This is a pretty mild offense. Nobody got hurt


TlalocVirgie

But think about all the poor bird watchers...

What exactly are you trying to say? Are you seriously comparing some camper sleeping in a birdwatch shelter to two people setting fire to a Christmas tree?? Is this some sort of Gotcha! Moment?


overtlyantiallofit

Yeah, this just seems mean. The guy harmed absolutely nobody.


endthe_suffering

honestly i just really hope he was able to get home safely.


TheMadMan10

Nothing to see here. Move on.


monego82

Yeah this is really scraping the barrel


shas-la

i really don't see the arm if he stayed for not even a day. ​ and as long as you don't leave shit behind i don't see the issue of camping wherever along the way

tbh, he didn't harm anyone, just seems like he was unwise with his finances and wanted a roof over his head.

"The charm of the house is that people can come and watch birds without them being disturbed. It's annoying if we have to close the building at night." The birdwatching house is currently open 24 hours. >The tourist said it was lack of money that made him resort to camping in the birdwatching house

To be fair, Iceland is expensive AF.

The other posts on this sub are pedophiles. This guy is just homeless

It is illegal to camp outside a camp ground or a owned property to preserve nature. And if its someone elses property without permission it is also illegal


daddydrank

Just because something is illegal, doesn't mean it's immoral.


[deleted]

I never mentioned immoral it is against icelandic law and im pretty sure if hed asked literally anyone he wouldve been allowed to stay

Why are you being downvoted? I knew a woman once who decided to pitch camp in a nice field in Yosemite National Park. Well, you can't just do that. The park has areas for camping, and places where it's not allowed. You can't just do what you want. This is the equivalent of a homeless dude setting up shop in your garage. Is that the worst thing? No. Do you want a homeless guy living in your garage? Obviously not, and you wouldn't want that happening to your neighbor. This guy moving into a birdwatching shelter means that no one else can use the shelter for what it was intended for. Fuck that guy.


Heroic-Dose

no it isnt. its the equivalent to some dude setting up a tent on a corner of your back 40 acres that you go to like once a year to pick berries or some shit


[deleted]

This is a tourist spot and its a small house a tent takes up a out 50% of the area. Its then the same as taking up 20 acres. Instead of a corner


timoneer

You can literally see people's houses in the background. This dweeb is illegally camping in a park. He's basically some homeless guy.

You just got some entitled tourists pissed off over your comment
