I followed your example. I burned off the cedars but the apartment complex management got their drawers in a twist. I told 'em to call you. Have a good day.
This looks like our place right now. Currently gearing up for another California wildfire season with a month to go before burn days are ceased. Controlled burns ward off pests, weeds, overgrown forests, and enhance homestead defensible space. Our neighbor burns his land every other year to kill of the pesky tick population that affect the deer, boars, and coyotes near our neck of the woods. Good job Arms family! Keep it up!
My father started out his life as a forester, he fought wild fires and he managed control burns. All throughout my childhood, he would always tell us the importance of a control burn. How it would keep a land healthy and thriving. Its nature's way of keeping the slate clean and the forest healthy. Control burns are vital, you are amazing and dedicated to your land to use them.
We've got the tallest red cedar tree in the world up here in Michigan on South Manitou Island. One of the three rivers that flow through the capital city of Lansing is called the Red Cedar River.
FIRE. A great tool that more people need to use. I have a forestry friend that says a controlled burn is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Tim
I always helped my Dad do the burn off. We always did it end of February (in Georgia). Always liked being out on the farm with my Dad. Precious memories.
Smart burn !Using the brains God gave you is the first giant step too good homesteading. Love watching. Been there now we are done except for gardens. 51 years where golden.
In the county I grew up in, all you had to do was call dispatch and they would send a page out. I was on the volunteer fire department and a lot of farmers would just have us do their controlled burn for them. People in the small town would go out and watch the burns. It was the town's entertainment.
We didn't have the volunteer fire department involved, but we did get most of the neighbors involved (very rural area)--if we all burned together that meant that wildfires wouldn't sweep over us later that year. Those that weren't directly involved with burning would bring out the lunches, and we'd all break bread together. This was necessary since we lived so far from a town or city that had a fire department that could respond if we had a bad fire. Great memories from my childhood.
I love watching fire burn into the wind. The flame will just lay back as it moves into the opposite direction. So cool and great for the environment. Great video
Daniel you manage and take amazing care of your property so well!! It is so beautiful it looks like a manicured park! You have to be awfully proud of it! All your hard work and efforts have sure paid off!! What a gorgeous piece of land!! Thank you for showing us one of your management techniques to keeping your homestead so well groomed!
That is totally amazing. How you did that all by yourself and kept it controled is mind blowing. You always have such interesting, entertaining and sometimes quite funny videos. Thanks for the great video.
Very good and educational vlog Daniel! Thank you for having your audio up on your vlog. I cannot stand it when I have to turn my volume on y devices to MAX just to hear what people are saying. You and Dutch have mastered this part. Dear Dutch can use some tweaking on occasions but both are great for audio. Love seeing DJ and your daughter. 💖💝 Bella and Bear running ahead of the Kubota, along the fire path. 😊🔥🔥🔥😊🙂👍👌
Wow that's soo great.. if everybody would take care of that with a controlled fire, we wouldn't have so much uncontrolled fire every year! So mise to see that there is still people that take care!!
Yes, I think dead branches and other dead stuff on the ground will fuel forest fires. I go to our State Parks and they have signs up not to collect wood, so it piles up and, to me, becomes a danger that allowing campers to "clean" would be a benefit.
Burning daylight and control burning. Thanks for more property management information. Your goats and wild life will have some good grazing. Be safe bro. 👍
I just got a notification from my city last night about a fire that got out of control. Probably someone trying to burn like this or a just burn off a small fire, but without knowing what they were doing and during a VERY low humidity time when fires can quickly spread. I want to do a controlled burn on my property- just a smallish area of woods, but there's no break between us and the woods on neighboring properties, and I've never done a controlled burn before. I'm afraid I'd be starting the next wildfire in our part of GA, and we don't have many wildfires here because so many people do controlled burns. I'll have to do more research, contact the FD and other local resources and see what I can do to set one up for next Spring. Thank you for sharing what you do, how you do it and why. Great job being a good steward of the land.
I've been watching Deermeat for dinner about 3 years now love his channel.Ijust joined yours a couple days ago so for I've really like it.Jonathan from Arkansas.
Very informative video. You obviously have a very good understanding about how to do a controlled burn the right way. Your drone shots were spectacular! I'm so glad that stumbled on your channel a few months ago. I've spent many hours catching up on your videos. You and your family are a joy to watch, and I've learned so much about the highs and lows of life on a farm.
Thank you for the fire burn info. Please do a video in a couple of weeks about how it worked to bring back the land. Thank you for all you do. I enjoy your videos.
