Gloves for me (Atlas). I keep them everywhere, even in our camper (yes, I tidy up campgrounds...just a snip here and there, pulling invasives, etc.) I used to go bare handed but I find I don't have the inclination to keep up with the nail cleaning, cuticle care, and scrubbing - and was more often then not quite appalled at the state of my hands while working with business clients (at a keyboard where hands are front and center). I do love the feel of dirt, so completely agree with team no glove. Perhaps now that I'm retired I'll ditch the gloves, although I do also 'get' the notion that once the gloves are on, we're off to it.
As a side note, my husband was bitten by some spider while working in the woodshed which swelled his hand up like a baseball mitt. When we went to the doc for treatment, he was offered the obviously simple advise to put gloves on when working with firewood. Duh.
