If I don't put on sunscreen (or even if I do) I will burn. Back-to-back burns on the upper back hurts. A few true stories:

Summer camp on houseboats on the Sacramento Delta (03): I put sunscreen on myself in the morning, sat on top of the boat for a couple hours, and after that, found out I had very red legs. If I hadn't been wearing water shoes, my feet would have been red too. Moral: One application is not enough. Reapply later.

Early one summer (04), on a camping trip: Went for a swim in a river without sunscreen. My upper back got it.

Later that summer: at a Scout camp, took badge classes at the pool for three hours a day. Got very red upper back in the first day. Forgot sunscreen the second day. Third day: [Lifesaving badge counselor]: Please don't tell me you forgot to put sunscreen on again. [Me]: I remembered this time!

I got burned about a week ago on my arms just doing the lawn (a two hour job, approximately.)
