As a citizen of El Paso, I thank you for providing this resource for plant life in the trans-Pecos region of Texas. Your videos have greatly raised my interests in local flora and fauna ecosystems especially in my area and I hope to one day be able to effectively provide assistance in the preservation and maybe even rejuvenation of our local natural resources and ecological wonders. Again, thank you so much _Joey_ and I hope our wind storms chill out next time you visit our little dusty corner of Texas!
I wonder what people think when they actually hear you shouting things like "tell me your secrets you prick!" At a rock in the middle of nowhere and just see a lone man walking about looking at things on the ground lol.
do it, coward! alternatively, just memorize some measures on your fingers, marked by knuckle lines or whatever. I've done this, got some very precise distances in cm on my fingers by nature, funnily enough
ive learned so much about the state i live in from your post. i never knew a cool guy like you could appreciate a prickly rough landscape and see the good in it. Showing us the beauty and amazing ability for them to live without water in the blazing heat.
I read once the natives used to pinch the spine off a yucca and pull it down the stalk. It would detach with a long, ultra strong filament they would use to sew together animal hides. Ready made sewing needle with the thread attached.
Tony,you and Nick Zentner ,CWU are by far the best U tube has to offer,the real world..watch your programs over and over,that latin is tough to retain.how the hell can you recall that much info,I used to think I was a fairly smart person but you blow my mind,dont stop teaching ..please ,love ya brother!
I grew up in Odessa and worked around the oil fields. I have eaten a lot of dirt. This video reminded me of home 👍😎. Miss the thunderstorms and starry nights. North of Andrew’s they plowed sand off the roads in the spring.
The difference in iron composition between the two limestones is unlikely to has been secondary fluids that happened post lithification. Possibly some minor sedimentary influx of Fe bearing clays that petered out over time. It doesn't take much Fe percentage wise to change the color significantly
What amazes me is how much crossover knowledge there is between botany and geology. Obviously it makes perfect sense, but somehow it never crossed my mind.
Can you make a quick video about how to deal with the authorities when they approach you in the wild? I've had a few humorous interactions and I'm curious about your tactics. thanks! be well brother
I love your stuff, especially west Texas... I was born and raised out there. Sorry you had the dust, it's not a regular occurrence like Lubbock, Amarillo etc.
Yes my good man you are definitely an extremely windy windy day blocking out the Sun and everything else that's a lot of sand up there in this sky Sandstorm heaven or hell
how many areas of USA that you have visited are directly affected by the loss of large herds of migrating herbivores? by that I mean if you were to put them back would you say there would be a change toward the normalisation of the local ecology?
For anyone wanting to support the channel, I can heartily recommend the merch. I got the "CPBBD" t-shirt and the "Department of Unauthorised Forestry" hoodie and both are excellent! The hoodie especially is one of the best I have ever owned, and is generously sized and extremely warm and comfortable. Support the channel, you salty degenerates! Dog Xanax doesn't buy itself :)
Come on up to Lubbock. We got some Texas Blueweed, some wonderful smelling alfalfa, and my personal favorite opening here for the next few weeks only apricot globemallow. Globemallow blooms in full sun early June, smells amazing.
During contact metamorphism, if the right minerals are present in the protolith, chemical reactions can happen to form new minerals. A good example of this is where a limestone rock, made mostly of CaCO3, contains some quartz grains (SiO2). Think of a coral reef near a coastal beach where river sand might wash into the limestone forming environment. The heat of contact metamorphism drives the chemical reaction: CaCO3 + SiO2 => CaSiO3 + CO2 This forms a new mineral called Wolastonite with the formula CaSiO3.
When the bomb squad replaces their equipment you can get their used telescoping mirrors, they use all sizes, some are convex. That's how you see those yucca flowers
Not certain how to e-mail you, I have a burning question, can’t find literature on the theory. Do yo know of anything relating to specific geological make up and California poppy color? I have been told that the more yellow variant of the California poppy (Prevalent along the coast of California more so than inland) was due to a higher content of calcium in the soils. While this makes sense to me since those variants are minute east of the immediate coast. Most commercially produced poppy color variants are sporophytic not related to historical population growth areas. Any thoughts? Thanks and GFY
@@midesti - among the commercially produced poppies it is a sporophytic causing the mutations, especially with regards to white poppies, however this amid wild populations. There are about 90 variations of the poppy in California alone, it makes sense to me if some natives are more suited to serpentine soils, and can mutate with regard to that, then why not other soils with higher mineral content
@@iangillham9647 - nice to hear from you, I am specifically referring to native California poppies in California. I will have to look up Welsh Poppies, they sound delightful
Agave don't fuck around. What cactus or succulents could I plant that are endangered to help preserve the species? Like those ones you got in Texas by the border?
I hate it when new species are named after people too - it's a banal ego flex, and leaves later generations absolutely no scientific derivation in the nomenclature with which to immediately and easily classify the plant/animal/whatever the fuck else in question. It's literally the opposite of scientific categorization.

