Today I used a bigger bandanna, lined my mug with it like a cheese cloth, shook the thermos to get the grounds out with it, poured the mug full, twisted it as I lifted it to force filter it and squeeze the grounds and the coffee was great and smooth. Easy clean up to shake out the grounds into a stick dug hole and mix them into the dirt. Even in a spot with clear bear and mountain lion tracks in the last few weeks, no animal dig-up over the last week from the last few experiments. Bandanna dries in 37 seconds in the sun. Grin.

I used to wear Defeet Armskins in the summer and while they are not officially UV rated (as they are intended for cool/old weather) they worked great. They are rather thick tubular knit that cools your arms as you perspire underneath them. I had tried some UV arm sleeves from Amazon but none of them were form fitting as they were not a tubular knit, which literally wraps around your arms so no gripper stuff that wears off is necessary. They were basically non form fitting fabric sewn together with a silly seam and reminded me more of a shirt sleeve they cut off and stuck some gripper stuff on the end and called declared "Look, a UV arm sleeve !". Ahahahaha ! I did a search on amazon for compression uv arm sleeves and these are one example that fit the bill for being tubular and seamless. https://www.amazon.com/Protection-Cooling-Arm-Sleeves-Activities/dp/B07KYMF4KF .

Roberta, I want to know how your arm sleeves work out. I hate using sunscreen (I use natural stuff and it’s white and goopy) because you’re right - the arms get an obscene amount of sun in summer riding. I’ll be interested to know how they look and if they’re hot and how comfortable they are.
