    No Robert,

    I didn't kick over that tree...but once in 1990 at a men's gathering I was doing some anger release work and did pull a smaller dead tree out of the ground and beat it to kindling against a large rock...adrenaline surge I suppose.

    O.K., but how about a video, instead?

    Backpacking in the Grand Tetons for three days. Camped below Hurricane Pass from the Idaho side, with day hiking to the pass and exploring the ridges. Wore my USMC MARPAT kilt during the days - and added polypro long johns for evenings and mornings in camp.



    Preliminary discussions underway with another XMarker for hiking the John Muir Trail in California's Sierra Nevada sometime in the next few years. (Let's see what publicly stated goals can produce. )



    And my two-week long ride is coming up in a few weeks.



    Most of my nights are spent camping along the way in national, regional, state, and city parks. One kilt will travel with me for off-bike time. (Note: the pic above is posed. I've only cycled kilted once - one afternoon in Victoria, B.C.)

    Another kilt will be used in air travel to my beginning point and sent ahead to my destination point, where I'm sure a "fresh" kilt would be appreciated by my host.


    Yup, nothing like being kilted in the outdoors...

    Those pics were taken in the Hocking Hills region of south eastern Ohio. Here is the link to the original thread I started.

    This was about a year ago. It is above the Leutasch Klamm near the German-Austrian border. That is one thing I miss about being in Germany, the easy access to hiking trails and relatively untouched areas.

    Boy, if kilts weren't good in the woods, I'd be in a lot of trouble!



    And here's an old one from this past winter...



    Yep, that's ice.
