Man, you've never gone for a walk in the woods if you haven't done it barefoot. In fact, you haven't lived if you haven't done that. I didn't wear shoes at all on my recent camping trip and have never been more comfy.
Ooooh POT! YOU must be COOL!! Sorry, I just always think it's pretty silly to worship pot. Sure, if you like to smoke it, fine. Whatever. But to wear it like it's a badge of coolness or something... I mean, I loooove Pepsi, but I don't put a picture of it as a sig file. Glad you enjoyed the barefoot hiking. You're right -- it's awesome. Blue skies, -Jeffrey
Hiking BF in the woods is great! for one thing you are so quiet you can hear all kinds of sounds from nature. Another nice advantage is the connection to the world around you, I never feel any seperation from nature it's like I'm truly a part of the natural beauty which surounds me. Sometimes it's fun to just walk with your eyes closed and drink in all the sensations, the breeze, sun, shadow, moist earth, leaves. Try it but be carefull you don't want to walk into a tree. Have fun
Yeah, you're right about the noise. That's why I took the shoes off in the first place. I was thinking, "this is ridiculous, all I hear is me crashing through the undergrowth." Then I realized what I was missing out on. By the way, I don't worship pot, and don't even smoke that often. I just liked the picture. Ironically, it's from an anti-drug site.
I'll be doing some barefoot forest walking tomorrow and the day after - I'm going camping with a friend, gonna spend the entire weekend barefooted.
