I had my own kilted tire adventure this weekend Ron. Went camping deep in the desert, on barely marked run down jeep trails. I popped a hole in my sidewall on a sharp rock.
Fortunately I carry a plug kit, and even though plugs are not recommended for sidewalls, it held and got me through the trip. I was wearing my old UK workmans though, a kilt designed for that type of work.
I dont think I'd have wanted to do it in a traditional wool kilt at all!

I actually didnt lose that much air, and since I was on sand and gravel I just aired down the other tires to match for better traction. (from 34 psi to 21 psi)
I do have a small 12v compressor in the jeep however, along with the aforementioned plug kit, recovery strap, shovel, etc...
