      As someone who wears a Utilikilt workman almost every single day I greatly appreciate the modernized utility kilts. An I have several from a few different places and I might need to add on of these to my collection.
      Also if you're interested in camo Kilts I'd take a look at Stumptown Kilts as well. They have rip stop digital camo Kilts as well as an awesome M81 woodland style twill kilt.

    Hello there.
    A Kilt wearing tip for "colder" conditions.
    1. A heavier Kilt with thicker material.
    2. Combine the Kilt with long, thick socks or thick calf warmers if you don't like thicker socks. Above this you wear army gaiters. I prefer the old ones, like the Swiss army gaiters.
    I'm not scottish or a sports shooter, but I love to hike in a Kilt, even in winter conditions, never had any issues.
    AND if you want to go the extra step, add an old school british army kilt cover made from heavy canvas. This is how they did it in WW1.

      It is true that if you keep moving, the legs will take care of themselves for the most part; but I prefer having a couple layers on em if it gets anywhere below 0°F.

      @@Howjadoo22 well, the story is not so great in written form, to be honest. 😃But there is this military event held quite regularly around that area and the terrain there is just shitfuck to cross over. The idea with the event is to basically orienteer yourself from point to point until you reach the goal, and you have 24 hrs to do this. The distance to be covered is something around 55-80 km, depending on your chosen track and the "mission parameters" given at the checkpoints. Well, there are thick (!) forests, very unpleasant clearings, tall hills and a LOT of swamps. When you're about armpit deep in a freezing cold swamp, you just hope to die as quickly as possible.
      I've been to the event a few times, never reached the finish line. Varusteleka team has managed to finish at least once I think.

      I don't really know if pants would have helped. Wool pants can help you retain body heat when wet - unless you are constantly moving in the water. If the water is moving, it carries the heat away not matter what. Ripstop cotton is completely worthless at holding heat when wet. The only think that might had helped is some sort of water-proof layer and I don't think anyone was going to that extreme.

    It actually speaks to the quality of these stages that you ran into exactly the same problems any infantry soldier runs into during their training. Muzzle clear, having your rifle combat ready, the crawling and being surprised by how hard that is, several other issues you mentioned... this is a very very nice setup and really makes you hit the same problems a real infantyman run into. I remember all these issues very well :) And well done :D And I know exactly what you mean by this being rewarding. When I had my 13 week platoon leader training I didn't do as well as I wanted to in a lot of things, but it was the most rewarding 13 weeks of my life :) And I know exactly how all of this stuff feels :) Those 13 weeks were also in bavarian winter, at times below -10° C with lots of snow. You did really well for someone with zero military training. The issues ran into are so common, it really takes some experience to avoid those. You'll improve :) Great job :)

    The problem with hitting your own cover with the rifle is a problem you need to experience and adapt to. It was easier not to hit it when you use iron sights as the barrel is much closer to the sights.
    What I started to do, is to ALWAYS put my hand first at the cover and then the rifle in the hand. There you have a 1 or 2 cm height naturally that usually get the barrel over.
    If the cover have higher obstructions for the barrel, I put my forearm at the nearest edge and adjust the resting point to heighten or lower the barrel.
    EDIT: Btw, looks really fun!

    Animals are just over 20% efficient coinventing food energy to movement. Thus, in events like this one a person is generating heat energy in the realm of a space heater. The instant one stops the heat production slows and one can get teeth chattering cold really fast.

    Could you some time introduce the stage staff's device they use for apparently timing, for people who haven't been to gun matches? It's not a regular stopwatch definitely, does it have more functionality? The staff also often holds it up high behind the shooter as well, or right next to their head.

And their K/D ratio is crazy too. It's even a saying about finns, that we have something called "sisu", and they have even proven that this is a real thing, an actual gene in finnish men.
