What's the big deal? I get cairns to some extent, they look fucking dumb on the side of the trail. Geocaches on the other hand, when done correctly, are barely noticeable even when you're looking for them. Are you guys really so pretentious about being /out/ that you have to fuck up the fun of a child geocaching with his dad?
>>629227
making fun of, and kicking down cairns is just an edgy /out/ meme.
Normal people don't really give a shit.
>>629239
>Normal people don't really give a shit.
>the people who did this are more normal than the people who are annoyed by this
>>629259
wow, that looks really stupid.
>cairns look stupid
holy autism
>>629259
Wow I'm so glad the GPS data is in the exif for this photo.
I'm about to go there and kick all those cairns.

Visited Maine recently and saw this sign. Immediately thought of /out/
I always assumed it was just kids meming too hard for their own good. I geocache with my kids to increase their engagement while /out/. I'd be pissed if my 6 year old found a cache and we opened it to find some guys poop, but I'm pretty sure the guys who type that shit are too busy being edgy on 4chan to actually go outside.
>>629336
Maine is the state where cairn kicking started.
I live in Maine, I know where that sign is, and I just got some new /out/ stickers. Going to go throw one up next week.
>>629337
there are tons of us who shit in geocaches. just youtube "geocache shit, poop, feces" There are videos from all over of people finding our warm steamers.
Maybe you should bring your kid outside and do something that is closer to nature, teach him to fish or fuck IDK, anything other than geofagging.
>>629227
>Are you guys really so pretentious about being /out/ that you have to fuck up the fun of a child geocaching with his dad?
You do realize this is 4chan right? Right?
>>629359
4chan =/= /b/
>>629433
/B/ > 4chan
Ftfy.
can someone post the cairn kicker picture? Preferably the patch?
>>629453
> what a loser
>>629433
Some of these smaller boards have this idea that they are better than /b/. /b/ informs every board on 4chan. Maybe not modern /b/ but certainly /b/ circa 2008/2011.
This is meant to be an edgy outlaw place. If you dont like that, you need to find some REI sponsored camping forum somewhere.
>>629433
/b/oard == /b/est board
>>629464
God, you're fucking dense.
>>629357
That is hilarious but I can't find anything more via jewtube or Google.
I think I've found a new hobby!
>>629756
How so?
>>629259
I saw something like this on the A.T. I believe it was Vermont. Is this that spot?
>>629852
>Vermont
Tell me where and I'll go fist of the north star on those cairns next week on my day off.

That looks like the first level in Halo 3, when the Phantoms first drop off the Grunts and Brutes.
Its just people who are so pathetic they feel the need to waste time pretending to be autistic OP.
Only someone who is a sociopath or has some other mental illness would shit in a geocache.
Sedona loves cairns!

You can buy a cairn in Sedona...

