Know all about the controlled prescribed burn thing ,Survived 98' and 2000 fighting fire here in Central Florida when Florida was on fire and a lot of that was because they hadn't burned it off in quite a few years Because of the rapid development here. But they are sure keeping up with it now.
As I am watching this video I am sitting in my dozer watching a 1600 acre burn in Georgia. You gave a very good explanation for what we do! Another great video!
The Texas Ranches have a practice of plowing up 10' or more land along fences - and roads. So people driving by don't burn their ranch down. And if a Fire is running - they are out in force cutting a fire break in front of it often from two ends and maybe 4 tractors in a scramble. West Texas are much larger ranches and often burn sections to stimulate plants for wildlife and cattle alike. Grass doesn't grow in the shade. Good info here.
Muck fires can be a nasty headache in the bays. I’m sure y’all planned for that though. I’m not through the whole video yet but hopefully y’all addressed that for people who may think about running their fires to, what they think is only, water. Ahhhhhh, watching the drone shot I see that’s an actual “Bay”. I live in an area of Florida where we have a lot of swamps and swamp bays. Those can be bad. Great video and really clean burn. 👍🏻
💥 a “shooting house” ?? Hank you sure do speak a different language. I’ve heard them called tree stands, hunting blinds, deer blinds, mini cabins or deer stands like we call them in MN. You Floridians I tell ya. *Keep on tractoring!* 👍
That is some fun! They burn here every year! It don't take long for it to get going and it can move fast with just the slightest breeze! Y'all did a good job out there! Have a good weekend!!
On Oz we call that Backburning, releases nitrogen back into the soil and croppers did it for years with stubble etc, sugar cane growers still do it just before they harvest and man you should see the snakes that head out to the roads when they set those fires.
I believe that it helps the environment... About 20 years ago my friend and I were driving a junk car through his grandma's field and caught some dry grass on fire... We got it out out before too long but within a week after the fire that was the greenest patch in the entire field... Pretty cool actually....
Eglin Air Force base in Fl. has won numerous awards from environmental groups because of them gathering up of the poisonous snakes in the area before they have a prescribed burn, and then relocating the snakes to another part of the woods near the base. Also the reason that North America was so fought over by European powers of the 17th century was that the Native Peoples had managed the forests so well by using prescribed fires, that the Timer was of outstanding straightness and strength. When your nation's power was controlled by how how many ships you had in your Navy, this Timber was key
That was interesting Hank. I've seen this done up here in West Virginia a few times. Farmers will do this occasionally in their pasture fields to kill off broom sage and golden rods, as well as iron weeds and golden rods. Amazing how the benefits pay off.
HAY HANK HOWBOUCHA... I like this video I learned a lot from you an Tommy. We couldn't do that here though, way too much fuel, way too dry. We have ( 3 ) wildfires goin right now. Hope to see you usin that backhoe soon, really interested in seein how much it can take. My brother-in-law says we should just get a backhoe, I kinda like havin a P,T,O, to run other implements??? Ida-no we'll figure- it- out. YOU STAY SAFE BE COOL AN KEEP PUSHIN ON MY BROTHER- PEACE... HAY TO GINA AN BRANDELL
Yo, Hank and you're doing pretty good keeping up with Tommy.............including all that a.c. time in the truck. And that person in the dozer better hope that a.c. don't quit. I ran a green D-7 with no cab in 120 degree heat and don't even want to THINK about it now. 85 today was hot enough. Hurts worse or 'More Worser' as a pal says when you get geezerish! Yall remain calm and hold that flat land down. And give Brandle a shout! he probably needs a couple!
We had a wild fire about 8 years ago. I ran home from work. and the fire had crossed onto our land. So I was throwing sprinklers on the roof running water hoses. The wind was blowing about 50-60mph. The fire surrounded my house. I thought me my pitbull and my goat where dead when a dozer came up the steep mountain idk how it was on fire too. He waved at me to follow I threw my goat and my pitbull in the back seat of my truck. And followed him through the fire. We survived house survived he doubled back and made a fire break around my house. Idk who it was to this day but he saved my ass.
Lived out west in washington and was around alot of burning. In fields and in woods. Even spent some time working in actual forest fires. It is quite the spectacle and process to fight forest fires. Dangerous and complicated.
The wildland ffs there know this, trust me, we all do all over the nation and world, it’s common sense to us to do more prescribed burns exponentially more than we are right now, it’s just a matter of funding and getting enough available people to do that, which is done way above even supervisory fire pay grade. Go talk to your senators, representatives, and lawmakers at all levels of your government, that is where these decisions are actually made
That is prety damn cool. I came in by where your at the day after hurricane Michael to resume 2 family members and bring them back Asheville, NC where I live. Tool them back 2 wks later and it was still horrible.
@@Hfoutdoorsyt yeah I couldn't believe it. I left in the middle if Ike but the was like no other. The worst hurricane you guys ever had there. I was there visiting family for the 1 yr deal back in Oct and it was stuff rebuilding and busted up trees and just businesses boarded up flatten and I couldn't believe it was still so ruff. Yesterday was my first videos of your channel, new subscriber. Good content!
Actually, the fire ecology of North America was created and maintained by Native American burning. When they arrived, they took fire away from lightning. What you're doing is carrying on what they started. I've got considerable experience with grassland prescribed fires in the Great Plains. It's clear that the GP grasslands were/are a man-made ecosystem. When fire is removed the grasslands rapidly turn into woodlands.
