And then your hip would break because their medical staff is garage and they don’t have the same regulations as over so no you’re back to square one you fucking tool

[ksylofonimandariini]

that is american propaganda used to justify their lack of a working healthcare system. it’s not true and even if it was what good would having slightly better healthcare do if it’s only accessible by the richest members of society?

[valendeln]

You absolute fucking clown. Lmao

Damn. Spains healthcare sure isnt garage like they said

Awh, I always thought they were so pretty and had no idea they could be harmful

Can someone transcribe this? The water is really loud.

“Hey everybody! Here we are in the southern Appalachian mountains. We have a pristine Montane stream ecosystem, as you can see all around us here. I thought I’d make an educational video this morning. It involves this practice right here [gestures to rock pile]. As our national parks and national forests fall victim to human pressure, more than ever, this is something we’re seeing more and more of. Hopefully we can make this video go viral. This stream, as you can see around us right here, is a breeding ground for North America’s largest salamander, the Eastern hellbender. They can get up to 2.5-3 feet long. It’s part of our natural heritage in the eastern United States. When people do this right here - what they consider to be art - they’re actually destroying the breeding ground for the Eastern hellbender salamander. The Eastern hellbender will use flat rocks such as these to make nesting sites in these streams. So here’s what I would like everybody to do. If you care about our Montane stream freshwater ecosystems like this one around us here, when you see something like this, this is what I recommend doing: [kicks down rock pile]. Take the rocks, throw them back into the stream. The Eastern hellbender utilizes rocks like this. It actually feels pretty good to do this! [walks to other pile] This is not actually art, okay? This is destruction of our freshwater ecosystems. So I would like to encourage everyone: when you see this [gestures to second rock pile], do this! [kicks pile] I’d like to return our streams to their natural state for the organisms that live here. Thanks, and have a good day.”

also! don’t do this on beaches! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newyorker.com/culture/rabbit-holes/people-are-stacking-too-many-stones/amp

[thesearchforbluejello]

Fantastic! Yes! They're very harmful to many ecosystems and should never be considered art!

BUT

If you see one of these rock piles on an established trail, do NOT for the love of god kick it over. In places where a trail forks or moves over features like talus fields, trail crews sometimes build cairns to mark the trail where spray painted blazes can't be used or would be easily missed (e.g. on rocks that commonly become wet, painted blazes are harder to see).

There are multiple takeaways here:

1) Making cairns yourself is BAD. Don't do it.

2) Cairns are not ever properly used in rivers.

3) If you see a cairn on a trail, LEAVE IT. If it does need to be removed, the trail crews working for the National Forest Service/NPS/AMC/whatever or Rangers will remove it when they do trail work.

If you only ever read one post of mine, please make it this one. YESTERDAY my mom and I were hiking in the Pemigewasset Wilderness of New Hampshire, and on the trail we hiked there was a fork with half marked by a cairn so hikers knew to go the right way to pick up the blazed trail. If someone had removed that we probably would have been fine because there was an old logging road on the other side eventually leading to the road going through the notch, but elsewhere that could have killed us. It's very easy to get lost in wilderness, and no matter how prepared or experienced you are it can prove fatal.

TL;DR, please note this statement by the National Park Service.

(I am aware this statement specifically is from NPS, but this goes for your National Forests, State Forests, etc as well.)

A good cairn, built by a trail crew to mark the trail ascent over open face granite on the Baldface Loop over North and South Baldface in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I took this when we summited in 2018.

[sneakyfeets]

Yeah for real cairns are necessary on trails
