The 3 W’s
I was at Edmond’s Savvy Traveler today buying some random vagabond supplies when Lisa insisted that I get “Moleskin.” If you’re standing in darkness and shadow of uninformed-ness, just like I was, Moleskin is stuff that you put on blisters to make them warm, cozy, and keep you out of a foul mood.
The instructions go as follows:
- Drain the fluid using a sterilized razor or knife.
- Apply a moleskin “donut,” then fill the hole with ointment and cover with more moleskin or tape.
- Remember the three W’s: Whine, Wince, and Walk with a limp (even if the blister’s on your hand).

moleskin is absolutely vital. When Lisa and I were in Britian and Ireland I got two bit blisters and would have given my left arm for some good moleskin. When we went to Italy and Greece I brought the economy sized package (well worth the weight and money!). So, on behalf of any future blisters you might get, I implore you not to skimp on the moleskin!
