my hero.
luckily i only see them at tourist hotspots here.
you should join the national park volunteers at our artic circle, they recently spent a few days demolishing and spreading out these fuckers.

From an objective point of view, they're harmful for the ecosystem because they disrupt some insects life cycle and also remove potential refuges for small animals, specially insects.
From an objective one, they introduce something artificial in a natural environment, contaminating it.

why kick when you can just skip stones? someone already found the best so you don't have to spend that time
>>
>>2738884
The national park services says rock cairns are bad but cuck out and say don't kick existing cairns as it may cause rich upper class kids to get lost 50 feet away from the wide open road. We wouldn't want Instagram retards and disrespectful faggots playing loud music to lose their lives. I see these cairns literally ten feet off the main roads leading into trails. They say it's to prevent people from getting lost but you probably shouldn't be out if your sense of direction is that bad that you need a marker ten feet into a trail. I say annihilate them since they fuck up the environment. Before someone says I shouldn't because there are authorized cairns, those tend to be bigger. Unauthorized cairns are usually small.

Whenever I'm out and just chilling, having nothing better to do, I build two cairns for every collapsed one I see. I like to think it's a hydra of sorts, if you catch my drift. And it's really funny to me that man babies get upset over stacks of rocks.

Dumb animals thinking that stacking rocks is something dumb animals do.
Thank god there will be no trace left of these stupid defecators.
>>
>>2738884
Unironically this.

As an angler, these drive me nuts as they are one more link in the chain of why fish populations are struggling all over the continent without serious intervention. It's behaviors like this that have disrupted ecosystems all over.

For those who would say stupid stuff like, "fuck you, why should I care? It's just a pile of rocks!" That's exactly they attitude that makes people want to kick your ass, and why you don't deserve the outdoors. It is a team effort to protect the natural world, and so easy to destroy it (intentionally or not). If you're not willing to be part of that team, you're not welcome to the playground. If you're so selfish that you think that your actions don't have any impact, then you lack the civility to participate is a society like outdoorsmanship.
>>
>>2740756
relax, homie, stacking rocks doesn’t do shit to fish
>>
>>2740772
Actually, it does. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and pretend that you just don't know about it, rather than you're actively choosing to be an asshole.

Those rocks and riverstones are the habitats for invertebrates to reproduce and take shelter during their lifecycle. They are enormously dependent on very specific environmental factors, being insects, and any stressors can produce massive problems, quite literally downstream. While most trout and other colder freshwater species are opportunistic predators, their primary diet and nutritional source are the invertebrates in the waterways. Thus, less food = less fish.

Now, warmer freshwater fish like sunfish and bass may have a more varied diet, but they are still heavily dependent on those invertebrates, as well. Plus, the other things they eat are in the water for a reason (you can probably guess what those things are at this point).

So no, a single rock stack is not going to decimate any given ecosystem. But it's exactly that attitude that I'm talking about; the "my actions can't possibly have an effect." You are one of many that are enjoying that space, and those actions add up. There is no reason to be so ignorant of these interactions for an experienced outdoorsman. For those who are just getting started, there is a mountain of resources available, and plenty of people willing to share and help. But being a dick and mouthing off will find you nothing but a hostile environment by both the wilderness and the people you find in it.

Yes we know this,
new age practictioners of paganism think they mean spiritual stuff
historically anicent pagan peoples only made stone stacks as landmarks to guide them places.
shit like "turn left at the rock stack and keep going for 5 minutes and you'll reach town"
>>
>>2737976
I might just start stacking rocks everywhere I go just because of this thread.
The thought of some autist with 10k designer "survivalist" equipment spending more than an hour of his time kicking them all down fills me with joy.

They're not bad in and of themselves. But the point is to mark out safe paths in dense fog. But then retarded city slickers come and build them on cliff edges, creating a menace. And you obviously don't need one right next to another.

Some cairns are used as markers on trails (often made by BLM or local park rangers). They don't want people creating them like >>2738884 said.

they're bad if they're done like picrel.
A lot of neopagans seem to believe that rock carins were spiritual when that's incredibly false
rock carins were used as guides to locations like landmarks.
Using rock carins in a spiritual sense is bad
using rock carins the same way ancient peoples used them is correct
having one or two scattered at various distances
but having them like picrel is just retarded
and damages the environment
>>
>>2742322
Bbbbbut it won't hurt anything. It just looks like a pile of fucking shit a dog would shit out. Just a pile of rocks bro. Deal with it chud. You go out into nature to be reminded of more ugly ass man made structures. Forest rangers build them to guide people while ensuring they don't fall over and hurt someone but we're the exception instead of the rule.
>>2740635
Cry about it. I'm tired of these things getting out of control. You wouldn't leave your dog shit at the park without cleaning it up. What fucking reason do you have to litter the park with tons of these rock stacks all within a foot of each other? Cairns look like piles of dog shit.

the first and only time i tried adderall i got the brilliant idea to go hiking and of course im sweating like a madman from having taken amphetamine so im drinking all this water and by the time i got to the trail i had to piss so bad to the point where its causing me to have an erection so anyway i figured no one is around so i whip out my boner and start peeing in the middle of the trail till i hear a dogs muffled woof and i guy whispering for the dog to be quiet and i look up and maybe 5 feet above me on the hill is a guy and his dog in clear view of me and my erect penis walking nonchalantly along urinating. i bolted so fast down the hill from there and hid in a clump of rhododendrons until i was sure they had left the area then bushwacked my way back up the hill. in the process i got so warm and sweaty that i took my shirt off and looped it around my bag strap but at one point it got caught up on some shrubs and i didnt notice, so i kept walking for miles back to the bus stop and when i got there i realized I HAD NO SHIRT so i had to hike all the way back up and retrace my steps through the bushes not even on the trail but somehow through the magic of drugs i actually found the spot where my shirt was caught up and was able to get back home safely then i proceeded to play drums for 3 hours straight. the moral of the story is stay in school and dont do drugs or youll end up like me kids

It's fun to stack rocks, the fact that so many of you are assmad about it is funny.
Dunno what you think is "hippy" about stacking rocks.
>"Haha I kicked over your rock stack while you were gone!"
Okay? I'm not trying to make a permanent monument I just think it's fun, gonna stack them again.
You are entirely unable to stop me from stacking rocks.
>>
>>2740782
You're acting like making little stacks is somehow clearing entire bodies of water of river rocks.
Brother it's still in the exact same environment it's just a little higher, stop being delusional.
I think you just don't like looking at signs people were in a natural spot, but you're already hiking manmade trails of you're seeing any of these things.
>>
>>2742934
I think what's really hilarious is that we're at a point in time with the internet and being terminally online that we've forgotten that doing something because it's fun is completely normal.
Nowadays we just straight up call it autistic

nah I stayed in school and still ended up like you like imagine trying so hard and getting so far lol
