Did Mother Nature Lift Your Kilt?

[Riverkilt]

Hey Shay, I can PM you a pic of the proof - Don't think Hank wants that sorta thing on the board. Was on the Colorado River in Glen Canyon (venturi effect in the canyon maybe??) drying my basil UK Survival II near the bow of the raft...back end blew up mooning the rest of the folks aboard the raft. It was an AA float trip and a quick guy behind me not only documented the event, he shared it with most everyone else at the AA Roundup that weekend.

Another time, last summer, was on the Navajo Nation at the Tuba City swapmeet in my UK camo original. Wind was whipping that puppy around. I thought I was doing well until the FRONT end whipped up in my face in front of an "ama sani" (that's very elderly Navajo grandmother)...think it embarrassed me more than her since it wasn't my intent.

So far, no problems with my wool kilts or other contemporary kilts that I can recall.

Did get Marilyn Monroe'd in downtown Albuquerque, N.M. last June wearing a UK Survival II but think it would have done ANY kilt...was one of those sidewalk grates that suddenly blasts an updraft. I was directly over it and suddenly had my kilt in my face - all around. I was regimental and in front of a fancy restaurant with table seating by the windows...at dinner time. Didn't get a good look at the reactions, if any, of the diners...the windows were kinda tinted and I wanted AWAY from there!

Those are the one's I recall off the top of my head.

I am so glad it hasn't happened to me yet.

I'm used to the front over-apron blowing open from time to time, that never bothers me because the under-apron always stays closed.
I guess I've just been lucky. I even stood in the rotor wash of an Apache helicopter last year while video taping it's takeoff with no problem. That was in my far lighter BK cavas kilt even.
