>>1828473>>1829141I hike out to the middle of nowhere to get away from people not see little reminders of them everywhere. It's better than trash or whatever but it's still visual clutter. Plus, cairns are supposed to serve an actual purpose as trail markers or to denote a summit on a plateau. They can't do that if people have erected them everywhere for no reason.
Autistically speaking, there's also the fact that normies build them to post on Instagram about how outdoorsy and zen they are. A double contradiction sure to enrage any chanposter.
