I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. – Henry David Thoreau
Out of curiosity, do you think Thoreau was a nudist? I have limited experience in this area, but some of the most beautiful places in the world are “clothing optional”. There is something magical about being free to be yourself.
I think if you could find a spot so beautiful & private to be clothing optional, I’d go for it!
Some people feel more comfortable naked than with clothes on. I’m not one of those people, but I understand the freedom that comes with the naturalist lifestyle. I’ve got to say, everyone should get naked in the woods at least a few times. 😉
I think it’s a little more difficult to go naked in the fall due to wasps.
Bug spray… 😉