A SCHOOL WAS MY OLD NEIGHBOR, I CALL THE FIRE DEPT BEFORE I BURN, BUT THEY REPORT ME LEFT AND RIGHT, WHEN I BURN OFF MY FIELD, THE FIRE DEPT GUY CAME OUT TO TAKE A LOOK, I HAD A BURNED LINE TO KEEP IT FROM THE HILLS AND LIKE YOU I DIVIDE IT, INSTEAD OF A TICKET I GET INVITED TO COME UP AND JOIN THEM AT THE DEPT, LOL, I LOVE IT
You have a lot of experience with that. I would be afraid of starting a forest fire. Maybe that comes with growing up in California. Don’t hold that against me 🤣 we left as soon as we could. 18 years ago. Loved the video.
I agree with WW I hear about them fires in Cali,,😢 Daniel you know what you are doing, GREAT JOB ON FIRE CONTROL. This was Great Vlog very good information on how to control a fire. LAMBERT jealous that MOMMY not taken his picture 💞🤗
Awesome video. Land management is an important part of the of maintaining your homestead, for both the people and the animal living on it. Really inspiring video. Looking foward to a follow up on the burn.
At first I was worried about the fires. Living here in California we have massive forest fires every year. Last year was the worst with a whole town wiped out. I understand the pros & cons on doing what you do. I don't understand how you had so much cedar trees, but if you say it's a problem I'm sure you're doing what works for you. I love to watch your channel. Between your channel, Keeping it Dutch & Justin Rhodes' channels I've learned a lot. I'm going to try and build a raised bed garden with the idea of growing my own fruits & veggies. I'm handicapped & cannot kneel nor bend down so I knew I needed a raised bed garden. My plans are 2 fruit trees, growing my own potatoes, carrots, eggplant and several more veggies I like along with some strawberries & other fruit.
It's probably useless to comment on a year old post but my observation just reminded me of how I used to control burn my old place. I used a leaf-blower. I used a gasoline machine but now, with advancements in the battery powered tools, a cordless leaf-blower would be ideal for spreading the fire in the right direction and along your line where you initiate your burn.
We are from Maine and our goats always eat the evergreens down to nothing first. I often cut them down for winter feed and now my herd comes running at the sound of the chainsaw.
The Martin Family just bought 22 Acker near Andalusia Alabama. I can't wait to get the property cleaned up and ready to plant . Hope to make it a U pick I'm years to come. And raise a small group of livestock. Guys like Keeping It Dutch and yourself inspire me.
I hope you get better soon Daniel! I’m sure the smoke didn’t help you breathe better. But awesome video as always! I live in Wisconsin in a small country next to DNR Forrest and Prairie so they do controlled burns every spring to help control the natural Prairie wildflowers and trees,also kill off the mosquitoes larvae and ticks. But I do feel bad the birds nests ect burn up. But I understand it has to be done. Look forward to seeing more videos of your Family,homestead life and of course seeing Bella,Gemma,Bear, and Lambert....so adorable! 🙂💯💕
As a farmer and an evacuee of the Carr fire that broke out last summer, I had to reply to your comment. Currently, controlled burns are permitted during burn season which runs roughly through mid April during the California rainy season. Rural residents must check with Cal Fire and get a county permit, but are allowed to burn up to 2 acres at a time. All fires must be cold by 5 pm on burn days. Brush burning is also permissable only during this window of time. County funded organizations do the best they can with limited resources from capitol hill during this time by cutting and clearing brush and dead trees in residential areas. All residents must maintain a 100 foot defensible space around their residence during fire season. I am just California farmer, but if only the dems in Sacramento would listen to us north state folks and have annual controlled forest burns and better forest management, many of these man made fires could avoid loss of life and property. It should be noted that both Carr and the Camp fires we're started by mechanical failures of man made equipment.
I always enjoy burning season! Here in Kansas we have a burn Group and burn are pastures and friends around. But don’t go over the same place for about 3-4 years. And also maybe look in to a drip torch for lighting!
Daniel always does everything so well. I wish I was that smart. I would jump in and then figure out how i am gonna stop the blazing fire i just started, thinking oooops how did that happen? How on earth has he had the time to learn so many things when he is still so young!
I can see both sides of this coin. Control burns can definitely help, and add nutrients to the soil, but letting the leaf litter decompose adds nutrients also.
Well done! Josh is interested in this type of land management but it makes me nervous. Looks like you have a great system down and know exacrly what you are doing!
