Andrew: I've followed your Appalachian Trail hike and the PCT as well. I applaud you, first for marching to the beat of a different drummer, and second for showing how utilitarian the kilt really is. I don't think, however, that I ever heard the story of how you started hiking, and how you started kilting, and if the one in any way influenced the other, or if they just came together naturally.

I was wondering if you could give us a short recap of how you started hiking and how you started kilting, and your thoughts and impressions? I'm pretty sure that it would be a big hit, not only with me but with many many of our other readers and posters.

Hope this doesn't seem too forward!

Best,

KC
