Nude? Like nude nude? No boots or anything? That seems eminently impractical.

Not that there's anything wrong with nudity, or with hiking for that matter, but this just makes no sense at all. I mean, I like pickles, and I like hot fudge. That doesn't mean the two go together.

who gives a crap? no one wants to see the dangly bits go from side to side :shock:

I do.

Dear Sirs,

Allow me to laugh long, hard and turgidly at your pathetic excuse for an outdoors activity. For decades now our proud organisation has striven to push forwards the boundaries of human achievement, and we scoff at those so lightweight as to think naked hiking worthy of any kind of note whatsoever. The minor dangers of scuffed feet, genital sunburn and stepping in dog turds are as nothing before our own sky-clad exploits - naked mountaineering (http://invisionfree.com/forums/CACE/index.php?showtopic=1237), naked bungee-jumping, naked crocodile-wrestling, naked running through nunneries with bits on fire.

We urge you to reject the path of namby-pamby complacent conventional nude sports, and take up the XTREME CHALLENGE of manly, thrill-seeking, ridiculously dangerous nude sports.

Yours in friendship,

*Goes off in search of a better analogy.*Er, boots are not a problem as are socks, hats or packs - in fact all are recomended. The major problem with this event (not a pseudo-holiday, just an event like trail-day) is that a fair number of the people who participate should remain clothed as much as possible (although kmost are pretty fit). I myself fear that my rather hirsuite and large form would be mistaken for a bear if I were to participate but I have known a few individuals who have done so, and it is kinda different to come accross a nude person in the middle of the woods while hiking. I recomend if you chose to participate to chose a less well traveled by children trail as some parents may be offended by your exposing their children to your nude form (simple politeness).

I think everyone should be allowed to be nude all the time unless the weather doesnt permit. It would stop people from being so stupid about our natural state of being. clothes are the real perversion here. especially suits! yuck!

I think everyone should be allowed to be nude all the time unless the weather doesnt permit. It would stop people from being so stupid about our natural state of being. clothes are the real perversion here. especially suits! yuck!I assume you are talking about women's suits, since the men's suit is about the most perfect garmet ever created. AH the men's suit, just about every man looks good in one. A well tailored suit will lst for years. Light summer weight suits for the hotter months and the classic three season for fall and winter, throw on a sweater and it's good for winter. Pockets sufficent for all you might need, it can serve as a veritable backpack (and don't forget to keep and extra twenty in the hankerchief pocket for emergencies. A men's suit will stay fashionable for years (unless you buy some bleeding edge fashion), and is well enough constructed to survive more than few alterations as your body changes. A good suit can go from day to evening with no problem, having a chameleon-like ability to fit into a variety of social enviroments.

Sorry for hijacking your thread on naked hiking for a paen to the men's suit, but I just get emotional about the issue.

As for nudity and weather, should it likewise be permitted regardless of the weather and individuals be allowed to decide if they need clothing?

If I understand you correctly, I believe that anyone should be able to be nude whenever and wherever they want.

Whats the big deal about seeing someones penis or vaginer? Who cares about boobs except the people who arent allowed to see these things because they are taboo??

oh an no I was talking about mens suits. I think they are ugly and uncomfortable to wear.

Fascinating. I'll try to avoid the trails that week.

Squi, what is wrong with women's suits as oppsed to those for men?

I'd hate to fall down or anything... and the creepy crawlies... * shudders just thinking about it *

All of you who wish to take part, enjoy yourselves. As for me, parts of me would be sunburned that never have been or should be sunburned.

oh an no I was talking about mens suits. I think they are ugly and uncomfortable to wear.Ugly and uncomfortable? What do you wear, polyester off the rack Sear's remainders? If you cannot manage to make it to Brook's Brothers for the classic you should go to a decent men's shop and have a suit tailored to you. You don't have to have one bespoken unless you have a truely unusual frame, but simple aterations will work wonders - you shouldn't even considering buying a suit that doesn't require alterations. I imagine if you have only had experience with poorly fitting suits you might think suits to be uncomfortable, but that it certainly not the fault of suits that you had an incompetent tailor.

