Remember.... Only YOU... can start forest fires. 😁 I miss doing years of prescribed burns. It was so much fun and the smell's. Always used 50/50 fuel mix in the back fire pot and removed the screen and ball valve safety and seat. Just a straight shot through the bend. Never had a problem in 20+ years doing it that way. Worked great when you used a vehicle to set the fires too.
So let me get this right, you’ve adapted this location so it only grows the trees you want to cut down. So you’re destroying the ozone, hurting this section of land repeatedly, just so you can grow trees you like to reap the land empty.
No the ozone is fine native Americans have been doing this for centuries the reason why they do this is to increase diversity and prevent forest fires in fact most of the forests there were made by burning small areas. In simpler terms they get rid of fuel for large fires and create new life
If you like history, the land historically had frequent fire intervals. Around every 2-5 years there would be fire. This created a ecosystem that became fire dependent and the fire helps the ecosystem rather than hurting it. All of the science backs up prescribed fire. Obviously not all ecosystems had the same tree species composition across the southeast but much of the sandy coastal plains was longleaf pine savannas with wiregrass and other herbaceous plants in the understory. The fire causes that ecosystem to exist, without fire, we get what we see commmonly across the southeast nowadays. hardwood encroachment and full canopies which limits the light that is available in the understory which means less wildflowers and native grasses. Plus, the longleaf pines seeds germinate because of fires so without them we lose that species.
They just explained how it helps the land, the trees need it, the birds need it, the dirt needs it, it helps the grass, the bush and everything else around it
@@packerman7410 ROFL, just what we all need, another sheep assuming that because my opinion doesn't align with theirs that I must be uneducated and ignorant. baaa, baaa.
Guess again. Start by researching longleaf pine ecosystem, then learn about shortleaf, pond pine, pitch pine, oak savannas, table mountain pine, sand pine, the list of species that depend on fire is extensive, and it seems, something to which you are completely oblivious. One SE species, wire grass, will only flower after growing season fire. Guess what that corresponds to? Lightning fires. @@KieraCameron514
the ping pong balls are flammable themselves because of their nitrocellulose content to anyone curious
The balls themselves are inert until injected with glycol
Thank you
This needs to happen in california

Why is it that Georgia can understand woodland conservation but California can't understand anything about conservation?
There a bunch of ducking commies
I understand
The West Coast does prescribed fires, too. Please get your head out of your FOXhole.
Very interesting.
Can we still enjoy visiting a forest if the firemen are doing this?
I don't think SRS is open to the public as it is DoE, not USFS.
Can foreigners join the usda
Just breath deeply
Big box fills reduction projick big box backfire that kill
Southern pines eh? You mean red pine

Also many trees need to be burned to release seeds

And the longleaf pine was quite ubiquitous historically in the coastal plains of the southeas. So without fire we lose a historic southern tree
CO2 helps trees grow bigger politics got your mind twisted
The king burning his land. what a crock.

Research before making ignorant statements based on your bias

Prescribed burning in central and eastern U.S. states is exceedingly stupid. It is necessary however in western states.
You know nothing of eastern US ecosystems or fuel types.
@@Winterascent That would be you, slick. The eastern U.S. is not prone to natural wildfires.

Get some all terrain mowers for fire lines. Make a mower that runs on wood gas, and wood chips
