    Inter-planatery Kilting

    Makes sense that the popularity of kilts cannot be contained to just one planet.



    Freedom Kilts maroon dress model on the Moon. I found that if you huff enough oxygen before the photo shoot you can go without a space suit for a while.




    USA Kilts Ramsay Casual exploring the planet Mars. The Teflon coating helps resist the red Martian dust from sticking to the fabric.



    Kilts make it a LOT easier to climb out of craters, like this one on Mars. The USA Kilts saffron semi-trad also helps with camo just in case there are hostile Martians lurking about.



    Old lava flow troughs are the best way to get around on Venus but the footing is often tricky. A good kilt, like the black Utilikilt Survival II helps give that freedom of motion necessary to keep your balance on other Planets. You can carry extra oxygen in the cargo pockets too.

    Anyone else done any kilted inter-planetary exploring?

    Love the pictures. We were out that way 2 weeks ago to visit some friends. Unfortunately there wasn't room for kilts as the new checked luggage fees inspired us to cram as much into carry-ons and 1 checked bag. I'm hoping Virgin Galactic changes that policy in the future.

    Have you come across Major Tom yet? If you do, could you tell him "ground control" are still trying to reach him.

    That was a perfect picture of you McMurdo! Very good photo-editing.

    [doing my best Cliff Claven impression]

    You know now, Ron, that a swatch of tartan has been to the moon -- specifically the MacBean tartan with Commander Alan Bean of Apollo 12.

    Very nice pics Ron. The closest I've been to where you are is Vegas. I was blown away by foreign and beautiful that area is. Walking through the Red Rock Conservation Area was really something.
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear
