Gypsum Deserts of Southern Montana

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ส.ค. 2021
- Near the border of Southern Montana and Northern Wyoming we explore some intensely folded portions of the Earth's crust, composed of 300 million year old ocean sediments. This high dry desert is now occupied by some. plants that take on very bizarre forms. just what the hell is an anticline and did its formation 70 million years ago have anything to do with the subduction of the Farallon Plate or is the Farallon unfairly taking the credit for this Orogeny, too?
Physaria pachyphylla is a rare species of mustard that occupies this landscape along with a number of other matted, pincushion plants including Linanthus caespitosa and Oreocarya cana.
*Taxonomic Name of Basin Daisy was misspelled in this episode. Correct spelling is Platyschkuhria integrifolia, not "Platyschkeuria".

You say you don't know why we still watch, then you answer yourself with "I'm just havin' fun, Screamin' at the ground, takin' pictures of plants"...That's why....right there.
Tony, I never get tired of you. Keep showing the beauty of the plants and rocks up close and explaining the botany. Don't change a thing.
I live in Wyoming and Tony has taught me how to appreciate this vast hell scape.
Big sky!!!
👍👍
Tony taught me to see my city as a hellscape, and it's actually kind of beautiful in a horrible way
Went to school in Powell, I could have used these videos back then 😬
Wyoming looks wild, I want to visit someday. Real Marscape.
@@BubblewrapHighway We have mountains in the NW, N and SE part of the state. Desert to the west, sage brush and prairie scattered through out
"That's all I've got for you today".
A big fat pack of interesting and our boy gets modest.
What a delight and surprise to see Physaria pachyphylla. I fondly remember when I discovered that species with my wife.
As in " we were the first" ?
@@KilluahX Yes, I discovered and named the species.
@@LizardBoy007 legend.
Richard Dawkins was cancelled for anti-LGBTQ remarks. Carl Sagan isn't cancelled, probably never will be. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is semi cancelled
Also the eugenics Dawkins supported, for spice.
I love that landscape, very peaceful. Jack & Louie are enjoying it too. Reward them with some extra Pup-Peroni, please. 🐕
The world is a better place with you in it!
Had my first "A-ha moment" this morning. Was watching the new episode of Les Stroud, and he held up a plant (Streptopus amplexifolius) and I immediately heard Professor Tony say, "Parallel venation is a sign of a monocot". Looked it up and realized I am learning. Started reading "Botany in a day", recommended in another episode, but there's no way I'm far enough in yet...I learned it courtesy of CPBBD.
He’s very gooood
I don't comment much, but I do watch all your videos and I have to say the work you do is legendary.
As close to travel as I can afford. Thank you, Tony!
Tony, you are NEVER boring!
"Uh, yeah, hi. . ." always makes my night
Me-Awake too late riveted to the screen.
Him-why am I showing you this? This must be boring as hell.
🤣 Dude this stuff is fascinating!
As one of those offroaders that loves the geology i always try my hardest to help cure my friend's rock and plant blindness - don't know how much it helps but I try to fight the good fight. Stay on trail peeps 🤙
This show keeps me sane, with regular doses of what I need.
Folded mountains
You are one of the few people who knows exactly where he is, and on what geologic plain. I so admire that feat!
And I am not bored! Before you took me to the desert, I was focused on the incoming blizzard tomorrow, and the snow on the ground from yesterday. It seems wondrous that a plant is busy preparing to bloom in the middle of a desert without moisture, as the sky grumbles with an incoming storm.
“like a tweaker mowing his yard”. Hehehe
You are never boring. Love to see how the tough plants are. Love geology.
Got my stickers Tony, Thanks a bunch. I’ll put em in conspicuous places I am fond of. Thanks for helping us be less shit human beings. I may order more art soon we are a fan of your work, respect. Take me t the arciostaphylos dungeon 🌿🌱🌴🌳🌿🌱🌲🌵🌴🌳
They look at the geology real close if they wipeout

I would love to travel with you sometime... it would be so much fun to have you point out all of the interesting plants, formations, and little treasures!! Such a wealth of knowledge!!
Our home is such a gift! The kind best opened with our minds. Wonderful, and instructive videos ! Thanks again.
If possible, could you go back to this place and just push the hippie rock tower over because we absolutely need to see that, just say Jack did it. Thanks so much
That's not a hippie rock tower. It's a shepherd's monument. An old fashion navigation aid. It's been there as long as I can remember. Probably, before hippies. LOL
I dig your teaching style, your opinions on the human condition, and humor.
