I just finished watching season 1 of Survivorman. It got me thinking. His clothes went through alot, would my *insert your brand of pants here* be able to go through that? I suppose most pants even a pair of jeans could but i don't think they'd be as comfy and helpful. Ie getting wet hard to dry, not enough pockets ect.

This may be an odd or even silly question, but in a survival situation what type of pants would you want to be wearing? In any area? Suppose you were in a forest area, you might trip, you could get caught on things, fall into a stream ect. Or else a desert area your pants will be hot(mabe heating you up aswell), scraping against rocks, cactus needles, ect. I'm sure none of you will want to take a kneel and have your pants rip after a tough long tiring day... :p

Is there any pair of pants that will work for most places except snow?

Companies that come to mind:

County Comm: diplomat's?
Ex Officio: mabe some runamucks?
Anything from REI?
More expensive: Tad Gear?

Would you want thick all cotton pants? or a mix of Nylon/Cotton thats thinner?

In forest conditions i would want my Canadian surplus pants. These pants are light, fast drying, and have a lot of features. And yes these pants are cotton but there made of a military cotton so they try FAST!
 
I have some surplus pants (Australian, I believe) that are a mid-weight wool. Have one big cargo pocket. I cut them off and they are now plus 4s. All I need to pack are extra socks.

Mountain Hardwear makes a kilt...
