Protect your knees
This may be obvious to many, but kneepads are something I use often working kilted.

Do you color coordinate your knee pads with all your kilts? Knees pads are good even when wearing pants but very important with a kilt. Thanks for the insight.

Seems completely logical, though certainly overlooked?

Too right I would, Gray!
I also wear knee pads, especially when gardening. If I didn't, my knees would carry the impression of whatever I was kneeling on for at least 24 hours - even grass - and I would probably be semi-crippled for the same period of time!! Kneeling is not actually very good for the over 70s, but it is the only way I can get down to work at ground level.

Knee pads are an important consideration, even in pants.
Last weekend I went paintballing in my kilt, and of course I wore kneepads. I also had tall wool socks pulled up, so naturally one time while sliding behind cover I scratched the heck out my leg right between the two.
I now have a huge scabbed over brush-burn about 4x4 on my that I am hoping goes away before the wedding next week.
.. the kilt had concealed a blaster strapped to one thigh and a knife to the other. He was aware of the present gentle customs against personal weapons, but he felt naked without them. Such customs were nonsense anyhow, foolishment from old women - there was no such thing as "dangerous weapons," only dangerous people.

Do you think Ham could get her to do his gardening? I'd let her work on my garden any time.