So much better than watching anything on tv . I love this channel. And this is coming fr9m what Tony would identify as an angry grandpa. No offense taken.
I spent a week at a *Guest Ranch* in Pryor, MT a few years ago..... During the week we never saw an airplane and never saw a single car. We did see one pickup truck carrying folks from one section of a ranch to another, but that was it! Too bad my trip to Montana happened years ago.... Now I'll have to retrace my footsteps to truly use the information you've shared here in the video.
Fascinating how those colonies survive in those tough conditions. The colors of the rock and soil are beautiful. Great money shots.
Thank you for making these, I have learned a lot from you and appreciate that greatly. You keep me around BECAUSE of the commentary, it makes me feel better in this fucked up society knowing I'm not alone in how I feel about things.
To a chemist, 0.24 g per 100 g water isn't "readily" soluble, but it is to a geologist. 🙂
Lmao pretty funny
Stacks & Stacks
Of
Racks on Racks
Tony, my dude, these videos are some of the more relaxing moments of my day. Please keep doing what you are doing, you are awesome at it
And you got to experience the lovely OHV culture we have in this area. Nice.
Addendum: Many of the cairns (rock stacks) in this area were constructed by sheepherders, early settlers, and Native Americans--both historic and prehistoric.
Please keep yelling at the ground and taking pictures of plants!!!!! LMFAO! I love your colorful vocabulary and videos.
Thank You for the lessons and comic relief, a nice treat compared to all the fires out here around me. 😅👍
Man, I so look forward to your Botanical & Geological Walkabouts.The Geology & the Botany go hand in hand. Cheers, from Southern Oregon, where it’s been surreal coastal fog for months (59-78 degrees), because it’s cooking inland. We have a bit more August smokey skies now, though. Thanks 🙏 again.
Such stark beauty. Do you think those survivors up there would make some soil in a hundred years? I was thinking hey Tony, don't kick those little caves in, you never now who might be sheltering from the storm in there...
We just like hearing you talk dude
Right on time, it's been a toughie.
Hi Tony! I have been enjoying your videos while I have been studying to become a green builder. I especially like your cannabis videos and the ones where you climb up a mountain, starve of dehydration and ramble incoherent stories and tell some big thoughts when you reach ontop of the mountain, overlooking the skies
Ey Tony, do you have any recommendations for cool ex-situ endangered/rare plants and cacti to grow from the southwest? Been a big fan since near the inception of the channel. Hit me up if you ever wanna check out a really special 240 acre property nestled in the mountains of Tobacco Valley, Montana. I'm so fortunate to have a bunch of mini habitats and diverse species jammed together up there.
I suspect that growing conditions will not be appropriate in the extreme NW corner of Montana for ex-situ growth of endangered plants from the SW US, unless you are prepared to invest in a fully climate-controlled greenhouse. Seed and vegetatitive propagation materials of such species are likely not available in quantities that would allow you to kill >80% while finding appropriate niches for each species (&/or subspecies) on your "ranch".
@@charleshash4919 Thanks for the comment Charles. I live in Las Vegas and have land in the beautiful NW corner of Montana! Was hoping he'd get up there some day, and was willing to offer a place to stay/explore.
Never boring with native plants !
Thanks, Tony, I did enjoy that, as usual.
I really wish you'd post on Rumble. You're the only reason i come back to YT!
"Screaming at the ground!" Absolutely freakin' beautiful! Come up to the Flathead sometime, too much wildfire smoke right now though.
13:48 those dam rock equilibrist hippies must be stoped
Huh interesting. Ordered a hoodie and shirt from you last week! I love the work you’re doing! The “California Dreamin” shirt really got me😂
Black footed ferret and rock chuck territory too.
From East of England, hi from an old Scottish fossil. Nice one Tony
I love your passion
Nice
I'm in a geology class and a plant taxonomy class right now so I'm happy to report I understood about 70% of this video. My plant professor studies plants that grow on gypsum so I might send this his way.
He's got freedumb! Freedumb on his mind. Thank you for your great reporting from dear old murika
Just south if the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range. Northern limit of Juniperus osteosperma. True desert with less than 25 cm = 10 " mean annual precipitation.
