Are people really relying on randomly stacked rocks to determine where they are like it's the 1800's

Navigation cairns are 3 or 4 feet tall and weigh hundreds and hundreds of pounds, they're basically immovable and no one would mistake a retards little stone stack for one. Not that I support building (((cairns)))

Cairns for trail marking shouldnt be more than 3 or 4 hand sized rocks, not these tower monstrosities

They can be very useful in certain kinds of terrain (like attached pic). Not useful on actual trails though.

Cairns are essential for above-treeline travel, especially in the snow. Blazes are frequently painted onto the rocks but under a layer of snow and ice that doesn't do you any good.

People seething about stacked rocks is one of the most autistic things I have ever encountered. Gladly this is just an online thing. Nobody who actually goes out irl cares.

i enjoy that instead of just 1 ylyl/humor thread on a board /out/ takes things further and has several entire threads that are jokes like getting angry at rocks or tricking people into carrying massive bags of their own shit

Why are you faggots so obsessed with this shit

I know this might come as a shock to you but they generally don't put giant wifi towers balls deep in the wilderness so one or two hikers can use them.Your signal isn't magical wizard technology that goes everywhere you do no matter what. It requires a massive amount of infrastructure to actually work and in the deep wilderness, unless you're hauling a fucking satellite with you, it's probably not going to work.So yes we're using the stuff that's worked for thousands of years to mark paths notable areas. If that bothers you, then you need to go touch grass, because you're so hopelessly domesticated that you're going to probably die during your next local power outage.

If you've done enough hiking, you'll know that in certain areas like really rocky areas it becomes very hard to see the trail. People use rocks to mark the trail in that case. It works. People use logs and rocks and shit to show where the path goes when it meets a point that also looks like it could be the path but isn't.
