Don't fret, Tommie, the reverse Kingussie is the best design for hiking - I started out making all my kilts Kingussie style and have remade all but one of them in the reverse way having had to go back and retrieve one from a particularly dense set of bushes. It was a case of leave it behind or rip it free, so I decided to preserve my handiwork at the cost of a few scratches.
I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed."
