Hi Jbee.
I have done a lot of nude camping, hiking, canoeing, and just sittin' at home. I love the freedom so much that it was a MAJOR factor in the decision to purchase some land. There is a story here. We've been looking for land for the past four years and we've seen and investigated a few potential sites, but this one jumped off the page. Here we find a drilled well, a septic bed, a building site, a power line, a road set and settled for 30+ years, and a seller that was in a difficult position and had to close. A little more than two years ago a great orange glow alighted the neighbouring sky one night before the onset of winter. The five bedroom house that was started as a project in the 80s, and never completed more than being roof tight, was unoccupied but under control of some rental tenants. Their stolen generator had set a spark in the building and the great marijuana gro-op in the house was thusly set ablaze.
The house burnt to the ground. Now with two years past we came along at the end of the selling season and placed our offer. We did all the checks that any reasonable buyer would perform like test the water in the well for contamination, assess the work to clean up the metal debris that remains on the site, check the legal instruments describing the property, called and talked neighbours of the property, and so on. We closed the deal and now we are the happy owners.
The perimeter of the land; that is, the distance to walk the entire property line is about 2.6 kilometers (1.6 miles) and it is all forest inset with a beautiful wetland and pond. A lake is less than a mile away. The nearest neighbour is about a mile away. I can imagine tossing the clothing as soon as I reach the property line and living free for days at a time on this newly purchased hardwood and softwood forest. We have pine and oak and maple and who knows what else. I have much to explore (in the nude -- when the warm weather arrives). The area amounts to 100 acres.
For now, we are using our truck camper for a weekend shelter as we build a cabin. On Saturday night we had a great campfire. Alas, spring cannot come soon enough, but I can be patient and for now there are no bugs to bother us while we build. It's damn cold out though.
Cheers,
Alf
We bought some land before Christmas and since then we've been out to the site most weekends, staying in a small camper and working on a small camp. The nights seem long, but we deal with it with a campfire when the weather cooperates. Otherwise, it's into the camper for a card game, a movie, or early to bed.
I feel an inner peace when I walk the lane late in the evening under the dazzle of the night sky.
I can hardly wait for warmer weather to arrive, but then there will be bugs.

Tell us more. Trees, grass, hills, acre, two, or more, or less? Nearby neighbors, nude potential? Can we come visit? Wildlife? What kind of camp are you making? Rustic wood structures, tent, firepit, composting, anythiong that you might elaborate? We are talking about gettaways in National Forests and a portable camp set up. Tent with warm stove, shower, airbed, rugs, 4x4 back into the site and hike everywhere nude.
Curious....
