Udder Butter. They might have changed the packaging. Used to get it at the drug store in a tin. Now I only see a tube.

I couldn't leave it at the clubhouse. My fellow sportsmen kept stealing it. I suspect most of them had never had cracked skin.

Chapped hands, maybe.

I don't want to speculate ...
I’m in the utter butter club also
My wife got me some body butter from robins nest I put it on my hands and feet when at home and it’s dry weather

A tube of Corona utter butter if traveling or pack hunting

My knuckles dry out here in AZ this time of year. The best I’ve found is unscented Cerave lotion. Not greasy, heals up the cracks fast, etc. I also wear merino fingerless gloves from November through February while hunting and backpacking in AZ. It helps to keep them from drying out.

Best I have found for daily use but I don't take this on hunts.https://www.badgerbalm.con
I usually have a bag of cotton balls with Vaseline on them to start camp stove fire in my hot tent. Each night when I start a fire I kill two birds with one stone. Vaseline helps with the hands and one of the best fire starters around.

I didn't read all three pages.
My dad was a machinist and his hands were always a mess. Whatever lotion he used, he slept with cotton "jersey" gloves on and said it helped.

I work in a women's prison and get to look at some of the nastiest hooves you can imagine. We prescribe Minerin/Eucerin lotion, and it gets those hooves nice and pretty for fair week!

My hands are always dry when the humidity gets low, and if I don't keep up with something like Okeefes working hands they will crack and bleed. This year in Colorado for a week, my hands started cracking and bleeding really bad. I didn't have anything with me to put on them. Towards the end they actually kept me from sleeping from throbbing pain. Does anyone suffer from the same issue and have something that really works well to keep on them when in the field for weeks at a time?
