Gosh, it's good to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave!

This seems to be a scenario you like repeating.Originally Posted by The Weasel
No, but those who keep saying, "What's the harm?" about nudism in a fairly high-population trail (the AT isn't like being in Alaska, folks) seem to want to skip over the concept of how it's inappropriate in shelters (which is where this topic began) or when a group of teens appears (as an early post remarked on).This seems to be a scenario you like repeating.

Well, Rain, as I've invited people twice before, you just tell me when you're gonna head for that camp up in the woods so we can strip down while you act all indecent. If you've got lotsa money, I'll even give you my phone number.
So you let it all hang "free" and show me how "brave" you are. I'll be "brave" for you.

Now isn't that sweet.
And don't be sportin' a woody when you do it.
That's bad manners.
No that would be the last straw, so to speak.And don't be sportin' a woody when you do it.
Whoooooooosh!
Yup, that was truly one of the more humorous & witty posts this week from The Weasel. Glad to see he's got his undies un-bunched a bit.Whoooooooosh!
You COUNTED how many times he posted in the last seven days?!?! Whatever for?
Frosty
I didn't actually count the posts, I counted the PAGES. Seven times 25 is 175. I think it took 20-30 seconds total, but I double checked it

To let him know that he was on tilt.

Statistics would be more useful in this instance. If you graphed people's behavior, you would get a distribution with two very long tails and a big lump in the middle. The big lump in the middle needs to learn to be more tolerant of the tails.
Why? Because: People generally do the best they can under the circumstances in which they find themselves. Thank goodness this guy has found an outlet for his primal need to be clothesless and isn't flashing little girls and old ladies in the grocery store. Or worse. He's going for a walk out in nature au naturel. Google reveals that he is far from the only one who enjoys this.
Perhaps we do need clothing-optional trails, just as there are clothing-optional beaches. That way it wouldn't surprise people to see a nude hiker coming down the trail.
fyi statistics are vital to sociaology as well as psychology. they are one in the same.
clothing optional trails with warning signs are a great idea. however we dont have them and people need to understand that according to the current norms in our society it is unacceptable to walk in a public area naked and should be ready to accept the consequences, and or retaliation.
How did I miss this thread? Oh I know, I was on the trail hiking. I see all the usual suspects are here bemoaning nudity.
Being ashamed of the naked human body, is a shame. What's a little genitalia? Everyone has it and it mostly looks the same.
You obviously haven't hiked in VT. It's like friggin Amsterdam on the trail.
Again, all dudes, usually old, wrinkled and creepy.
good. so we'll see you parading your naked ass around the NOC in a coupla weeks then?
"Naturalist" to me connotes someone who studies nature, not a nudist! Charles Darwin and Audobon were naturalists.
Here's the thing-- even if it doesn't bother someone to go naked in front of other people, you have to know that other people might be bothered by it. So why do it? Have some common sense and don't do it.
Speak for yourself.
