LOUD OUTDOOR AUDIO

It is selfish and thoughtless to assume that others near you in a public space should act a certain way that benefits you. See how shit can go the other way?
When I am swinging a run and some jet boat goes by and I have to deal with his wake, I cannot get pissed off. When I am going out I am always factoring where I am going. Will others be there? What are the usual people that are usually there?
For example, if I go to the Yakima river. I have to accept the fact that there is a large possibility that a drunk party group is going to float by and my beautiful spiritual moment will be interrupted.

Right. Thus the qualification that a momentary disruption is no big deal.
 
It’s starting to get Ifishy in here. 🙄

I’m ok with a momentary disruption…but I still remember backpacking the Kalalau Trail on the Napali coastline on Kaui a long time ago; finally got to the beach, set up camp…then an inflatable came to shore with a group of tourists, a big cooler and a boom box…

Okay and a steady disruption is as big of a deal as you make it when you are in a public setting sharing space with others.
 
Day float I'll skip the tunes. Multiday float I bring a small speaker. Nice to have around the campfire. I don't camp near people so not "intruding" on anybody's space. By day 3 or 4 I might have some going while floating. I keep it low and if I see somebody I'll mute it.

Wouldn't do it on a lake or busy campground though. Totally agree that its rude to make other people listen to your music.
 
On quiet, remote lakes, they are a-holes. We have long time family property on Mason Lake by Shelton. I don’t fish it anymore. A lot of expensive boats and a lot of booming music, which I accept.
Would it be appropriate on Cady Lake?
DO - just tell me where you fish and like boom boxes -I’ll pass.
My point is to be considerate .

I already stated that I am not a person that enjoys music on the river so please get the facts straight. LOL

When I do opt for music, I use a neckband speaker like this one. Doesn't interfere with situational awareness like earbuds do, but no one more than a few feet away can hear it at normal listening volumes, as it's near to and directed at your own ears. Very comfortable, also.