As for Ugly, that is just absurd. Whatever faults your body has a good suit will conceal them. Ask any woman or gay man about how a suit makes a man look. A suit gives a man that nice broad shouldered, narrow hipped, upside down triangular shape that seems to be hardwired into human sexuality as the attractive male body. Pipestem legs, pot belly, narrow shoulders - have no fear just pick the right suit and you'll look marvelous.

Squi, what is wrong with women's suits as oppsed to those for men?I have no idea not having worn them myself. But since I could not believe G*ds Bowels was refering to that sartorial masterpiece, the men's suit, I had to assume he was refering to women's suits which I have so little experience with, and none direct. My understanding and observations have lead me to believe that fashion plays a part in women's suits and a woman can expect no more than two years wear out of one before it becomes unfashionable. I have heard that women's suits in general are constucted to a much lower standard to reflect the fact that apparently women do not expect to get hundrds of wearings out of a suit (I have even seen some which are unlined ::shudder::). But I really cannot say that there is anything wrong with women's suits, I haven't the experience to give an informed opinion.

its not absurd to hate suits.... i especially hate ties.

its not absurd to hate suits.... i especially hate ties.Well ties I can understand. Without care and a good shirt underneth them they can be a real bother. I sugest going half a neck size large in the shirt and make sure it's a broadcloth shirt, no starch and remove the collar stays - combine this with a silk tie and most of the discomfort should disapear. If you are not used to wearing a tie a tie tack or tie clip may help if you find the tie flapping all over, but with a little practice you get used to dealing with it.

Why do you want to limit me to ONE DAY??? :D

Why do you want to limit me to ONE DAY??? :DNo the idea is one day when EVERYONE hikes naked, not just one day when someone can hike naked.

LOL... also a warning for the rest of us to stay off the trails, I think. :D

Congratulations! You have passed your pregnancy test!

I like the ever sensible approach of the Brits, "Cassandra Tebb, of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, said: "We do have guidelines for walking in the countryside such as suitable footwear and sunscreen in hot weather.

"However, we do recommend clothing be worn as there are some nasty brambles and nettles, but having said that, rights of way are managed for everyone to enjoy."

The downside is that this year it's on a Monday and I'll be camping on the 19th & 20th. Not a good start to my summer I guess but then again, that brambles and nettles part is worthy of due consideration.

I can't disagree but your passion suggest a possible relationship to the Trumans of Missouri.

Does anyone know when Bathe Clothed or Have Sex Clothed day is?

I can understand how the former is possible but the latter?? Eeeww.

Well, context helps. Usually have sex clothed is at it's best in a public place while trying to sneak one in - pardon the double entendre.

SHL

I can understand how the former is possible but the latter?? Eeeww.What, sex is completely possible without removing any clothing depending upon the clothing worn (do not attempt fully clothed sex with a woman wearing overalls). I must caution against possible friction burns in uncomfortable places if at least one of the parties involved doesn't remove their underwear.

Right... I'm sorry I asked :shock:

hmm. i would, but i'm taking my license test. and i can't do that naked.

or maybe i should. maybe i'd get an automatic pass if the instructor is a guy.

there are no hiking licenses anywhere!Now I'm reealllly confused. Why does taking you driving test mean you cannot go for a naked hike? And why would you're instructor give you an automatic pass if you went naked hiking? Do they give the driving test on hiking trails, so he'd see you hiking? That doesn't sound like a very good idea, having people take driving tests on hiking trails. I'm sooo confussed.

no. i don't have time on monday anyway, but a driver's test takes up more of my time because the dmv is far away. so no hiking. and i was kidding about going naked DRIVING, not hiking. on roads.

LOL - I think he means he will be too busy to go hiking that day, because of this test he'll be taking.

WHY DO PEOPLE ASSUME I'M A GUY?

LOL - I think he means he will be too busy to go hiking that day, because of this test he'll be taking.

WHY DO PEOPLE ASSUME I'M A GUY?I think it's because Unfree is a homosexual and said if you were nude and the instructor was a guy you would get a automatic pass. I don't know, I assumed from that you were female and heterosexuality was a given.

:shock:

Sorry, um... I get irritated when people assume I'm male and then I go and do it to other people.

:P

Cool! I'll ride my bike nakies

While I'm a big fan of casual nudity, one of things that makes running around naked so much fun is that it's NOT the norm. If everyone were naked, nobody would laugh, shudder, choke on their cola and/or stare when I ran by. :?
