Anon... you just don't go outside. Why is that?

>>2871245
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)))

are people really relying on paint on trees to determine where they are like its the stone age

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.
