Re: [at-l] Hospital Scrubs and Hiking

["W F Thorneloe, MD" <thornel@ibm.net>]

Shirt only. These dry quickly and are light. The pants are not so useful. A 
draw string belt is okay if you are using them for jammies or standing 
around an OR table a good part of the day. The legs are loose, and would 
flop around and catch brambles. I am certain they would still cause chafing 
(see prior posts on this intimate subject).

The only problem with wearing scrubs - they identify you with where you 
work. In the woods, I don't like to be a doctor, but just another clueless 
guy with a strange name (not that I'm that different in the real world). On 
my recent hike, only Bristlecone blew my cover.
