P.S. Tick bites itch. Bad. Y'all can figure out the rest of your own.

Ticks will get in your butt with or without jocks.

I don't think I've ever got a tick on my you-know-whats, but for the last few years, I've worn permethrin-treated clothing.
I'm seldom tempted to go commando. I'd be more tempted to expose my compression shorts. They don't chafe and they wick. They'd be a lot more comfortable by themselves than my hiking shorts would be!
A fifteen-year-old should be able to maintain his own equipment.
On going commando: I recall being on the University of Illinois campus in the 1980s, wearing cycling shorts (it's crazy to wear anything underneath those, they're chamois-llned for a reason) because I was either just heading out for a ride or just returning from one. One of the local street-corner preachers spotted me mid-rant, and latched onto me as one of those eeeevil ho-mo-sexuals! (Huh?) He held me up as a bad example for the next few minutes of sermon. I think there was something about my figure in cycling shorts in those days that caught his attention and roused puzzling and conflicted emotions.
On why not to go commando: I once had the seat of my hiking shorts blow out, climbing the ladders on Slide Mountain, right in front of John Burroughs's great-granddaughter. She was much too much of a lady to let on that she'd noticed. But I had black compression shorts on underneath, so stayed reasonably modest.
On going about outdoors in undies: TOS has at least one picture of me in my underwear (plus tuque and boots). If memory serves, I was just about to head outside, dressed as I was, to brush my teeth and drain my kidneys, when Teacher surprised me by flashing a picture. I think in the picture I'm putting toothpaste on a brush. with a mug of water on the bunk next to me.
Side remark, tangentially related: I remember a thread on TOS once about mooning the Cog. I said that I'd be tempted, if I ever did Mt Washington again, to appliqué a large crescent moon on the seat of my baselayer, so that I could present my fundament to the train, lower my trousers, and expose only my contempt.I'm not lost. I know where I am. I'm right here. -
