You WILL not stack the rocks, you WILL knock down the rock stacks, and you WILL save the bugs.
Any ideas on how to protect my rock stacks from these bug-eating sheep? My idea right now is to fortify a decently sized sharp rock stack with a piece of rebar and maybe some cement. It should make these virtue-signaling van lifers think twice before roundhouse kicking my gift to nature for their TikToks.
Build big, stable and far out of the way too. I never took a photo of my cairns, and that's not the point. Building these is a way to mark trails, and express artistic passion.

Funny they want people to tear these down too since many of the older ones are not only trail markers, but have historic significance too. They are centuries old, and I believe this proclamation of destruction is part of an agenda. One which we can see play out with the removal of statues and culture. It's disgusting. Communist tactics. I hate it so much.
>Durr I just tore down a 5 century old monument!
>I are halping 😀
gays.
>OMG LOOK AT ME I MADE A CAIRN TAKE A PIC FOR INSTAGRAM I'M LIKE SO OUTDOORSY
have a nice day you degenerate moron gays
Are you a bot, or illiterate? Neither of us have taken images of cairns we made, and I expressly said I never did (and I never would).
Weak troll. Have a (You)
based
OP is an autistic attention whore, hence him making this bait thread
I hate how they immedtately try to qualify the activity as acceptable just because he says it helps his mental health. Fuck this gay earth
Ikr, he doesn't need to justify shit.
Just do it, just stack the rocks.
>mark trails
The fucking trail marks the trail, moron. If you want to go off trail learn to read a map don't follow random stacked fucknig rocks--that's super retarded.
They aren't monuments and never will be.|
Never ever breed because you're obviously mentally handicapped.
No. Some trails are less traveled, and less obvious. There are much older cairns marking them, and they can be monuments in a way. They have great historical significance and utility for those getting lost.
I hope you learn the difference between something useful, and something vain.
Don't destroy history for the sake of trends. Be careful, is all I'm really trying to say.
You're using "Don't destroy history" as an example, while you're the one responsible for this problem. If you didn't feel a pathological desire to leave your mark on the natural world everywhere you go, then normal cairns with a functional purpose wouldn't be threatened would they.
You're the problem because suddenly cairns can't be trusted as trail markers since you might lead someone up the wrong spur or into a canyon or some dumb shit. You are the problem.
Besides, historical rock stacks look fucking substantial and last a long time, they're not some stupid pile of rock some rocklet gay made to feel his 'creative passion'
>a pathological desire to leave your mark on the natural world everywhere you go
This is not true, anon. I don't do as you claim. Read the post above yours.
I don't build on trails, have not built in a long time and what I build could not be mistaken for a marker.
You missed the point.
> historical rock stacks look fucking substantial and last a long time
Ours could be as well. You have no clue what you are arguing against because you failed to ask for details. Sometimes I build small, other times large.
I do not build where anyone would be, *beaches aside, but then the tide knocks those down, and those are only for playing the balancing game with friends. They are like sand castles in that context and under those conditions. they are not meant to last on the beach, near the waves.
>what happens when some dumbass stacks a pile of rocks in the wrong place and it causes a problem
Citation needed. Never seen anyone build on trails. Rivers, and far out of the way places, sure, but trails? Never happens. Not from what I have seen.
That would be a problem though, we can agree there, but when and where has it happened?
When have people tried to divert others from trails? Sounds like something bandits and muggers might do, but most people build off the trail or on beaches and rivers.
So you don't stack rocks but when you do stack rocks it's where no one is?
in plain English:
I build out of the way
but I have not done so in years
I hope this gets through your translations service intact
if you are a native English speaker, go back to school until words make sense to you. I'm not trying to be mean, but you should be able to understand what I meant
Build what? Rock Stacks?
If you haven't done it in 10 years your not a Rock stacker, just a weirdo
I would again I'm simply too far away from the mountains or shores right now
and I would not care for others destroying them or the works of others
Where are you man? I don't care if you stack rocks or not, do you still go PrepHole?
