Why the FUCK aren't you faggots ruining cairns right now. Give me one good reason.

Your soft bitch hands probably couldn't even if you tried

Which way are the picking going? Left to right or right to left? Is he building it or taking it down?
I can't find them under the snow?
>>678061
man i would love to don a snow ghillie suit and fuck around in there
Because blair witch project
>>678069
you would die
>>677218
Because I'm at work.
>>678079
w-why
Why do people keep forcing this stupid meme, the only people who would go around ruining cairns are too autistic to leave the house.
>>678122
more autistic than people who make cairns?
Cairns are actually originally trail markers that are made in areas so rocky that you can't wear a trail that people can follow, so the cairns mark the correct path.
I can't be held responsible for what autists like to do with their spare time though.
>>678136
cairns are like ethnic minorities in any given society. there are "the good ones" and then there are 'the shit ones" that need to be booted.
>>678149
>being a leftist
Off to >>Reddit w/ you
>>678061
Alaska fag detected
>>678122
autistic people go out too. There is no other way to explain some cairns
>>678256
Took this one Wednesday, thinking of you /out/

I hope there's a third photo in the series where you smiash it right
>>678131
Cairn's are usually burial spots you dingus.
Enjoy your ghosts.
>>678269
Stone Golem giving you the finger.

ah shit this explains a lot

Where I live, it's pretty much always some jackass white kid who flew onto the island the day before.
>>678311
>>678142
Another argument is that if I put you into a house full of snakes and told you to live there for one night and that the majority of the snakes were non poisonous you'd still be wary. Sand toads and regular toads are the same way. You're probably a white boy who gets off on his women getting ficki ficki by mud cock.

rofl sick fleece bro
>First time taking girlfriend out
>Shes only been to parks and stuff to this point
>Asks whats up with the rock piles
>Tell her it's something people used to do for trail markers that people just do for fun now
>"Thats stupid, i'm gonna kick em over"
The cairns that people are complaining about, are they just random stacks of rocks placed wherever?
I ask, because in many places, such as the Pyrenees, cairns are used in lieu of blazes. Why would you destroy these?
>>678079
Why would he die?
>>678457
You must be new here.
Kick rocks faggot.
>>678453
if it weren't your hand I'd kick her in the tits.
Fictitious gf's are soooo cute
I can't right now, snow is too deep. This is my last one, from September.
>walking along a trail
>cairns fucking everywhere along it
>like seriously the moment i reach one i find another down the trail
>these aren't little frail ones neither they're like 500 lb slabs!
>takes ages to knock each one over and bury them in debris
No need to thank me just doing my job
>>678525
But seriously though I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal about these things. If they're not trail markers just scatter the rocks and move on. If you pay them any mind they win.
>>678532
an elk looks nothing like a person in a ghillie suit, nevermind any other woodland creature. but i suppose gunfags would start shooting blindly into the bush before they're even able to see what's in there
>>678540
Yeah, regardless of what the animal being hunted looks like, people will not be wary of just firing at anything that's moving. It's not uncommon for hunting accidents to take place this way.
>>678457
We call them ducks here
Kicking them over is a inside joke here because most posters never go /out/, and when they do, they stay in the parking lot at the trailhead playing with their knives
>>678554
well that's pretty fucked m8
>>678488
Not going to deny my real love is my hand but I did find a GF to pump a load into every once in a while
>>678567
>hiking in jeans
>kicking / punching them over
Are you too retarded to use the blunt side of your axe?
>>678568
>Not hiking in jeans
>>678567
dem looks like muh boots.
>>677218
I built a cairn on a hike I went on this weekend. It was in remembrance of my mother, who had her ashes spread along the entire mountain range that I was hiking, built in a spot we would often stop to overlook a valley.
>>677218
>those bitch hands
>>678944
My condolences, anon. That sounds like a fitting tribute to a special /out/ lady.
>>678957
/thread
OP you are 8.
>>677218
Kicked one over today with witnesses dont give a fuck!
>>677218
I'm too busy not giving a fuck, that's why.
>>678540
Just FYI about a month ago some fucking tard in my neighborhood was dressed like that and managed to get himself shot.
They make people wear orange in hunting areas around here for that exact reason.
>>679321
>wear orange
people are dumb, most think orange is for visibility to other hunters. It isn't. Deer are colorblind and cannot see orange so it is in essence, camo making you invisible to the deer & other woodland creatures that are colorblind.
... the more you know ...
>>679326
If deer are colorblind, then your color choice is irrelevant, for the deer. Wear the damn orange.
And to quote what one of the DNR guys specifically stated when I had to take one of their classes a week ago-
"Wear the orange so you don't get shot, and so we can find you more easily if you get hurt out there."
>>679326
the orange is to make you nonvisible to deer WHILE being übervisible to people.
also I'm the anon who wanted to frolick in the snow with a ghillie suit. there wasn't going to be any sort of weapon or menacing behavior involved
Too large and numerous. Occasionally very useful.
OP if your old enough to post here then you have the most low-t hands iv ever seen I'm my life.
>>679326
You're a girl aren't you?

cairn kicking is now actively encourage in my area...

