Hi all, thank you for watching. I just want to add here in the comments that although it didn’t make it into the video, we did remove the balanced rocks before leaving the woods. Thanks again, and I hope you enjoyed the video. -Dustin
Don't pay attention to the negative comments, Magi. To all you negative commenters, Magi is my son and I know how careful he always is out in nature. I think all this talk about messing with habitat and such is nonsense. It's not like what he does covers acres and acres of any particular area. It's beautiful. I love it.
The whole time I'm expecting to see a rock fall and some cold little toes get squashed, followed by howls of pain and profanity. Ah the tranquil outdoors, the peace the serenity, so refreshing
Always wanted to figure out how people balanced stones so precariously on one another. Much obliged for both your teachings and making sure to put the stones back after you were done with them. Now I need to try making a rock Voltron out of my collection in my back yard to see if it works out. 😂
I've been in a group that lost members in the desert because they thought balance rock art was a cairn when they turned around early. They showed up at the car about an hour after everyone else got back. Just be responsible when performing this art. If you are in an area that uses cairns knock it down before you leave.
Jens is right. It has become a real problem in our National Parks and the park service treats it as vandalism. It alters the natural environment and has negative effects on wildlife when the stream beds and natural hiding places for their food sources are disrupted. I wish people would stop doing this or at least set aside specific areas for this activity but keep it out of our beautiful parks and wild lands.
No, it is not. We gathered the stones from the shore and were very respectful of the natural environment… on private property. Now, if you watched the vid, you would have heard us bring it up. Feel free to link your “over stressed aquatic insect population” study, and I’ll read through it.

I wonder how these people would have reacted to the work of Andy Goldsworthy 🧐
Welcome gentlemen to the beginning lesson on polygonal. We use basalt then granite, it is very peaceful. Cheers from Christmas Island.
Cheers

Definitely smushed a finger once or twice in the past. 😉

Dope af brothers. You guys are awesome!!
Thanks Travis
Rewatch value 😊
Hello fellow magi.
Don't know how I found you but I'm subbed. So hello again!
🙏✌️
I had an awesome time. Really glad to bring you guys along into my world.
Hello Dustin and brother! Very interesting activity to relax without a doubt, but be careful with your toes. The stones are not soft...
You aren’t kidding 😁
How abourt making an authentic Nessmuk knife with an authentic sheath?
I like the idea, but I’ve never been a fan of the shape of the Nesmuk. Maybe one day.
Thank you.
🙏

I totally agree, and we did remove them before we left. Thanks for the comment.
🤦♂️
hahahahaha
Rock balancing/cairn building is just graffiti made with natural materials. This is a real problem here in the Rockies.
See fellas… I told ya 🤦♂️

Couldn't agree more, don't encourage this in natural places.
Painting on a canvas isn't vandalism, I see nothing wrong with making something great and putting it in its natural area like a rock balance
@@gaogamers5335Do you care about the impact you have on others?
I mean no harm or insu
Please stop doing this. It's very destructive to the already over-stressed aquatic insect population.
