There's something beautiful about a prescribed controlled burn. It's like watching orange liquid move over the landscape. People have so disconnected themselves from fire they fail to realize it's a necessary, natural part of most American landscapes, and if it's managed properly, it's rarely dangerous.
I would probably find a way to male a 55gallon into a tractor weight for the front of the tractor during fire season, just to have something better than nothing. I am surprised someone isn't making some ranging from a couple hundred gallons on down.
@@JustaLittleFarminKansas Get Panama torches with 19" spouts, not the other design, which is designed for literally dripping fuel under timber and amongst underbrush. The Panama is optimized for grassland use. With the long snout you can drag the wick at ground level where it's much more effective because fire wants to burn up, not down. Also, if properly used, they don't need to drip. Just letting enough fuel seep onto the wick to keep it lit is enough. This saves fuel (and $) and saves time because there are fewer stops to refill or swap torches. The faster you can get a ring around the thing, most of what can go wrong can't happen. The Panama can be used with an ATV for stretches were holding isn't a problem (e.g. good mineral lines) and you can really move. Just clamp the torch under your black-side leg with the snoot a few inches above the ground and just enough flow to drip flaming dots. Mineral lines should be used wherever the burn unit borders cropland. You accomplish 90% of your holding months before the fire.
No it is not. It is called a controlled burn. It is regulated by our local fire department and they only let us burn on days when it is safe. It helps keep the noxious weeds and trees form taking over the grass. We use great caution to make sure it only burns our property and the fire is out before we leave.
You don't need CLICKBAIT TITLES to get viewers interested. For me it is a turn off and hard to come back to future videos. Sorry, but it is what it is. Why not title it for what it was? A good cooperative burn with the neighbors involved.

That's good, your rotation will leave some cover for early nests.
Great video!
2 years later, it's time to burn again, we want same video, which was cool

Very nice, where about in KS are you? Used to have some family in McPherson area.
North East!
Excellent Burn and video/
Thank you!
Great video! How do you get your arial shots? And what do you generally use to start your fires?
For the arial shots I use a DJI spark Drone. We typically use matches to start the fire and a metal rake to spread the fire.
Nice! Looks great. Thanks for the info.
@@JustaLittleFarminKansas a drip torch would be a good investment --make life easier
@@slackjawedyokel1 yea we know, it’s on the list!
A really tall ladder. 🤦🏼♂️
Nice.
Where is the disaster?
the snag caught fire.
Oh well… clickbait much?
Nice burn there. Have you thought of buying a couple of drip torches? They work far better than the rake method.
Yeah it’s on the list! We don’t burn that much so we don’t mind taking the little extra time to save the cost

isnt this like starting a wild fire?

@@JustaLittleFarminKansas oh great! i was worried that people were in danger. appreciate the reassurance
@@pissedoffbucketguy9115 Nobody is in danger! We wouldn’t do it if it put people or the environment in danger!
