Safely stowed or swinging loose? Question for the boys...

[ohmu]

I never had a problem as long as I wore shorts during the day, so the wind can get in there and keep everything dry. One day I wore long pants and I could feel the sweat building up after half an hour of walking, so I went back to my tent, washed up, and changed into shorts so I wouldn't get a rash. Only powder can save you from a rash, and I hadn't brought any.

You'll want the long pants at night, though, so bring both.

Beg to differ, but long skirts are much warmer than trousers. The boys still hang loose and dry.

yep skirts are the way to go, having now been big baggy trousers, no underwear worked well for me. next year a kilt as my towel just didnt work well after 2 days as a skirt.
i had trouble finding any skirts or dresses i liked prior to going
also if you have a long long shirt that works on its own with little shirtcocking risk.

MyLarry prefers tie-dyed tighty whities under his kilt, otherwise the canvas chafes the little guy. When wearing loose soft pants or skirts, then nothing. Boxers for around camp wear. I get to wash the twig and berries a lot, so dust is not an issue.

Best.comment.ever.