As crazy as it sounds controlled burns help to lock away carbon for up to 100 years. The burning process like this produces a large amount of charcoal as the hot embers cool off and the fires cool off and as charcoal it will last up to 100 years in the top 24 inches of soil and thousands of years once it gets down to the low oxygen environments deeper in. You start off with it as identifiable chunks of charcoal and over the years it breaks up till it is just a fine powder but still high in carbon locked in the soil.
For those that think the land is being ‘destroyed’ 1. Native Americans did this for hundreds of years to improve grazing land. 2. This one you may have heard of…CALIFORNIA WILD FIRES. How much home damage? All could have been prevented by better land management.
I wish I could do a burn but I've got so much fuel on the ground I don't think it would go out for a year probably burn a hole in the Earth's crust oh yeah and first haha! Drone shots at the end, awesome👍
Its wierd to see when a forest fire happens, seeing the govt come in with tons and tons and miles of vehicles and equipment. And take over a county fair ground or entire small town as a home base. And also employ many locals and local companies equipment andbpay them to help fight fires. We were loggers with dozers skidders trucks dump trucks and our operators to go build roads to get to fires or build fire lines to try and stop fires and haul people and water areas to get water. And buildings to furnish food and breafasts and send bag lunches to firemen and operators that are out fighting fires. People need to see the effort that goes in to dealing with natural disasters like fires floods tornados etc.
Enjoyed this hot and smoky video. The drone footage was awesome. Good seeing Mr. Tommy. Two questions: Do you run any snakes out because of the fire? Do the bases of the standing trees catch on fire? Never seen this before.
yes snakes run out as well as every other living thing that doesn't fly. The base of the tree burns a little but not enough to destroy the tree. The science behind it is really cool. Thanks Terry!
I'm not sure bc my in laws are the ones that do that, but my assumption is it's got something to do with the area we live in. We are at the Gulf of Mexico, so the weather patterns here probably dictate that🤷🏻♂️ I'll ask. Thats an interesting question
If done right it would be perfect for NB Canada. It would prevent uncontrolled fires that may destroy homes and families. Thanks for watching Russell. Have a good one!
YOUNG MAN, WOULD BE I DEAL FOR : FORESTRY DRUM MULCHER / CAN MULCHER BETWEEN 50 FOOT WIDE TO 100 FOOT WIDE C U T ! THEN START YOUR BURNING / WANT HAVE TO BURN ANY THING ELSE !
I seen where they did this where killer bees and fire ants were located.... the bee's it took care of but the ants were smart and they built little boats out of leaves and twigs and sailed across drain ditches and such. They had to herd them into area's and then reset with highly flammable materials and it got them on like three or more tries in some areas. Those ants were taking like twenty acres a day and killing everything in their wake. I couldn't believe how much damage that those ants caused. I seen the horses go down and be eaten alive! This was in Peru south america. There were some nice places there but the people wanted them gone worse. Those ants killed people as well. I have heard that they are on their way to the usa. and are all over mexico.
@@Hfoutdoorsyt So far as I know it happened down by Texas and Louisiana and was happening over a period of five or more years, I read about it in national geographic magazine then kinda researched it. I wish I could remember the exact decade it happened but a short guess is late eighties or nineties... it was on one of those national geographic movies that I did see animals die.
This is really interesting. I mean I've seen actual wild fires. Man. Its nasty. And hot when you got trees 60 feet high that fire up. you can feel the air around you moving. even with no wind. The fire will suck it right up. Good job you guys. I love your vids.
When this isn't done if you live in this kind of area you'll be the first one in front of the news camera saying how terrible this is when you lost everything in a fire they couldn't stop with the wind behind it, or sadly you might be a statistic when it burns you/your family alive in your house one night while sleeping and it sweeps through quickly. It's a natural process thats been happening for thousands of years without man being involved caused by lightening,Basically the weather did it on it's own without mans involvement. But hey if we throw cash at the weather gods for carbon taxes we could stop that so Al Gore and his buddies tell us, while living in their huge mansions, drive or fly round in the most un economical transport, or are out playing on lakes or in the sea with huge fossil fuel powered boats, while having a carbon footprint of a small rural town of 150 people a year. You guys stopping controlled man made burns now are creating more problems and extra insurance expenses/ loss for home owners/ lives than you solved in the environment not doing it. If you see this area in a month or so after some heat and rain most of the garbage will be gone and it will be beautiful green grass and the healthy trees standing. We control burned tall dead grass and garbage on our farm land 6 weeks ago it was black down to the bare dirt after, now it's real nice tall lush grass about a foot or more high again with no dead stuff in it. It also cleaned out the unhealthy or dead trees as well, leaving more resources like water for the more healthy trees close by to survive better . We need trees and plants to help the environment to dead land does nothing for this with rotting plant material released into the atmosphere as well.
Not really No. It's a natural cycle usually started by Lightning and back burning simple controls the burn so it doesn't cause damage or loss of life. Many plant seeds need fire to set them for germination and regrowth, Fire returns and releases Nitrogen to the soil and simply put its a natural cycle that is required by the environment to thrive. If you dont do this you get massive wildfires at temperatures that burn the flora which cant regenerate stripping the earth of plant matter and causing the nutrient rich topsoil to erode and often run into water which damages fauna and fish by polluting the water. Something we learned here in Australia when the ignorant greenie morons in Govt stopped old growth selective logging and slashed the backburn budgets and we had one of the worst fire seasons in forever. Another interesting fact for you Judy is that Hunters and outdoor rec guys and gals are amongst the best environmentalists today as they are in there cleaning and preserving the habitat.

