I'm from Sweden and growing up we always did controled fires on my parents property for biodiversity. Learning to handle fire from a early age have been very useful.
I heard there are some species of vegetation who's seeds actually wait underground for a wild fire to occur so that they can grow at that opportune time when the soil is full of nutrients and there's no competition for sunlight.
Animals, homesteading, Nate’s sense of humor! NOW THERES FIRE?!?! Yep I like this Channel! Minion and Daisy were the best helpers EVER!!!! It’s good to see the ducks happy also
I am so excited to have found you. I have been finding more and more off grid channels to watch. I have a farm in missouri and am trying more and more to be self sufficient. Appreciate it!
It's cool to see you doing your first burn. I think you will be well satisfied with the results. Native folks did it for thousands of years for a reason and old timers in the south picked it up and never really stopped. The ecological benefits are really hard to replicate any other way plus it's hard to beat in keeping a field a field. Now I'm curious to hear, do you have any plans to burn any part of your woodlands at all? Of course it all depends on what your objectives are for those woods. Of course take it slow, make a good plam, get that experience and keep burning!
Wow I loved this. As a city slicker I enjoy the idea of homesteading but I think I'm just not built for it. Lots of medical issues. But I sure do love your videos. Love the long format. It's so incredible how he controls his fire even though to me I'd be like, "shit, shit, shit."
Grew up with controlled burns and burn areas. I've seen them get out of hand even when being maintained by a 40 man crew of fire fighters and one lost his life in that burn. They had almost 200 involved in trying to get it out cthe end of a week. Wind and weather can change more rapidly than people expect. Flare ups where it's not completely out are a big risk too. Always play it safely than one might expect.
In India they burn stubble (Leftover rice stump ) to make the nutrients back into soil and save costs of uprooting them , while good for agriculture the pollution from the burning makes the air extremely polluted in the neighbouring states (wind flow takes the smoke out of the state),this is done in winter which adds to the pollution, trapped smoke from stubble burning,smoke from vehicle plus fog results in smog
I have done a dozen controlled burns with my grandfather and father on our land in the OK/Kansas border just be a whole day event we had neighbors and firefighters out and the whole area would do control burns before spring those are good times just me with a shovel making sure fires stayed away from the walnut trees lol
You never stop learning from this channel. @Narrowayhomestead I have never done a controlled burn. My husband did those. Now that he is gone I'm having to learn a lot of his jobs. Thanks for sharing and teaching us as you learn the right way to do it. 🔥
And then, as you continue to gather, firewood, etc. you will be cleaning out the forest floor also and that will help in case another fire gets going unexpectedly.
Lot of cool videos just going through the shorts. Its very interesting to me to see life outside of the suburbs. I have a lot to learn if I want to homestead.
This was a dope video my guy. See it many times in the foothills of the smokies out here in East Tennessee. Smokies and Appalachians are I my back yard. 10 minutes drive to the dragon lol
Goats are a lot more trouble to take care of than ducks, and they're known for eroding soil with their feeding and trampling. Mongolia has been having severe issues due to this.

Something about watching dead grass burn is so calming
Minion didn’t really have any issues with the fire because he is a fire dog! He needs his own mini firefighter’s hat! 🐶👨🚒
I really like the long form conent! Thanks Nate
Minion: Huh. It appears Dad & his friends have the power to control fires. Niiice.

Does this help to get new plants growing or just to prevent another fire from getting out of control?
Both.
Not exactly both like this other guy saying. They take a longer to grow but that's just a side effect
The soil from burnt organic matter is really rich so it may take longer initially but the plants have better nutrients.
I do a controled burn every spring.
Your animals should not be loose & near the fire.
I love your content nate. I can't wait to see the new vegetation!
Good video Nate!
Feeding the algorithm, keep up the good content
Cool
Thanks
I have done a dozen controlled burns with my grandfather and father on our land in the OK/Kansas border
just be a whole day event we had neighbors and firefighters out and the whole area would do control burns before spring

The forest creatures that you. The deer will be paying you a visit in know time.

YOU LOVE TO TALK. . BE A BEAUTIFUL IF YOU ELIMINATED YOUR DIALOG.
And then, as you continue to gather, firewood, etc. you will be cleaning out the forest floor also and that will help in case another fire gets going unexpectedly.
Will you two be doing another controlled burn?
Love long form 💜
Here its becoming cussing in the church to do this 🥴 gotta regulate any and everything so they got sommink to do..🤦
What was the verdict on this prescribed fire with respect to crop yield?
Thanks …very interesting content .
🔥🔥🔥🔥🐶😻😻😻😻
Great Cotent!👍🏻🇺🇲
Lot of cool videos just going through the shorts. Its very interesting to me to see life outside of the suburbs. I have a lot to learn if I want to homestead.
Thanks for sharing good information to know 👍
Time for S’mores!!
I’d be so nervous
Fascinating!
AWESOME👍
Cool

This has been invaluable to me! Thank you! I have been wanting to burn my yard for 3 years. I never would havr thought of using a leaf blower on it
Such a smart idea, and that you brought in a trained professional to help you! He really knew what he was doing ...
Thank you, I found this video interesting. I watched so many off grids but no one so far has mentioned this kind of thing.
Never used a leaf blower but they sure are fantastic 🤠🙏
Why can't they use a lawnmower (At least for plain areas)to cut it before it gets dry and compost it
That's really cool. Thanks for posting this video. ✌️
How did this channel pop up so quickly?
He has been on shorts, and I think he said TicToc.

I'm curious why you don't get a goat or 2 ?
Goats are a lot more trouble to take care of than ducks, and they're known for eroding soil with their feeding and trampling. Mongolia has been having severe issues due to this.
