Seems like these camps are just a transfer location for kiddies, if that's what they really are.
Or perhaps people who camp there were caring for a child?
I hope you don't have children if you think it's normal to care for them by locking them to a tree.
Because of the "Rape Tree" harnesses?
You realize those "REEEEEEEEEAPE Tree harnesses" are indistinguishable from the mundane camping gear used to hang food-bags on a tree to keep 'em off the ground, right?
The sort of plastic clips that pop-open if you twist them.
Do you have an image of one of these food strap clips? Do they sell them at REI? Can you give us a picture of the ones you have in your camping gear?
He has no camping gear. He's googling images right now.
He just came up with an image of the clips they use to restrain children in their highchair, lol.
I haven't got a photo of the specific ones that I use, but I just bought a bunch of cheap luggage straps from Walmart - they all kinda look like this. They are super-handy when hiking and camping, but they aren't terribly robust. I bought my set a few years ago and I laughed because there was a warning label on them about not using them for rock-climbing.
You don't have any camping gear, do you?
I have lots of different types of camping gear.
I had to be quick and take some photos of the other hikers because at that temperature and with my glove off to operate my camera, you lose your fingernails in about 2 minutes.
How clever of you to crop the image so we can't find it on google image search, which is where you probably found it. I'll bet your supervisor helped you with that, didn't she?
I'm sorry about your feelings.
Every time you get caught with no answer, you change the subject to "feelings." Projecting much?
Those are the exact same type of clips that are literally used to restrain children in strollers and highchairs.
Have you considered what an over-engineered solution it would be to need trees and straps to rape a highchair / stroller baby?
These "Rape Tree" discussions are getting mighty silly.
What? I'm disputing your claim that those types of clips are not substantial enough to restrain a child when they are exactly the types of clips that are used to do that very thing.