Great video as usual. Love the overhead shots of the burn using the drone. Keep up the great work! I'm learning a lot watching your videos and one day, I'll put it all to use when I get my own little slice of land.
Oh my gosh...fires that are larger than a burn pit or a BBQ grill; frighten the living daylights out of me! Could not help it -- the whole time your fire was going, I wanted to grab things to extinguish those flames! Being a severe asthmatic, I look at all that smoke and absolutely panic. Whew!!! So glad things worked out well for you. Kate in Olympia, WA
Good job Daniel at least you are burning down the seeds too. DeeJay has a lovely smile. Yes if I started a fire to burn rubbish, I’d need a permit even on my my own property.
Great fire breaks! Well done sir!Awesome drone work!Easily distracted by pretty girls!You can save your back with a cheap metal broom rake. Couple pieces of tape to hold the fuse, or gather a mess of leaves and dribble along your desired line. Been using one for years, the new kids coming up in the fire service gotta use a drip torch. Guess old habits are hard to change.Totally agree with prescribed burns, and the results afterwards!Also great info about calling the proper authorities, no sense sending crews out when not needed. I can't imagine you don't have a working relationship with your local FD.2 thumbs up!!
The ONLY thing cedars are good for is furniture. Exploding ceda trees are nasty in fire/drought season. Awesome land management! Can't wait to see it all clean and green! The best distraction is family ❤ Beautiful place you all have. Update on the juicy fruit? Or did I miss it..
Hey Daniel good video and kudos to you for doing the right thing to protect your land and other property by doing a controlled burn and you did it just the way it supposed to be done so it don't get out of control it's always going to be naysayers but don't listen to them I don't know what they're talkin about way that live in the real world do you did a great job there and yes that grass will jump up now it'll be happy and so we'll all the critters that's going to eat the grass that's going to jump up and the goats don't forget to goats good job good video
We have a lot of those pesky cedars here in VA too. Dozed an entire fence row and replaced it due to them. I get satisfaction from watching them burn. 😂
Daniel when we moved on our 1/2 acre we cut and burned nearly 60 cedar trees down! I hate cedar! We still have 4 huge ones but my husband will not cut them down. It's OK though as we're about to move to Missouri and the land won't have cedar close enough to worry about. If there's cedar choking out the oaks then they're going down! Lol!
I remember the next town over had a controlled burn and in the afternoon the. Wind shifted the fire turned. South it took. Out. 300acres it. Took. 2days. To. Bring it. Under. Control. Sincerly uh ours. Mr. Don
It is burn time in Kansas as well, drove through the flint hills over the weekend and saw several large burned areas already. They burn regularly, maybe not every year, and it shows as there are no cedars at all just clear grass prairies. Looking back in history, mother nature did the burn ing by starting fires with lightning and burned uncontrolled for hundreds of miles. That is why some areas had few trees when the pioneers came to the area. The pastures or properties that are not burned or controlled look terrible and if let go too long will be no good for anything not evev pasture. There is one breed of sheep that I read about that does eat eastern red cedar trees, it is the black belly or Barbados sheep. They will eat the small ones and strip the big ones as high as they can reach including the bark off of the trunk, which kills the tree. Love your videos and what you are doing ther.
It’s something that is used a lot here in Australia because if you don’t keep the dry fuel on the ground clean you end up with devestating wildfires that kill entire forests because they get too hot while a controlled burn just removes the dry stuff on the ground burns some of the lose bark on the eeucalyptus trees many of which need fire to open their seed pods so they can regenerate the trees will send out new green shoots within days of a controlled burn
DUDE!! Awesome video on a controlled burn! Great video :)
I followed your example. I burned off the cedars but the apartment complex management got their drawers in a twist. I told 'em to call you.

Loved the drone footage,.I wish you were gov.of Calif.,maybe we wouldn't have so many fire, we wait till its costs us billions, plus many lives. Lol
My dad hated cedars with a passion. Burning was his favorite way of getting rid of them.
I didn't know I would be so interested in watching you burning leaves. Before I knew it the video was over.
Cool.. Now you can watch it all start greening up. I hope you have a great week..

You should get one of the drip torches wildland fire fighters use it would make it prity easy to start your controlled burns

It’s something that is used a lot here in Australia because if you don’t keep the dry fuel on the ground clean you end up with devestating wildfires that kill entire forests because they get too hot while a controlled burn just removes the dry stuff on the ground burns some of the lose bark on the eeucalyptus trees many of which need fire to open their seed pods so they can regenerate the trees will send out new green shoots within days of a controlled burn
