I plan to wear my kilt in the outdoors, and was wondering about a couple of things that might be specific to their use outdoors. The first concerns bugs. Other than a liberal spraying of exposed body part with bug repellent, is there anything specific, or unique I need to know? Also, living in New England, I am exposed to ticks quite frequently. I would be interested in hearing some advice, and experiences (not horror stories) concerning ticks.


My other question is on the subject of kilts and water. Being as I will be outdoors so much my kilt is sooner or later going to get wet. Of course, with a wool kilt this won't affect warmth too much, but I'm wondering about the effect on pleating, and drying times, procedures, etc...

Thanks
