I can see that pioneering spirit in you Andrew, well done.
If you wear the T shirt too, you'll be worth your weight in gold as advertising for Bear Kilts!

I must say I'm impressed, and more than a little jealous. Would love nothing more than to do these trails.
You'll have to let us know when you are doing the CDT. Will most certainly join you on the Colorado leg of the journey....and I'll bring along a wee dram or two. :grin:

It may be time for Terry to sit down and design a page on his site that presents the facts on BearKilts' MPP (Miles Per Pleat).
Testimonials from hikers on the comfort and durability of his kilt construction would be a thing of beauty. Many would imagine that a UtiliKilt would be great for the hikes, but Bear's sewing techniques and the designs are condusive to long-term comfort. I know that I would prefer comfort over function on such a venture!
Good luck on the future treks buddy! I look forward to the future "blogs" or journal entries.
Arise. Kill. Eat.

If Utilikilts made a non-cotton kilt they might be in the running. But I don't like the feel of the UK narrow underapron between my legs as I walk.
I'll be sure to post my journal as I go along, and try to drop in here from time to time to check in. 
...Just another six months to go. The countdown is on!
Andrew.

I have offered to swap Andrew a new kilt for his old one for all the advertising he's given Bear Kilts.
He refuses to swap until he's walked all 8000 miles.
That kilt will hang in on a plaque on the wall like a rare signed hockey sweater in a sports bar. The inscription will read:
The 8000 Mile Kilt, followed by some details about where it's been with Andrew.

Fantastic. Just right on down with it fantastic.
I've got to bang together a kilt to backpack in. I've GOT to do this.
