Hike Naked Day
Hike Naked Day is June 20th this year. How many plan to? Any one been arrested or hasseled on the trail in past years?
When I home nekkid I can't get the women to leave me alone...
Its hard to take the feathers off....harder to put them back on...
There was an Old Man with a owl,
Who continued to bother and howl;
He sat on a rail, And imbibed bitter ale,
Which refreshed that Old Man and his owl. . WOO <Audio
Kayaker, this is your chance. You could be the first to hike the entire AT completely naked. Think of the weight savings possibilities. Think of the fact that whole shelters could be yours, when you show up in your baby suit. Think of the sunscreen and body lotion endorsements. And in every Trail Town a soft bed and bedclothes since you'd be in the slammer every time for indecent exposure. The book possibilities...this is your chance!!!! Go For it. Rename yourself...Buffman...buckaroo...whatever...serious ly get out comfort zone and go for it.
Realistically speaking How naked can a fully loaded hiker be ?
When I spent two days in Grand Canyon hiking in honor of the late Colin Fletcher
I was wearing
1 pair of boots
2 pairs of sox
1 Kelty Tioga
1 Pr leather work gloves-there be some sharp things down there
1 watch
1 boonies style hat
1 pr of wrap around sunglasses
Was I really naked ?
Seems the Grand Canyon begs to shed clothes. I was coming back up on Hermit Trail and decided to slip off the shorts and shirt and stick them behind my sleeping bag (OMG, yes a sleeping bag on the outside of the pack).
After some time exposed to the sun and knowing I was approaching a trail junction, I reached behind me to retrieve them. Of course the shorts where gone.
Luckily, only abut a quarter of a mile back track to recover them. And no sooner had I gotten dressed than a couple approached from the opposite direction. They had no idea why I was laughing for no apparent reason.
I'm more careful now where I leave my shorts.
Hate Is Not A Family Value
A bad as the mosquitoes and ticks are this year? No thanks.

"Seems the Grand Canyon begs to shed clothes."
I was at the western end of the Tonto Trail doing a no -walls hike ala Fletcher and I remembered from his book The Man That Walked Through Time that he was in the same area when he decided to hike naked...so I decided to pay tribute to the spiritual grandfather of my generation of hikers

No doubt, my trail name would become "tripod".
more like 'light switch"
If God had intended folks to run around nekked He wouldn't have created them with clothes. I'm gonna have my camera ready!
way too heavy you should have went with the ultra light version,you can get on at rei....on sale.not an option?try viagra you will have some place to dry your clothes while hiking.if you have a clothes line for more than 4 hours better call a doctor.
I'd rather call a nurse.
I'm not really a hiker, I just play one on White Blaze.
My wife has asked for clarification on that 4 hour thing...which one needs the doctor?
I think they say that in the commercial so some guys say to themselves, 'Hmmm, I better try that."
I'm not really a hiker, I just play one on White Blaze.
i think your nurse needed the dr........lol
Being naked is fun - I often swim naked - - I dislike the fact that it is often sexualized - western hot springs (Colorado, Wyoming, Idahao, Oregon, Washington, etc.) are much more accepting - - actually hiking naked isn't as convenient for me as skinny dipping - which I think is almost always appropriate in the woods.
i agree... skinny dipping is both more modest and way more socially acceptable. every time i get to skinny dip on the trail i feel like one awfully lucky old man.
