     Why even take the clothes on your back, Your Billness?
     I am picturing you naked, bushwhacking through the undergrowth. Not a 
     pretty picture. Yikes!

 is indeed valid, call it foolishness, but it is the spirit of adventure

 agree that that sentiment is at odds with why we 'just go for a walk'...

If y'all really want to test your self. Then why do y'all take a pack, food, 
tent, sleeping bag and so on?
     
Be one with nature, go hiking with only the clothes on your back. Go into the 
wilderness for a week.
