Aaag!!! My Eyes!!!
Mark gets the famous fig-leaf no-prize for bringing us news that Switzerland is having trouble with nekkid Germans hiking all over the countryside. You'd think that, after awhile at least, those backpack straps would start to chafe.
Okay, couple of thoughts here:
1 - when did nekkid includes boots, socks, and gaiters? Srsly - if you feel you've got to be nekkid to "commune" with nature or whatever the hell excuse you've come up with, don't be a pussy. No footwear allowed in nekkid.
2 - sweaty and nasty. Amber and I've done a fairly decent amount of serious hiking and when you're done, you're one sweaty and nasty mofo. This means you'll be leaving nasty sweatprints on anything you sit on. No one wants that.
3 - Germans are frickin' wierd. Srsly - Germany is like the Japan of Europe.
4 - True hiking involves all sorts of hazards to one's junk. Animals, insects, bushes and trees, fires (if allowed in the area you're camping at), pointy and sharp rocks, cacti, hiking pole incidents, etc. It's bad enough on normally exposed skin - so who in the hell wants poison ivy or some other nonsense like that on their junk?
