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.

>>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