I'm on the west coast, and sadly no, but I used to. Being poor limits me.
It's fun, I like this life well enough, but I miss nature, and water...
We all have things that could be better in our lives, but I'm grateful for what I have.
Yeah true, I can relate actually my year hasn't been great. I hope you get yourself somewhere that makes you feel good dude, may a rock stack lead the way.
building with rocks kills amphibians
that's why we don't like it
pick a location that isn't amphibian habitat to minimize your impact
Retard I encourage you to find the trail on Asgard's Pass without cairns
Ever heard of a map?
Or GPS?
Yeah cairns will mark the route in places where you need to follow a very specific route or you could well end up very fucked. Like literally if you doing go from one cairn to the next you will end up off a cliff somewhere. It might be okay on a nice sunny day but if the weather is shit you wont be able to see anything for anything, but you can see the cairn. Those are the exact conditions where you don't want to get lost.
Exactly, some are important trial markers then you fuckwhits go and stack them everywhere else. Ypu're the problem here.
>Ypu're the problem here.
I'm not doing as you claim. I am not building on or near trails, and have not built anything in well over a decade.
What am I doing? Advocating for preserving history? Building small nature shrines out of the way?
There's no problem there.
Knocking over centuries old monuments for attention is a problem.
Yeah I use cairn trails often, they're very helpfull. So what happens when some dumbass stacks a pile of rocks in the wrong place and it causes a problem. Which is highly likely considering rock stackers are the kind of idiot who would do this.
Sounds like a your problem.
I'm going to stack rocks extra high tonight when I get off work.
I knock down centuries-old monuments and rebuild them bigger and on animal tracks. Get a compass and print a topo map, fags.
>I'm gonna git them Stackers!!!11
"stackers" aren't real rock cuck, we just like shitting your autism.
OP seems against knocking them down, and said he wants to preserve his own cairns. Is everyone here unable to read? Or is English not native to you?
It's weird.
It reads like a retard pretending to be his imaginary antagonist.
I don't even know anymore. There's so many people that shouldn't be welcome on PrepHole, and barely anyone's willing to help me chase them off when I try, not that I'm trying here.
Oh well. I'm probably going to get banned for what I'm saying to a subversive fucker on another blue board right now.
>"stackers" aren't real
Right, that’s why pic related doesn’t exist
Oh wait, there’s actually lots of cases like this
>I can't tell the difference between social media and real life.
yeah that's why everyone likes to fuck with you and provoke your freakouts.
Are you saying all the pictures like that are CGI or something?
Wtf are you talking about?
I’ve come across 5 or 6 heavily stacked areas just like this in the past couple years, and I only go on like three multi-day trips a year with another 10 or so overnights
>I’ve come across 5 or 6 heavily stacked areas
we know you don't go outside.
I still don't get how they kill bugs
>Stacking rocks in my passion
Cairn-builders and cairn-knocker-downers are like pro-skub and anti-skub
much like real life its more nuanced than that
most see context and location and know what to do and not to do based on it
it's autists who think getting mad about rocks makes them not autistic, and the people trolling them.
being mad about rocks is silly
but as i said most real people are more nuanced, and just make proper choices based on the context of the situation and location
>being mad about rocks is silly
hence the trolling.
this shit isn't deep son.
never claimed it was deep anon
i do more than just kick over rocks to help my local amphibian populations. salamanders are one of my favorite animals and the animal which originally got me into herps. simple as.
I will destroy your faggy little rock stack and there is nothing you can do about it
film it for clout too, and stroke your dick at the same time then shit your pants and howl at the sky
it'll be funny
do it
yeah, kicking rocks gives me an erection, so what? just let people enjoy things, stupid
I don't give a shit what californians do in their tourist traps, but it'd be funny to "trap" a cairne. Like someone tries kicking it, but it sets off a landmine. Lmao!
these should just be to mark trails or make a fort out of stacked rocks or walls. the gay ones near rivers etc are just that gay
