Knees Wrapped in Clingfilm
« on: 18:20:25, 20/05/18 »
I saw a hiker with his knees wrapped in clingfilm today and don't know why he did this. Anyone got any ideas?

Normally used to keep burns clean and infection free ... maybe he had some infections  :-\

 I should imagine it was for pain control.

Quite handy though for storing your sandwich if there's no room in your bag and it's easier to get out  :D

I’m guessing they may have not had any support bandages/tubigrips, so improvised!
