I'm doing all this camping, out in the Arizona desert. I'm in a travel trailer on BLM land. I actually live full time in this trailer. I just tow it around the country. I do all my work online. Right now, there is no else around for at least a mile in radius. This location is well away from where snowbirds tend to camp. I'm not even sure this place is even known by other RVers as a long term camping destination. I found it just by studying the BLM maps and Google Satellite maps. My wife expects to be gone for about 4 weeks traveling to visit friends and relatives. She enjoys nudity also, but doesn't do so often.
Temperature yesterday when I started this, 56/30F. Today's high was 60F, and the low is expected to be 34F. It's been breezy too, and it's just too cold to go outside nude for any considerable length of time. Later this week it's supposed to rise up to the 70s. I hope to go out for a little walk then.
Otherwise, the longest I've ever gone nude was 7 days, and that was also camping. I plan to post daily updates on this thread.

Lakeman221Feb 6, 2020I suppose you stocked up ahead of time on provisions, groceries and stuff to last that long, right? Are the propane tanks full enough to last that long, running heat, too? Good luck with your quest, hope you can hold out to make your goal.

Tom DFeb 6, 2020Did you bring enough food?
What will you be doing to keep occupied?
What is your longest prior time continuously naked?ReactReply - STSteveOriginal PosterFeb 6, 2020[quote]Did you bring enough food?What will you be doing to keep occupied?What is your longest prior time continuously naked?[/quote]
I do have plenty of food and drink, whether it is "enough" I wont' really know until I get to that point. What I do to keep myself occupied is my work, which is building and managing websites. I get decent to good 4G signal where I am mostly because this area of the desert is a large valley with little to obstruct cell tower connection. The longest previous time I went nude was 7 days.ReactReply - STSteveOriginal PosterFeb 6, 2020[quote]I suppose you stocked up ahead of time on provisions, groceries and stuff to last that long, right?

I have the furnace that comes built into the trailer, but don't really use it much because it's a gas hog. I have a radiant heater that I prefer because I can direct it at me, and it just sips propane. I have a Buddy Heater too with a few propane bottles to go with it. I have an electric space heater, and I have a generator to run that. I have solar panels on the roof feeding two 6 volt batteries. I also have a 100 gallon water tank, and i think enough sewage capacity to last me a month.ReactReply

noodengr2Feb 6, 2020Sounds like a worthy goal. I would like to go a week nude but not feel like a hermit to it. Current record is about 3 days. I have done two days several times. Sometimes with company coming and going. Good luck with your goal. Keep us posted.

Did you bring any clothing with you other than what you wore to drive there?
ReactReply - STSteveOriginal PosterFeb 6, 2020[quote]Did you bring any clothing with you other than what you wore to drive there?[/quote] Yes, I have clothing here. I live in this trailer full time, so it has all of my belongings, and I don't keep much.ReactReply
- STSteveOriginal PosterFeb 6, 2020[quote]I don't understand home nudity even less this. Due to the climate choosing to be cooped up naked when you could be outside clothed in nature.[/quote] I can understand your point of view, but remember that my camper "is" my home. I tow it around the country and live on federal lands. Weather says it will be 70s this weekend, so I hope to get out and do some nude hiking.ReactReply

Good luck, sounds like fun. Myself I would like to have some friends nearby. I use a hose to connect my buddy heater to a 20pd cylinder due to cost of the small ones. It's great that you have some work that you do and have a cell signal.

I have 3 pairs of pants, 3 pairs of shorts, and maybe 20 t-shirts. I have a pair of sandals and a pair of hiking boots. I do have a jacket and a sweater for cold outings. I don't know if that's a small set of clothes, or average or what.ReactReply
- STSteveOriginal PosterFeb 7, 2020[strong]Day 2[/strong] - Weather was warmer today, high of 65F, compared to 60F yesterday. But what helped is that the cold breeze stopped today. So, I was able to get out and do some walking around.
I did about 2 miles walking, all nude of course aside from a pair of sandals. I wasn't expecting to go out walking today, but I noticed the breeze stopped, and the sun felt pretty good. My truck and trailer is about 1 mile from the road (paved road), so I walked out there to determine how visible my campsite is. It turns out you can still barely see it, but anyone driving down the road would have to know to look in that direction to see it. It still affords "some" privacy. There's hardly anyone that drives along this road, however.
Attached photo shows me standing naked on the road.
Tomorrow is supposed to warm up even more. Assuming I have no other pressing website work to do, I should put on my hiking boots and go out for a more extended hike. Does wearing socks and hiking boots still constitute being "naked"? There's no one else around for at least 5 miles in radius. I still need to take my cellphone with me just so that I can find my way back via Google Maps. I have my campsite pinned on the map.ReactReply - TDTom DFeb 7, 2020[quote]Did you bring any clothing with you other than what you wore to drive there?Yes, I have clothing here.