>Deer are colorblind and cannot see orange, so it makes you invisible
Just because they see you in grey doesn't make you invisible, you retard.
I really don't understand the mentality of people who like to do this. What goes through your head when you make that decision? Do you just not think at all?
>haha look at this thing that someone made haha im going to knock it down for no reason haha
>>680179
I've never knocked a cairn down, but they do confuse people when they aren't used as trail markers, and they're almost as dumb as carving your name in a tree when they are made without purpose.
>>678320
>jew box
>unironically using the word 'diaspora'
dont even pick one. just get out.
>>678540
>gunfags
>shooting blindly into the bush
this is what nofuns actually believe.
check your target folks
>>680356
There's a lot of idiots out there. Some of them hunt. You don't need to defend them.
>>680079
It never stops surprising me that people don't get that
>>678320
>some people are brainwashed enough to believe this
Wew lad I hope you be trollin
I'm gonna start spray-painting deer blaze orange so no one will shoot them.
>>680470
but then they will be invisible to each other D:
>>680373
but i will defend myself against being tarred with the same brush. they are a minority.
>>680179
I really don't understand the mentality of people who like to do this. What goes through your head when you make that decision? Do you just not think at all?
>haha I can't believe I'm in this forest right now and there's no one to witness me haha I'd better stack these rocks to let everyone else know that I was here and commemorate my marvelous achievement haha
>>680504
i've been told it's part of some faggot pagan thing to do with balance and harmony, if they want balance in the world then they should do some real research into the ecosystems that they're in and how to best preserve them
>>680356
>>680492
Just because you're a rational human being who knows basic gun safety doesn't mean that people don't go out there shooting at noises. It's happened, and it continues to happen. Might not happen often but it's not really worth the risk to die because someone else is a drooling retard.
No intent to generalize gunfags, just a realistic safety measure.
>>680504
Same thing goes with kicking them. You're taking time out of your hike to do something involving stacks of rocks.
>hey look, some rocks. maybe I should stop and take a break and stack them. this takes me back to playing outside as a kid.
>hey look, someone stacked some rocks. they're not gonna miss it if I kick them over! haha that was fun, takes me back to destroying shit as a kid.
I appreciate both.
>>680543
>but i suppose gunfags would start shooting blindly into the bush before they're even able to see what's in there
>No intent to generalize gunfags
well fucking don't then
Fallen down tree near the entrance of a national trust site. People have been writing their names on it for around 20-30 years. I played on this tree as a kid 20 years ago.
Last time I went up, someone had gone at it with a stick.

It took a lot of people coming together individually and over time, to create that as a landmark and as something to share in. Because of all the people over all the years, it was something special. And one person, one lone fuckwit ruins the whole thing.
You anon have tapped-into the real issue at the core of cairn kicking. We can all enjoy the outdoors together, by keeping within a mutual respect. No one person deserves to be the special one. It's arrogant. This is why cairns bother people. Building a shitty monument to yourself in the middle of nature, National/State Park, etc? It's fucking arrogant. Building cairns is literally as offensive as littering or destroying the guestbook tree
>>682626
>Building cairns is literally as offensive as littering
No.
>>682554
It looks like an animal did that.

>putting stickers on everything, including their front door
>so insecure they need to always tell you
>>683274
>What's a blaze?
painted or colored ribbon trail markings. areas above the treeline, and/or with harsh changing climates need something more permanent and eminently visible, like a stone cairn. you'll understand immediately when you're hiking in ice, snow drifts, sand dunes, fog, etc.
these type are important, permanent, sanctioned, life-saving cairns. not shitty hipster rockpiles. and as a side note, any dumb Æ’aggot who piles their own cairns on mountain tops etc should be boiled in their own spaghettios for creating a misleading hazard for others
>>683289
Thanks anon
>>683266
Yea.
It's the downside.
Look at it from the nations perspective.. You need a large group of people whos job is to get off an assault craft/boat and charge a machine gun & heavy defenses.
Most people would think it would be impossible to find willing participants in this endeavour. But, over the millennia humans have found a way to control others in tricky ways..
One of those ways is to go for pride & honor and patriotism. Really sell it to the masses, YOU ARE THE FEW & THE PROUD for example. Sell the group as being a place for only a select few people. build up the tradition & respect of this group. Their minds get so caught up in the regimentation that they forget their ultimate purpose is to die on some alien beach so The President, members of Congress, and all the other fat cats in DC can keep having 3 star Michelin dinners in the evening and great sex that night with high dollar 17YO ladies of the evening provided by the lobbists.
The downside is that once these guys get out, they still have that crap wired into their system.. The only way to get it out is with a crowbar and a fast heavy swing to the side of the skull.
>>679326
>most think orange is for visibility to other hunters. It isn't.
A-are you retarded?
>>683328
Wow, I thought I was going to catch a lot of shit for that comment.
Your post was a bit hyperbolic but in general I agree.
Unless you were being sarcastic but I didn't detect it.
