There is no wifi in the forest, but there is the sudden shock of a cold stream against bare skin. There is the damp earth beneath the soles of your feet and the unfiltered sun on your shoulders. Naturism: Coming home, because we finally remember we are nature.

The desexualization of nudity is not about convincing ourselves that we will never feel attraction. It is about learning that our attraction is our responsibility, not the other person's. It is ensuring that our feelings never become an excuse to make someone else uncomfortable.

Work in Progress. Did I do a well enough job with the likeness for you to figure out who I'm trying to create next?

Yes. Because when you see what actual bodies look like, and see yourself in those bodies, you become way more relaxed in your own skin.

It’s been about a year since I last posted. Life got busy, but my appreciation for naturism never changed. For me, it’s always been about freedom, authenticity, and a deeper connection with nature. Looking forward to sharing more of the journey with all of you. Thanks for sticking around. ☀️🌿

@bareoaks.ca hey BareOaks, I’ve emailed and called about an order that I placed November 2025 and still haven’t received. Nobody has gotten back to me. Could you please get back to me about it?

I took this outside my house. My dog needing to go out to pee at inconvenient hours will seemingly provide a gem once in a while. And what a gem this one is.

Hey everyone. We are still here, we still exist. The past couple years have been difficult for us. We are here. We still exist but the color has been sucked out of our life. We are making life changes. We look forward to engaging with the community again.

Another pair I printed and painted today. A male and female from the race of “wild elves”.

I’m getting back to painting and being creative. I printed these two OCs from a story I’m working on and painted them today. Franduil and Tashaeña, or Frank and Tash as what they call each other. This is them at the end of their origin story.

Happy winter solstice! At last, we've made it to 'The Shortest Day'

Especially in these chilly winter months, the nostalgia of having sun on your back, creeps in STRONG.

We took a bunch of pictures while we went hiking recently and they all kinda turned out crap except for this one. Hopefully we can get out again before too long. ✌🏼

You might be having a thanksgiving, but are you having a thanksgiving where you’re building supports for your mini? I don’t think so.

We have a punching bag in our garage that I got for $25 and I’m silently geeked out about this.

We’ve been pretty absent lately. We had to flee from a wildfire and had all sorts of ups and downs from it. We’re still very disregulated from being displaced and having no real sense of normalcy. We’re good, nobody died, there’s at least a thousand firefighters working the fire.

Check out our latest adventure at Lake Mead. We met up with friends, took in a few hikes, got to swim, all in our preferred state of dress. Follow the links in our profile to see the rest of our pictures on P A T R E O N.

Once you realize you are unique, just like everyone else, you stop feeling as though your body is so different from everyone else and shame melts away. Nobody can make you feel bad without your permission.

I finally got around to printing and painting some of the antagonists I wrote for, Dutchess Kryvna, Prophet Joseph, and Leopold Waltz. What do you guys think makes them antagonists? What are their goals? What’s are they willing to do?

We love to hang out with our naturist friends and talk about life in the most natural way of dressing. Once you are comfortable at your most minimal, it becomes easier to break down the walls you have built up around your thoughts feelings and emotions. #normalizenudity

Pattie and I got an amazing chance to hang out with another couple of friends in nature. There’s nothing quite like existing at your most minimum while discussing life and philosophy in nature. Check out our links to see all the images on our P A T R E O N.

Being in the cold and having winter can be tough. This morning we were reminiscing of better times and Pattie wanted to post one of her favorite pictures of herself. Naked on Playalinda, tanned, crisping in the sun with an iced caramel latter from Dunkin’. It’s the little things.

If we don’t ride a tandem bike naked then what is life?

Pattie discusses naturism and how simply spending time naked makes her feel better. How do you feel when you spend time without clothes?

Happy earth day everyone! Celebrate it in the most natural way. Accept your place in the world, minimize your footprint, your pull in resources, and go hug a tree.

While nudity and winter don’t seem like an ideal match, it can be fun and exhilarating. Just like your skin forming a callus, your body can and will adjust to whatever you throw at it. Have you ever just had the urge to run around naked in winter?

Our first time doing anything nudist was at Playalinda beach in 2010. We stayed all day and the feeling of swimming without soggy suits, and then getting out and being dried by the warm sun and crisp wind was a sensation that hooked us for life. What a way to start a relationship.