I think it's awesome someone is making dollarydoos selling cairns!
>>630691

Maybe so maybe not, but anon is right.
>>631046
>vortex power spots
>>631051
my swift kick against a stone of cairn would create a fucking vortex power spot.
Could our big /out/ field trip be to sedona to kick over all the cairns?
Oh please lets dilo it.
Please...I need this.
>>631069
I'd love to visit that shop.
>>631069
There are soooo many cairns in Sedona!
(pic not related...)
>>631079
Dude that is the dinner of the serial killer.
I hope thats not what you eat...
>>629756
faggot
>>631084
> breakfast of serial killers
Ftfy. Potato, onion and sausage, what?
>>631051
I put a cairn in my vortex power spot, but had to take it out so I could return my dark mana to the earth, sealed in a geocache.
>>631256
Sausage ? Looks more like hot dogs.
Oh wait are you candian? Are those canadian breakfast sausage? Those things are so weird .
Why dont canadians like a less processed sausage like we get in the states?
>>629227
again, geocaching is just stupid. you should teach your kid to look for actual wonders in nature, not tiny plastic containers while following some arbitrary rules. what the fuck is wrong with a little exploration? seems like stuff not recorded under your alias on some website doesn't really happen anymore tbqf
keep that shit to the puzzle ones in parks and other semi-urban areas and it would be okay. shit happens in the woods and the poop will flow, brace your selves
>>631046
>People are literally buying piles of rocks.
>>629227
I thought cairns were used for navigation and people just shit all over that and build a lot more in places you don't need.
>>632105
>I thought cairns were used for navigation and people just shit all over that and build a lot more in places you don't need
True at least in the Scottish mountains: http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/oct/30/ben-nevis-visitors-urged-not-to-build-mini-cairns
>>According to the John Muir Trust conservation charity, Ben Nevis, which stands at 4,409ft (1,344m), as well as peaks near Loch Ness, have been blighted by new DIY cairns, which not only detract from the scenery but also present a hazard by misdirecting other walkers.
>>In the worst cases, visitors are even leaving excrement under the stones. The most bizarre items found under unofficial Ben Nevis cairns in recent years include a wheelchair and a piano.
>>630631
So that's what it looks like above that waterfall you can't see above!
>>629259
If I found a bunch of cairns like that, I'd suddenly find myself compelled to finally practice using a rock sling just as soon as I make one like the one in the picture that can sling egg sized rocks on up to rocks as big as softballs.
>>629332
Unless it's suddenly back exif has been stripped for like half a year or more now.
>>629464
kill yourself
>>632945
Sheeeit that's a good idea.
If you try it
KEEP ME POSTED
>>632960
Thank her for her support! They're cute, aren't they?
fucking Sedona.
>>633005
K..
>>629259
i would pay to see some /out/ist waddle around kicking the cairns and screaming LEAVE NO TRACE
>>629359
at least its not /b/ tier porn.
>>629464

Props to the guy that did that, managed to turn my foot purple for a while, ass.
>>633583
things that never happened
>>630660
I've shit in a cache before....you're pretty right on the mental illness so far, lol. That is the biggest reason I go out. So not to deal with ppl and shit.
>>630660
But muh lulz anon, are lulz mental illness ?
>>630660
I've shit in 3 geocaches but I grew weary of imagining the reactions so I am currently staking out my latest work from a nearby cliff to view the reaction.
>>633693
film it.
>>633365
> kept me ffrom having to hike to Redrock Crossing for pic
Thanks, anon! That is my least fav hike in Sedona and I was considering it just for threads like these!
>>629464
>spotted the newfag
>>629464
The hell am I reading. I'm not even sure this sounded ok in your head, let alone now after you've gone and typed it out.
>>633005
Well, I've made a braided sling sized for chucking baseball sized rocks, getting anything resembling accuracy is going to take a while, but if I come across a target rich environment it won't matter.
>>633872
Also in Sedona. Now what?
>>634921
anon you need to go jedi kung fu river dance crazy on that shit right now.
Pls post results.

>edgy kids kick over cairns along 50 mile wilderness trail
>the cairns are over 100 years old and are markers for the trail itself
>massive spike in lost hikers until cairns are painstakingly rebuilt
>>635508
those people don't deserve to be out if they can read a topo
>>629357
I'd rather see a cairn than a sticker from a Malaysian Acupuncture imageboard when I'm /out/
>>629259
I find this kinda beautiful. I know it's manmade, but it's like a small cemetery.
>>635508
Never says we can't dismantle them, just can't build em!
>>637150
>Never says we can't dismantle them
>LEAVE THE MOUNTAIN AND ROCKS AS YOU FIND THEM
Pretty sure that is exactly what that means. Don't break down the existing ones, and for fuck's sake, don't build new ones.
>>637150
This is the level of intelligence of the Common Cairn Kicker.
I don't pity them, but it is a bit sad.
>>637219
The cairn kickers are the best of us.
You are an idiot if you cant see that.
>>629227
In the Austrian Alps, cairns used to be path markers, and every time a guide passed one, he'd add a stone to the cairn. That way, you could see how often a trail was used (and thus how difficult it was) by the size of the cairns.
Now that weather-resistant paint exists, and nearly everyone builds cairns anywhere, so they kind of lost their purpose.
>>637238
France is a fag country.
>>637252
How is that relevant to my post, though?
>>633693
I found fucking shit right next to a Geocache a few months back, what the fuck man.
I kick cairn if they are overdone and obviously useless.
>>633583
Kick with your heel you retard.
>>637329
You're a fucking animal.

You the guy who was talking to Lady about slings a while ago? Pics look familiar.
