As a kid, I lived in a very windy part of southern Idaho in the winter times the snow drifts would be deeper than your house, but one method my dad used to keep the snow off of our lane where we lived was he would take his snowplow and plow berms out in the field And he would stop the snow on the field and it wouldn’t accumulate on the road. I thought that was a pretty good idea.
Dunes: On older dunes, grass covers 1st followed by Cottonwood trees, then Oak trees. Wild blueberry plants seem to like it. Suculents often grow in the open areas. Cottonwoods are partucularly good because their surface can adapt to being covered with sand dune and then uncovered years later. It can change from bark to root and then adapt back again. Burrying the bark of most trees can kill the tree.
Also beamazed, scarycherry and fancybanana. They all have content very similar to this, and they all have thumbnails that are insulting to our intelligence. So why do we keep watching? Well I for one find them interesting, so I try to ignore the stupid thumbnails.
Hi Steve, just wanted to thank you for the recent diversity of topics. I love the format of your show and I love how you explore many different topics.
14.25 the fact they used this as one of the sets on "Fallout" makes it so much more real and hard hitting. Unsettling AF to think that one wrong or malicious decision could have us like this in the near future... time for some eye bleach to cheer me up 😂
Grew up and lived in S.W. Lower MI my entire life (I'm pushing 60 now). Never knew there was ever a town of Singapore along the lakeshore here! The more you know, I guess! ;)
Something similar happened here in Australia in a small town called Ceduna, sand shifted on the coastal area. Eventually they moved the town to a ridge a few km away, taking apart and moving many buildings.
Fascinating how in front of our eyes a city vanished and sank under the sand and we are now digging artifacts like an ancient city, don't mess with nature people it never gives up, never forget and never forgive
Thanks for this informative very important video. And I like it when you get your coffee and slip it because it makes me want to have my coffee and slurp mine because I like my coffee hot and you can't just gulp it down. I just keep being entertained by the people that you piss off not intentionally but still entertaining Happy New Year🎉
I live my hole life here in Michigan. This is all true seen most of this my self and still going on today . They are planting more grass and trees to sand in it's place.
A few years ago I remember seeing news footage from Michigan where whole roads were collapsing under the weight of rain and improper digging. It looked terrifying!
@oozin.soozin all of our bridges and main old road are bad . They have replaced many of them now . I would say they have half of them fixed now . But there are still many more to go
The situation with a little 11-year-old fell down a hole for what I understand that was a tree that was buried by the sand and then decomposed but still had the it's its shell there and so the sand was kept around it. Those loose sand on top so the child fell through and into the cavity of the the tree. That's what I had heard on a different show
A surprising number of comments here make no sense, so my first assumption was that you meant wild cats, lol! But I think you mean little digging machines? In the US, we call them Bobcats. I’ve always wanted one, myself. And I’d actually like a wild cat, too, lol. But I currently live in an apartment. So sad. This was an excellent video!
Please stop the unnecessary weird thumbnails. We already like your content and love to watch it. PS: A humble request to please bring back animal documentary videos
@@brandondixon7057 Nah, Just started watching this channel a few weeks ago and I see tons of comments about the thumbnails. They are a little bit disturbing.
Hey you remember what I call “freaky” animal documentaries! I really enjoyed those. I’ve been away so I don’t know when his content grew a little more “grown up,” as I see it. I love the old ones, but I’m super impressed by the impactful relevance of these newer ones.
Good video bud very informative you should do a video about all the ice melting in greenland and antartica and the ocean raising so high it cover where i live to the opposite end of the state philly
Most desert-like environments are not really deserts; except that man's intrusion on them encourages such tranformations. Most areas around the classic deserts are chaparral-like landscapes who's biomes are extremely sensative to motor, cycle and boot traffic (crushing delicate growth structures on top and under the sand) that is the first stage required for the growth of larger, surface plants. Man's distrubance of this delicate biome is a major problem, as it takes only one trail (used a couple dozen times in a year) or one nights open campfire to destroy these structures which (in California's desert/chaparral areas) takes approximately 350 to 450 years to create the classic chaparral forests (environments where trees & shrubs 8-15 ft tall shade the landscape) providing much cooler temps and envrionments for a mulitude of wildlife.
16:30 I'm a little confused here. There was the "Miracle on Mount Baldy" referring to an incident on July 12, 2013. A 6-year-old boy named Nathan Woessner was buried 11' beneath the sand, but he survived after 2 weeks in the hospital. Was there another case where someone's son had been buried 11' under the sand and passed away??
Can you talk about a resource las vegas not only doesn't use but also built on top of. Wtf am i talking about geothermal yes im 100% serious. There use to be streams ponds and geysers yes geysers. We drained them for are steam trains then built on top when it was gone. The streams are still there but only when it rains now and its all in concrete channels not permanent like before.
Sadly, China has been lying about a lot of their reforestation efforts, hopefully not regarding the sand encroachment. Many large areas have been camouflaged or spray painted green. You can't tell from a slight distance. 😶
Having sand keep bury in your house sounds like a good idea. Pretty soon you'll have a new basement and a basement and another basement. Just keep building on top of it and you have a skyscraper underground.
I saw a video where people had been swallowed by the sand on some dune… maybe the same one, and it was discovered that old dead vertical hollowed out tree trunks were buried and that’s what the people were falling into.
Any one any idea about how he does those animations? is it after effects ? is there some light weight or less complicated software to animate some 2d animations and rendering?
If that much sand can bury things that deep in that short period of time, can you imagine what is really still under the sands of the Sahara? Zawi Hogwash doesn't like people thinking like this, though ☺️
They cut down a considerable amount of the trees, mainly heading inland by the sounds of it. Per the video, fires did the immanent damage. Fires that occurred around multiple cities on the same day, probably from a massive lightning storm which can't be controlled.
I love you bro just PLEASE stop talking to us like we SLOW! I'm not sure it's so the video can be longer so you can profit more or something. Anyways love the content as always :D
Temperatures "rapidly rising"? In the US there are only 2 states who's hottest years have been in the 2000's. South Dakota 2006 South Carolina 2012 Californias hottest year? 1913 Oregon 1898 Texas 1993 Florida 1931 Maine 1911 Over 50% of states hottest years on record are early 1900s. So remind me again how global temperatures are 'RAPIDLY' rising?
I generally like your videos but you got some incorrect information regarding the boy's death on an Indiana dune. He survived. Also they know the voids in the sand are from the dune's movement over formerly forested areas. The dead sand-smothered trees rot from the inside out creating these voids over time.
Big trees like that should have roots going 20 to 40 feet out from the tree and the tap root should be 5 to 15 feet down not this mincro ball you always see them have we destroy over 95% of the roots just to move the tree to a new location and go why wont it grow well because the first 5 to 8 years it will focus on growing roots not leafs as its roots were basically completely gone.
The way you state that with such conviction makes me want to come up with a list of silly things that are of way less value than his iconic coffee intro. But people get mad online. And I am not here to cause problems. Enjoy your beverage of choice, sir.
I love this channel. No clickbat, no bs, lots of info and interesting topics
Yep, and no one, NOONE, was shocked. >.

