Are people really relying on randomly stacked rocks to determine where they are like it's the 1800's
>>2871245Anon... you just don't go outside. Why is that?
>>2871245Navigation cairns are 3 or 4 feet tall and weigh hundreds and hundreds of pounds, they're basically immovable and no one would mistake a retards little stone stack for one. Not that I support building (((cairns)))
>>2871245are people really relying on paint on trees to determine where they are like its the stone age
Cairns for trail marking shouldnt be more than 3 or 4 hand sized rocks, not these tower monstrosities
>>2871245They can be very useful in certain kinds of terrain (like attached pic). Not useful on actual trails though.
>>2871292Snow
>>2871307you still have fucking blazes what is your point
Cairns are essential for above-treeline travel, especially in the snow. Blazes are frequently painted onto the rocks but under a layer of snow and ice that doesn't do you any good.
>>2871298>this terrain is all piles of rocks>I know how to direct people, with a pile of rocks!man bring a fencepost and some concrete or something
>>2871245anon, we've talked about this, getting mad at rocks won't make your low function autism go away...
>>2871245I kick every cairn I see, fuck cairns. I go to nature to see nature, not some fuckhead's art project
>>2871592but you don't go outside, that's the drywall you've been kicking in...
>>2871382>bring a fencepost and some concreteOK, you haul it up the mountain.
>>2871245>dude dont pick up a rock it'll completely destroy nature
>>2871245People seething about stacked rocks is one of the most autistic things I have ever encountered. Gladly this is just an online thing. Nobody who actually goes out irl cares.
>>2871245Yes. I knock them down every time I see them on the trail.
>>2871775I'd kick your ass and throw you off a cliff for doing that
>>2871779You'll risk your life for a pile of rocks?
>>2871839there are indeed risks trying to lift your morbidly obese ass, but, it's not about the rocks spergger
>>2871868>it's not about the rocksThis thread is about a pile of rocks.
>>2871890whatever the OP may have intended, it's a thread about making fun of speds who get mad at rocks
>>2871891No one said they get mad at rocks.
>>2871895>I'm not mad! [loud autistic seething sounds]kek.
>>2871759Park staff get paid to destroy excess cairns in places
>>2871954Yeah? So they are people doing their jobs and not the seething autists I was talking about. Nobody itt is "park staff"
>>2871900take your meds
>>2871979>n-n-no U R the crazy one!!11yeah, doesn't work that way son.
>>2871993>sperging out over a pile of rocks
>>2872118did you click the wrong post? cause >>2871979is a rock cuck.
>>2872179>sperging out over a pile of rocks
>>2872235>sperging out over a pile of rocks
>>2871382Yes it makes much more sense to drag fence posts and concrete up a boulder field to mark a path instead of simply stacking rocks from the boulder field on top of each other to mark the path.
Ima kick every "cairn" I see and you stacking cucks ain't gonna be able to do anything about it but seethe.
>>2872281You or the next storm. Dont hurt your feet. Nobody expects their rock stack to last forever.
>>2872281see! it really believes the "stackers" are real!kek
>>2872281This. They don't belong on the trail.
I deliberately knock down every single cairn I see. It's pure faggotry.
>>2872281
>>2872600yes, getting performatively upset at rocks is pure faggotry, I'm glad you are admitting it to yourself.
>effeminate 'no u'
>>2872704>loses emotional self-control at rocks
>>2872607I'm kicking both over :)cope and seethe
i enjoy that instead of just 1 ylyl/humor thread on a board /out/ takes things further and has several entire threads that are jokes like getting angry at rocks or tricking people into carrying massive bags of their own shit
>>2872747>carrying massive bags of their own shithey, there isn't always a river available, so you just have to take it to the next open water you find
>>2872607the left image is literally a stack of rocks
Nothing bad has ever happened from people making a cairn Why are you faggots so obsessed with this shit
>>2872842mostly it's autists frustrated with their crippling autism and (autisticly) think sperging out at things they perceive as related to their 'tism (stacks) will somehow make them not autistic, much like someone dying of AIDS in 1990 suddenly insisting they aren't gay so they can't have AIDS anymore.Very sad.Very autistic.Many such cases.
>>2872737one of those won't fall over
>>2872941They will when I'm through with them.
>>2872993you pant after climbing one flight of stairs son.
>>2873015You're still sperging out over a pile of rocks.
>>2871245I know this might come as a shock to you but they generally don't put giant wifi towers balls deep in the wilderness so one or two hikers can use them.Your signal isn't magical wizard technology that goes everywhere you do no matter what. It requires a massive amount of infrastructure to actually work and in the deep wilderness, unless you're hauling a fucking satellite with you, it's probably not going to work.So yes we're using the stuff that's worked for thousands of years to mark paths notable areas. If that bothers you, then you need to go touch grass, because you're so hopelessly domesticated that you're going to probably die during your next local power outage.
>>2871839NTA but you're risking dozens or even hundreds of innocent people's lives by destroying trail markers and potentially getting many people lost and killed so wouldn't killing you be self defense?
>>2872851Most people on the spectrum enjoy nature and work better with animals. People on the spectrum struggle intensely with social cues and interactions with other people, but the majority of them thrive when interacting with nature. You're confusing autistic with man child.Case and point I'm on the spectrum and subsidize a good portion of my diet with wild foraging and herbalism (Pic related I make an amazing whole plant dandelion tea) but if you held a gun to my head and told me to hold sustained eye contact and a natural conversation with you and I would definitely die. If you're going to hate an entire group of people, hate us accurately.
>>2873116If you're staking your life on a pile of rocks, then maybe don't go on the trail, or learn proper navigation techniques?
If you've done enough hiking, you'll know that in certain areas like really rocky areas it becomes very hard to see the trail. People use rocks to mark the trail in that case. It works. People use logs and rocks and shit to show where the path goes when it meets a point that also looks like it could be the path but isn't.
>>2873207>If you've done enough hiking, you'll know that in certain areas like really rocky areas it becomes very hard to see the trail.Just don't go on dangerous trails if you don't know how to navigate them.
