- In this episode of Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't, we explore the Spring Mountains just outside Las Vegas. We begin the episode by calling attention to Kyle & Chad's unnecessary and illegal campfire, one of which started a massive wildfire (the Mahogany Fire) in this exact area a mere two weeks after this episode was filmed. At the time of writing, it is still only 10% contained.
We see a number of subspecies and distinct varieties of more widespread plants that are all endemic to this mountain range, having been isolated from their counterparts by oceans of hotter, lower-altitude desert for tens of thousands of years.

When he calls me a salty degenerate it feels like he truly means it. He's right.
It's hard not to be salty right about now, it applies to most of us for sure..
His videos gave me the corolla virus
@@omnirath atleast it's a Toyota, those shits dont break in til 300,000 miles...
And I think thats just beautiful
...and that’s MIZ Salty DeGenerate, young man...
You’re an international treasure. Keep up the good work.
I'm a Vegas resident and it's seriously nauseating how the few spots of nature available to the general public get treated like a fuckin' New York sidewalk. The moment I heard about the Mahogany fire I immediately knew it was some dipshit that started it and it was just 2 days later that it was confirmed.
Big same
As a fellow Las vegan, I concur. Our compatriots are fuckin slobs.
Lots of Californians living here and RV-ing across the country, they dont care. But it also just a lot of people from places they fucked up
I cried to this, i was the stereotypical kyle , Salvia apiana bush burning , campfire having, pooping in the campfire headass, but u kicked me in the groin and I understand the truth now thanks joey
Never have I seen a more useful finger tattoo
You don't want to see the tattoo he uses to measure ten inches
@@1marcelo 😂
I wasn't going to get a tattoo but now that could be pretty handy
@@Treecareproj I thought the same. A precise ruler would be the only tattoo I'd be interested in getting. Though, I read once that finger tattoos (like these) don't always last without getting a bit smudged or warped over time, so the ruler on your finger might not always be totally accurate, unfortunately. Still a super cool concept.
Most of My horticulturist friends like this guy and I’m pretty sure we all horticulturist now contemplating getting his tattoo
When he says "oh look there's a guy in there" I can't help but smile
“A man could be a lover and defender of the wilderness without ever in his lifetime leaving the boundaries of asphalt, powerlines, and right-angled surfaces. We need wilderness whether or not we ever set foot in it. We need a refuge even though we may never need to set foot in it. We need the possibility of escape as surely as we need hope; without it the life of the cities would drive all men into crime or drugs or psychoanalysis.”
― Edward Abbey
with or without it, psychoanalysis is a necessity.
Or rather, we are nature reflected back on itself.
Such an original guy, taking us on a totally unique nature adventure. So refreshingly evocative. Pure genius. Thanks a’million.
Love you crazy bastard, we're all salty, forget about it, be safe and thank you for being my favorite teacher!
The bonus of being in a place like that is the absence of light or fire at night. To look up and actually see the milky way is so much more satisfying than tearing shit up for a fire.
"Am I a little salty today?" No more than any other day! But it is legit so keep it up please
People really underestimate the dangers of a “simple” campfire and it annoys me. I calmly tell and show people how to keep a campfire in control and how to properly put it out but they respond “fire Hot! Throw plastic and cans in! Breathe! Yay! Throw a fresh aspen in there, stack dry leaves right next to it”. And I get yelled at when trying to fix everything. 😂
That's when maybe ya just get ahold of some hbwr seeds. Extract the lsa. And find a chance to dose them with enough to make them experience ego death or maybe even just straight up become mentally shattered and so they are stuck in a hospital bed forever
"see those rocks standing over there, they've been there for over 600 million years and they'll still be there when you and I are gone, no arguing over who owns them.." Crocodile Dundee
Pete R. Puller Why did you crap on your own fire pit then?😃
Not even the atoms in "your" body are yours. You just rent them from the universe.
I love it. It is true about the people that take their $50,000 Jeep or whatever their driving and come up and burn a branch that's taken decades to grow edges started on fire thank you for calling all those people out bro
Another magic trip to the hills! Thank you for sanity amid the madness.
I was born and raised in Las Vegas. The spring mountains were a beautiful respite from the long desert summers we had there. Unfortunately the town grew and spread like a non native plant species, harboring many dimwit knuckleheads who take a desert oasis for granted.
Yep they destroyed the shit out of the mtn ranges with graffiti trash and loud music. Maybe they should “Rub their ass with some salvia and go f themselves....
If he’s my Botany professor, I’ll go back to college, and I’m 60!!
Hey Buddy,
I simply love your videos,
I like your dialect, your direct language, style, knowledge, almost everything.
You see beautieness where others just notice stones and arid landscapes.
Your set up, editing with botanic names and such is great, keep the good things up, my friend.
Aren't cactus spines some kinda mutated leaves, too?
Greetings from far away, here in Germany there's nice places, too, but very different.
Love someone who swears as much as me lol. But seriously, very informative and entertaining.
Thank you for the video good sir. Love you take care
Love the addition of the elevation info in the beginning!
