I like gathering..seeking more like.. seasonal mushrooms, which for the most is off trail. Sometimes I get the urge to move more like the wind in the woods and my ankles took a beating.
I bought a pair of knee high moccasins that have worked well, although they're a bit slick on dry leaves/slopes of course.
Budi love being able to feel the earth beneath my feet with mocs on...trails in the dark of night sensing the hump/divvy whatever present is kinda heady stuff.
I just did a 5.5 mile hike along a local river, in N Idaho. 4.5 miles was in the nude. I use a back pack to carry my stuff and it hangs down far enough in the back to cover my buns. If I see someone coming (which I did not, today) I just stop and turn around and slip on my shorts. When I told my wife she said that that was quite risky and that it was no fair because I was getting ahead on the tan. LOL It looks like a great weather weekend coming up so we will head for Sun Meadow and get some good outdoor naked time and some good skinny-dipping time. YIIIPPPEEEE!!!
Naked hiking has to be one of the most pleasant activities to engage in. No clothes, the air all around you, the weather is a tactile presence as you rise and fall with the hills and valleys. Your awareness of nature, our environment, our little piece of space, is so heightened by hiking naked through mountains and forests and experiencing the wind and sun all over, as the day waxes and wanes all around us. Textiles have no idea what they're missing. Try it today, or maybe this year for the first time: https://www.naktiv.net/newt :-)Rich.
Absolutely my passion, ongoing
Just went out today at Knobs park in KY, If there is anyone on the Louisville/Ft.Knox are that knows of better, safer trails please let me know. I am going to be here for the next 2 months and would like to get out more. Todays hike was nice about 2 Miles total solitude, even got to lay out in the sun for about an hour and a half. I started of with shorts and a t-shirt but when the shirt was soaked I decided to go au-naturel, very exhilerating and freeing of ones worries (other than running into other hikers).
I love this when I get the chance, ie when its warm enough, mostly do this at some CO coast I know but would love to do some more hiking at the coast or in woods, forests etc, does anyone know anywhere or want to come with me sometime in the uk?
Bugs have seasons. Black flies, May, Mosquitos, June, Deer and Horse flies over water and June July. So August is relatively bug free here in Ontario. Also, I was out already just about every second week and have not really been bothered at all and that's with no repellant. Some people make a big deal out of a few flying insects and/or ticks but I would gladly pay the price for the wonderful freedom of hiking nude. Go for it, worry about bugs later!
Naked hiking is something I've been wanting to try but I'm not sure where I could get away with it. I live in Northeast PA about 15 minutes from the Appalachian Trail. I've also noticed there are a lot of "State Game Lands" nearby along Blue Mountain & in the Poconos. The question is are there any trails nearby where it's remote enough.
Had a worderful naked bike ride for 3 hrs on a rail trail. Because of the heat I didn't see another biker. I stopped and got some sun on a bench. I could see up an down the trail for almost 1/2 mi each way most of the time and not worried on this remote portion. Did about 22 miles of the trail.
