Had to look that one up. NSFW = Not Safe for Work? Geez, it’s National Geographic —- known for nudity for over a century :)

Judging from the pics, I didn’t know being naked in the woods was so intrinsic to benefiting from nature.

I leave for a trip in one hour; seems I’ve packed way too much clothing to reap the rewards. I will make a point of running naked in the snow tonight.

Seriously.
