Torn Camping Clothes?

[camping]

My friends and I often carve out our own path when it comes to camping and in the process, go through some very dense wilderness.

Often-times, in spite of wearing camping clothes, we often end-up tearing them by getting them stuck in the bushes.
My question is, are there any specific clothes, which would last longer and not get torn off under such circumstances?

Yes definitely, thicker materials without any fine threads that can get caught on things are usually better. Although depending on the weather that might not be a compromise you want to make. Materials like denim and khaki are pretty good for pants. Depending on where you are trekking you might want long pants or at least high socks to protect your legs. Also when it comes to fit, well fitted is usually better than baggy.

That's what I do is wearing tight fitting clothes that I can still move around in. Then some taller boots so my pants tuck in to them. Duct tape? That's what snowboarders do at least lol.

I have tried khaki with the same result that is getting torn but I guess I will move on to denims from now on, if they can last longer.

Yes, that is another thing which I need to change because due to the pockets in the clothes, my clothes are often baggy and I would try to change them to fitting ones from now on, to ensure that they don't get caught up that easily.

There is also another fabric that a lot of work clothes is made out of... All that's coming to mind is cotton duck which is like canvas. I think it's either the same or similar. It seems pretty sturdy though I've never personally owned anything like it.

Back in the late 70's and early 80's, I had a couple of brothers in the military. They would give me their old pants, fatigues I think they were called. They were loose fitting and very durable. I could run through a briar patch and not tear the pants. I think they were cotton. Of course that was a fewwww years ago I could be a little mistaken.

Oh good idea! Military surplus stores. Heck I might even do that myself. I can alter a pair.
