Our struggle sessions are years ahead of the mainstream.

Cairns are a really mixed bag in the Rockies. Alpine ecosystems can take decades or even centuries to regenerate. Having a cairn on a poorly marked trail can be really helpful and is more naturalistic than signage while offloading the burden of the rangers to maintain those signs. Where it's used to mark a specific established path, a cairn is good. Most cairns up there don't though. People go off-trail to collect rocks that are established crevice habitat, then put them in an ornamental cairn for a photo. Others take more rocks and add to it, each one furthering the ecological degradation. People who do follow cairns as trail markers are then incentivised to go off-trail which can compound the damage or risk their injury.

I dismantle any I see that aren't for pathfinding.

critical support to this guy in his war against little stacks of rocks. men need hobbies

Will the commies choose to respect nature and to leave parks intact for future visitors, or a few moments of atomized self gratification? The answer may surprise you!

I think the shit is pretty pointless myself but I'm too worried about bills and whatnot to give a rip about stacks of rocks so whatever.

Actually pisses me off that people are dismantling centuries-old walls for a photo on their fucking insta timeline

There was a rock stacking struggle session?

I want to be as unambiguous as possible: I am pro rock.

🪨 i like the old man the frogs thank you

It Canada it's a bit of a contentious issue because Inuksuks are being put up constantly outside the Arctic areas they come from, and by people with no connection to Inuit or other northern traditions.

Oh no, not an old wall in Darbyshire!

Truly the greatest problem of our time.
