This sounds like a story I wanna hear.
And D, for your *actual* question, "denim" is actually the right answer - but I specifically recommend Carhartt's. They actually have extra layers of denim around the butt, knees, and thighs - high points of contact with the mofo blackberry bushes. Check em out, they are sturdy as fuck and last forever.
| Those brown pants I wore during our meetup are Carhartt's, and berry thorns don't punch through them at all. When I walk around with them on, my legs feel invulnerable. I've even worn them while messing around on a slanted rock climbing wall one night, and when I would mess up near the top, I would drop on my side and slide back to the ground, letting those pants take all the friction (I wasn't using ropes, just trying to walk up the steep, rough wall to the top). I did that several times (I must have looked silly as fuck, but luckily I don't think anyone was around). The pants look a bit scuffed, but never ripped through and I never felt them getting warm from all the rubbing. I just wish I could find a top as durable; the Carhartt sweatshirt I have is good and thick but it's not canvas, and I have been poked through it occasionally.

Desperate times, and desperate measures, dear. I'm a native Texan and you rarely catch me in less than boots and jeans when I'm trudging to an abandonment. Thorns suck, snakes suck, chiggers suck, fleas suck, etc. I'd rather be mildly uncomfortable for an hour or two than days or weeks of uncomfortable
| Seconded, although I'm in New Mexico.
| I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread. |
