Sitting on the ground in a kilt? LOL!

[slothead]

I sat on the ground during the last local games (because I didn't want to carry a collapsing chair around - my wife did), so I just made sure that i had a blanket to sit on (grass stains are more of a concern for me than any 'accidental views') and I crossed my legs after I got seated. I used my wife's chair to assist with the standing process and everything went just fine.

For occasions where a lot of sitting or standing is likely to be involved, I have a hard camera case. I can stand on it for a better view as I am not very tall or sit on it as required. It is also totally waterproof so ideal for UK events!

Hi ! Just try to make it look good when u sit and stand..Being a female we are taught how to do things so we don't embarrass ourselves lol..I just make sure it's under me, like sitting in a chair but on the ground, legs r crossed or together. When I get up I just make sure my kilt is still down and get up without having my butt in the air lol. You have alot of great ideas from alot of gentleman... GOOD LUCK. ...Angie

I usually sit , if sitting on the ground , and let the kilt drape down between my legs as I have a habit of sitting with my legs open when on the floor !.
Works for me so far!.

PS: I dont as a rule go commando anyways!.

same as above. i can actually sit with my legs crossed, straight down, with no use of my hands, its like a chair folding itself closed into a seated position.
once seated my sporran usually helps keep the center of the kilt from exposure of underneath, and then i can pull one knee in the air and hold the kilt closed with my hand.
getting up is the same, with legs crossed i can rise up with no hands and the kilt gracefully follows... product of strong legs and keeping fit past 40!

When I was a small child we often had to sit on the floor at school. I remember the teachers always telling us all to sit cross-legged every time this occurred. With hindsight, I imagine this may have been at least partly because wearing skirts was compulsory for the girls, and if you sit in that position then your legs block the view up your skirt. Seems that would work for a guy in a kilt. Can't help the ones who insist on going sans underwear, but that's their problem.

Well past 40! I'm 70 next year and can still do that; but you do need a hand to push the aprons down on the downward journey if there is anyone seated opposite.

I had a slightly different challenge last weekend scaling and then sitting on top of a wall, to watch the America's Cup races in Portsmouth. Changing leg positions was the most challenging as ancient legs don't like one position for too long and I was up there for around 4 hours.

I'd sit with legs stretched out, as you said, or even cross-legged with the apron of the kilt well tucked down. You could also sit on your knees, meditation-style, or with your legs bent up and tucked behind you.

Really, the only position I wouldn't recommend is sitting with your feet flat and knees bent up, but technically you could even manage that by tucking the kilt down between your legs, if you didn't mind your knees and thighs being naked (it might look funny...).

I always laugh at these questions, but I guess it's not something most men have known how to do practically since before they remember being taught/figuring out the logistics...
