Thought you all might chuckle at the post I saw on a paddling form (kayaking and canoeing).
"Portage etiquette
Proper portage etiquette must be rewritten to define rules of right-of-way for nude encounters.
I suggest that on meeting a nude canoeist of the opposite sex, then the clothed canoeist would be required to yield the trail (whether carrying canoe or pack), look back, and watch the stride.
Usual rules of encounter would apply for meetings of the same sex clothed or unclothed."

GSNPhilMay 31, 2025Nice to know there are enough of us out there for someone to notice. But I'd think right of way rules are complicated enough already. Maybe adding a simple "Howdy!" wouldn't be too much.

gabareJul 15, 2025well haven't had that encounter with my canoe yet but I imagine the textile portal is going to stop and allow the nudist to pass as they will be shocked by you being nude . again I haven't experience this with my canoe but did experience this while hiking nude down a rode and a dozen textiles on mountain bikes almost ran me over , not out of meanness or disrespect but they were pedaling fast. as I jumped to the side all I could hear was laughing and "he's nude " . in any situation when nude act like it's normal don't apologize