Only a few below 20, so you are on the low end. One with no clothing but he has a partner about his size who lets him borrow something when he needs to. Why so many more shirts than pants and shorts combined?ReactReply

I know it doesn't make sense, it's just what I do. I think I tend to tolerate dirty jeans more than I do dirty t-shirts.ReactReply

Reuben TitusFeb 7, 2020A great many people have spent their entire lives completely naked. But that's in tribes who live that way and don't even have clothing. (although many of those tribes have been modernized into the fabric age in the last 150-200 years) So living void of fabric is an old fashioned primitive lifestyle. Just rare in our times and so becomes unique.
My life situation doesn't lend itself to full time nude living, I would if it did. I work outside pretty much full time so winter demands clothing to keep warm. In summer working in agriculture I could possibly spend 80-90% of the time naked, with maybe 80% of the non naked time in nothin more than loose floppy shorts, the only fully clothed time being what's needed to attend church and an occasional trip to town. My loose baggy shorts are just the cheap cotton/polyester gray shorts I find at the discount clothing stores for, usually $5. Get em oversize and then cut the legs off shorter to make em short shorts, with just enough inseam to tie the middle together. They end up more like a short kilt with under tie to keep em from flying up too easily. Just enough to make the non naturist feel comfortable in my presence.ReactReply - STSteveOriginal PosterFeb 7, 2020[quote]My loose baggy shorts are just the cheap cotton/polyester gray shorts I find at the discount clothing stores for, usually $5.

OllyFeb 7, 2020It is a worthy goal - 30 days naked. Do keep us posted.
I notice your previous maximum was 7 days. I have done that in some European resorts. Examples are Cap d'Agde in France and Vera Playa in Spain. It is possible to be naked in these places for the entire duration of my/your stay, including eating, drinking, socialising and walking the streets naked. In Cap d'Agde the nude activity extends to shopping for all the shopping needs and clubbing. When visiting these (and some other) places I've only stayed for a week - stripping as I drove out of the airport on arrival and getting dressed only when returning the hire car a week later.

- STSteveOriginal PosterFeb 8, 2020[strong]Day 3[/strong] - Weather was warmer again today, up to 70F. No breeze, so it made for a warm day. I took a longer hike this afternoon, and decided to put on my hiking boots, but otherwise was still nude. Walked about two miles in a different direction from yesterday, just walking across the desert, over rocks, in between plants. I was mostly walking over terrain with no other evidence of other hikers or campers. The dirt and gravel seemed pristine, untouched, though now it has my footprints. All in all, it was four miles round trip, and felt good to get out.
I'm glad I took my cellphone with me because I lost my sense of direction. That is, when I thought I was heading back to my trailer, I was actually heading in a different direction. I remember to mark my trailer's location on Google Maps, and thus I could always see where I was in relation, and I get very good 4G service out here. But, I opted to try avoid looking at my cellphone just to see how well my sense of direction was. I guess, in the desert you can still get pretty disoriented.
Still no one else around out here.
Lot's of flowers starting to bloom right now, mostly these white ones, not sure what they are called. See attached photo.
Tomorrow is supposed to a little bit more warm, so looking good.ReactReply - PTPhil TurnerFeb 8, 2020
Any full time nudist resort residents here?

JohnFeb 8, 2020Good luck with your attempt. I suspect you will either fail or be so comfortable with it that it ends up extended to 40 or 50 days.
The best I have managed is 13 and 14 days respectively on holiday at Euronat resort in France - a location with it's own shops and restaurants so you never need to dress until you leave the site (and not always then).ReactReply - STSteveOriginal PosterFeb 8, 2020[quote]Any full time nudist resort residents here?[/quote]No, I am camping on BLM land, and right now there is no one else around within viewing distance.ReactReply
