Then hang in there, Nudewalker!
Great to have you in the conversation.
As I said, I think, in a previous post, sorry to hear things aren't too good for you on the naturist front.
I too get a lot out of others experience (particularly Jbee's and JMFs because they are such prolific posters) as my naturist activity in natural surroundings is a bit limited. It was a great introduction to the naked life for me to find the now defunct Secret Naturists Society Forum (TSNS) in 2007 when I was just realising that I was a naturist and found all these guys that were experienced nude hikers and whatnot. In those days we used regularly to share trip reports and experiences out on the naked trail. I got a lot of personal encouragement and reinforcement from several friends in that forum most of whom used to post in this forum after the demise of TSNS. Eventually I met some of them face to face, sometimes in naturist circumstances.
Over the years of this forum members have come and gone much more frequently and the conversations have got somehow less nude focused. I have a nostalgia for the TSNS days, I guess, because I found out loads of stuff about living and hiking naked which today are, for me, routine. And so it is with most of the old hands on this forum, there's less to say because we've already said it at some time in the past. Milfmog, for instance, late of this parish and TSNS, was always finding new places to explore, often very secretly and at the extremes of day and night, and would tell us about it in a well written narrative for the most part. Only Jbee and JMF do this nowadays. Myself and Bob, Ricc and a few others have fairly repetitive naturist time and experience and do the same stuff frequently e.g. Bob walking his land and Ricc gardening and me with garden and very occasional woodland excursions. We've not really got anything new to report very often.
A lot of recent friends such as Safebare and Reuben have been posting very infrequently. So forum life is quieter these days.
I forget, were you a TSNS member, Nudewalker? There was a Nightwalker.
