“Freehiking was my introduction into nudism . . . I visited Gila National Forest a couple of years ago and was there during the week.  After two days of not seeing another soul, I got the idea to try hiking in the nude and it was fabulous.” – NuderUnr, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=1368&page=1

“Experiencing that memory of a foreign world of happy people enjoying life in the nude on a sunny day felt like coming home again.  What you take for granted in the world is given new life when you can enjoy the way nature intended.  My involvement in naturism has motivated me to take care of my health.  Engage in recreational activities that otherwise I wouldn't bother with.” – Bob, Michigan, http://aanr.com/first-time-nudist-experience&page=85

“[The purity of nudism was] . . . the belief of at least five groups in the history of Christianity: the Carpocrations, Adamites, Adamianis, Encratites, and Marcosians.  Most of the historical information we have concerning the beliefs and practices of these early Christians comes to us, in fact, through the recorded criticisms and diatribes of Roman Catholic Church authorities, since these authorities have largely destroyed the writings of those they considered heretical?” – http://clothesfreelife.com/2012/07/02/early-christian-nudists/

“There is a little secluded park by my house, so I walk there textiled of course, as soon as I get there I strip off my clothes, and walk nude . . . it is a great feeling!” - Kate

“Consider hiking in a mixed group.  A single naked man on the trail, climb or skin tracks can be somewhat alarming, but a group of men and women has more of a festive, club-like atmosphere.” - http://blog.columbia.com/art-nude-hiking/

“Stripping down to my physical purity forces me to love myself.  When I stop hiding my saggy butt, thick thighs, squishy tummy, uneven boobs, and wrinkly elbows, I love them all, every last dimple of cellulite included.  I have plenty of moments where I feel like an odd-shaped sausage trying to fit into a pair of pants that are just off.  But when I'm naked, I'm not trying to fit my body into a space it doesn't want to go.  It's free to enjoy its organic placement in this world.  I'm going to strip down and go water the garden now.” – Bailey Gaddis, http://www.cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a48738/walk-around-naked/
