I reach inside my tent to get some water and notice yesterday's heavily salt-crusted t-shirt

I'm always intrigued by salt stains since they exude from the body without us noticing their accumulation. Merino-wool t-shirts, like this one by Smartwool, are the best for hot weather activities! It's amazing that it doesn't smell a lot worse.
