Whenever I hike the local county park woods trails I always get the urge to strip down if I haven't passed other hikers/ walkers for awhile. But then always pass someone within a few minutes. Nude hiking hasn't ruined hiking hiking with clothes because I like being in the woods, but it makes me wish for closer north Georgia's remote trails that I use several times a year. I do have a couple spots along the local park trails where I can put down a towel get nude and sit and read and watch the deer go by. Not much walking around in those spots.
I find hiking nude way more attractive than clothed, and lots more comfortable. So that when it's really too cold to go naked I don't have much incentive to go. But I still go with friends in clothes when requested, knowing it would feel better without em. Last time with a clothed group was a wild creek hike so I wore synthetic mesh gym shorts and shirt, wading in water frequently. But yesterday I did a lone 5 mile hike through the woods, some on logging tracks and some no trail at all, it's getting pretty cool, was mid 50's, but I did fine. Cool air and cool skin but actually perspiring sometimes, specially on that long uphill climb.
When I am out hiking I am always debating on stripping down. Clothing is just such a bother. I tried some of the high tech hiking shorts that are supposed to vent and move with you, but obviously these professional designers never hiked naked or they realize they are not even close. I often leave the zipper wide open on them to get more air movement. I have also hike in a kilt -freeballing (like there is another way to wear one), and though it is comfortable it doesnt beat a freehike. Still looking for the best hiking clothes for when I have to, but ultimately I will always want to be wondering nude
