    What kilt were you wearing? A hazard for most any kilt, but moreso for the light weight ones.

    But the wind can catch a heavy kilt too. I'd guess my UK brown leather is one of my heaviest. But when I went climbing in Mystery Valley, Utah and the wind got under me then the kilt got a free lift, even as heavy as it is.



    Practice walking kilted on windy days, get used to the wind like women get used to the wind when wearing skirts. You'll learn to be extra alert at the edges of buildings, entering a building, standing beside a vehicle - especially a truck.

    But sometimes, when the wind "gets you" ya just gotta brass it out.

    It doesn't get windy in Phoenix very often.....but on windy days I have done some tests and my Toyota Camry will do it every time. Well....okay....one time it wasn't a test. I got out of the car and was standing there checking to see how much money I had before going into the store and along came a gust of wind!

    Now....can someone tell me when I go back out to the car with the groceries how I am supposed to carry the groceries AND open the car door WHILE holding down my kilt? I don't have that many hands!

    For years I thought it was just hilarious when this happened to women and I always wanted a front row seat for the event. Now that it is happening to me it's a totally different experience.
