Close Encounter
Yesterday, I had my closed call yet encountering a clothed person while hiking nude. She got to within 20 feet of me before I saw her coming. I ducked off the trail a bit to let her pass. She was so engrossed in staring at her phone, complete with ear buds, that she never even noticed she'd passed very close to a naked person. It amazes me to think one could go out in our beautiful natural world only to star at a smart phone.
Seems so common now. Even busses are less of a concern while driving as I just assume everyone's more interested in their phone than the view outside.
Yep was driving home two nights ago and pulled up alongside a bus. Was worried, looked across slowly and there was only about five people onboard but they were all engrossed in their phones!

i agree most everyone has their nose pointed at a phone when a passenger and very unfortunately while they are the driver too.
But i do take note what times the school buses go by home morning or afternoon,. It would take only one kid not looking at his phone to cause a scandal.

Mom and kids were in an area where there is a nude sunbathing spot so I guess they may have come across nudist. Re being seen not much u can do but remain calm and just be polite. Youre only naked not trying to be a pervert. Its natural!!
Oh it has happened a few times to me, but I pay attention to what sounds are going on. Most of the time people talk load, so I kept a sarong under my backpack belt. For those chance encounters. Worked well, but once I just had a feeling and put it on and sure enough fifty feet later a group of kids and adult males hiking toward me.
But then another time I was leaving the the slot canyon hiking area. Heres a young couple hiking towards me around a large rock. I asked if it was okay and mentioned that there was a few naked people back at the pools in the canyon. They were okay with it, but you could tell she was not used to seeing a man naked. Lol
On one occasion where I thought I'd be okay by staying aware of my surroundings and throwing on my polo shirt to safely Donald Duck by the time I got seen, I failed miserably by letting my shirt get in a tangled mess over my head instead of having it efficiently drop into place.
I thought I had arranged my shirt in my hand for quick deployment but it was not so. Fortunately the oncoming party of young guys just had a good laugh over my predicament.
