Is it too last minute?

jj, I have a quick question for you. On about day four (between Low Gap and Tray Mountain), you mention wearing a rain kilt that helped keep you comfortable while hiking in the rain. What's a rain kilt and where did you get it (or how did you make it)?

Just a skirt that offers rain protection. ZPacks, Lightheart, and a few other companies make them. I made one with 2mil poly and Velcro. It was nice but I ditched it and just used quick drying running shorts. There's also instructions on here somewhere to make one out of Tyvek. Actually ended up not using rain gear at all unless it was cold, but it's definitely a better option then rain pants due to ventilation.

Many a hiker simply wraps folded groundsheet around waist and tucks in to make skirt.

Or driduck pants work. Cut off at knees. Split legs up inseams . tape front and back to make skirt.

Hoping to make it happen in the next 3-5 years, maybe sooner.
