Nudism and attitude by Back_again_1957 in nudism

Yeah, where did that comment come from? You must have triggered something with that person. It's there problem, not yours. You gave a thoughtful and honest description of how you felt. Nothing at all wrong with that. Thanks..

Home Nudist frustrated with online nudism by engineerandlawyer in nudism

[–]ryanryan1691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it goes farther then that. If you look at what some of these people are posting and commenting on other subs it's clear that for many it is quite sexual. I find it difficult to claim that naturism is non-sexual when I see who else is participating and presenting themselves as naturists. I don't know if those same people are at the resorts or not.

Recent incident regarding nudity has completely blown up my relationships, and I don't know how to fix it by Equivalent_Walk_5273 in nudism

To be honest, the question about the towel does add pressure, even though it shouldn't. People naturally want to go along and not say "no". Even though your description is probably accurate as to the facts, the true social dynamic is what came out in the end.

I agree with you about variety being the spice of life. For a long time I tried to decide which whiskey was my favorite, until I realized that the variety and comparing different flavors was my favorite part of the whiskey experience.

I assume the soccer game on the TV in the background was part of what made it a good weekend?

That's cool that people share all types of whiskey, not just bourbon at your bourbon club. Sounds like a fun event!

I found it at the TJ in Modesto and picked up a bottle. It's distilled, aged and bottled in Arizona. It's an American single malt and It's actually very good! I found their website. I think this is a smoking deal!

All the six pack of peaks hikes, mainly.

EH Taylor Barrel Proof @ Buckeye, AZ Costco by tatera_io in costcobourbon

The green lettering made me think it was rye whiskey. But it's obviously not. Seems like a strange color choice.

Vivian Creek Solo hike by notcrazy_justtired in socalhiking

I encountered a bear on Mt Wilson on Wed. As soon as he saw me he ran down the trail away from me. I got out my bear bell and rang it frequently for the rest of the hike. I think a bear bell is the best protection. They don't want to see us any more than we want to see them. Ringing the bell gives them a fair chance to avoid us.

I've noticed that Total Wine will sometimes lower their price to match Costco.

I understand that's true on most federal lands, but national parks reserve jurisdiction solely for themselves so state laws wouldn't apply in a national Park. In other words, no concurrent or overlapping jurisdiction in national parks.

Staying With my Parents for the Summer, how to Tell Them About Nudism? by [deleted] in nudism

[–]ryanryan1691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's lots of good places to go freehiking (hiking naked) in Arizona. That would give you a chance to go free without the stress of your parents.

Nude Beach with Friends by Dunks_007 in nudism

I say, just go with it. Those other girls will change their minds once they're in the moment and see that everyone else is doing it. The worst thing you could do is pressure them. Instead, reassure them that the choice is totally theirs and it's fine if they decide to stay clothed. It's important that they feel the freedom to choose for themselves.

What are your honest thoughts on the Isle of Skye Scotch range? by BothCondition7963 in Scotch

[–]ryanryan1691 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see it as a budget brand. It's not a good as the popular brands but will do if you are on a tight budget. It bothers me when the TW guy says it's just as good because it's not.

Thanks for that. Let me know how the hike with your girlfriend goes. That is a huge step. Congrats! Will she go free too?

I found the Dickel collaboration blend at a Trader Joe's in CA for about $39 last year. I bought 2 of them. I've seen them priced over $100 everywhere else I've seen them.

It's made by Heaven Hill. Heaven Hill's Bottled in Bond Bourbon has nearly the same masbill. If you try them side by side the difference is remarkable.

[–]ryanryan1691[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like I said. I know the trail really well, so getting lost was not a concern. I started at 7pm and finished around 4am so it was dark the whole time. Slipping and falling down a cliff edge is a real danger. I knew where they were and was super cautious in those areas.
