Clockwork, you might consider wearing the "fly" portion of the plaid tucked into your belt. This way you can carry a backpack.

Are you an accomplished hiker?
Nah, I've never had the means (time or money, or both) to do any really lengthy excursions. It's been more of a weekend thing, but I am hoping that will change this coming year. I do like true camping though; actually being alone in the wilderness with what I have as opposed to going to more luxurious 'camp sites'. I want to try using the great kilt for a couple weekend trips in various conditions so I can get an idea of not only what to expect with it, but to see if it really could work as well as I'm envisioning it. I've been wrong about things and this may be another instance of that, but I guess I won't know until I try. Either way, I'll be left with newfound knowledge from first-hand experience, and in the end that's (to me) what matters most.

And good call on the "fly" plaid bit; I'll be trying different configurations to find what works best and report back.
