Hike Naked Day!
Happy Summer Solstice everyone!
Anyone ever hike naked to mark the occasion? Any stories? Tales that involve alcohol are especially encouraged!
Tentative thru-hike start date: St. Patrick's Day, 2011. Top of the mornin' to you!
I admit nothing, I deny everything and I demand proof.

The world is thankful that in MY case, it didn't happen and there are no pics.
I don't understand the fascination with hiking naked. BYOB. (bare your own butt)
enemy of unnecessary but innovative trail invention gadgetry
Following the tradition established by Colin Fletcher. Theoretically. He spoke of it in his books. I don't recall if there was any photographic evidence.Originally Posted by Malto

It's a thing from FKK (Freikörperkultur), the German naturist movement. They've got quite a network of very well-managed trails for Nacktwanderung (naturist hiking). The big discussion there is between hiking with sandals vs. hiking barefoot (i.e. completely naked).
next sticker idea?

Horrible idea. I would guess that only 5% or less of our society looks good without clothes on.
And 75% plus of Americans should never, ever go without clothing.
We are the fat a$$es of the world.
Isn't that the same day as "Feed a tick" day?
Much different dynamic in a world where just about everybody you encounter is probably going to have a camera in their pocket. 15 years ago that wasn't the case. One aspect of having a trail name is the ability to remain anonymous. Its harder to do that in a world where everyone has a camera and a cell phone to exchange photos...just giving away your phone number to another hiker compromises that anonymity. Walk naked these days and your photo will follow you up and down the trail for the rest of your hike, and possibly for the rest of your life.
Interesting that you think it's all about and only about "looks." Says a lot about Americans and the fixation on physicality and judging and body-shaming people that way.

Yes, if someone is naked, it is 100% all about looks.
I don't care if someone is fat or skinny. It is his/her own decision to make.
Personally, I don't care for the fatties. Just my opinion and it should matter to no one else.
Totally agree. And I think if you asked most nudists they would tell you that there is nothing sexual about what they are doing. They don't do it out of a sense of voyeurism or exhibitionism. They do it for the freedom and comfort of it. They don't do it because they want to see people naked or because they want others to see them naked. And very few people look like models. That's why they are models. I don't know why its any more or less offensive to see someone overweight with clothes or without. People come in all shapes and sizes. What difference does it make if you see a piece of fabric or a person's skin?
Potentially a big difference, because, we are sexual beings, and we respond to sexual stimuli which includes visual shapes and textures. So yes, it does make a difference, to many of us, a big difference. BUT, that doesn't mean we should let our visceral responses rule our actions and behaviors in negative ways. And, it doesn't mean we should outlaw behaviors just because push our comfort limits.
Who doesn't like the look and smell of delicious baked goods, but, that doesn't mean we should outlaw their display, and it doesn't mean it is okay to eat them inappropriately or glutinously whenever we see or smell them.
Be free. Hike naked. Enjoy the experience of meeting naked hikers. If you are uncomfortable with being naked or seeing other naked hikers, plan accordingly to avoid potential unpleasant experiences.
I'm not lost. I'm exploring.
Sure, hike naked---other than being put on an offender watch list (gotcha culture), have fun going thru these appendage-removers---As seen on my most recent June 2017 backpacking trip---

This Emasculator was found on the Pine Ridge trail in the Citico wilderness TN.

This wonderful Butt Reamer was found on the Big Stack Gap trail on the Slickrock side.

And who doesn't enjoy an over-trunk session with this Perineum Impaler??? (On the Fodderstack Ridge trail).

I know you meant gluttonously but that gives me a horrible mental picture of someone hunched over food with both hands squirting slobbering gluey substances dripping from their fingers. While naked.
In Southern MD. there is a nudist colony or camp. I went by the road with a sign NUDIST COLONY my friend male and i decided to turn in to the road and check it out. We went about 100yards and looked at each other laughed and turned around and left.
Another time on Cape Cod the road guard told me and family this is a free beach. My first thought was financial but everyone was nude. Educational at best. Interesting segregation on the beach co-ed, all male, all female. families.
