How to keep your umbrella from blowing away while you are taking a siesta.

When taking refuge from the hot mid day sun, on the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail), I would lay under a tree or a bush. If I was bothered by sun light filtering through the leaves, I would unfurl my silver coated trekking umbrella and block out the rogue sun beams.

To keep the umbrella from blowing away as I napped, I unbuttoned a button on my shirt, wrapped the strap of the umbrella around my button and re-buttoned it.

It's you against the sun, in the desert.  Be prepared
