:D:D I don't guess anyone remembers the old movie "DELIVERANCE" ?? Wear one of those things in the woods and you will get more than kidded. The sound of banjos best make you run far & fast.:eek::eek:
Get a real kilt if your gonna wear one, traditional is always best IMHO, except nothing but the best and stay original. From time to time I wear my kilt on treks and it is great, just about everyone knows they are a heritage thing and respect those wearing them, alot of early settlers in the south (Virginia and Tennessee) were scots and irish, some of the most famous explorers were scots and the white man who led the trail of tears was a scot John Ross and he was the chief of a Cherokee Native American Tribe, he wore a kilt also. So yes kilts are known and okay in the wilderness.
I've hiked with guys in skirts, some like them a great deal. But to take this thread seriously, and as someone that has worn more than a few skirts herself here is what I have to offer on the subject. Items in pants pockets seem to fit better than items in skirt pockets. If you have large thighs (which I don't) and wear a kilt/skirt you might want to be aware that your thighs may rub together when you walk, skin on skin can be very painful and might cause a rash.
Many outfitters are now carrying hiking kilts for men if you are interested. I'd go with a light-weight quick-dry fiber.
A kilt is not a skirt, lets get that point settled first, my ancestors wore one a long time ago and it is not a skirt as evidenced by the fact a woman buys a kilt skirt, and traditional kilts don't have pockets, you keep items in a pouch called a sporran, and you'd probably have a pack, backpack, or haversack with you. I have been wearing my kilt for more than 10 years and never experienced any thigh rubbing and I'm 6'4" tall and weigh 235 lbs.
As far as I am concerned, a kilt is a man skirt.
Well thanks for summing up years of my heritage in one misinformed sentence, thanks. In your frame of thought women wearing pants are wearing mens clothing, hmmm... whatever.
I am Scotch-Irish myself on one side and Swedish on the other and pure Appalachian-American or Redneck, whatever you prefer to call me when all the others are added. I am PROUD of my heritage also but running thru the brairs & bushes in a kneehigh skirt just ain't very clever without hip boots. Just my opinion and I am sticking to it !!
Sorry, Beo but I don't think you're going to make any headway here. I respect the tradition but skirt, dress or kilt, I ain't puttin' one on. The first time I sat on a splinter I'd probably burn the darn thing.
Coot - I'll bet the rednecks, and bluenecks for that matter, would be eyein' you something fierce if you walked into the saloon wearing one. You'd have to drag out your old pike pole to keep at 'em at bay.
When trekking and wearing my kilt I have on leggings either wool or deer skin, and have been in many pubs, bars, and taverns, in the north and south and have never had a problem with anyone, and I played my bagpipes for the 101st Airborne in my kilt for the funeral of a friend on post, and most women like them on a man. Its not about skirts, its about pride in heritage. As for what is worn underneath... ladies only to find out.
And Rick... I thought you of all people around here would back me on this, where is my boy Trax when I need him :(
Och, Beo, laddie! Ignore 'em!, me sainted Grannie woulda said "they're wee men laddie, ya dinna wanna hae no ken of 'em" if they're naay Scootish they're crrrrraaapp!! As they say back in the Highlands...England forever! Scotland just a wee bit longer!
Yeah, thanks bro :D
gift wrapped,eh???:p
Yes ma'am. :DQuote:
