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
WA DNR are fucking great. Recent highlights:
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!

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
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?
Little A and a Little B
Not even trail songs by Marty Robbins? :c

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?
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 you’re feeling slightly mischievous you could get one of those short-range radio transmitters (the kind you use to listen to your own music in an old car without an aux input or bluetooth) and override their radio station
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.)
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.
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.
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
My parent’s cat turns into a pitiful mess during new year’s eve.
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.)
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 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.
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.
whoosh
The sound of the mountain lion swiping at you. Checks out.
My guy do you even know what 4’33” is?
My bad then, I thought it was a generally liked song and hence all the upvotes. Not going to delete my comment because if that was the case it still stands.
My other comment answers that.
(Psst… It’s 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence. Or rather “ambient sound” when played live. The musicians don’t play their instruments.)
…it’s a bit more than just that: it included the performative ambience of an assembled orchestra - conductor and musicians - managing their bodies, instruments, and staging equipment as they turn through sheet music of their respective parts, as well as that of the venue and audience…
…there’s quite a bit going on in a proper performance which we’ve been trained to otherwise ignore…
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.
My bad then, I thought it was a generally liked song and hence all the upvotes. Not going to delete my comment because if that was the case it still stands.
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.
