Anyone ever tried the Lundin barefoot thing? Ive been thinking about it and wonder what everones thoughts on it are...
There is pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar, I love not man the less, but Nature more.
Can't even walk up the garden without getting a splinter
I did a lot of barefoot hiking 2 years ago, but the fear of slicing myself up on broken glass scared me away from it, and I reverted back to boots. On one occasion I stumbled in a particularly rocky area and smashed my big toenail, nearly cracking it, and another time I got stung in between my toes whilst walking through grass...that hurt so bad I almost couldn't walk for a few days. I might try moccasins, but I don't have steel tootsies that Cody has.

When I come into the house, I take the outside dirt off my feet along with the shoes. With no shoes I'd have to wash my feet coming into the house and especially at night before getting into bed. I think it would just take too long for me. That, and I can stub my toe on a table from 10 feet away, I think its because my toes are so far from my brain. lol
I didn't spend over £200 on Scarpa boots to leave them at home ;-)

Like others here I'm sure, for the hobby/interest/passion we have for the wilderness skills, I think we all have real day jobs that mean our feet are too valuable to even contemplate trying this for a weekend. We have to return to the make believe world afterwards.
