“’Why do we wear bras in the first place... because it's socially unacceptable not to?’  Well, bras have been around for less than 100 years!  During the Renaissance corsets were worn not to hide, but to expose the breast.  Before then, all the way back to Adam and Eve, there was nothing simply put, nothing.  Interestingly, there seems to be direct correlation between the popularity of bras and the rise of capitalism.  Yes, bras are fashionable, aren't they?  The bra industry is worth £500m annually and women are relentlessly exposed to advertising campaigns.” – Mavis Davis, http://socalnaturist.org/articles/bras_healthy.html

“The naked body serves as a political canvas to express a message.” — Gisela Perez de Ancha, http://clothesfreelife.com/2016/03/23/wow-a-political-canvas-to-express-a-message-topless-protests-in-mexico-and-peru/

“Being a nudist can help you return to your childhood self, to remember the person you were before you cared about putting your clothes on and ran around naked and happy.  It's a very liberating feeling.  Nudism can help you return to that pure and un-self-conscious version of yourself and can help you feel happy and free in a friendly environment.  Think of how complicated our lives have become.  Having to choose clothes, jewelry, footwear, and so many other items only makes it harder to be our natural selves.” - http://m.wikihow.com/Practice-Nudism?utm_content=buffer641e7&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

“The most important items for a day [free]hike from the lady’s perspective (non girly girl) would be a wee wad of tissue, water, sunscreen, a lightweight long sleeve shirt, sunglasses, comfortable back pack, snacks, and a hat.  Maybe bug spray depending on locale.  For Spartan hikes less than four hours that reduces to hat and sunglasses.  For a Girly girl... Well there wouldn't be any hike unless there was a gift shop involved and an elevator.” – Kayaker, http://freerangenaturism.com/forum/index.php?topic=683.msg3758#msg3758

“I live near a wide open expanse of desert that is crisscrossed with ATV trails.  Some are well used, but most are nearly forgotten.  I absolutely LOVE those nearly forgotten trails!  I went out this morning and had a nice mile or so hike down a few of them without a care in the world.  I didn’t even have a cover-up with me.  I was able to leave all my clothes in the car, except shoes as they are a necessity amongst the cacti, and just enjoyed the warm sun and cool breeze on my skin. . . happy naked trails everyone!” – Nude2this, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=226&idt=27284&vpage=1
