If it's cool enough that the bugs aren't out, then yes definitely.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Adhd'er checking in. I wouldn't last ten minutes in that chair before getting up out of boredom.

    All day long I'd probably get bored ngl. That looks like a primo reading spot though

    Daaaamn, is that a Grosfillex Miami monobloc resin outdoor patio chair in white!?

    The mosquitos would ensure that chair remains empty, just like it is now.

    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.

    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?!

    I guess I'm the 1%.

    Accoding to the likes, 92% agrees. So maybe not 99%, but still high!

    Depends on the temperature, humidity, mosquitos, and, of course, snack selection. But yes!

    In our garden I have a bucket with a seat lid. When I love just sitting and watching the plants do their thing

    For me it's the field out behind my barn looking into the woods, I built a nice bench out of left of 2x6. There's an insane amount of bird back there, all different kinds. I'll occasionally see a dead animal along the treeline and know it won't be long until the vultures come and carry it off, it's gruesome but very cool to see nature just doing it's thing.

    switch me to a adirondack chair and I'm 100% about it.

    Looks like a pretty nice spot. Nice and cool in the shade.

    That used to be me. My wife is teaching me about relaxation as a means of clearing the brain so I can be awesome again. Doing nothing for an hour or two is rough work but I'll get the hang of nothing eventually. I could one day be doing nothing all day.

    Maybe with a fishing rod.

    All it's missing is the fishing pole.

    I'd be lucky to last an hour by myself.

  • source
  • [–] 2 points 5 months ago

    With the proper supplies, of course. A comfier chair, good smoke, at least cold water, perhaps a fishing rod and some lures, some tunes... All day in that chair, as is, probably wouldn't happen with most guys.