Always enjoy a 40 min salty nature walk with ya bud
Greetings from Australia. I have been watching and marvelling on your take on life for quite a while now. I am an amateur biologist - big garden, 200 acres of Covenanted bushland - 300 species of damp sclerophyll on the side of a volcano. Dryish Ridges and fern gullies - red clay and white sand areas. I’m now 80 so things are slowing down. Don’t mind the salty language or your impression of the crazies. We have our share too.
I woke up feeling extra salty today. This is nice
A real cool idea would be to utilize a heat gauge. I'd love to see the temperatures the cuticle is withstanding.
I think there are laser thermometers you can order one on Amazon and have it delivered to him! That sounds great!

The ‘pew pew shaped ones’ can only be a description of a gun from a father of small children. Made me laugh almost as hard as Joey does!
That sky is beautiful
Cute and mean😏 A lovely juxtaposition in plants and people.
I live next to Nellis and those jets drive me insane. Not so much the noise, but the constant and angering reminder of our country's priorities. Living around the working poor and listening to the air force burn millions in a few hours is a mindfuck.
As a fellow Las vegan, I agree & just commented so you know you're not alone. Btw you should research the proposed reduction of DNWR for military usage...
@@QtmMtrlzr been reading about it. One of the most depressing bit of news I heard this week.
The "aw yeahs" resonate, when admiring and lauding the evolutionary adaptations, structure, and architecture of gorgeous corollas.... The basic human reaction of "whoa" to something that strikes us as so unequivocally beautiful..... What is it, this 'beauty' thing?..... We all feel it..... There is strength and life giving power in its realization........ This force that humans, despite all of our atrocities, have the ability to feel/observe..... Forget 'trash or treasure' theories, that Frasera is hella beautiful.... Gentiana affinis ovata is about to pop at Bull Point, Pt. Reyes... Some were opening up on Wednesday.
Thank you for being alive. Thank you for having the courage to do what you do. You are a real legend mate. If you ever want to traipse around basalt and granite on the western slope, I would love a lesson.
“Frustrated apes in cages of our own making”. Too damn right. I’m 100% with you on the campfire thing too. What’s with it. And then they haul out the marshmallows so they can ingest some cinders. Honestly, humanoids...
I love it when there's one of these uploaded while I'm at work.
Thanks Sir. Your mention of the ape's cage reminded me to read Jack London's Jacket again, after decades.
As a salty LV resident that frequents the spring mountains, this video pleases me greatly
Your videos are always so colourful and beautifully filmed, like I'm actually there. Medicinal herbs are always a fascinating addition. Keep up the fantastic output... Thank you!
Yeah, a shame what people do to amuse themselves. couple of classic moments , like that remark on seed dispersal , I actually predicted that comment , oh ! , and the phallus tree, it was a crack-up! Jack and Louie , always by your side , good guys. enjoyed the video, thanks Tony, fascinating stuff in the rock flows of the desert , as usual, thumbs up.
I enjoy the misanthropy. It sets the perfect mood for admiring the rest of nature.
Some of the best commentary on the flippin' interwebs. Keep it up.
The first minute and a half really resonated
I see so much beauty in that Forest
I would actually love to walk around to that and do some hammock camping but I do not bother with campfires never did and never will
You're the Doug Stanhope of botany. Godspeed sir!
the fact that i always catch your vids right after they were uploaded means you either do that first thing in the (very early) morning or last thing of the (very late) night lol. Love your shit
Up here in BC, the pine trees burn pretty good when they're still wet. The needles make neat little crackling noises.
'Lineiifolio' is a very Aussie way of naming things. We like to use the Bleedingly Obvious for our naming of things: So many creeks named Deadman Creek, so many beaches named Five Mile beach etc, then there's Shark Bay and Big Bend [on a river]. My home town is actually called Townsville. But it's named after a guy named Towns #mighthavebeenaprick.
Haha - wikipedia confirms he indeed was a prick, even for his time: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Towns
(linariifolia actually means "toadflax-leaved", so this is also not as obvious as it looks at first).
I grew up near Aplins weir. Left 30 years ago. Small world.
😍😂😂I jus found your channel ... I'm HOOKED on you videos😍Tats all I needed guy....another addiction 😫😫 been addicted to growin plants & herbal remedies since I figured out how tf to read 😂😂😂
💜Much appreciated, thank you Sir !!!!
30:50 What an amazingly beautiful flower! :O Also, "Full frontal" under the drawing of that flowering cactus would make a great shirt XD
Thanks for tree identifications,much better than pics in book! Nice hiking with you.
Thank you and thank you again. You're the best.
Thank you , delightful scenery!!! To hear your sight , those plants all have personalities. I could spend a lot of time on that entertainment. Pleasurable company indeed ! And it comes with air ! I’ll stay home and be glad you see it.
Dissilient seed dispersal has got to be one of my favs.
Hey Joe, Tell Karen to Likka my Fikka......You are the greatest entertainment left to mankind, save the best for last. PEACE
Nice!
