That's right, no pee stains on your tighty whiteys.

Perhaps a kilt would be good if you also hiked with a set of bagpipes. And packed haggas for lunch. Being partly of Scottish ancestry, I can see the appeal.

If you hike with and play bagpipes, you have just earned yourself a hiking partner . I love the sound from bagpipes. Now I just need to find a violinist . . .

My new MH Elkommando kilt arrives today...needed to downsize as the one from last year is way too big...they definitely fit better than the MH Kilt from a few years back. I go back and forth, but loved hiking in the Elkommando last year. I wear Smart Wool boxer briefs, I find they breath much better than the synthetics out there, but cost over $40 a pair. I also use body glide on my thighs, butt, and beans...bad case of monkey butt back in 2005, ensures I will always be a fan of bodyglide. In winter I've worn running tights under the kilt, and never had issue. Also never had an issue with being picked up...folks along the trail know how weird we already are... a kilt isn't really gonna change that.

The way the guy says "crampon" and "ice axe" with a Scottish accent makes me want to rediscover my Scottish heritage!

Haggis for lunch?
