Some Belted Plaid/Great Kilt Questions

[llyd]

I wholeheartedly concur with what has been said about modern sleeping gear...I have spent many nights under wool in better conditions than the woods...

Were I to pursue such a ye olde rustic path....I would aquire a gray wool army or Navy blanket, and a stout piece of duck canvas with which to make an oilskin ground cloth and cover....then I would totally cheat the system by lining it with cotton flannel or the like...I prefer to sleep warm in a cold room....sooo...

the advantage of this is that it can be rolled into a bedroll into which a suprising amount of incidental gear may be contained...

I would be more likely to carry a knapsack or the like which would be more or less aligned with the purpose stated....and carry modern gear in it.