Smart. Snow fences.
Berm is a memorable term
Smart dad ❤
Definitely a lot of snow fences along I-15 in that area.
Dunes:
On older dunes, grass covers 1st followed by Cottonwood trees, then Oak trees. Wild blueberry plants seem to like it. Suculents often grow in the open areas.
Cottonwoods are partucularly good because their surface can adapt to being covered with sand dune and then uncovered years later. It can change from bark to root and then adapt back again. Burrying the bark of most trees can kill the tree.
Ngl WATOP's thumbnails always look like a feverdream
Yeah, what IS THAT black stuff in the thumbnail?

I'm from Michigan and I never knew this history. Thanks.
@0:50 thanks for clarifying about the coffee after yesterday’s debate 😂🙌
Tree roots act as rebar. Makes sense. Too bad we have to keep finding things out the hard way. Greed-driven mistakes. 🤦🏾♂
Just in time for my cup of coffee…sweet! ;)
No matter when I view your videos, it seems like a great time for coffee! Going to make a cup right now before watching!

I love the coffee break. It is a better introduction than most.
Something similar happened here in Australia in a small town called Ceduna, sand shifted on the coastal area. Eventually they moved the town to a ridge a few km away, taking apart and moving many buildings.
I remember sand storms in the news footage from there obliterating the sun. Best wishes from the US. Y’all are hearty souls.
Good info and high production values
Your content gets better and better.
I love your background music! 😊
I love his voice and unobtrusive reminders, too. :)
I love sarcasm!
I love these informative videos. And the COFFEE SUNARMIE. it's great
Dude! Be careful! You were almost hit by that log!
Thank you.....🇺🇸
I think its great that you grab a coffee!!!
Heeey!! Milwaukee here!

Let me just grab a coffee and explain . Slurps and gulps coffee . Great intro
I love your channel. Everyday is like a "you might not know this.." and it is very interesting!

