CDT Hiker abandons kilt
There are considerations besides comfort, Haiku finds:
Don’t get me wrong - I love hiking in a kilt. Around here the kilt gets a LOT of strange looks. I normally don’t mind the looks, but now I’m relying on the helpfulness of strangers, for hitches into town and the like. I got the feeling on our last hitch that the kilt really hurt our chances. So I’ll hike in shorts.
