    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.
    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

    Once you are past being new to kilts you likely won't give it a thought, it will just be what you decided to wear that trip out. Welcomed to the rabble.

    I haven't had any issues camping and boat fishing in kilts. I wear cotton or denim kilts mostly because it is easier to get the soot and grease splatters out of cotton. I have camped with tartan but I brought along an apron for cleaning and cooking fish in the camp skillet with grease. This seems to get messy camping or at home.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

    I tend to wear my kilts on dressier occasions, so I don't take one camping. I have been watching and waiting for Stillwater Kilts to get more wool Black Stewart or Blackwatch kilts. I would take a knock-around camping.

    Kilted Camping is great!

    I have done it for years

    However...

    ...not so much!

    I've backpacked in a cotton/poly camouflage kilt in the Sierra Nevada for years and have essentially zero downsides to report with the exception of mosquitos.

    Hiking in a kilt is fun. Everyone you meet wants to talk to you.

    Hiking in a kilt

    I enjoy hiking in a kilt. I even bought a hiking kilt by sportkilt (the blue one pictured) but found it too light. My preference is the casual kilt by USA kilts. I think I would only wear the hiking kilt in desert conditions assuming there was no wind.
