More like wear long trousers for number of reasons, this and general scratches being very frequent in almost any terrain. There are cheap fabrics who are better than bare skin even in scorching heat, plus you protect your skin from sunburns and some bad insects. I seem to possess skill of losing not so used trails easily or doing some shortcuts which end up changing pleasant hikes into hardcore, often survival ones. I mean i have tons of experience and even returned few times (but only few, mind works against you here), but also thanx to that I see how ie 1 slip or loose rock at some crux place can be easily fatal, but most places are fine even if scary to beginners. Or wading through thick bushes with ie this Ivy due to trails gradually disappearing and only later realizing they were from animals like op.
