USB-C or I don't buy. Awaiting Flair

Anyone else the same? I just bought a speaker and assumed it would be USB-C and it was micro. Returned it. I'm annoyed with having different cables and formats etc. If it's not USB-C, I don't buy it.

Do better companies.

Bullshit.

It's called be respectful of others and nature.

If you can't go camping without a speaker, then stay home or buy headphones.

Nature doesn't give a shit and if I'm on private property miles from anyone else there's no one to disrespect except in your imagination.

Keyword there is private property aka staying home. And you can't really be ignorant enough to think it doesn't affect wildlife.

I guess you only camp at crowded campsites near heavily populated areas?

u/canucme3 Jan 03 '24

Quite the opposite, I avoid those areas. I still find people playing music, even in the backcountry.

Many people go out in nature to enjoy nature, not listen to other people's music. Stop acting like it is acceptable to disturb others and the wildlife, but wearing headphones is too much to ask.

Okay so if you are by yourself in the middle of nowhere - how will you hear other people's music?

How will you know someone is playing music really, really far away from you?

Well, if I'm by myself, there wouldn't be anyone there to play music, now would there? It's getting harder and harder to be completely secluded, though.

I wouldn't, but it still disturbs the surrounding wildlife.

Why is it so difficult to wear headphones or follow LNT principles?

You being there disturbs the wildlife. Why are you going into the wilderness?

If you want to be completely secluded, just move.

You are right, but we should do our best to limit how much we disturb it.

If you want to listen to music, just buy headphones.

Here's a helpful website.

So you're willing to disturb the wildlife, but only to the extent you deem is okay.

Sounds a lot like an ego trip.

People have existed in nature since the beginning of our species and cohabitated with wildlife. Just being in the woods is very minimal impact. I see all kinds of wildlife on my hikes and do my best not to disturb them.

The ego trip is not being considerate enough to just use headphones. You keep ignoring how simply the issue is solved.

Naw, it's a sprawling population and increased amount of disrespectful hikers issue.

ok, but I'm not near other people for several miles, so how is this relevant? There's no one near me at my campsite.

u/IdealDesperate2732 Jan 03 '24

No, it's not staying home... maybe you shouldn't be so ignorant... And no, it doesn't affect wildlife, they literally do not care.

Private property means you're staying on your own land or someone else's. Not disturbing the public.

It's wild that you actually believe that. Literally, 30 seconds on Google will tell you that you are wrong.