When even the coyotes are getting mummified you know you’re in a mean landscape...
I found a bobcat like that, once. Dried out like a cracker under a porch. But, it was spring in New Hampshire- must have freeze dried over the winter.
I wonder what people think when they actually hear you shouting things like "tell me your secrets you prick!" At a rock in the middle of nowhere and just see a lone man walking about looking at things on the ground lol.
I'd assume a guy was looking at a rock, but that's pribly because I'm also that guy. Hmmm.
With a camera recording lol
its better than the smackhead i see stealing trollies from stores.
As an entomologist, I wish I had a tape measure on my finger to measure insects. What a great idea!
As an archaeologist, I wish the same for artifacts.
do it, coward! alternatively, just memorize some measures on your fingers, marked by knuckle lines or whatever. I've done this, got some very precise distances in cm on my fingers by nature, funnily enough
You could use it to measure your wiener too 🤣
@@joefization why not just put the measure on the wiener, kill two birds with one stone
@@joefization You sure could.
My mouth and breath is now crunchy from all the dust from this vid.
You in a dust storm is still better than 90% of what's on here. Thanks for showing us.
@@reptilez howdy my friend! Hope ur well 😃
ive learned so much about the state i live in from your post. i never knew a cool guy like you could appreciate a prickly rough landscape and see the good in it. Showing us the beauty and amazing ability for them to live without water in the blazing heat.
"I had too much coffee" will be on his headstone
Desert plants making a living in rough terrain. Respect.
Botanizing Mars, you have outdone yourself this time!
Thank you Joey, when in doubt, please make a video. I always get something out of what you put up.
I enjoy your disjointed rants and ramblings, always entertaining...and I learn a few things while listening, so it’s a win-win in my book. 👍
That person at 1:16 and the crazy wind and the dust blocking the sun is kinda creepy honestly.
Kinda?
The amount of knowledge per video is astounding, extremely entertaining too. Keep up the good work

