    I don't like stuff in my pants pockets either. The pockets on a UK are different, though, as they're external pockets. So you don't feel the contents of the pocket inside the garment like you do with the front pocket on a pair of pants. And the UK pockets are also only really anchored to the kilt at the top, so they don't press tightly against you like the back pocket of a pair of pants. Last but not least, the best pockets on the UK are the ones on the sides, where they don't interfere with walking or sitting.

    The only stuff I carry in my pockets while hiking are a handkerchief, map, clicker to unlock my truck, the rubber bottom that pulls off my hiking staff to reveal the 'combi-spike', Chap-stik, and maybe a small pocket knife. Everything else goes in a pack if I'm wearing one, or in my wife's saddle bags.

    Chap stick! I forgot to list that. As an addict I always have it. Also good for friction relief in sensitive places like the feet and 'crotchital area'.

    Just don't let any prospective love interest see you doing that....

    EDIT: I mean a chapstick addict. Crack and methedrine users also need to use chapstick, even though few bother- but that is not their addiction issue.

    No true mountain man would turn a hair about using one tube for all such body parts. All others are dudes and tourists.

    Nothing wrong with that. Sharing your chapstick is a different story.
    The grass is greener on the other side of the fence...and it's usually greenest right above the septic tank.

    I use bodyglide, it comes in a stick like deoderant, easy to cover larger areas. Got it at REI.
