Skål!
Don't mean to hijack the thread, but....Wow, that looks like a picture of the month candidate if I ever saw one. Where are you backpacking Oddern?

Back on topic, here in west central Illinois I'd be afraid of ruining a kilt in about 5 minutes on the multiflora rose bushes. Those babies can tear up carhartts in some cases. I've not backpacked kilted, but have hiked a fair piece on the lake front in Chicago (from the Planetarium up to north of the Drake) with no problems. I use Band-Aid brand anti chafe cream which comes in a container like a mini deodorant bar. It works very well.
