“I think the key to being seen while hiking naked by textiles is to act natural.  Being naked in the outdoors is natural . . . [don’t act] in a lewd and lascivious way, or don't act guilty but just simply wave and continue as normal, speak if spoken too, in a pleasant manner, and carry on your way.  I have at times been met by other hikers who were clothed and they stopped me and we spoke for some time.  It was very pleasant and they did not seem to be threatened by my being naked at all.  So, get out there and hike nude.  It is greatly relaxing and wonderfully enjoyable.” – Richardetnp, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=132&idt=99690&page=last

“I’ll never forget the first time I sat naked, thigh-to-thigh on a wooden sauna bench with my boss.  It was week one of a new job with a computer start-up near Heidelberg in Germany.  I’m from Scotland, where socializing after work means going to the pub for drinks.  I never dreamt it would involve standing outdoors with colleagues, snowflakes falling on my bare skin.  For me it was a seismic culture shock.  But in Germany, Holland or Finland it’s not unusual to visit a sauna with colleagues.  And in Finland it’s perfectly natural to have seen your boss without a stitch of clothing.” – Lennox Morrison, http://www.bbc.com/capital/story/20161020-where-its-common-to-get-nude-with-your-colleagues

“There are too many prohibitions of public nudity, too strict dress codes, and too many requirements of clothing.  If this didn’t happen 3000 to 5000 years ago, why does it happen now?  Gymnophobia, the fear of nudity, has been normalized and is serious.  The fear of nudity is an irrational and excessive fear.” – https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2015/11/29/why-the-world-needs-more-nudists/

“Nothing better than naked hiking... It's exciting.” – Rupa, https://twitter.com/Rupa2105/status/783607712953151488

“Thousands of nude cyclists set off on a trek around Philadelphia on Saturday [9/9/2017] for the annual Philly Naked Bike Ride.  About 3,000 riders in various stages of undress pedaled a 10-mile . . . course taking in sights including Independence Hall and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where Sylvester Stallone sprinted up the steps while training as Rocky. . . Some were in their birthday suits while others sported underwear or body paint and glitter.” - http://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Bikers-in-the-buff-ride-through-Philadelphia-s-12185632.php