Should make everything more green. Big Smoke.

The drone views was the icing on the cake. Do y'all have a problem with the wild hog population?
Not here. But two hours east of us they do. I love eating wild hog👍
Will be great hunting now great video
Thanks y'all 👍
The powers that be in California, Oregon, Washington, Region 5 forests need to watch this. This is far less expensive than fighting wildfires.
This is true

The issue is liability with smoke and any wildfires that occur from an escape. Contingency is key though.

They burn annually or every two years depending on the condition of the land.
"Too green to burn" looks like its burning pretty good to me. That's how you keep it green, by burning it and getting rid of the fire fuel build up.

We control burned tall dead grass and garbage on our farm land 6 weeks ago it was black down to the bare dirt after, now it's real nice tall lush grass about a foot or more high again with no dead stuff in it. It also cleaned out the unhealthy or dead trees as well, leaving more resources like water for the more healthy trees close by to survive better . We need trees and plants to help the environment to dead land does nothing for this with rotting plant material released into the atmosphere as well.
Don't try this at home!!! Until you have training!!
Very true statement. Thanks for watching
Mixed views on this one. Fascinating video but the other side of me says look at all that pollution and green land destroyed. I get why though...
Yeah, I hear ya. But it is truly good for Mother Nature. Thanks for watching. Have a good one👍

Not really No.
It's a natural cycle usually started by Lightning and back burning simple controls the burn so it doesn't cause damage or loss of life.
Many plant seeds need fire to set them for germination and regrowth, Fire returns and releases Nitrogen to the soil and simply put its a natural cycle that is required by the environment to thrive.
If you dont do this you get massive wildfires at temperatures that burn the flora which cant regenerate stripping the earth of plant matter and causing the nutrient rich topsoil to erode and often run into water which damages fauna and fish by polluting the water.
Something we learned here in Australia when the ignorant greenie morons in Govt stopped old growth selective logging and slashed the backburn budgets and we had one of the worst fire seasons in forever.
Another interesting fact for you Judy is that Hunters and outdoor rec guys and gals are amongst the best environmentalists today as they are in there cleaning and preserving the habitat.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
@@Hfoutdoorsyt yeah but Hank you'd have added some Twang lol
