Why just men? Pretty much anyone seeking nature, the outdoors, and some quiet time would like this.
Until sunset, when the big skeeters roll in.
I worry that’s why the chair is empty. Someone got carried off by one of the larger mosquitoes.
I defintely know more women that could just sit there and enjoy it than men. Now you add a fishing rod and some cold beers that would level if not completely flip the playing field.
We have day mosquitoes now, even when it’s hot and dry. The brown striped bastards that fucking bite in a row if you don’t catch them.
They arrived 4-5 years ago and now we have to put on bug spray to do practically anything in our yard.
You wouldn’t get it
If it’s cool enough that the bugs aren’t out, then yes definitely.
Yeah, bugs are the one thing that could ruin it.
Otherwise best day ever.
We got my wife’s dad like a beekeeper hat for when he goes fishing. We’d like to get him back, you know.
Deet.
That doesn’t remove the buzzing sounds.
That spot looks like it would be swarming with mosquitoes.
Get a small fire going, or a thermacell
I’ve considered the thermacell before after reading about its supposed wizardry, but I dunno still seems like it can’t be that healthy/environmentally friendly. What’s your experience?
We have a portable leave-no-trace firepit that does the trick for the evening.
Tbh i’ve not used them. apparently they’re the same thing as mosquito coils though just more… concentrated
As for healthiness. probs more healthy than malaria, or other mosquito born diseases.
As for environmentally friendly. i think the horse has bolted there tbh. have you seen how they’re powering some of these data centres?
bug jacket
Absolutely. Not even a doubt. Bring my speaker for some music, a few preroll’s, and a 6pk of beer and it would probably be a perfect day.
Unless there’s biting insects
Adhd’er checking in. I wouldn’t last ten minutes in that chair before getting up out of boredom.
I may have to get checked…
Think of all the rabbit holes you can get into looking up the history of the local flora and fauna. It’s a sea of interesting stuff.
I don’t get to choose when I hyperfocus and when I get bored 🤣
All day long I’d probably get bored ngl. That looks like a primo reading spot though
Couple of hours is fine, more with a book. Otherwise, I guess I’m the 1%. Oh, and allergy meds first is a requirement
Edit: WTF is autocorrect even doing?!
Daaaamn, is that a Grosfillex Miami monobloc resin outdoor patio chair in white!?
Magnificent.
masculinist gender ideology
The mosquitos would ensure that chair remains empty, just like it is now.
In our garden I have a bucket with a seat lid. When I love just sitting and watching the plants do their thing
For me it’s the field out behind my barn looking into the woods, I built a nice bench out of left of 2x6. There’s an insane amount of bird back there, all different kinds. I’ll occasionally see a dead animal along the treeline and know it won’t be long until the vultures come and carry it off, it’s gruesome but very cool to see nature just doing it’s thing.
Put a hole in the lid and you don’t have to get up for any reason.
Too many flies on my face. Not worth it.
switch me to a adirondack chair and I’m 100% about it.
Depends on the temperature, humidity, mosquitos, and, of course, snack selection. But yes!
