Thank you for educating us about all things fire related. This is such a great contrast to the “news” sensationalism that fed to us by the usual sources.
More outstanding and informative conversation! Deeply grateful for the knowledge you are providing!! I love understanding our surroundings and the behavior past and present of nature. It answers so many questions. Thank you so very much for your continued contribution 👊😘
Good education video - bottom line, it all comes down to maintenance. I am a home hardening specialist. Really appreciate your work. Made a donation today.
My little A-frame escaped the Caldor fire. But feels like it is just a matter of time until it burns….unless, as you say in this video, we change how the forests are managed. Thx for broadcasting the importance of this subject!
Wow, you sure have the expertise to bring these topics to light. Excellent, Zeke! Was certain you'd mention the Caples fire in conjunction with this mosaic, saving that maybe? Blown away by your open and honest characterization of USFS and the big fire economy. Yep. Yep and yep.
Quality content and a perfect example of what TH-cam can be at its best. Subscribed and donated. Also, yeah, show the cat. Worth at least another 5k subs :)
Much gratitude for the contribution you've been making toward educating us. Perhaps you could speak about the Feather River watershed and the Dixie fire's consequences on the future water situation. I know you've written about this in the lookout, but when the time is right, could you maybe speak a little more on the subject? Thanks Zeke.
Zeke, increasingly, FS Sierra province ecologists are pushing for replanting at lower densities with careful attention to slope, aspect and species mix considering climate change. They're also encouraging early use of Rx fire in replanted areas. It would be helpful next time you show this if you would point out the burned private lands, too. Those clearcuts are all SPI land. Also, the fire is named for Caldor, which was named for the California Door Company, so it's pronounced CAL-dor as in California, not CALL-dor. Thanks for your work.
Great insight and use of technology for education. I would add at around 14:20 "saved structures" as far as all you have left is dozer lines and burnt forest.
I have heard "forest management" the term, tossed around so much that I was very skeptical of it as anything but a way out of being serious and a launch for various political and commercial interests. This is the first place and video that I have ever seen, read or known of that talked about the real issue in detail and what it is in a way that makes scientific sense. Now, if we can just get it to dry up less and rain some more...
The things I've learned in the last week. Whew. Ive donated, but I think a subscription is in order. I live in the Bay Area so I'm not directly in a fires line, but as a mountain biker I've spent countless hours rolling through some of these burnt areas. Now as I roll through areas I see with different eyes. Here's my political rant: Instead of handing out free gov't unemployment money can we instead move that money into forest and land management and create jobs that way? Rant over.
Zeke, thank you for this update. Could you provide some commentary on the effectiveness of the Phos-Chek fire retardant product used in Meyers and Christmas?
My experience is the Forest Service logs and plants very little of its burned ground anymore. They take out the hazard trees along roads and leave the rest to its own devices which usually means a vast brush field. A drive through the 2013 Rim Fire for instance confirms that. There are extensive lands logged and replanted but they are mostly Sierra Pacific or other private landowners.
I would love to know how the Caples Creek controlled burn affected the fire. This burned only a couple years ago so fuel load should have been low. Would be great to study if the controlled burn slowed the fire
Thanks for the video this was something I was very curious about. Yeah, like the stewardship is what’s needed. When I look into it online it’s just a bunch of organizations looking for donations to plant trees. Should we be spreading wildflower seeds since the tree planting may not be the best plan for the future? It’s going to suck to look at these burn scars and the only thing I can do is go into the forest with a chainsaw and cut ladder fuel.
Thank you for being here to bring great, info to all us property owners who might be freaking out. Also stewardship is now part of my mantra. Good job!
Zeke, can you get monetized on YT now? I think so, no? Check into it and Patreon as well! Kudos. Love your channel and thank you for all of your help finding our property in the Satelite images! Sincerely, thank you! You gave me hope when I thought there was no more hope!
@@garysanchezphotography 2019: 7.1 billion, 2020 7.6 billion, 2021: 9.5 billion. Thanks for making me look up just how badly wrong you were, but that was never my point. They are failures at maintaining our public national forests. Dare to disagree?
@@bob_frazier Most increased we're for fire suppression. They need to keep firefighters year around to reduce girls much more aggressively. I know our local USFS personal very well and they want to do more than they are allowed.
We entrusted the USFS as stewards of our public forests and they have clearly failed. That was job one! If they were a private corporation we'd fire the CEO, the board, and restructure the company. Maybe that is what's needed here, a litteral teardown of the fight fire with billions mentality while spending nothing on stewardship. Yes, I'm pissed off. Yes, I want a bumper sticker that says "Fire the Forest Service - NOT the forest".
Thanks for the lesson! When you say "pretty hot" what kind of temperature does that mean? We are still standing, thankfully, but most of our neighbor cabins just above Camp Sacramento are reduced to ashes. Hard to fathom the intensity that can do that. Thanks again
How many burned lumber company properties or clear cuts have you walked? Since they make money off of growing trees as fast as possible they don't leave but come back and thin/treat the young stands so they're not overwhelmed by brush etc.
@@Mudpuppyjunior tons, and currently there is no lumber company doing anything for the forest. the money is not there for them so they left. also most of the timberlands that they logged are federal lands that they we able to get for pennies on the dollar till the trees were gone, now we got a ton of logged over land with nice roads , but same age stands of immature trees.
Can you explain how percentage containment is calculated? Is it just the amount of perimeter controlled, or how exactly is this determined? Thanks for the great videos!
Thanks for the great content! This is terrific work! *You may want to put your PayPal Link in the description of each of your videos. May get you're more donations. 💲💰
Too bad we can't ask for a refund for all the money DOD funneled, I mean wasted through out the decades and applied to a real problem. Starting to appear LBJ was right.
Read The Quran, is the truth from God Quran 2:155-156 We will certainly test you with a touch of fear and famine and loss of property, life, and crops. Give good news to those who patiently endure, who, when faced with a disaster, say, “Surely to God we belong and to Him we will ˹all˺ return.”

Knew exactly what you meant. Info is stellar, thank you 🙏
Let the rains begin….
No $hit lol... these are the longest months everrrrrr
Stewardship in Forestry, resilience, practical approach to mending and caretaking forests in the future...thank you for teaching!
This is Nat Geo quality information & overview. This episode is extremely informative & enlightening.
Terrific insights. Much appreciated. 🙏
Excellent episode visualizing the degrees of severity of the Caldor fire while provoking dialog on forest management and post-fire restoration. 👌

No simple answers, but realistic problems to face. Tank you for going deep on important forestry issues.
Who are the 3 idiots who down voted this?! This is by far some of the best information you can get. Incredible knowledge. Great videos.

I can’t emphasize how much I appreciate your work. I’ve tuned in every day and received a real education from all of these videos.
Fascinating! Thanks Zeke!

Thank you for the info. Good knowledge to be gained there if the authorities will heed it.
Can you separate landownership between private and federally managed lands and look for similarities/differences?
Great briefing!
Thanks for the tour, my old Stompin grounds. Private lumber companies do a lot better job managing the forests.
Echo the comments expressed earlier. A great mentor for the future path.
Zeke should be appointed to head of Forestry.

For real. He also has enough subscribers to make money on TH-cam!

You know what you are talking about.
This should be on 60 minutes to bad this information wasn't available thirty years ago....all of sudden the tree huggers went real quiet .
We should assure that the USFS has the necessary resources for all year forest management.
I don't know, Gary. Would they squander it? Can we trust them? I'd say they've failed us on every level.
@@bob_frazier Wrong, USFS has been cut years after year.
