kilts in the outdoors

Or should I dress like we saw some hikers, Teva's, Sunglasses and Backpack. MrBill

It has been shown that naturists hiking have a much less chance of picking up dear ticks in the woods. It seems that the ticks prefer some layer of clothing to latch on to and crawl under, in order to attach themselves. With that in mind, the kilt is a better choice than shorts.

Assuming that you feel the need to cover up, that is.

And just HOW do you know this Mr Mudd?????

Hey Onion,

Some of us have field experience. This aging naturist never had a tick. And, thought you folks in New Jersey were home to the first ever such resort in the U.S.of A and continue to have free beaches around Sandy Hook...?

Hey, Mr. Bill

I'll be headed up to Orvis Hot Springs at Ridgeway, CO the end of the month but think will head up through Cortez rather than Moab...close, but no cigar...

Ron
Kilted, when I can't be tick bait.

A friend of mine filled me in on the benefits of going clothes free in a tick danger zone a while back - his explanation was that they usually bite when caught in an area of confinement of some sort - like where clothing & skin connect - no clothes = no problem



And, yes, NJ was the home to one of the first C/O resorts - and i think its still in opertatioons - havent been there yet, but am a regular (read EVERY WEEKEND thru the summer) at the beach at Sandy Hook - which reminds me that i have to get busy picking out fabric for my beach/summer kilts - the UK styled ones i have already made are a bit heavy for beach wearing... and now i have to worry about getting sand trapped in my pleats :-(

Hows that for bringing it BACK on topic in the end

You are so right Yaish! Here's a pic of me in my then new UK black Survival II taken by my girlfriend. She in pants, had gone ahead and backslid down this nasty piece of Cathedral Wash in Marble Canyon, AZ.

I'm hung up. Wearing pants I woulda backslid in a heartbeat, but kilted and regimental...:confused:

What you can't see are the other hikers waiting for me to "do something." The two concerns were being arrested and skinning my backside on the sandstone.

Finally turned and came down facing the cliff with my girlfriend helping spot my foot placement.

And that bulge in my belly is the pocket of my hoodie stuffed with gear...I ain't "that" fat yet....

Your pleats… right, you need to worry about betting sand in your pleats. :rolleyes:
