A neat article by someone qualified by lifelong naturist experience

Magical zone – RFI Publishing — All Nudist

The most compelling reason that I have found though for hiking in the nude, is the ease of sliding into that magical zone of existence while naked. As my freehiking buddies… #freedom #magic #naked Source: Magical zone – RFI Publishing

I totally connect with this. Hiking nude is exhilarating and it’s true that I connect with mother nature more wholesomely. I’m a birder and photographer and there is nothing better than combining my enjoyment – naturism, hiking, birds and photography – even if I still have to wear several kilos of equipment. As long as that’s all I have to wear…

Bookish update — Zjuzdme.org

Hi there. With July on the way out which means that most of 2016 is already behind us, I thought I’d give you a little update on what’s going on here book-wise. Mirror Earth 2 The end of that book is in sight. I’m working on getting the last chapter in order and shape, which…

Thanks for the update and good luck with your books, Mr. Walker. You deserve to be read.

I have read several of Walker’s Naked Crow books and Mirror Earth too. His latest Shadow Dancer (Naked Crow 5) is a really good read with strong characters. He is a great storyteller and you have to admire someone who, I believe, is not a native English-speaker, writing in what must be for him a foreign language. Not many in this world can weave an entertaining tale in a foreign language. Kudos.

This means that the written prose is not perfect English, clearly spoken 98% percent accurately but with the inflection of a foreign-speaker. Readers: get over that and admire the content for what it is. Really good reads.

I have to say though that Shadow Dancer was much easier to read with more of an anglicised prose than previous books.

Keep up the good work, Mr. Walker. Looking forward now to Mirror Earth 2.

Cover for a new book — Zjuzdme.org

Hi, yes, here’s a cover for a new book – and it’s not one of my books! My friend in writing, Wallace Greensage, asked for some assistance in creating the cover for his second New Albion book and I made this for him: The book is not available yet but if you’re curious about the…

Really looking forward to my friend Wally’s new book – the second in the New Albion series. Enjoyed the first book ‘Who Is This Naked Lady?’ immensely.

Where To Go To Be Nude

A hot spell and suddenly the UK regional press is full of advice about where we can enjoy the full benefits of sunning and relaxing – naked of course!

Friendly Beach

And that’s a very good thing, right? Letting people know where to go to be naked outdoors is the best kind of naturist lifestyle endorsement.

But so many articles? What happened?

Can Nude Become the New Normal? – Clothes Free Life

How can nude become the new normal? Have you ever thought about that? I have. It is an interesting question with a lot of challenging hurdles to overcome before an answer is even possible. We’re facing big ‘competition’ in our nudity, the competition of big bucks that are made off the ‘other’ kind of nudity. […]

Sunscreens – the Best and Worst (YNA)

Crowded Nudist Beach

Young Naturists America (YNA) has blogged a helpful appraisal of sunscreens. Although this is US-based of course, the content is universally excellent (well, worldwide, to be pedantic – it would be hard to judge the effectiveness of sunscreens in a galaxy far from here) in that it gives an in-depth assessment of what sunscreens do and don’t do. Far more important than comparing brands, in fact.

It’s based on an EWG report – Environmental Working Group (EWG) is a nonprofit organization that raises public awareness about the toxins in our environment and in the everyday products we consume, according to YNA.

Interestingly, YNA reports that ‘EWG calls sunscreen a “last resort” for sun protection.’ Wow! Read on for more

I don’t often give mentions to naturist organisations, but here’s one that is heartily recommended. If I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: YNA has become a major force in North America naturism and deserves support. It’s an impressive organisation that does a great job of promoting nudism – and not just for the ‘Young’ in its name. Subscribe – you’ll learn lots.

A Nude First at Nude Fest — clothes free life

Originally posted on naturisminsociety: To a few people choosing an event like Nude Fest as my first social naturist outing might seem like a choice bordering on insanity but to me it seemed like the perfect baptism into a world I have longed to be a proper part of since I was introduced to it…

I love ‘first time’ experiences, mainly because I didn’t really have one myself – I was naked as a toddler and never stopped enjoying the feeling for the next 60+ years. Bliss!

A brave positive introduction to our naturist way of life at a British Naturism event – Nudefest 2016. Enjoy!

Nudefest 2016

Oh, and the event was attended (clothed) by the local MP! Good for him and great for the promotion of naturism.
