Sup niggers
Long story short I am training to be a scout sniper and I've run into somewhat of a road block. In order to perform at the top of my class I need to be able to run 20+ miles with a 50 lb ruck as well as my rifle and full cammies. The weight isn't the hard part actually, believe it or not. The main problem I'm running into is chafing. I chafe in places I didn't think were possible. Keep in mind I'm a large individual (for you). Just under 200 lbs at 5'11".
So I can run 10+ miles absolutely no problem. But at 15 miles the chafing starts to become in issue. I chafe in my thighs, armpits, and lower back where my ruck secures around my hips. It wouldn't be a problem finishing a single event except I have to perform for days and weeks at a time and the chafing is truly unbearable. I'm also afraid of infection due to being out in the field for extended periods of time.
I've tried compression shorts, Vaseline, corn starch (all so far have actually made it worse). Please help, I don't want my career to be ended because I'm chafing in between my massive thunder thighs.
Tl;dr how to stop chafing

Tried baby powder?

Well OP. I'm going to sleep so I'll type it out anyway and hope you see it.
First bit of advice is to try and lose weight to decrease the amount of contact
Next, try shaving against the grain or waxing/nair to get rid of any hair. No stubble whatsoever otherwise it's gonna be way worse
try baby powder, vaseline, and compression shorts in all combination and varying amounts. Try really tight tights, enough to corset your thighs and eliminate friction on skin.
The idea, I'm sure you're aware is to minimize friction and keep the area dry. At a certain point there's just not much you can do except lose weight to avoid skin-skin when it comes to long distance.
Godspeed anon. Hail Satan.

Mate as an Aussie digger whose done similar things, you don't stopbthe chafing. Ignore it and Carry on. Chafing should be the least of your worries on a course as hardcore as snipers.