Didn't know that the plant life on mars was this abundant.
Thanks for seeing the beauty of the desert and turning others on to it.
Love watching these videos to learn more on the botany of the state I've moved to. Gives me more things to seek out on weekends.
3:25 my cat came from the other room to give me a serious "what the fuck are you watching?" face.
You my friend are an absolute G!
Thank you for the porn
Love & Peace from West Yorks, UK
Thank you for showing West Texas some love! Even though we have crazy weather
I love your videos because you cover both things in interested in. Botany and geology
had to dust the inside of my computer screen
This guy, I tell ya. He makes me laugh, I learn shit. Freakin great. What a champ.
The upgraded quality of the video really shows when you get close for detail, looks great! Thanks.
its fascinating how similar the spines look compared to the grass.
With our special guest: Wind noise
What amazes me is how much crossover knowledge there is between botany and geology. Obviously it makes perfect sense, but somehow it never crossed my mind.
Your lungs must be really hating it. Thanks for another fine video!
This was the first video of Tony's I watched and got me hooked.
Love your videos! I’m from the west Texas area. We always look at the sun during the day while in a dust storm. Not so much at night though 🤪
Can you make a quick video about how to deal with the authorities when they approach you in the wild? I've had a few humorous interactions and I'm curious about your tactics. thanks! be well brother
Those redwings are the best boots , hands down!
I love the plants that grow in west Texas. I need to get back there and do some hiking in the winter. Thank you for sharing.
video about my neck of the woods I’m
Stoked!
I will never get tired of listening to you speak mate haha
just listened to your podcast where you mentioned the broken windshield. good stuff
I love your stuff, especially west Texas... I was born and raised out there. Sorry you had the dust, it's not a regular occurrence like Lubbock, Amarillo etc.
Your ramblings are like a cool drink in the desert
3:21 holy shit the wind sound, this is like ANTI-ASMR
That Glandulicactus is so cool! And, the Berberis (agarita to me) might look mean but it makes a delicious fruit..
Be sure to like the video
“Short for me is like 10 minutes long” 17 min into the video 😂😂 love it!
Hell Yeah another one of my favorite time sinks and new passion
You are awesome dude!
Oh how I do not miss these storms from my childhood.
Hills Have Eyes looking dude up on the cliff was creepy as fuck lol
You mentioned in an earlier video once the New Zealand Yukka. Would that be what we refer to as Cabbage Trees?
Crazy that dog was sleeping in such a storm
Yes my good man you are definitely an extremely windy windy day blocking out the Sun and everything else that's a lot of sand up there in this sky
Sandstorm heaven or hell
I wondered what that music was, thanks.
Love your videos dude. I appreciate the time you take to share your knowledge. Anyways. Fuckoff I got work to do
Hey Tommy, hope you're good and where nowhere near the train yard shooting that happened yesterday in northern California.
how many areas of USA that you have visited are directly affected by the loss of large herds of migrating herbivores? by that I mean if you were to put them back would you say there would be a change toward the normalisation of the local ecology?
we love your rants as much as your knowledge of plants
That sand storm had me worried Houthi rebels were going to outflank you.
A perfect day to frolic in a forbidding landscape.
Do you like sotol?
I could taste this video
Great vid!!! I love all of the things I learn from you.
Nice, thanks Joe.
Dust-goggles for the daaags, please! GFY. Bye.
Neat berber trifoliate. I like my trifoliate orange plant here in the SE
Fuck yeah. Climb that shit and tell us curious fucks what's what. Thank you!
I have a 15 year old agave (not sure of the species) and a young Solanum quitoense growing indoors, and you know it when you bump into them.
My aloe ferox is getting harder to water every year. Pointy bastards.
That sky looks almost exactly like pictures from Mars
The Cactus Savior 💦 🌵
Don't forget to come back to CA for wildfire season.
Yeah
Seeing the sun like that reminds me of a sunset on Mars.
Cool shit! Thanks for documenting the dust storm!
Never noticed the tat at 14:50 before ! kewl idea.
You need to get one of those fluffy mic guards for the wind haha still a cool video :p

i dont know why but i love this one
Was there just a random person sitting on top of that rock formation during those crazy winds?
Hippies smh
You mean serial killers?
@@discblaster9210 haha maybe. That's not too unlikely. but the shot we get of that guy gives me hippie vibes. Maybe it's both! a hippie serial killer.
The only place I’ve been with meaner dust storms is Kuwait. Nothing like a mouth full of sand to wear your teeth down.
Thanks for that.
Are those yuccas the same as the Joshua trees? They look pretty similar to a non-botanist.
When the bomb squad replaces their equipment you can get their used telescoping mirrors, they use all sizes, some are convex. That's how you see those yucca flowers
Impale me! Oh, sweet rugged agave how you've thrived....
3:20 holy shit that wind is crazy
Wore one of the unofficial department of forestry or whatever it says at work and someone recognized it, huh

It's probably more complicated than that. I feel like genetics would be the primary determining factor.

“Welsh Poppies” are actually poppies (it’s not just a. Common name) and are actually yellow....comment from Wales in the middle of rainstorms!
@@iangillham9647 - nice to hear from you, I am specifically referring to native California poppies in California. I will have to look up Welsh Poppies, they sound delightful
Nice! I should probably get my lazy ass to look this up but can you tell the age of the yucca by its height roughly?
Good question. Desert perennials tend to grow on spurts dependent on heavy rain years. I'd imagine this one's quite a few decades
Agave don't fuck around. What cactus or succulents could I plant that are endangered to help preserve the species? Like those ones you got in Texas by the border?
on mars the sun can look pretty blue from all the dust like in this video
That guy up on the cliff was a lookout for the cartel
Hi plant daddy

holy shit box barracuda flash bro!!! You were on Mars!!!!
You definitely know yr shit...👍
correction: you can stare at the sun, but only during totality. It's during the end of totality where all the eye-burning happens, so watch your time.
Look at that leaf skyrocketing
The prelude is worth 3 likes !!!
