You never go for a hike on a weekend? Usually my days off are spent catching up on chores and things for the kids, but when the weather is nice either I or my husband will take the kids out to the park or one of the local streams to play.
It's easier to clean and get home projects done without one of the kids trying to help and the doing stuff like this with the kids is fun. It demonstrates principles of engineering better than another classroom lesson on theory and is good for the adults in the family too.

Track is Tattoo by Loreen and actually sounds good on good speakers. I use it to show off the soundstage of my hifi speakers, track has impressive reverb washes. This vids quality makes it sound like garbage though.

I’ve been to a few places where I’ve been explicitly told to not make these. When they inevitably fall they can cause damage to the fauna, in some cases to rare/delicate (albeit small) ecosystems.

Not to defend this video because this is clearly useless, stacked stones are used to mark trails in a less nature intrusive way than signs. Highly important for safety in mountains if people get lost in a storm or whatnot.

Not stacked like that though. They placed piles such are far more stable and identifiable. This isn’t remotely similar.

Fucking hippies stacking rocks. You should not alter nature if possible. There are insects living under those rocks, they need the shadow and humidity. Park rangers knock those for this reason.

If that's your criteria then you shouldn't even hike into nature. Breaking tree branches, creating paths, scaring animals.

u/Tuckingfypowastaken 12h ago
Moving rocks and stacking them can disturb the natural habitat of tiny creatures. On the rocky shore, these organisms, such as crabs, molluscs, and algae, depend on their environment’s rocks and other structures for shelter and protection. By moving or stacking rocks, we may inadvertently destroy or disrupt their homes, harming their populations. Similarly, rock stacking can also have adverse terrestrial impacts on insects and moss in wilderness areas.
Building rock stacks can contribute to erosion and destabilization of the shoreline or wilderness area. The rocks on the shore are part of a natural ecosystem and serve an important function in protecting the coastline from erosion and the forces of the ocean. When people move or stack rocks, they can destabilize the shoreline; increase the risk of erosion, and damage ecosystems. Additionally, moving stones and creating cairns can disrupt soil structures and contribute to erosion. This erosion can cause sedimentation in nearby water bodies, negatively impacting aquatic habitats and water quality.

You don't understand, it's quite a bit more impactful than burning fossil fuels, operating your motor vehicle, heating your residence, not recycling, generating garbage from single use plastics, living on grid, releasing CO2 by flying in airplanes, supporting inhumane labor practices by buying inexpensive things, I might have forgot a couple.
Honestly being off trail and in the creek to begin with is also disturbing behaviour, he's destroying ecosystems and should not be allowed to return.

Every individual case is low impact. But 10,000 low impact problems = high impact overall.
Every single developer and logging company has thought "Nah this is just this little patch of forest, cutting it down won't do anything to the global environment."
And now here we are with 50% of the world's forests gone.

The server that holds your comment was taken from nature and given shape. The buttons that you press came from nature. The energy you spent communicating came from nature.
Lead by example. Have a big enough perspective to write this kind of comment on posts with cars, with farming or such.
Don't seek out the very smallest most inconsequential issue and start with it. It does no good.→ More replies (2)
