“Freehike - hiking clothed is like hiking with your hands over your eyes.” – Kensunwalker


Discussion

Do you love freehiking like I do?

Freehiking is how I started being a naturist.  Freehiking brings me closer to nature.  Freehiking with others reinforces what I feel.  Freehiking alone is a spiritual experience.

The NNAZ group is freehiking the Mingus Mountain trail Monday.  This should be our largest group freehike.  Anyone interested in joining us?

“Naturism is probably the last of the freedoms in our hyper-regulated world.  Naked, you are yourself, a fragile human being.  You feel better, closer to nature, bound to our planet, and feel that sense of freedom, without being judged by others.” - https://nuetheureux.wordpress.com/2016/06/24/5-raisons-de-passer-des-vacances-naturistes/

“. . . we were designed to go naked outside, a lot.  When we don't it's compromising our health.  Those people who object to nudity are forming their opinions contrary to science and health.  And contrary to God's original plan for us.” – Reuben T., http://freerangenaturism.com/forum/index.php?topic=768.15;topicseen

“We often grow up conditioned (be it consciously or otherwise) to believe that nudity is only acceptable if it's being used to please others, but wholly unacceptable if used for our enjoyment alone. . . our nudity be reclaimed.  The truth is that nudity doesn't have to be for anyone else. Taking pleasure in your body should be allowed on a solo level as well. . . Even if you are sharing your nudes with other people, that can be a useful tool as well.  You're hopefully choosing to present your nude body in the way that feels best to you — be it through positioning or lighting or whatever else might cause a surge of empowerment to drift through your soul.” – Marie Southard Ospina, http://www.bustle.com/articles/160293-9-reasons-not-to-be-ashamed-of-your-nudes

“Hiking naked is great.  It’s nice to camp naked.  Why not be naked out in the woods?” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/

“Nakedness has always been fairly natural to me: whenever I'm alone (and in private!) I'm naked - it just feels a lot more natural than being covered in hot, sweaty clothes, but I've led quite a sheltered life and the number of times I'd seen another person naked could be counted on the fingers of one hand.” – Robert, http://www.bn.org.uk/articles.php/_/information/about-naturism/first-time-experiences/in-at-the-deep-end-by-robert-r29

(What to tell people who ask about your interest in naturism.)  “1. We are people that look you in the eye when talking to you., 2. We are people that have respect for people of all shapes and sizes. 3. We are people that like you, for being you and not what brand you wear., 4. We are people that don’t make rude or sexual comments to you or about you., 5. We are people that enjoy meeting the real you, not someone you pretend to be., 6. We are people that come from all walks of life and professions., 7. We are people that are friendlier than regular people., 8. We are people that don’t think a nude body is a sexual statement., 9. We are people that don’t like to wear clothes.” – Bruce Kendall, http://jillianpage.com/2013/05/27/nudismnaturism-discrimination/#comments

“My best advice is to wear as little clothing as you can.” – Kensunwalker


Discussion

What do you wear when you're out and about?

Naturists may as well wear as little as possible without offending others, or nothing at all of course.

“Have you ever felt imprisoned by restrictive clothing?  Has the waistband on your pants cut into your abdomen in a way that caused you to feel upset about your body?  Have you felt overheated under clothes made of polyester or other non-breathable materials?  Have your joints ached or your posture suffered from the restrictions of your outfits?  If so, then you can easily understand why clothing can be unpleasant.” - Jordan Blum, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/the-benefits-of-social-nudism-and-nude-recreation/

“I was definitely born to be a nudist and am not right if I pretend otherwise.” – Kenfreehiker

“Frankly I have long since tired of so many in general society viewing nudists as eccentric, odd, voyeuristic, exhibitionists, sexual predators, and pedophiles.  We are simply normal, everyday Americans who refuse to buy into the prudish culture of body shame, extremist modesty standards, and nudity as a societal taboo.” - The Emerging Nudist

“I am not one of those Scots who goes red at the thought of sun and by contrast, tan fairly easily if managed sensibly.  So being in the sun whether lying down or walking around and getting a tan all over is heaven for me.” – Victor, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=21493.0;topicseen

“. . . community and legal acceptance of public nudity varies considerably.  To avoid offending the public in general, public authorities maintain what are sometimes called ‘standards of decency’.  What falls outside these standards are usually termed ‘indecent exposure’, or similar terminology.  These standards, however, vary with time and place.” - https://londonpress.org/2016/10/12/public-nudity-and-the-socio-cultural-impact/

“Freehiking brings one closer to nature, and the Creator, than is otherwise possible. Clothed, I feel like an observer of nature. Naked, I am a part of nature.” – Paul

“. . . we experienced an incredible day trip from St. Petersburg to Passage Key with Rusty & Vanessa’s Grin & Bare It Charters. . . As the five of us arrived at the Marina, we were greeted with friendly smiles and prepared for a six-hour day cruise.  The 90-minute boat ride to Passage Key was as wonderful as the destination. . . as soon as we cleared the inter-coastal, off came the clothes!  Once at Passage Key, we joined a hundred or more nudist boaters in a true natural paradise . . . There’s nothing like a day on the water spending hours going from boat to water to boat to water.” - Grin & Bare It
