Thanks a fucking funny joke. Farms take vast swathes of wildland and turn them into grasslands with little diversity. Out west farmers are using vast amounts of waters purely to export crop to places like Saudi Arabian. Fertilizer runoff is incredibly bad for our waterways. If it's not organic, it's contributing negatively to the environment.

@@Jon-g2d5k Before the Forest Service took over with all fire being surpressed (about 1950), the cattle were grazed on wild land. They grazed in wooded areas - oak and pine in northern California. In the fall, the 'cowboys' would go out, gather and push the cattle out (on horseback). As they moved the cattle out, they would toss matches behind them. That started the short (because it had been grazed), which then caught the small brush on fire. Since they did this yearly, there was not a lot of undergrowth, so the trees did not catch fire. There were way fewer forest fires, and almost all were caused by lightning. How do I know this? From an uncle's (by marriage) father who was actually one of the people who pushed the cattle out. In the spring, the next year's cattle were put out there to graze, and that yearly cycle began again. Even the lightning started fires were not as bad because the understory of vegetation was not there.
Thanks Trinity. I've logged for over 35 years and raised beef cattle and horses for most of that time. You are right on with the facts. I can't think of anyone who loves the land more than someone who works in it, nor who has more incentive to take care of it. love your videos! keep them coming! God bless you too.
I live adjacent to state forest and love the cattle that roam each summer. I see no signs of erosion or negative impact on the land, they are an asset!❤
Nailed it.. I used to live near Kalispell so I fully understand..everyone needs to start living in reality and accept personal responsibility and live in truth, logic and commen sense. Thank you sir..
I applaud your effort here Trinity. You are trying to reason with safe space mental cases that think eating bugs is better than beef. They have grown up without an intact family, lectured by Libs and confused by everything from the environment to what gender they are. We are in the last Good Ol Days.
@LifeintheWest I agree the good old days are slipping by too quickly. I fear that our society and American Heritage are past the point of no return. Ignorance rules the day.
So well said same thing is happening here in UK, Ireland and Europe genetally and they are trying to get rid of farmers and animals. People need to start realising they are being manipulated and that farners, ranchers those who work the land will have excellent knowledge and experience on whats good for the land and its environment. Keep putting out these vids Trinity, best wishes from UK 👏
I’ve been an outdoorsman all my life. I’ve always known that those who live, work, and play in the western outdoors know the truths you spoke in this video. It’s those who live in urban cities (about 80% of US population), who know little about our natural land’s flora and fauna, whose ignorance and emotions drive these new public policies to the detriment of all. If you want to preserve the flora and fauna, it needs to be managed by those who understand it, not those who sit in their urban homes looking at photos and videos of places they have never visited and do not understand. Good job with this post!
Amen to what you said. You can also include allowing the general population (incl the 80% of city dwellers) to make laws about hunting apex predators. 😡
All you have presented in this video is reality !!! Thank you for being so forthright. Everyone needs to more fully understand all of these situations.. THANK YOU..
Trinity you are really spot on in every subject you delve into in your videos it's just to bad more people can't understand what is really happening and so wrong with so much of what is going on in today's government. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with as many that will listen to your real common sense approach to so many problems.
@@LifeintheWest Dude your care and management of the land begins and ends with what is best for the ranching industry and your way of life. Your fences kill more elk and deer every year than ppl can imagine and there is no reporting process for any of this. Ranching is dying and it will be gone before long. It's time to start developing the future with the understanding we are the Indians and the same govt is doing the same thing to us now it did to them.
Everything you said is good advice and knowledge. You and all the ranchers knows what's going on our land. You and Calibar keep doing what you're doing. Great video Amigo.
I grew up in south eastern Montana in a ranching community that raised beef. We grew up learning “range management “ from our families and our 4-H leaders. We learned about native grasses and how to take care to preserve them and also proper farming so as not to cause erosion and to take care of the land. We were taught from a very young age to take care of the land all while running thousands of head of cattle. This goes all the way back to the days of big ranches in that part of Montana. We were managing just fine and it was a wonderful, productive life lived in harmony with God’s creation. Then some with other ideas and plans started creating government bureaucracies (staffed by people who had been indoctrinated at universities far removed from reality and common sense and the land )to come in and dictate what the rancher could do with his own land. I am in my seventies now and the community I grew up in doesn’t exist anymore. Big corporations came in and bought up the land. I admire those who have stayed and try to carry on a vital industry and wonderful way of life.
Mister you nailed it, l worked on three different contracts thinning trees for that very reason, on the buckskin mountain in Arizona, a huge fire burned millions of acres of forest, caused by a lightning 🌩️ strike. Thinning trees made it much safer , it employed my self and crew. We created thousands of chords of fire wood which in turn helped thousands of people provide for their families in the winter, it is a win win for everyone to manage nature. Cw
Have' been follow you for a while just because I want to know the cowboys life. This is an intellectual stuff. You portray the reality beautifully. I was blow away. Many... many thanks.
I think this 1 was 1 of your best, emotions is exactly what gets in the Way of good logical thinking. I am 69 year old and I grew on a farm. I've done ranching I've lived in cities. And like I've made comments on your. Videos before that, everything needs management because of the way that society is today, even people that live in cities need management. If things are going to Work together Everything has to be managed or one will overrun the other as we have seen. One could go on about this for ever, I Unfortunately, will probably not get to see it in my lifetime. Keep up the good work
Mr. Vandenacre, Thank you for putting this education out into the world, you speak rational truth! As a fellow Montanan, I'm grateful for your voice....😊
Another great video. What a great dose of reality to all those who are uninformed. Everyone needs to hear this. Sure enjoy you videos. Would love to visit your part of Montana someday. Keep the videos coming and God bless you for all you do.
