Kilts and camping, feedback and tips

[MishawakaKilt]

I'm new to kilts, just got my first one, a black watch polyviscose from a seller called AAR products. For a first kilt I'm happy with it for a first 5 yard kilt.

Ok back to my question, has anyone gone camping kilted, thoughts, comments, hangups etc. Want to combine my love of camping and kilts, also a cast iron dutch oven cooking lover.
Wood smoke in the air, food simmering in a iron dutch oven,
Fireside and in a kilt, I don't life could get any better.

Obviously acrilic fabric and campfires I'm sure don't mix well.

Looking forward to your thoughts and stories, JIM

I've not camped in a tent kilted, but camped kilted in the back of my landrover van....
If your tent is the type you have to enter on your knees, then I'd leave the tent forwards and enter the tent backwards!!!
I'd also use a folding chair rather than sit on a log, A. to reduce the view to the world, B. Kilt fabric is not as safe against snags, than canvas trousers are.
Rig something so you can hang you kilt up in the tent overnight.

With a kilt mosquitoes and other biting insects can get at flesh that is more tender than that exposed by trousers. Bring lots of insect repellent!

I've done a whole bunch of kilted camping, from Illinois to Nova Scotia and down to the Carolinas all as part of an 18th Century reenactment group.

All wool great kilt is a wonderful thing, its a blanket, pot holder, sun shade ect..

I've lived in a tent with a kilt for about a year (in two six-month stretches). If you'd otherwise wear shorts and camp there's nothing different about wearing a kilt and camping. I had no problem sitting on the ground, and if the weather was cold I'd just drape my sleeping bag over my knees.

Here's to kilted camping. Definitely don't forget the insect repellant.
