The subject came UP in a Sociology Class recently.
So is Nudity part of your ideal Backpacking experience? If so would you consider actually hiking nude? The thought has crossed my minde:)

Watch out for brambles, and you have to really plan where one is going to sit down.

tempting! ;-)

but for real, i can't think of one good reason to do that. it just boggles the mind...

that reminds me of my sociology class, thinair. we had to do something that violated "social norms" or whatever. my friend made herself look like she was pregnant, and we went into the grocery store holding hands. lame! LOL.

Chafing
I'd be afraid of what my hipbelt would do to me...

Skinny Dipping
Swimming naked, on the other hand, is quite enjoyable...lol...

As far as I know, they are not more attracted to nude people than clothed people.

Sunburn...
...can be a big deal for skin that doesn't usually see the light of day. Lots of SPF 45.

The thought of a deer fly biting my private parts would keep me clad.

Very Odd. I was just talking to "another" TT'er about hiking nude this morning. Hmmmm :-)

I do this occasionally, only when alone.
I never really thought of myself as a "one of those" nudist type people.
The first time, I found myself hiking alone on a warm day, hadn't seen anyone all day, didn't expect to. Took off the t-shirt, nothing but running shorts on, and couldn't resist the temptation to drop those too. Kept them handy just in case I ran into anybody. It's really pretty liberating.

In camp it's pretty hard to resist also, when the sun is warm and you're resting and there's no one around.

darn
oooh, I saw the title and thought it was gonna be a NE'er trip. You never know with this crazy bunch! ;p

Hiking...nahh, chafing, biting creatures, and all else that has been said would deter.

Swimming..heck yeah! Just be careful who comes along when you're sunbathing on that perfectly flat, giant, sun-warmed rock along the river.

There must be some group of people that like to go hiking naked. They have a national day for it. I think I could in the perfect conditions. Someplace remote, weather is just right. Bugs not too bad, not too much brush. I don't know if I would hike with a group of people. That would seem silly to me.

tee-hee... Stomper, what an amusing fear you have.

hike without my bra? ugh, just walking up & down the stairs without my bra is painful! straps rubbing the tender sides of my bosom, with no protection? nope, not even topless.
