Story heard from a fellow traveler.

Last night over our farewell dinner a young British gal related a story about her volunteer EMT father.

On the south coast of England there is an official nude beach that is a fairly long hike from the road. The EMT team got a call from a sunbather on the beach about a possible heart attack victim on the beach. The team made the hike and found the victim unresponsive. Despite their heroic efforts he was pronounced dead.

But who was he? Was the question. They had the other bathers all get by their gear so that they could identify which pile was unclaimed. Mystery solved.

Sad story for sure. But at least he died enjoying his birthday suit on a nude beach.

I usually leave my license in my car or hotel room when I go to the beach so I guess there would be no way of identifying me if something went wrong.

I fear being bitten by a venomous snake while nude hiking locally here in Brisbane!

One thought might be to get a set of military style 'dog tags' to wear around your neck or possibly the same type set-up with a wrist band. The First Alert type wrist band would work well and has proven very durable. It would probably make the care of an unconscious person much easier and safer, too.

Modern phones have an SOS feature, it means even if locked emergency services can be contacted and if set up emergency contact and personal details the emergency services need can be accessed. Nearly everyone carries one these days. Kinda like electronic dog tags.

The What Three Words app is also very good for people who hike or go to remote beaches. Id suggest always having that on your phone.

there's a company ROADID that makes ID tags that fit your shoes in the laces. they also make tags that clasp onto watch bands. i have them for running (not nude) when i don't bring any other ID with me. you can list your name and a couple contacts on the tags. no, i don't have stock in the company.

I leave my phone in the car so it wouldn't help me
I do have an ID bracelet for biking so I guess I should take it to the beach too.

Why not get your wife to write your name and address on your shorts.

It would make more sense to wear my ID bracelet.
