Oh, I dunno.  I've been told by my kids that they're just waiting for
me to start going in full camo.  I'm only partial so far.   Except
when I'm in what the youngest used to call bag lady mode.  "Mom,
polyester is OUT!"   Yeah, but it's brown and doesn't show mud and I
don't care what happens to it.

And I see nothing wrong with the trash bag rain gear.  Nor has anyone
ever commented negatively on it.  A few have said, "Gee, I wish I'd
thought of that when the rain surprized me."  My nice dark green wind
/ rain jacket may not be with me always (should be.  I know.), but
there's almost always a trash bag in my fanny pouch.  More portable in
smaller space.

Nude hiking?  No problem.  I'm not going to do it, but don't mind if
others do, unless they start waggling stuff at me or following me.
Barefoot hiking?   No problem.  I've done a 25 pound pack (mostly
water) while wearing water walkers for a few miles. Almost as good as
barefoot. Better in some ways than with shoes or boots, but not good
if you pound down on your heels.  You have to walk differently.  And
more carefully.

And it's hard to care what lurkers think, innit?  It's like caring
much what the people two tables down at Perkins think.

BTW, Eugene, there's some guy with a user name of Mitch something on
one of the magic (as in sleight of hand, rather than supernatural)
groups talking flame thrower stuff of a home made kind.  Rather
amusing.
