“Wow, great day for being naked!  Those that are.great.  Those that can.  Do it.  For the rest of us we shall love vicariously through you!” – Connecticut Nudist, https://twitter.com/nudistct?t=1&cn=cHlta193dGZfZGlnZXN0X3RyaWdnZXJlZA%3D%3D&sig=8cb9a86f684bcd04ab623aab8882a6fc90662794&al=1&refsrc=email&iid=4b26b7a9cb94453ca2f3b081933823fc&autoactions=1431296051&uid=396523018&nid=244+413

“. . . hiking (naked) is about the cheapest highly enjoyable entertainment available.  Where else can I hike out the back door, and for the cost of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, be absolutely and thoroughly entertained while leaving all the worlds cares behind for the whole day?” – John

“According to the Eureka Naturist Club webmaster, the Saxon Shore Way is an excellent remote Thames-estuary riverbank trail ideal for freehiking.  The Saxon Shore Way (http://www.kent.gov.uk/leisure_and_culture/countryside_and_coast/walking/saxon_shore_way.aspx) is a public footpath and cycle track along the Kent coastline, starting near Gravesend in Kent (about 20 minutes from Eureka).” – Ken

“Some general advice of my own on barepacking includes:  1. While hiking bare, keep a towel or pair of elastic shorts in easy reach on the outside of your pack.  2. Keep up your fluid intake.  Hiking bare allows your sweat to evaporate more effectively, and since you will not have sweaty clothes as a reference, you may not realize how much liquid you have been losing to evaporation.  3. Don't buy prepackaged backpacking meals unless you have a lot of spare money you need to get rid of.  These meals are convenient, but you can eat just about as well buying dry goods from your grocery store (pastas, noodle dishes, rice, etc.)  4. Assume backpacking tents are undersized.  If you buy a ‘two man’ tent, you will be quite crowded trying to fit two people inside.  If you routinely camp with another person, consider a ‘4 man’ tent.  5. Don't be afraid to barepack in the late Spring, Summer, and early Fall.  Most backpackers avoid the warmer months.  Barepacking gives you a warm weather advantage.  Being naked, you will handle the heat the way your body was designed to.  Also, there are likely to be less people out there to offend, and any hikers you do encounter will understand your wanting to hike bare.” - CampingBare

“This summer, hit the nude beach (or just quickly strip down in your backyard when no one's looking) to improve your heart health.  The key is vitamin D, which is created by our skin cells when they are exposed to the sun.  People deficient in this important vitamin suffer from an increased risk of coronary heart disease.  While the duration of sun exposure required for enough vitamin D depends on skin tone, the Vitamin D Council recommends a minimum of 15 minutes outside -- not necessarily in the nude, but hey, it won't hurt.” - Joni Sweet, https://www.thrillist.com/health/nation/health-benefits-getting-naked-nudity
