      Plastic (although not ambient friendly) is more peaceful, as you can bend it. A wooden chair has the benefit that you can sit more on the edge without falling back, cause I’m basically talking meditation sitting position 101, here, your spine should rest like “a stack of gold coins”, and tilting the hips back like on the edge of the sit helps put the spine straight, so there’s no stress and you can just rest in the position for long periods of time

      Really peaceful for me would be like a stiff zafu and sitting cross legged (with butt near the edge of the seat)

    I can’t but imagine someone put that chair there to enjoy the quietness and the wild. Then he heard the buzzing of a flying drone, got off the chair, ran in the woods screaming “THERE IS NO PLACE LEFT ON EARTH I CAN ENJOY!!!”.

    And we’re here, looking at that picture, and arguing about whether this would be a good setup for each of us individually, all assuming no drone presence, of course.

    This is all well and good for a couple of hours. Then it gets cold, and you get hungry, and the mosquitoes swarm.

    Hopefully, just out of camera view, there is a warm, cozy cabin with electricity, hot and cold running water, at least a septic system, but preferably city sewer, and of course, internet.

      It’s ok, I brought a tent and my thermacell. I even have an extra wool blanket. I’ll get the fire started, k?

    I’m too old and pessimistic for this world.

    All I can think of is how there’s guaranteed to be massive spiders, and you’d be on high alert for wolves, bears, snakes, alligators, whatever there might be wherever that is.

      Having done field work for health departments I have come across more than a few sites like this, often in proximity to some pretty dark and miserable situations.

      I frequently think about how those spaces might’ve been important in some way to the person who had once resided in the tent or burned out trailer nearby. Those places probably were the few spaces of peace they experienced.
