100% a man who bought it for a day out and didn't want it taking up space for the next decade with almost no usage

Hey it's better off bringing fun for hundred dads than sitting in garage for a decade

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 17 points 6 months ago

Plus, dads absolutely love free stuff!

Dad here, just got free stuff off curb after garage sales yesterday.

I would totally take part in the boogie board chain if approached.

I have a snorkel that I bought for one trip and it just sits there now.

There’s a camping site that we go every year. When we got to our spot there was a bunch of firewood near the fire pit. We used and bought more. When we left, instead of burning the leftover wood, we left there for the next campers. We saw several other spots doing the same.

That’s a great tradition. You’re awesome for helping keep it alive.

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 months ago

We do the same thing, our hand it off to a new arrival if they’re there while we pack.

This is great to do when gathering wood at a back country site. Even more appreciated.

I also do this. My tip is to leave it under the picnic table, with some of the plastic wrap if possible to help keep it dry.

[-] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 6 months ago

Those fun lovin’ socialists.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

I've given away things like that before. Some things you just can't take on to an airplane.

The cost to rent is nearly the same as buying one, might as well pay it forward!
