All right, it's rather silly I'll admit. But have any of the folks here wor a kilt or Utilikilt on a hunt? The heavy canvas Utilikilt that looks it was made by Carhartt would actually offer more protection than the hunting shorts so often seen.

Hey Bill, Tell'm to go pound sand. Us Northwesterners (I'm up here in Seattle) are pretty independent. So are PH's and the lot, and frankly, I'd think the folks there would get a big kick out of it. If you are in RSA, remember that the Boers still don't think a hell of a lot of the Brits. Kind of like the Scots. So you might find them pretty simpatico. Go for it! | |||

I was just gonna add that too - also parts of the KZN Midlands. Despite what some may think, kilts and bagpipes are quite easy to find around SA.... The english/Afrikaaner tension is nothing more than good natured rivalry these days - I'm a half breed andI can only ever remeber people who have now passed being really anti english or afrikaaner, its all but gone for real, except some isolated times....like Bulls vs. sharks | |||

If "more protection than the hunting shorts" is the goal... how about pants. It would seem that something that loose (hanging away from the body) would catch on brush and thorns a whole lot worse than shorts or even pants. If it's just to prove a point have at it. Kyler | |||

I'm not sure if the Kilt would catch on the bushes so much as the panty hose might run from thorn damage.. | |||

As far as the call of nature goes, it's easier to run with your kilt up than your pants down. | |||

I just want to hide and watch when the first Tsetse flies under the kilt and tries to make a meal out of something tender. Talk about dancin' a jig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |||

A kilt in Africa? Only with a red jacket with shiny brass buttons. The real question is, can you put your cartridges in your sporran? | |||

And Taylor hunted in a diaper,just like his favorite tracker! I think you would look better in a kilt, that John Taylor did in a diaper!  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

At a big gun show near Seattle there was a strange fellow walking around in a Carhart UtiliKilt. He also had a scary looking felling axe over his shoulder so I tried not to stare. If you want to wear one on safari go ahead, it's your money and nobody elses business. We go hunting for our own pleasure and if wearing a kilt makes the experience more enjoyable then it is all good. Maybe you could wear one to the deer camp to sort of try it out. Please post pictures. Best Regards, Don Elephant Hunter, Double Rifle Shooter Society, NRA Lifetime Member, Ten Safaris, in RSA, Namibia, Zimbabwe | |||

Don: Perhaps it would be more appopriate to wear the kilt round the campfire for drinks and dinner. The Utilikilts are made in Seattle. Perhaps I shall wear one with my pith helmet when testing loads from the Martini Henry, what? There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

 Very pretty. Also comes in "sky blue".   For the "rugged" client on safari. Have you heard of the three Glaswegians who went on safari wearing kilts, "Iva Bigun, Ben Dover, and Phil McCafferty." | |||
