It is interesting since kilts are my heritage. Even so, there day has long since passed. I did give them more respect, though, after watching Outlander. Also, it may have been mentioned here before, but during the days of William Wallace/Braveheart, they didn't wear kilts. That was a theatrical rewrite of history.

Yes, the guy has some worthwhile content on his channel. I had no idea that kilts started out by wearing a blanket. The kilts he showed in that video- that's a lot of cloth! Did you see how he made n A-frame shelter out of his kilt, with enough material left over to bundle up in? What a hoot! And the way it can be configured so as to provide a cloak? Really, I had no idea. | |||

There a Scottish museum in Franklin NC that has real kilts and other clothing items for sale. I bought Mrs Mike a cloak made of purple tartan for here a few years ago, she loves it. It is very warm and not too heavy, but it’s only 6’x4’....couldn’t imagine wearing 15 yards of it .

I had no idea as well. On my bucket list is walking the El Camino de Santiago. The thing about this trek is traveling light. As I watched this I imagined what it would be like using a light weight wool blanket like this for all that was mentioned : shelter, cover, carry things ... Just a thought I had. | |||

I had no idea. Fascinating. Essentially the same as. Roman Toga, which was a large rectangle of wool cloth. It does give me pause that a garment I thought impractical, actually could have had very practical uses. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

If this system were devised today, it would be called Wear-A-Tent and be made in China. | |||

my #2 son did that about 10 years ago. He cautioned to have your feet in very very VERY good walking condition. There seemed to be ample support along the way. My accountant's wife & her buddy did the walk about 5 years back. High praise there too.

I did that back in 1970, but I didn't go alone. I pushed a wheelchair with a guy in it who was dying from MS. He was very happy to be there in the plaza at the end, and, tbh, so was I. He died about a month after we got back from Spain. | |||

Going back to the original image, I have to say that seeing a male model wearing a plaid and holding a take-down recurve bow has to be one of the oddest mixes I've ever seen. It's as odd to me as seeing an Inuit guy playing a concert harp. | |||

Only thing left out was how to use one to create a romper room for the lasses. I suppose I'm on my own. Presumably lanolin for the assured chafing. Somehow using a few cords, a pine cone, and several rocks, it rotates and has a light show. | |||

I've always wanted a great kilt, but they are expensive as hell for a lark, and since I live in Florida, it's just not practical clothing.

A linen kilt?

Totally agree. I have been studying this for years and will be physically prepping months before I head out. I did a little research on the tartan fabric for The Great Kilt and found this website for tartan fabric made in Scotland : https://www.lochcarron.co.uk/tartan-fabric/ Pricey, but at least it is not made in China. | |||
