My experience has been that a little bit of nudity comes naturally to people who spend a lot of time in the bush. Anything from a quick skinny dip in a nice waterhole or river after a hot day of walking to the unceremonious strip-off of wet clothing back at the car, and even the occasional bit of nude walking when the bush is open and some warm sunshine is streaming down.
I recently did a canyon in the nude, from start to finish, which is the first time I've done an entire trip in that format (http://fatcanyoners.org/2011/12/18/nude-canyoning/). It started out as a laugh, but was actually a really enjoyable experience (as long as you were VERY careful to avoid rope burn).
I also remember reading the biography of the legendary 'barefoot bushwalker' Dot Butler and particularly enjoying the fact that her first introduction to real bushwalkers was when she stumbled upon a group (from the Sydney Bushwalkers possibly?) skinny dipping in the Royal National Park. Given it was the early 30's, that seemed pretty awesome to me. It also suggested nudity and bushwalking have a long history together!
All this has made me a little curious about the views of modern walkers. I'm I in the minority is do people find nudity a common part of bushwalking? Does everyone else nude up for a swim or have budgie smugglers found a place in the pack? Is it just too *&%$#! cold for all the Tassie walkers here!
Don't know if I'd be keen doing it with all that fast moving rope wizzing around though, certainly add an element of danger to the mix
