LOUD OUTDOOR AUDIO

[Roper]

Who’s going to make a jamming device…? Buwaahaaa!

 

[DanielOcean]

Yeah, that's just being a Karen. You could have just kept scrolling.

You sensitive today huh? I am such an offended Karen right now.

 

[FinLuver]

I dislike it not just during fishing…I especially dislike it in camp afterwards…although you might not like to hear me play guitar after a few…

Or a Blazing Saddle melody, after a pot of beans…

 

[Northern]

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.

 

[SurfnFish]

apparently not ok to complain about loud music f'n up the harmony of the outdoors, but ok to complain about folks complaining about loud music f'n up the harmony of the outdoors...

If the haircut fits?

 

[Smokey Bear]

It’s starting to get Ifishy in here.

 

[Scott Salzer]

DO - they don’t need to be a-holes. Just let me know where you will be fishing so I don’t go there....

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.

 

[DanielOcean]

And folks listening to music in a public setting do not need to be labled a-holes either.

If you lick the whole cake so that no one else wants any, you're not really "sharing" it

 

[Yard Sale]

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.

Well said.

 

[Scott Salzer]

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 .

You do not own the whole cake when you are on the water.

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

SWOOOOOSH….!!

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.

 

[DanielOcean]

Those god damn kids and their music, and fireworks. GRRRRRRRR. If I ever get so old that I bitch like this you all have permission to shoot me.