Hi Tony. I am a dude from Denmark who follows you with interest and watches most videos. They are of a high quality and very informative. Which camera do you use? I do not think you see a lot of wildlife, is it due to coincidences or the time of filming? In these exposed environments, the activity is probably greatest at sunrise and sunset. But there is not much activity to see.
Wildlife is sparse in the desert. But it is always there...
Yelling "look at that awesome plant!" ...
Perhaps he's giving wild things a chance to survive.
Another great one Joey
Great scenery! … lots of nice plants, not much in bloom, but a pretty Stanleya!
Thank you Joey for another eye opening venture in our arid landscapes.
Awesome! Cant wait to see what you cover!
Gorgeous landscapes, good to see the plants too.
This is the first time I think I’ve seen another human in these videos.
@internetcoven You missed Tony chatting up the Peruvian sheep herder? Go back two, tree weeks or so, then gfy, bye! :-)
Nicely done!
U certainly make dry barren badlands visits more interesting
Love the badlands mule-ears! Wish I could grow some.
I like the population density of Wyoming
Thanks Tony!!!
👍👍
I love Montana !!!
Just super waxy this fuck😂😂😂 i cant get enough of this. I hike out here during the summer and its great to see you actually made a video a few videos of Montana and Wyoming
sure do.. thanks for sharing
Can't wait i see this at sunday.😃 It has become a tradition for me and my three-year-old son to always watch the latest episode on Sunday mornings.
Perfect.👌
If possible, It would be nice to also see azetium cacti in the wild.
There's a few seldom visited caves in that area. Also home to the only place in Montana that holds a population of chukars (Alectoris chukar). Some cool pictographs in Weatherman Draw just to your northwest.
Stunning video
If you haven't yet check out Sanpete county UT: white and black hills north of Ephraim, maple canyon, manti-la sal mountains, etc. really cool geology
I once went to a Rainbow Gathering around there near Bighorn. That was an... experience.
Can’t wait for you to start on MeansTV🥳
Very interesting geography
That landscape creates some tough ass plants.
Hey, welcome to my home moonscape! Hope your travels are going well man.
Love the rocks!!
Love yr vid from Malaysia
Beautiful sightings you deliver us once again. Wish I could have a break from this concrete jungle.
You're in my neck of the woods!
Thanks! GFY
My friend, the landscape seems sparse, but you put some more life in it.
I know it’s completely off topic, but I thought you might get a kick out of this. Last year my workplace didn’t have any landscaping done because they had no corporate visitors. Weeds invited themselves into the boring wood mulch. Most were shitty stuff like Canada thistle, which I tried, unsuccessfully, to murder. However, a big, honkin’ pokeweed planted itself next to two boring hydrangeas. It actually looked really good next to them because it’s fruits ripened at the same time the hydrangeas turned pink. Well, this year the landscapers are busy poisoning everything that’s not grass (including the native plant rain garden… idiots) but not that pokeweed! It’s blending in with the exotic, patented hybrids and making their sparse landscaping of mostly wood mulch less depressing! It’s very satisfying to see nature take it back and get away with it.
Do you like orchids buddy? If you do I would like to send you some that you could grow. Over the years my collection has grow over grown really so let a brotha know. Carl Sagan is the man too imho.
that lil ant almost got a sting in. she was very flustered when you started moving her plant. LOL. Be careful, man.
Remember to bring a ton of water when your out there.
Yay! Another video :))
Seriously hoping you're going up the Beartooth Pass man. Would love to see you check out the Alpine Tundra up there!!
Wellll done brotha
I will admit I used to be one of those motorcycle kids. It is really fun when you are younger and like one of the only things to do in areas like this other than drugs
Have you noticed the plant margins around harvester ant nests? They enrich the soil, they do down two, three meters deep. There will be a circle of "enhanced growth" around some of their nests. Also, you remind me of a harvester ant, they get just as excited about collecting seeds as you do.
Time for some dabs
Next time you are in Michigan, check out the Rifle River Rec area in Lupton, Michigan. It is a field laboratory for marine and wild life... A botanical haven.
8:54 grasshopper: 😮human!!
There's nothing like tearing up the desert on a high octane lawn mower. Although, there's almost nothing else to do out there. You can't really blame him.
You could look at rocks
"Natural terracing" hahaha please don't ever stop shouting at the ground Joey.
Tony this is my new favorite channel you prick👍🥰
@crimepaysbotanydoesnt thank you for these videos also... ever think of placing pin point locations of these places ? If you have already ... I apologize I work in the sun.
