    Plastic bottles in nature drive me nuts! I dont like so-called "fairy trees" either or decorating living trees with plastic baubles at Christmas and the excuse that it's nice for the kids is a load of crap. Get them to appreciate nature in its natural state and cultivate their imagination without brightly coloured plastic! Same with the orienteering marks if that's what they were. Make marks but use biodegradable materials or clear it away afterwards. Fair play to you for hauling it out. It's a good workout. It's like plogging I think, a combo of jogging and picking up rubbish. They do it in Sweden.

    • @RamblingOn
      @RamblingOn  Před 3 měsíci +2

      I've never heard of plogging but I've been back since to take what I had left behind. I spent 5 hours hauling all sorts of crap out of the woods that day and the way I saw it, it was exercise for me, fresh air and it made me feel really good to see it all removed. If it means that one little bird doesn't have to encounter it again then I'm happy out.

    I've always thought the plastic on the trees were out there by people like the woodland trust, as a way of marking dead trees or something similar? I'm guessing but just assumed it was something like that. Or some kind of surveillance on growth or something? Not 100% sure mind but orienteering sounds about right. Shame they use plastic!

    Good on you for being so environmentally aware and tidy . I am like that as well. I am wondering if when you have been out on a tidy up , have you found anything that you have kept . I once found a brand new bushcraft axe and a pair of walking poles which I still have after several years. I also once found what I thought was an abandoned tent . The nosey me had to have a look inside and found a dead man. The police thought he had died of a drugs overdose and died during the night . They suggested that I should see a counsellor to sort myself out and then I told them I worked for an undertaker and I went out collecting dead bodies. The officer was not a happy chappy after I told him that , lol . Cracking video Mate and keep up the great work.

    • @RamblingOn
      @RamblingOn  Před 3 měsíci +1

      😄 I hope I never come across that when I'm out and about but to be fair I handle dead bodies in work from time to time so it probably wouldn't bother me. I went back out for the stuff that I left behind and ended up cutting the groundsheet off the tent to use as a protective cover in my car. I hope to do a lot more tidying up in the future so it will come in handy. Other than that I haven't found anything that I ended up keeping

  • @nialloutdoors
    @nialloutdoors Před 3 měsíci +1

    Fair play Jason 👌 The rubbish is bad enough but the drums and the plastic bags (white outside/black inside) are forest waste. The bags are what they put the seedlings for planting in to and the drums are oil etc for chainsaws and other equipment. Those really piss me off as Coillte are supposed to be big LNT Ireland supporters yet they create so much crap it's unreal 😡
    I don't think the plastic tags are for orienteering. Competitors don't usually follow a set course like that. I'd say it's more likely to be an adventure race of some sort. If it was me I'd try and find out who held it and shame them into clearing it up themselves. If they could be bothered to go out and mark the route then they should be able to clear them again! They've made a real horlicks of the ground too, it's a mess!

    • @RamblingOn
      @RamblingOn  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Actually the adventure race sounds more like it, it's very soft ground up there so it's not great.

    That red tape definitely has nothing to do with orienteering as a route is never marked like that. The tape certainly looks like it's marking a route.
