Apparently being barefoot is a real threat to y’all.

I already wear minimal sole shoes unless I’m on my bike or working with heavy tools/equipment.

I’m almost always barefoot at and around my home, even in freezing temperatures for brief periods. The last time my family went to hanging rock mountain it was a cool day so about a third of the way up I said fuck it and spent the rest of the day barefoot. It was awesome I loved standing directly on the mountain top without my shoes on.

I watch my step in unfamiliar places. I’m not saying I never step on sharp objects but after over a decade in South Florida with sand spurs a daily experience of my childhood life, I’ve gotten pretty good at feeling my step before I make it.

I’m not saying it’s for everyone or without risk of injury. I’m not saying there aren’t time for shoes. But some of y’all are acting like going outside and feeling the earth under your feet is going to sentence you to death. Like, good thing Prometheus invented Nikes before he wasted time on fire

Sounds like a good way to get hookworm.

So does shitting in your hand and throwing it at the first person you see. Doesn't mean it's a good idea.

You'll feel soooo primal when you're at the doctor's office, trying to explain how you got hookworm, strongyloides, Lyme disease, and chiggers on a single hike.

There are special barefoot paths were l live that have segments prepared to experience many often strange underground types.

From cork over all kind of stones, sand, mud, pinecones to really mind-screwing stuff like broken glass (specially prepared to not cut).

But they are usually less than a km in length.

Walking multi day trails is a whole other story...

I'd certainly feel primal if I was hiking and got a splinter in my feet.

My friend randomly sent that to me yesterday

Nah, I'm not stepping on nails because I was lacking on my shoes game.

Nice try, this post is obviously Astroturfing from Big Rock, sharp object and hookworm incorporated.
