I spent most of the weekend on a remote property we own. For most of that time, I can say that I wasn't sure exactly where my clothes were. They just weren't on my body. I did the usual nude hiking and yard work, but I also added two new activities to my list of things done naked.--target shooting and splitting wood. I did concede clothing for weed whacking. These were true weeds and weed trees, not grass. Having stickers or woody parts flung at high speed toward my bare private parts is not something I was going to brave.

Tom DJul 31, 2022Did you bring any clothes besides what you wore to get there?

nkhikerOriginal PosterAug 1, 2022I did, unfortunately. It's Wyoming, and the weather can be unpredictable. I also can I find myself doing things like fixing barbed wire fences, which is best done with jeans and a heavy shirt. However, other than taking out my toothbrush and related items, I didn't touch anything in my bag. I also have a great outdoor solar shower there.

Tom DAug 1, 2022Someone else on this board has noted that his home is clothing optional and on a few occasions he has had overnight guests walk in nude carrying only car keys and their toiletries case. In retrospect, you could have done the same, but I understand your concerns about tasks that should not be done nude and unpredictable weather.

One of the top requirements for me will be the ability to socialize and work outside the house naked. This afternoon I was sitting naked, reading a book in the sun in the little private area we made in the backyard. I had been pruning, and while I was sitting there, I saw more branches I wanted to cut in the backyard. My wife came out to tell me something. When she was done, I told her, "You know what bugs me. I can't go get the pruners and cut those branches." "Why not?" "Because I'm naked." "Well, put your shorts on." She missed the point.ReactReply - CO
Cougar01Aug 2, 2022Pretty much anything that needs to be done around the house, inside or outside (the back yard for now, at least) can and should be done in the nude. As long as it doesn't involve sharp, rotating tools or inherently unsafe acts you wouldn't do fully clothed. I do all my house cleaning, painting, gardening and laundry naked and now am starting to work in the garage on small projects in the buff.

It's amazing how it brings me so close to nature - and how grateful I am for protective clothing against thorns and flying embers. There's a difference between being a naturalist and a naturist, and sometimes for practical and safety reasons that line is best not crossed.ReactReply - PA

The second thing I have once done a drive and a countryside walk with no cloths with me at all which was fun.ReactReply - MEMemberAug 4, 2022
Just last week I went on a hike in the nude. I drove up there nude and got out and started down the trail. It was in the woods and it was a winding trail. Never came up on anyone with the walk in or out. The only thing I saw was a squirrel, it didn't seem to mind me being just like it with nothing covering me.

nkhikerOriginal PosterAug 7, 2022[quote]The only thing I saw was a squirrel; it didn't seem to mind me being just like it with nothing covering me.[/quote] This is off topic, but hiking is my #1 naked activity if you couldn't guess from my profile name. My experiences with wildlife, mostly elk, and some moose, have been that they are less concerned about a naked person. I asked myself, if that made any sense, why would they care? Then a hunter had an explanation. Apparently, the optical brighteners in detergents really make you stand out like a lightbulb. Thus they equate that look with human. Without it, they are curious but not necessarily threatened. I haven't noticed any difference in how bears act, naked or not, which is a good thing.ReactReply - DE
dennisAug 7, 2022I have some similar experiences. Been on hikes where some coyotes have crossed my path at a distance of less than 100 yards? They looked at us and just kept on going. On a few night walks dog and me walked up to animals without seeing them in the brush. The closest challenge was skunks. One we were 2 feet from when we spotted him. Night time and dark. We backed up slow. The skunk looked, turned, and left down his trail. Another time dog ran forward and went straight up to shunk, nose to nose. They said their hellos and how you doings. Skunk went on his way and so did we. Neither incident resulted in spraying. Had a coyote at night looking for dinner. He saw us and made a 30 foot circle past us. For me, animals seem more receptive of nude people as just another of them.

I used to live where I had 82 acres to roam nude. It was great being a photographer and getting so close to deer, owls and other animals. I could have a camera with me as long as I was naked. Put clothes on and I could only cover half the distance. I've been known on cooler days of stripping down and walking barefoot and naked to get close to deer and turkeys. It's only natural to be naked.

Cougar01Aug 8, 2022I have noticed that too. While walking naked in the woods you can get much closer to the wildlife than clothed. I have walked right up and stood within 10 feet of deer while they foraged.
