Songs people on the trail want to hear from your bluetooth speaker

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?
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
Most of my cats have adored them, when they were able to see them instead of just being subjected to the noise. I can't imagine how wild the experience must be for a creature with only the barest capacity for abstract conceptualization. The great grand-pappy of all laser pointers has shown up, and the humans are fighting him? It's absolute horror movie shit when they couldn't see them, though.
Dogs, they've all hated them. Even my deaf pupper Godog was real wary of whatever the hell was going on out there.
(Edit: I mentioned this to my sister and she's reminded me that phoebe and godog both were absolutely mad for daytime fireworks, even once knocking out a window so they could go catch one of the smoke parachutes that was drifting down the beach. I think it was that all the kids were out there clearly having fun with the daytime ones - they were always game for groups of small humans doing anything and would get caught up in the excitement of any event. I now fondly remember one of them getting ahold of a large smoke canister during a photoshoot and leading us all on a merry chase, damned chaos gremlins. I miss them.)
My parent's cat turns into a pitiful mess during new year's eve.
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.
Was at the lake and the amount of people who think we want to listen to their bullshit music is to much. Why I hate camping around people. They go to nature and then ruin it with thier loud music.
In my part of the world you'll often get campers blasting the radio. Imagine retreating to nature so you can listen to vapid commentary and ads.
If I were a bear, I would attack.
If there are other people, you likely mean a campground which is not retreating to nature. Campgrounds are very unnatural manipulated outdoor spaces.
Hopefully you have real wilderness near you where camping is allowed in places you could likely not encounter other humans. Highly recommend the experience if so. It makes campgrounds feel like trailer parks in comparison.
Around here, "campground" can mean anything from a powered site to a patch of dirt at the end of a trail. You'll find these types at both. Sometimes the worst are at the most remote spots because it's become very popular to buy a big 4WD and justify the cost by going as deep into the bush as possible, with as much gear and comforts as possible.
If elected, I'll make it legal to hunt those people for sport between April and August. (Season will vary slightly depending on location.)
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.
whoosh
My guy do you even know what 4’33” is?
(Psst... It's 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence. Or rather "ambient sound" when played live. The musicians don't play their instruments.)
That's the "ambient sound" of a performance
The studio version might be silence only, but real performances involve the soloist, or the orchestra and conductor prepared to play but not producing any notes from their instruments.
Whether live or not, in either case the performance involves one listening to the ambient sound around them. So playing this song in nature, listeners should be paying attention to the natural sounds around them.
I see you've already been told what 4'33" is but I thought I would point out that we are in complete agreement.
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.

I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane!
While people behind me are going in-sane!
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.
I wonder which came first, the picture OP found or that playlist you found. I'm guessing the playlist was first.
I checked, and the one by WSDNR doesn't seem to actually exist on Spotify. I think either it's a photoshop based on the real one, or that real one was based on the picture... but not funny.
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.
maybe she is not into camping and compromising?
Compromise by leaving her at home
ah yes, compromise by refusing to even consider a compromise
I'd file for divorce.
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 went on a river float (tubing) with some friends last weekend, and a guy who I respect very much produced a BT speaker and let it play much of the time. Thankfully it was too underpowered to hear unless you were right by it, but yeah people really think a tinny ass speaker is going to be pleasant for others to listen to.
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.

CHIRP CHIRP
WA DNR are fucking great. Recent highlights:
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.
If I am going to the boonies, I'd rather have an AM radio only for news and weather updates.
A crank handle radio/flashlight combo is a great investment to put in your trunk.
"just crankin the ol radio" as they say
in the forest straight up cranking it, and by it, well, letr just say..
my radiophonis
We got one of those after the Northridge quake of 94. Great thing to have!
but I would walk, 500 miles, just to hear your, bluetooth stereo.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Come on, if this starts playing at full volume at rush hour
That song is nasty... adding to the rotation
Is "nasty" like kids used to say "sick" when something is awesome?

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.
Did you imagine a "don't" in that sentence?
"Doesn't" is in my sentence, which is kinda close?
Not sure what you mean. I am saying I enjoy hearing other people enjoying their music when on the trail.
Oh sorry, your comment makes sense then. Just didn't expect to encounter someone with such an unpopular opinion.
