Fuck it, I’m going barefoot and wallow in last night’s mud! Yeah, yeah, I’ll wash my hands (and damn feet too...probably...yeah, all that slick mud) See ya!
I did the same today. Some nice mud on my "go to post-rain" trail. I plan to go again this weekend to enjoy that mud again before it dries up. I also crossed paths with another barefoot hiker, first time ever in 10 years of barefoot hiking!
Hey everyone! 43 here in Mn today and I spent a good portion of the day barefoot,the ground is still cold!
I finally figured out something that is probably obvious to most on here. In thin, slick muddy areas, if I grip hard with my toes, while walking, it makes a huge difference. I was able to walk easily through areas where I had almost fallen on previous hikes. Doh.
People who go shod will never experience the feeling of mud! The best kinda mud is the wet, damp mud with a thin layer of super slimy and wet mud at the top. It is like a cake with icing.
