Excellent video as always. Super informative. This channel has become my favorite because I have learned a lot. You're doing a great job, keep it up girl.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for great information! In Sweden we have had (and are having) the driest and warmest summer in over 200 years and have a total fire ban in most of the country. No open fires at all. Not even gas stoves. And still it's legal to smoke in the woods...
No fire ban in my area of MT at this time, but it's so dry that I'm not driving my ATV across my land or using my tractor and Brushhog to cut grass (in case the blade hits a rock). I need to trim the lower branches of my firs and pines up off the ground to protect them. It's just being aware, even if no ban is in effect.
Great video,very interesting...i use a tub from a washing machine in my yard works very well and will last for years (10 years so far and still solid).Your wisdom and respect for following the rules is a great lesson for all...thanks for sharing.
Howdy Tammy. I'm sorry to hear you are still in a fire ban. We were in stage two, thru the fourth, but have since got enough rain, to be out of both stages. Good info in your video. Keep doing what you do. :) Thanx
That was a nice fire ban lesson👍 Excellent done👌 and in a soothing environment😁 Those fire regulations were very detailed compared to here in Norway...
Great info about fire bans. When we were planning our trip to Colorado I remembered all the times you mentioned fire bans in your videos, so I kept a constant eye on the reports. We lucked out when the ban was lifted the week before our trip! Thanks so much for raising awareness of fire bans!
The propane fire ring looks like something I'll have to look into, bet it uses a lot of fuel. Hope y'all survived the hail storm yesterday, looked pretty bad. You are distractingly good looking in this video Spirit Forest!!! Lets all pray for rain. Have fun and be safe.
The shovel is HUGE...you would be amazed how many of the human caused fires could've been easily put down if you had a shovel handy. Things happen, unexpected things and some quick shoveling is a super effective tool to preventing disaster
Hey T, great video as always. Love your dog he's a good boy. I could spend a whole Summer at Spirit Forest just clearing wood around your camp. Have you thought about making a 2 or 3 sided privacy wall with some wood for when you shower. Just a thought. Enjoy and stay safe!
Go to a appliance dealer that repairs and buy a stainless steel washtub out of a junk washer or dryer. usually you can buy one for less than 30.00 dollars. Put it up on brick or concrete blocks. Light shines out of all the holes and makes some neat patterns. xo xo
Good info (as usual) I think alot of fires that get out is carelessness from people , I think of all the little creatures that burn up and the fireman that that lose their life
I have watching many solo Winter Camping trips and know now why I cannot do any, it's kind of personal but I was going to message you but I can't seem to, so thanks for your encouragement but it's impossible
no as silly as this sounds I tried a direct message but due to my health and other considerations I don't think I could Winter Camp I'll tell you in an EMAIL please give it to me
Tammy when find the time you should stop in your local tractor dealer. They may have a old wheel they are throwing out. Old tractor wheels make great fire rings. Hopefully if you go this route you can find a open center style. If not the shop could cut out the center. Old backpack would ideal to collect the rocks you need when out hiking. Thanks for the fire ban lesson.
Tammy ...do you mind saying how much you charge for your beginning class , and do we get a list of what to bring ? Thank you. Craig Gotta get my fiancé interested in camping and hiking. Help me as always thanks
Your fire ban issue's are pretty darn stringent there. All good if it's that dry. But I think it knocks the crap outa of a epic camping adventure.( Most of the year.) I love the area,it's beautiful. but the rules are tight. The fact that there is alternatives is great. Michigan.
Tammy my 23 year old son saw me watching spirit forest and said who's that I told him and he watched with me a little and said she's hot she might not need to be there because of fire ban lol.
Wow, hefty rules. I'm not saying they are not justified, your fire danger is much higher. It's way more intense than we need to deal with in the Northeast since we get rain weekly (or more often) during the summer. Here we have the same 5 step wheel (with Smokey Bear) at every fire station. And on top there is usually a sign that says "permits" or "no permits". We must go to the station and get a permit for every burn, unless you have a "campfire ring" that is inspected by the FD at the beginning of the season. In that case you can just call and tell them you're going to burn. And if there's sufficient snow cover we can burn without a permit... but again you're supposed to call the FD and let them know.
this is interesting, important, and useful information my Sister & her husband spend summer and winter in Cordillera which is kind of near Balsalt, cutest town ever That Christine Lake fire got started by a couple at a gun range using some kind of bullets that spark (would that constitute explosives? idk) I wish there had been a rule/law and signs instructing them not to do that 😏 coz that fire could/should have been avoided perhaps it is spelled out in the ban and the couple was ignorant of the it? my sister said lots of gun ranges are shut down but that one wasn’t and negligence and/or ignorance has caused needless damage. The estimated cost of firefighting thus far is $16.8 million p.s. It’s awesome how you live in the forest! I can see myself doing that one day 🤞🏼😊
So" am I to understand, In a fire ban. it's either propane or a trangia to cook on ? Please advise. I guess that might not be so bad. Lemons to lemonade right''. big smiles at ya"
I think it is "sick" that most of your fires are caused by lightning, as that can't be controlled, but the situation would be much worse without the bans taking the human part of the equation out. I know this is almost a year after the video but the dangers are the year after year to some extent, some times worse sometimes less. It would be disastrous if beautiful Colorado was to burn.
Hey Tammy mark from Virginia I know fire bans stink but being a volunteer firefighter emt I understand them but does make living a wilderness life style hard but they are important nut really stink
I live in Central California and there are 20 wildfires burning. I work in the railroad industry and all you see is smoke from these massive fires. Our city's air is bad to begin with because we live in the valley and most of California's fires are man made. They caught a suspect who started the Southern California fire.
That's the scrawniest excuse for a long-tailed blackbear I've ever seen. Fire ban? Yeah, what's going on in Cali right now ought to be enough for people to figure it out. The shovel is so you can backhaul the ashes, after using the extinguisher. If you do not do that, sometimes buried embers burst up and restart the fire.
Excellent video as always. Super informative. This channel has become my favorite because I have learned a lot. You're doing a great job, keep it up girl.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi. WATCHING. LOOKING.

