These things are great!

I love corns. There's nothing more satisfying than leaving you're mark after a tough hike. Like saying to the world "I was here! I did it!"
This thread is bad. You should be ashamed.
>>1071606
yeah. Me and the SO make them all the time!
>>1071617
>corns
That's not even how you say it wtf
>>1071647
Quirnes?
>>1071647
Yeah huh.
>>1071606
Why do americans hate these? Was it autism?
>>1071699
Not just muricans. A lot of people dislike the fact the some idiots feels the need to leave their mark on the out doors with psuedo-artistic, Instagram tier, foolishness. On top of this they distract from real cairns that are used as waymarks in some parts of the world.
>>1071606
I love knocking them down.
I like to imagine they're trail markers and once I destroy them some poor sap will be completely lost because they can't navigate and don't remember which way they came.
>>1071647
Cunes?
>>1071647
how to say it then?
>>1071905
it's okay they're just for some hippie fag's instagram feed
I disperse the cunts, they look shit, serve no purpose so I chuck the rocks all in different directions
>>1072206
This. I fucking hate when people leave these. Knock 'em down every time.
>>1072206

>>1071702
you need to stop using this site
>>1072327
indeed
>>1071651
It's spelled cairn.
>>1071606
Get on my level, Anon
>>1071606
well played.
but yeah no knock these fuckers over every time. the whole reason i go out is to NOT see man-made bullshit. the only reason to have them is as markers on a difficult mountain climb.
>>1071606
I enjoy making small ones on private land so I can practice my Carin Kicking game.
>>1071702
>not just Americans hate that
No. They literally festoon the local beaches in Aruba interspersed with Heineken or balashi beer bottles.
The islander myth was that the higher you can build one the more life force you get. It's really gay and no self respecting American should be doing this like island niggers do.
Rock towers are common in Iceland. Built by Vikings for navigation. They are more than one rock wide though. Tourists always build shitty gay ones and ruin the mystique of finding the real ones.

More like it's autism to build them.
Don't make cairns unless you are marking something for other hikers. They are meant to signal things as trail markers. Cairns aren't for art you autist.
BTW if you see cairns set up as artwork, do everyone a favor and smash the fuckers.
Cairns are fine if they serve a purpose such as making a trail above the treeline or if they do in fact mark something significant such as a grave or summit. It shouldn't be art
>get campsite on an island
>somebody made an inukshuk style cairn on a rock directly next to the campsite marker
>sparta kick it into the lake
The real fun isn't building them
>>1073925
Fall them, when you come upon.
OP here, I have found cancer in Norway
>>1072710
Kerns?
So the insects that had shelter below those rocks? What about them? Fuck them?
You're cancer to nature.
>>1076497
Yup.
Fuck em.
>>1076497
Now they are food for something else.
>>1076120
Doesn't this literally meet the definition of autism?
Are there any real purpose to these other than bringing man made aesthetic to an area where there wouldn't be any otherwise?
>>1076606
Originally they were used to mark trails in mountains. Can even be seen in a decent amount of snow.
>>1076606
For attracting autism to /out/
>>1076120
Personally, I'd build a fence and a hut.
