My kilts are melting.

Time to start making your own kilts my friend. The money you save can go towards off-setting the cost of hemp.

I've talked with Dread a bit and THAT MAN KNOWS HIS FABRICS!!!!!

I agree, making your own kilts is a GREAT IDEA!!!! You've got plenty of unique ideas and time to go it.
So, would regular wool ("saxony") work well?
Poly/wool blends (like the wool poly blend Douglas on sale at F & K)?

Wow, that is a challenge! Hemp and various hemp blends have become more available by the month, it seems. I'll echo that suggestion--I've seen a few weights at my local shop that would make comfortable liners.

So basically its a choice between melting kilts and dialysis? I'd stick with the melting kilts...

BTW, you can find capsaicin capsules in some pharmacies and health food stores...perhaps that could help...
Also, I was thinking. How about a removable sweat-shield for around the waistband? You could use any material (flannel? hemp?) large enough to go around your waist, but narrow enough to put the kilt on over. Stitch hooks to the material, and eyes to the sweat shield and attach together (to keep it from shifting up or down). Just a thought.

I am eating a big bag of wasabi peanuts right now. Each bite feels like Bruce Lee is drop kicking me right in the nose.

Wife says she can feel the waves of heat coming off of me.

My cousin Rob has found these red and green chili flavoured pistachios that are a real treat to eat. A nice slow burn effect.

The capsaicin capsules are a waste of time for me. To small of a dose for entirely to much money. And then there is the vitamin C found in chilis, as well as all of the other good for you things. Oils and amino acids in the seeds. It is better to eat what you need in a natural form as nature intended. Really good chilis will actually get you high and provide incredible pain relief, with effects that rival marijuana use for people that suffer from crippling chronic pain.

The side effects are worth it I think. I have a life again. I feel better now than I have in at least a full decade.
