-raises hand- I have. Many times. I'll take my drivers license, credit card, and a toothbrush.

[quote]Where did you go and how long did you stay?[/quote]

Mostly overnight trips but sometimes for the weekend (2 nights). All sorts of places. Had a girlfriend 400 miles away and made quite a few trips. And occasional camping trips, sometimes to a nudist park, sometimes to a far away beach. Then there's always the good ol' spontaneous sight seeing road trip to who knows/cares where.

I'd usually start out with shirt/shorts. But at some point the shirt would come off. Then the shorts would come off at night or even daytime if the a/c quit (shit happens). I can't go much more than 300 miles without gas so I'd at least pull shorts back on. Sometimes shirt. Just depends. I don't always travel that light but sometimes trip planning can be a pita. And many times I never use or even uppack all the crap I take with me.

I can't remember whether we ever took no clothes but many a time my wife and I took our trailer tent to the nude camping behind a country pub and came back two or three days later in the clothes we wore for the journey, having worn no others during the stay.
When we stay overnight in a hotel when fetching or returning our grandson to avoid the return journey in one day all I take is a toothbrush, a change of socks and, if the hotel has a pool, a swim tanga in case I can't get the pool to myself and skinny-dip.

I usually make a trip each summer down to Lake Como Resort in FL. I stay for about a week to 10 days. Since I fly ... packing light it the best way to go. So I just have the clothes on my back and I pair of shorts and a tshirt .... so just a back pack for me .

When I go to Cypress Cove it's usually tied in with a golf outing so I'll take 2 pairs of shorts, a golf shirt and two tshirts, a pair of gym shorts and then bathroom essentials. The golf shirt and first pair of shorts are usually dirty and sweaty after the golf outing. from there I'll wear the gym shorts and a tshirt to the resort (maybe taking off the shorts for the drive). The 2nd pair of shorts never gets worn but are a back up just in case.
On the way home, I'll wear a tshirt and gym shorts leaving the resort, go across the street, get food and gas and then the gym shorts come off for the trip home. Don't like driving without a shirt because of the seat belt across my chest. Otherwise i would be naked. So I donald duck it home.

Seat belt doesn't bother me, but since I drive a convertible, I would rather have shorts on and top off than the other way around!

[quote]We still travel pretty light, no matter where we go; nude getaways/vacations or textile ones. The lightest we've ever traveled is probably during our last several years of visits to Club Orient. We packed a backpack with essentials; toiletries, camera, tablet and a carry on with two changes of clothes and most of the other space was taken up with food! We'd take Mexican food items with us to make meals for ourselves and our friends. We'd both wear jogging suits on the plane going and coming home. I could slip off the jogging pants, top and tennis shows and be completely naked. My wife would just add a t shirt "to keep her boobs from swaying too much!" :DDD We always ended up buying some articles of clothing while on these trips; shirts, t shirts, sundresses, so we didn't need to pack much. Least amount we've ever packed was a visit to our club in the motorhome. Di wore a sundress and I wore some mesh shorts. We got out of the RV, checked in and drove to our site. We set up naked, remained naked the entire time and then departed a few days later and drove home. I was naked and Di had on a pareo/sarong. She slipped back into her sundress and I into my shorts to unload the RV. Neighbors were all out so we thought we'd get a little more dressed! :DDD[/quote] Andy, does that mean you didn't have a shirt with you for the entire trip?

Went camping for a week and left our bags on the porch! When our one set of clothes got too funky, we would rinse them in the stream and hang them on bushes until dry.
On other occasions, we sometimes go for a day trip and intentally leave all our clothes at home. Driving naked with no option to cover up is a real thrill!

Did a day visit to a clothing optional resort in the Poconos on Friday.
When I got there, I thought this would be an ideal place to come for a few days, traveling wearing only shorts and flip flops and just bring one shirt, 1 pair of sneakers and 2 or 3 pair of socks. Then I checked historical weather data and found that it often drops into the 50's there at night in the summer, so it might not be such a good idea after all!

Leaving home with only two items of material in my possession would be great. Even better would be if I could get away without bringing a shirt, but I would be in trouble if I needed a bathroom break, as there are very few places with rest rooms that do not require shirts!

I've just booked a three week trip to Gran Canaria taking only cabin baggage.
This will be a bit of a challenge as we will be travelling by train, plane and transfer bus and staying at the airport hotel before and after the trip.
Furthermore we will need clothing to dine at restaurants outside the naturist hotel.
Should be interesting.

Who has gone on an overnight or longer trip taking no clothing except what you were wearing?

If I'm traveling very far (to another state), I simply put a t-shirt and shorts on the passenger seat and drive nude. Often, when I'm driving home from almost anywhere, I'm naked before I get home.

There is a men's clothing-optional resort, [url][link]https://www.truenudists.com/location/cactus-canyon/[/link]Cactus Canyon[/url], near where I live. When I visit there, I put the t-shirt and shorts on the passenger seat, drive there nude, check-in nude, spend a day or two there nude, drive home nude, and then remain nude at home until I go some place that requires clothing. In this case, I never wore the t-shirt and shorts.

Where did you go and how long did you stay?

[url][link]https://www.truenudists.com/location/cactus-canyon/[/link]Cactus Canyon[/url]. The longest I've been there is three days and two night.

What did you wear for the trip?
Shorts and shirt?
Shorts only?
Nothing?

Nothing. Just have the t-shirt and shorts handy just in case they are needed.

If the latter 2, how did you handle stops along the way?
I have the t-shirt and shorts available. However, I'd like to make a skirt that I could wear while out of the car, then sit down in the car, close the door and then open the skirt, so I'm nude and just sitting on an additional layer of fabric -- but have the skirt there if it's needed.

I've often wondered about skinning dipping in a hotel pool -- at say, 02:00, or some other time when it was unlikely that anyone else would be there.

Hotel pool before closing time. No one else there. And the Jacuzzi. Also the hot tub and pool at mom's mobile home park. Go for it and enjoy whem you can.

I don't drive nude, but rarely wear a shirt when driving in warm weather. I have been stopped while driving shirtless on at least two occasions and noting was said about it. I fact, the second time I was talking on my cell phone (which I rarely do when driving) and didn't see the police car lights behind me until he turned on the siren. He could have ticketed me for using a cell phone while driving and/or not pulling over when he first turned on his lights (both serious traffic offences) but I was only charged with being in the passing lane without passing anyone (a relatively minor offence).

Several people have posted elsewhere recently that they have traveled with very little clothing so I am posting on this thread to make it easier for them to find.

When we go to a nudist resort I usually just bring the clothes Im wearing plus shirt, socks, and underwear for the return trip (at least when the trip involves flying somewhere). We are currently at Cypress Cove for a long weekend and to go to the Nude-a-Palooza concert. Other than the one extra set of clothes listed above, I did bring one extra pair of socks, since I did a nude run this morning. Because of Covid the main restaurant isnt open, and the bar food at Cheeks isnt what we want to spend the whole weekend eating. So we are heading off property with some nudist friends for lunch today and will probably do the same for dinner tomorrow after the concert. So I have very little clothing to work with. Im wearing the clothes I wore on the flight down, including a tee shirt from one of our nude cruises today. Luckily I was nude by lunch time yesterday so the clothes are still clean. Ill wear my return trip clothes tomorrow and hopefully not get them dirty.