Thank You ! :)
Such a great video … love the learning DYC
"Caryx species right there, that I'm not familiar with, they scare me"
Me when I can't identify a plant
I clicked because blue spots on flower. This guy really knows what plants is going to get people to click haha
The ruler tattoo on his middle finger, tho. This guy is truly brilliant.
0:26 damn that described my depressing life perfectly (except without the illegal campfire part)
Thanks again for your information.
Have you ever seen the evolutionary adaptations of the South African Fynbos? Its the most diverse ecosystem of plants in the world and you wouldn't even notice until you look very closely.
Nice Pinus, dude!
I feel a lot calmer too 👍
Glad to see ya back Brudda
aw man it's so cool you were near my town!
Splendid!
YAYYY!! So happy you did a vid of Southern NV
Love your videos thank you
I usually use the national park signs for firewood.
Would love to see an episode in the Jemez Mountains of NM. Also referred to as sky islands. Love the show thanks!
Its beautiful out there, thats for sure
@@TheUnholyPosole no you didnt you liar, youtube seems to keep deleting my less than PC reply to this.
Thank you 🙏,I needed this 🥲
1500-1600 years? Good god. I knew some trees lived for hundreds of years but that’s agessss. Cool
Music to my ears
Great video
🖖
i had the play back speed set to 1.25 thought our friend was coked tf out
Thank you for making my drives to my personal 9 to 5 hell tolerable.
You are such a gem. I will protect you at all cost!
Thanks for another great video. You really do us all service. On another note, Abies concolor is the best tasting fir tree. Nibble a needle, it's like tangerine pine. Yummy! The first time I saw one I took a sample to identify, and some other guy back at the shop (landscaping in my youth) just tasted it and told me what it was. The horticultural varieties available here in Maine hold their needles flat, but my copy of Dirr says they 'should' be like what you have there.
Great video as always.
I fully expect some botanist to name a plant after this guy someday. Especially as much as he shits on naming plants after people. It's an inevitability.
Oh! I do love a good brassica! Thank you for sharing that one, it is beautiful. 🌱
Also I commented too early. I had to pause the video and wring my hands when you started talking about the illegal fire pits. How could anyone DO that to those trees?!
Wow. I had to rip apart and naturalize every illegal fire ring so that it looked like it never happened when I was a ranger. If only I’d just stuck a flag in it🤷🏻♀️
4:43 "angry comment or somethin" 😅🤣🤣 no pic needed!!
Love the Crags !!
Check out those BRAACTS!
7:50 imagine being this guy and just standing there while he yells at plants
What branch were you in?
I love this video!
I miss living in the desert, and this video brings me home.
I love your channel. I'd also love to get you out to the East Coast to look at our flora and fauna. I know maybe most of them aren't so dramatic like what you get in the West, but there's still a shit ton of trees n shit here!
[26:40] "I'm surprised Kyle didn't want to take his truck up here" 😂 Fun fact: the southern Brazilian version of Kyle are called "Enzo"
Good show lad
We have a plant similar to that Frasera albomarginata here on the east coast by the name of the American Columbo. It takes several decades to flower but when it does the flowers look very similar.
5:01 Plenty of ponderosa pines in Central Otago, New Zealand but I never seen them in their natural habitat
love the videos man, maybe you could make a list in the description of the plants you ran into each episode, greetings from belgium
He normally does
People can be so foul and incredibly selfish. To me, the mentality that causes you to think that wearing a mask during a pandemic is a violation of your civil rights also makes you think it's your right to build an illegal fire you don't need with wood from a 300 year old tree. Appreciate the shout out on this stupidity on behalf of my bf, who is working as a volunteer fireman in Northern CA and encounters a lot of the Karens, Chads, and Kyles in the wild.
@@thegoodtom1718 I stand corrected :-).
**definitely don't recommend you eat LSD and look really close at these plants**
(aka definitely do recommend)
Can confirm, do it.
Nothing worse than consuming a psychedelic substance and wandering in the forest admiring endemic plant species
Interesting episode...
Cold high desert forest--ey type habitat does seem to result in similar adaptations as some of the high andes south america stuff. Dwarf rosaceae trees and mat forming plants.
Lower elevation, but higher latitude. Atmosphere is thinner further from the equator, and there is of course winter.
Jumping Spider I’ve lived in the area for a while, and it never ceases to amaze me with the diversity of life. I’m willing to bet the microbiology is pretty wild, but alas I am a poor commoner who just does the botany/naturalist stuff in between work.
9 minutes ago? Guess I'll be leaving late for work.
Its cool work isn't all that interesting anyways.
Botany is better than work!
Work pays but botany doesn't
@@OrangevayaMysh amazing
Ay Joey I'm up here in Reno studying for the arborist exam. Come on up here and take me and my gal on a hike and teach us about the local flora, huh? Teach us about gypsophilic soils, eh? Whattaya say?
That tree being picked apart to burn is fucking disgusting. I off-road, but always stay on the trails and make sure I'm not destroying anything. Leave it better than you found it!
Thank you!
My favorite Tony Santoro line: "Anyway..."
"Frustrated apes in cages of our own making." Yup.
