I don't want to hear other people's music anywhere in public. Don't force your music on me.
But in nature it's much worse. Noise pollution is harmful to wildlife. Why would you go out to enjoy nature while at the same time harming it?

But in nature it’s much worse. Noise pollution is harmful to wildlife.
This is why I absolutely hate fireworks. They’re terrible for domestic pets (commonly cats, dogs) due to their increased sensitive hearing. Wildlife is dramatically impacted. Birds abandon their nests, and some have even been recorded fleeing in terror and flying over the ocean - where they become too exhausted with no land to land on, so they drown. Other animals of course are terrorised and flee their homes in terror. Commonly, families get separated.
I fucking hate fireworks. They’re so damn annoying, and are traumatising to innocent animals.
If persons want to celebrate holidays, go to professional drone shows. They’re far better, quieter, and much cooler than bullshit fireworks. Fuck fireworks.

Ugh, if you think the cats and dogs have it bad, you should see farm animals. Every single July 5th/January 1 for me was spent rounding up horses and cattle because it was inevitable that fences would get broken. Luckily I wasn't good friends with the vet at the time, or I would have been even more sickened by how many large animals he would have to treat or put down.
-
I agree fuck fireworks, but also I was shocked to discover that my cat loves the damn things. On July 4th she was sitting at every window trying to watch them. This is the same cat who sprints out of the room the moment she even sees a vacuum

I guess that's the joke. The playlist has 0 minutes because people don't want to hear any music from one's bluetooth speaker while hiking.
-
That's the joke, but the comments are going both ways on this issue.
-
Yes, that was the joke.

Because there are large wild animals such as bison, boar, and elk where i hike. It lets unseen animals know I'm near also my preferred trails have very few other people on them.

4'33" by John Cage would be an acceptable addition to this playlist.
-
Nothing would be an acceptable addition to this playlist. I hope a mountain lion hears the contents of your playlist.

I like listening to other people's music when in nature about as much as I enjoy seeing their initials and who they love forever scrawled onto a rock or tree on an otherwise pristine mountain vista. That is, not at all. Fuck those people.
-
They should have uploaded their own 8 hour silence track and gotten some Spotify revenue out of the stunt.
-
I imagine they put the kibosh on that after Vulfpeck gamed it

I'm from a country with lots of bears, the mountain rescue authority here encourages having speakers with music playing. Bear bells are pretty much useless, but wildlife is pretty good at picking up human voices. If I'm going hiking alone I periodically yell out random words.
-
That reminds me of how I was taught to determine which bears are local, by examinimg bear droppings:
- Black Bear: berries and nuts
- Polar bear: fish, seal, rabbit meat
- Grizzly bear: bear bells, bits of Bluetooth speaker, RIA merchandise fabric, bike pedals
-
"Smells faintly of pepper spray"

This is the recommendation for most places. People just dont want to accept that its safe and want to view you as an asshole.

I feel like this post is more for the trails which are highly unlikely to have bears and have high foot traffic.
I’ve been to Yosemite and walked past people blasting music up a paved trail packed with people to Vernal Falls. There’s no danger of a bear coming for anyone on that trail. I’ve gone on trail runs in the middle of a city park and will come across people who have to blast their music while on a hike. It’s not a common experience, but noticeable.
If you’re hiking through backwoods trails with real bear danger, chances are, you’re not even encountering someone else to be bothered by your music. Does it suck to hike behind someone listening to really bad techno and having to listen to it at the viewpoint? Yeah, yeah it does.

In Québec all provincial parks (SÉPAQ) ban music on speakers. Trails and campgrounds. Those parks have somewhat strict rules, like you also can't use "mood lights" or decorative lights, but it helps to make the stay a bit more calm.
It's one of the things that you notice once you're in a camping or in a trail where that rule doesn't exist. I went to camp in a provincial park in Ontario last year and it felt weird to hear people's radios while cycling through the campgrounds.
-
Like.... FM broadcast radios?
Weird.
-
-
The actual playlist is as horrible as I imagined.
-
It seems ironic, even though I like a few songs on the list
-
My wife’s like this. We’ll go camping in the middle of nowhere and the first thing she does is get out a Bluetooth speaker. I came here to listen to the silence and the birds and the trees, not the same music we were listening to in the car.

There's a guy in our bike club that always rides with music playing via a bluetooth speaker mounted on his handlebars.
I understand where he's coming from - when I ride indoor, I always have music going. I'd understand playing music while riding solo outside, even though I don't do it. I'm mostly okay with his playlist, too.
But to play music while riding with a bunch of other people? Are they not interesting enough for him? It's hard enough to hear each other if we want to chat without music playing. And if someone calls out a safety item (car back, hole, debris, etc.) he and others near him are less likely to hear the call, so there's a potential effect on safety as well.
Fortunately, I've gotten fast enough that he's never in my ride group any more.
-
This is like the exact case that bone conducting headphones are for. You can hear everything, and no one has to hear your music.
I also have some earbuds that have a passthrough mode, but I wouldn't trust them to stay in while running or biking.

I feel this same way about people who blast music from their motorcycle. I ride a Harley, too. It's fun, and I get it, music enhances the experience.
You don't want to hear my music, so I wear earbuds. I don't want to hear your shitty butt rock, so please do the same.
-
Same with folks who straight pipe their exhausts, or get the crappy sounding aftermarket exhausts. I hate it, but smile at both, knowing they're slowly going deaf.
For those who don't know how loud things are on a motorcycle (before adding in music loud enough to be heard over wind noise) even when in a full face helmet. That was just a decent quality blurb about it. There are better quality tests of sound levels inside helmets if you want to find them.

I don't want to hear any music while I'm cycling or walking. I want to hear the birds chirping and the trees and brush moving in the wind. It's one of the best things about being outside. Unplugging and just enjoying nature.

the problem isn't listening to music on a speaker in public. The problem is that 99% of the people who do so put it on max volume all of the time.
If you're out in the middle of nowhere and there's no traffic noise to compete with, then 10% volume is probably louder than you need to hear it and also not bother others on the trail.
-
correct! when i do this, which is already an exception, I play it so I can hear it while on my chair... if you hear it, you are close enough to be a sex partner
-
This is for everything though. At 4am in an empty parking lot, who fucking cares how you park. At 5pm rush hour? Get real.
Being considerate of others is a must. Don't inconvenience everyone else because you're too fucking stupid to do things correctly or at least show a little considerarion.

people who have bluetooth speakers that they use in public are just assholes that are begging for a confrontation but in reality are people who have never been smacked in the mouth before.
They REALLY want you to say something to them.
-
but I would walk, 500 miles, just to hear your, bluetooth stereo.
-
Pretty much anything should be there imo. Doesn't even matter if I dislike the music. The only exceptions would be things like nazi BS.
-
Come on, if this starts playing at full volume at rush hour
-
The worst was the guy I ran into doing switchbacks gradually down the length of a fire trail while listening to some podcast where guys yacked about football except it was half Starbucks ads. After the fifth time he passed me in twenty minutes I started making passive agressive comments about the invention of earbuds. Don't know why he couldn't just run either the entire thing or the same part of the trail but he was effectively bracketing me for a good chunk of time.

Not even trail songs by Marty Robbins? :c
