    My family moved to Jackson, Wyoming in 1988 and soon after, the Yellowstone fires started. I remember seeing Yellowstone before and the year after, with everything burned. Gradually, the lodgepole pine grew back in force and what burned then is now a 30 year old strong, healthy forest. Fire is integral to our region.

      A Lot of the park burned in 1988, 793,000 of 2,221,800 acres, or about 36 percent of the forest and sixty-seven structures, but that is a long way from "everything"... One of those structures was an employee cabin I _could have_ lived in back in the 1981, as I lived a cabin at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge at that time. I worked at the Old Faithful Inn, the Snow Lodge as a Night Auditor, and the Lake Hotel as a temporary painter, over the course of four summers between 1978 to 1982. I also worked at Teton Village at the building where the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra stays that it's rooms were rented by the week in 1982 at non-Festival times. All I had to do was check people in on Sundays and check them out the next Saturday, and sit in the office during the evenings in case anyone needed anything. At sunset you could always find me sitting in front of the Conductors room on the top floor, enjoying the sunset on the Sleeping Indian across the valley... Which was _always_ outstanding!

      Some trees and foliage have evolved with wildfires, to the point where their seeds can only be opened in the presence of fire. Not all fire is harmful, if it's natural and controlled. Smokey the Bear refers to unnatural, uncontrolled fires, which are harmful and can burn everything instead of a small area.

    • @TheStockwell
      @TheStockwell 8 месяцев назад +2

      No offense intended, but Smokey's mantra was "Only you can prevent FOREST fires." The campaign was created because post-WWII campers were driving to parks in record numbers - and had to be told how to put out their campfires completely because, you know: forest and park officials were tracing FOREST fires to campfires.
      If Smokey were around today, he'd either be sounding the alarm about man-made climate change and getting drunk with David Attenborough - or saying climate change is a hoax created by China, Al Gore, and Greta Thunberg.
      He's a bear, so it's hard to predict his reactions to things, you know? 🐻

      ​@@shlingusdingus4174 I hate to be a cranky-pants fact checker, but Smokey was part of a campaign to teach people to correctly put out campfires and to not toss cigarettes out of car windows.

      Yes, but unfortunately people got too good at stopping fires in the late 20th century, so there is decades of deadfall everywhere that should have burned long ago. There is too much fuel, which makes fires harder to control now.

    I love how he says the animals will starve to death this winter without the Pine Forest. Lodgepole Pine forests are a dessert to 99% of Wildlife. they produce almost nothing edible other than pine nuts that only benefit squirrels, pine martins and some birds. Animals do far better in areas that have been burned or clear-cut that they do in the black forest.

    North America is by no means the only continent experiencing such conflagrations. Wildfires are driven by fuels, weather, and topography. Climate change is driving the first two.