Great way to educate people everyone should know about fire bands and follow the rules of it. Safety for all thanks Tammy.
As usual, great work! Thanks for sharing the info. Hope some rain comes and the fire ban goes away for a while. Enjoy that summer!

So scary.. this years weather is different.. I can see it on my land.
Well said Susan, I feel the same way about Spirit Forest and the wonderful job of Tammy. This Viking woman I look forward to each show.
I've seen the baskets from washing machine for fire pits and also truck rims used also
Thanks for sharing! Hopefully you'll get some good rains soon.

That is very responsible.. thanks for sharing.

An excellent video. I, too, get asked ALL the time why I don't have fires. I live in the south, yo, it's basically year-round fire ban. Great video!
Thanks!
Lots of great information about what you are going through! Thanks for sharing!
Your information is helpful thank you.
Great information Tammy! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work!
That was a nice fire ban lesson👍 Excellent done👌 and in a soothing environment😁

Awe pretty dog..very informative..thank you for caring enough to share this. Awesome video.

Happy it was lifted in the area you were in.
Hi Tammy. Thanks the video was good ,I was always wondering what Fire Ban meant? Very informative. Good idea ... see ya next time. Craig. Pa guy
The propane fire ring looks like something I'll have to look into, bet it uses a lot of fuel.
Hope y'all survived the hail storm yesterday, looked pretty bad.
You are distractingly good looking in this video Spirit Forest!!!
Lets all pray for rain.
Have fun and be safe.

Half my state is on fire. We do not have a fire band but we have to by fire permits were it is premitted. Good info
I hope you are safe.. been hearing about the fires you all are having.
This is serious stuff. I hope there is some decent rain soon.
Appreciate the explanation. I think it sucks. Completely understandable to preserve the wilderness. Take care.
Im in Ontario Canada and we are in a fireban as well....its been very dry here...although we had rain last night...woohoo! :)

Awesome video like always, very informative👍🤠
Thank you Yankee!! Do you have fire bans in your area?
Fire can be Friend and Enemy... always handle with kid gloves!
So very true!
👍👍👍😃great info!!!
Currently we have a fire ban in Texas.
Flat tires, trailer chains dragging on the asphalt or concrete cause sparks that starts a lot of grass fires.
Tammy ...do you mind saying how much you charge for your beginning class , and do we get a list of what to bring ? Thank you. Craig Gotta get my fiancé interested in camping and hiking. Help me as always thanks

Half of California is on fire, we are dealing with that, and the high heat and humidity. 😕
Yeah.. I heard about that.. scary
Mmmmm...Bailey's....you should try butterscotch snapps in your hot chocolate too.
Oh yum!!.. that Would be good. Remind me during hot chocolate season. lol
Glad no fire bans in this country
I always love seeing a Rottweiler with a cute tail :) Or a Doberman with floppy ears, for that matter.
AGREE!!

Thanks for sharing this.. it does stink, but better to be safe. And with the right gear we can stay warm.

Happy they caught them.. scary stuff.
I feel camping isnt camping if you dont have a camp fire.....even a small one tocook on.......but thats just me.
Most feel that way.. I guess I am so use to fire bans..
That's the scrawniest excuse for a long-tailed blackbear I've ever seen.
