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.
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
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 🤣
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.
Yeah, that looks fucking great, where’s the meme?
masculinist gender ideology
The mosquitos would ensure that chair remains empty, just like it is now.
Accoding to the likes, 92% agrees. So maybe not 99%, but still high!
I’ve heard there are other genders on Lemmy than just men
I guess I’m the 1%.
Too many flies on my face. Not worth it.
switch me to a adirondack chair and I’m 100% about it.
