South Of North: Naked Hiking

Apparently this is becoming a huge, growing (no pun intended) problem in the area. Yes, naked hiking. I found it hard to believe. I mean, try wandering nude around here in the mountains and your family jewels would be covered in mosquito bites faster than you could pull your pants back up. Although if I'm ever in that area, with an extra $170, I might have to give it a go. It seems a lot of people do. I found tons of blogs talking about how "invigorating" and "natural" and even "free" it felt. I do a lot of camping, backpacking and kayaking. And I must say, if I ever ran into someone backpacking in the middle of the woods stark naked, I would be surprised/Brandon Hansen, Just South Of North. More here.

Question: Would you hike naked in the woods if you could do it without anyone seeing you?