CHICAGO MENTIONED
like the video, respect steve, only you can prevent steve from begging for likes!!
They made a movie about it, it was called Indiana Dunes and the Temple of Doom!
Sawmill of Doom
Wow, I never imagined a place where you have to fight the sand so much. Desert maybe, but I wouldn't have thought this would happen near the coast.
Sounds like a bobcat would be a good investment. You folks call them skidsteers I believe

This was an excellent video!
Something tells me the world is much much more durable than what we give it credit for.
I know, really! In the Book of Revelations, a seven-headed monster will rise out of the sea. There’s no mention of no dunes in the good book!
7:22 The line in the sand is from people, very healthy people climbing the dune, at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. It's darn-near vertical.
Without Chicago 🤔🤔🤔
Sounds wonderful

Isn't floridah just one big sand dune? Or maybe a sandbar.

What is that on your desk, next to your hat?

21:18 this is not the only desert that the saga was filmed in. The open desert and dune scenes were done in the Imperial Dunes of California.

I MAKE MY COFFEE WHEN YOU DO
@WATOP Woesner survived my bro.
The Lorax needs to step up his game.
In at the ground floor!
Singapore is a major port . Probably the investor was hoping to be an important port.
Miss the animal humor...
How can I understand your reason for staying anonymous if you don’t tell us what the reason is?
I saw a video where people had been swallowed by the sand on some dune… maybe the same one, and it was discovered that old dead vertical hollowed out tree trunks were buried and that’s what the people were falling into.
Any one any idea about how he does those animations? is it after effects ? is there some light weight or less complicated software to animate some 2d animations and rendering?
Namibia is the most deserty desert of all.
No wonder Anakin hates sand
If that much sand can bury things that deep in that short period of time, can you imagine what is really still under the sands of the Sahara?
Zawi Hogwash doesn't like people thinking like this, though ☺️
"Sailboats " that size, then. were referred to as ships.
Oregon coast looks duney from zealous tree sales
Isnt those images from Somalia the same from Fallout Series?
"They Cut Down All the Trees Near the Lake, Years Later Everyone Was Shocked"
They cut down a considerable amount of the trees, mainly heading inland by the sounds of it. Per the video, fires did the immanent damage. Fires that occurred around multiple cities on the same day, probably from a massive lightning storm which can't be controlled.
Conclusion, leave mother nature alone🇨🇦
Got to love the shortsightedness of the old timers.
Is this about Nuketown or....?
Who watched the cartoon of the shipping getting filled with logs and ship out and thought "this is exactly like the game Anno"?
I watch all of these?
10:05 Its annoying to me when people wanna preserve old land for basically trash. Not like they can take it in death.
Follow you and enjoy your videos. This one is confusing. Are you talking about the US or Russia in the arctic?
So the question ...is ...will the world one day just be one giant sand dune?
not much old growth forests left
Trivia: what city in Michigan was known as the “furniture city?”
Ok but do you drink your coffee? Cus it not on the table
For sure it's not on table. It's in cup or mug to keep it in control.
Or did you mean coffee drinkers are messy and spill coffee everywhere?
I love you bro just PLEASE stop talking to us like we SLOW! I'm not sure it's so the video can be longer so you can profit more or something. Anyways love the content as always :D
Really now
THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE LOOK TWORDS THE FUTURE
So what's this excuse that we're running out of sand for concrete?
Temperatures "rapidly rising"? In the US there are only 2 states who's hottest years have been in the 2000's.
South Dakota 2006
South Carolina 2012
Californias hottest year? 1913
Oregon 1898
Texas 1993
Florida 1931
Maine 1911
Over 50% of states hottest years on record are early 1900s.
So remind me again how global temperatures are 'RAPIDLY' rising?
Why did bill Gates bury a forrest of trees?

Also they know the voids in the sand are from the dune's movement over formerly forested areas. The dead sand-smothered trees rot from the inside out creating these voids over time.

Researchers found garbage so it is a sacred site? Lol😂
I know how weird I just literally ordered my cup of coffee from Tim Hortons
The amount of times ive heard you say “dunes” in this video 😭😭 its literally every 5 seconds
Dune where's my car 🤣
Fed boi
He's lying about the mount baldy boy not surviving. According to Smithsonian magazine he lived
I guess ,trying to replicate success of the real Singapore during the British occupation?😊😮

Anakin was right.
I know I stopped...but I'm back. Please brew a better looking coffee. The lighting ruins the shot. I will love you forever and watch all your videos.
Would be the 😂😂
can we see the coffee in the next video? ya know just so we know you arent a liar
