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 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.

On wilder mountaineering trails that have no official signposts or paint markers cairns of various sizes are often used as markers.Usually this is only in the T5-T6 difficulty trails, or stuff that is considered alpinism.

I have been hiking in Norway through Hardangervidda and cairns there were super helpful if you get into whiteout or just super bad weather these can be very helpful. Tho the cairns there were like 2 meters high towers and not just some small pile of rocks

Small rock stacks can be very useful. In my country some trails maintained by mountain villagers existed up until the 50's but are now abandoned. Some of these are extremely steep and dangerous. Seeing one or two stacked rocks occasionally helped me identify the old path from a boar/deer trail and allowed me not to die

There's fucking hundreds of gay rock stacks at niest point on the isle of Skye. I spent an evening drinking wine and kicking them over a few years ago. Cairns are good for navigation. Gay rock stacks are for kicking.

I climbed Ben Nevis in dense fog and the only way I didn't walk off the mountain was by walking from cairn to cairn that I could barely make out in the fog. They make sense in certain environments where there is no trail and it's all rocky, like the top of Ben Nevis. Places they don't make sense is green tree covered places, which is where moron normies always build themPic related
