Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knew what a kilted highlander would traditional take to the field?

I'm an avid hiker/camper/backpacker. I was wondering on my long hikes, how would a highlander do this?

With all the modern, lightweight gear we have nowadays, it makes it pretty easy. But years ago, what was a standard kit?

Of course, the kilt would be his bed. The sporran to carry his oatmeal (How much, I wonder, perday?).

But what of how to prepaire the oatmeal? Or was it eaten dry and chewed? Water wouldn't have been an issue. Any other items they would have taken?

Just some questions for thought and discussion.
