Just realized I have never seen any photos (or confessions) of hunters wearing their Utilikilts on safari. Surely this has been done by some of the manlier men on the forum, I would think. Who's down on this surprisingly comfortable garment from Seattle?

Be careful what you ask for! And my knob-kneed legs have lost most of their summer tan ...

Reminds me of a story , true, no less...

Was hunting with an African PH by the name of Bob Jaga in Zimbabwe...Bob actually used a primitive version of the Utilikilt...but it didn't have any metal buckles etc.. Well, one hunt, in the heat of the day we took a rest under a baobab tree because we had been tracking lion on foot for quite some time... Bob tilted his bucket hat over his eyes and leaned against the tree and I, sitting next to him, did the same... Apparently at some time during our siesta a black mamba had slithered under Bob's kilt, curled his body up but extended his head out to where he could see... of course none of us knew a thing but I can distinctly hear Bob;'s hushed voice when he woke up and saw the mamba, there, lying in front of him...he said in a whisper "I know you are long, and I know you are black, but I don't ever remember those beady eyes...."

That would cure me!

A few years ago, we had a New Year's party, and one of my Scotish friends came in his kilt.

There were quite a few people there, and I started jokingly asking if he wore nything underneath it.

He said no, he did not have anything underneath his kilt.

I left them and copied the above photo onto my camera's memory card, and came back and pretended to take a photo underneath his kilt.

People started laughing and asking to see the photo.

I told them only the women can have a look, and I started showing them the above photo.

As you can imagine, there was so much laughter and all sorts of nasty comemntary on the state of his privates

They couldn't be worse than the short shorts some PH's wear-----

just saying

Saeed, does everyone in your family share the same, wicked sense of humor?
First mambas, now ticks ...

That was great, Saeed

Jim

Saeed, you are one sick puppy!

At first glance I thought that was a photo of a sleeping Sharpei puppy!

Oh boy oh boy, and winter hasn't even started.

They look very comfortable for warm weather. But last year I was wearing a short sleeve shirt hunting in Zimbabwe and got a sand worm infestation on my upper arm. It itched like crazy and now after healing there is a scar there. I would not want to have the same happen on my tender bits. So I am keeping my Southern region well covered. No Utili-Kilt on safari for me.

Reminds me of the old story of a Scotsman being at a party in his kilt and a woman says to him:

Sir, may I ask what's worn under the kilt?

And he replies:

Nuthin's worn under the kilt madam....... it's all in purrrrfect workin' orrrrder!



I have to ask what the hell's the difference between a utilikilt and a proper kilt?

Or is it a kilt for someone who isn't technically qualified to wear a tartan because they don't have any Scottish connection?

Try it and let us know what the difference is---

Mate, if you'd seen the length of my legs, you'd know why there's not a snowball's chance in hell that you'd ever get me into a kilt!

Utili-Kilt has pockets, a loop for a carpenter's hammer, and is made of canvas.

A proper kilt is ........ well, a proper kilt.

Oh OK. So it's a kilt with a built in tool belt.

There's a joke there somewhere if you look for it.

The last time I saw someone wearing one in public was at the Seattle Gun Show. Really big, hairy, freaky dude. Walking around wearing a tan utila-kilt and he had a big double bit ax over his shoulder. People were giving him a lot of room.

I happened to be at our courthouse the other day when a young man came into one of the courtrooms wearing a camo pattern kilt. I didn't check it for pockets or hammer loops but at least it had a hunting theme.
