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)
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.
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.
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.

Lost opportunity to use a wooden chair.

It would be a better photo if it were a toilet seat.
Any seat is a toilet seat if you shit on it.

I found a shit box in the woods once
Was it next to the porno mags?
This but with a sturdy, wooden, mossy bench that was built an unknown number of years ago
Yeah, that plastic chair in the image will instantly snap if you sit on it.
would be more peaceful without trash left in it.

It's ok, I brought a tent and my thermacell. I even have an extra wool blanket. I'll get the fire started, k?
Internet definitely isn't in line with peace
Thought of this as well.
I'm too old and pessimistic for this world.

No no, the secret is being so pessimistic you don't care about dying.

And mosquitos and ticks
Amazing wank spot

ITT: Lemmy users who are scared of going outside
We are lemmings. The world is at our fingertips! Going outside is no problem.
I can feel a storm approaching...
Now I'm motivated
Imagine all the biting insects though…

Unless mosquitoes.
How are the skeeters?
I need to pee....where do I go?
Literally anywhere. It's the woods.
The stream is right there...
Until it gets dark.