Great video! Semi-frequent low intensity forest fires are beneficial in almost all situations! It kills off invasive plants/trees and those species that don't belong in that biome and helps keep the forest from becoming a closed canopy forest where no light hits the ground to create food and shelter for herbivores. When forests aren't managed, they become closed canopy forests with so much dead wood that when they do catch fire, it burns so hot it destroys nearly everything, including the seed bank in the ground.
I can't tell you what goes on in most places but I know that most public lands are not managed for improvement, despite the many examples out there of how to do it. I really enjoy your videos and hope you continue with them. I'd love for you to come here (Boulder Wyoming) and visit and do a video here.
It'd sure be nice to put a set of headphones on all these people that want to save the environment & make them listen to this factual information. Best dose of truth & common sense I've heard in a while !
Great video. One of your best. I like that you didn’t politicize it. Many people would have framed this as a left/right issue, but yeah the truth is its an emotional issue.
Very well said. I work with livestock farmers here in Minnesota to keep them compliant with our rules here. I've often said if we follow every rule to a T people woukd starve.
Great job Trinity educating those of us who cherish and want to protect the natural world. Montanans who love and use the land for sustenance are much better equipped to manage it than Ivy League activists who have never set foot in your state. We all want clean air and water and those are admirable goals, but they must be tempered with reality. Too often young people are indoctrinated with grandiose ideas that are impractical and whose end result may be poverty and hunger. Fight for your home state and keep speaking out against the insanity these radical climate activists are pushing! God bless you!
I wish this could be made longer and into a documentary where it could be viewed in movie theaters. People need to learn these things, instead of actually thinking that cow farts are destroying the ozone layer. I can't even say this without laughing. I heard about this the first time about 15 years ago on NPR, and laughed then too. We need critical thinking put back in the schools, and maybe we would have less of the emotional knee jerk reactions.
12:46 this is why I advocate for brush fired steam tractors for farming purposes think Huber tractors historically or Mackwell locomotive of new Zealand currently, collect this brush that is suppose to burn pellet it and put the ash on the collection sites and have scheduled rest periods where things aren't harvested and small controlled fires are done for the plants that need fire to reproduce to keep the cycle going
I worked in the Montana oil patch for many years. The money us oilfield trash made built the economy of eastern Montana to a large extent. I agree with you 100%.
Over the last 50 years. 40% of the grazing permits are gone. ranchers no longer running cattle on those piece of land. And the evironmentalist didn't put back the buffalo either. So forest get clogged and choked and when they burn, they burn hot. Lumber companies that used to employe 400 people, close down because evironmentalist don't want logging on the mountain. Small town dies. With out jobs, people don't move to small rural towns. Schools colapse because there are not enough kids to fill them, Remaining kids have to ride 1 hour or more to go to school in the next town over. 40 years later the forest burns and because nothing was logged, They burn hot and destroy way more than a small fire. Most the trails I ride my horses on, are there because ranchers pushed cows up and down the mountain to maximize their usage of the resource.
Very well said. Now if you don’t do any logging, you can’t build your house. There are so many tree huggers,they should live out in the open prairie and not have any shelter when it rains and snows.
I would do anything to live in Montana. You are right about emotions and the environment, but a lot of it is urban congestion combined with biased media.
the big Yellowstone Park fires of 1988 are a perfect example of fire suppression. If you aren't going to use the timber and manage the forest you end up with unmanageable fires. Also, ranchers and loggers keep public lands open to for all types of public uses. Preserve generally lead to public exclusion or limited access.
Bison have the same digestive system that cattle , deer and elk, moose, sheep, wild sheep and mountain goats, and antelope do. They are all ruminants. They all produce the same gasses with digestion. It's all emotional. Nobody is talking about eliminating wild animals.
Common sense is clearly from the Bible. God made things and people for a reason, when you don’t understand that then you have no wisdom to take care of this land. I agree with you Trinity!!
You told a lot of truth that people don’t understand I wonder if people have any idea how much fuel and power it takes to manufacture the batteries for cars or anything that uses one the minerals alone are something just the refining of the products to finish to make them the trucking the excavation of minerals I think would scare a person That was a really good talk I wish you could be on the nightly news with that information keep up the good videos
So agreeing with you on a lot of levels, a couple I don’t is research where and when they came up with the term fossil fuels there’s a lot more to that then you know it’s really not a fossil fuel. You do an awesome job of talking with people listening thinking and responding really like how you go about stuff I’m not great with words, but there is a climate change going on that’s. Not man-made what I think it would be awesome is if you got with Ben in Colorado with suspicious observers on RUclips it would be awesome if you had a conversation with him. Great job on what your doing am from Idaho and both of my kids was born in Montana but had to move back to Idaho because of all the crazy crap going on up there, love Montana but love freedom more
There is no group of people that look after the land than those who make a living from it. People in the city have little or no knowledge of what really goes on outside a 10 block area!
Emotions are being programmed in the direction of the Hinduism of India. Videos about pets are fun to watch but there is a widespread convention of treating animals like humans. The owners are called "Dads" and "Moms" and the human children are called "brothers" and "sisters" of the pet----cat, dog, horse, miniature cows.... Can a person kill a brother/sister/child? People in India can starve while "sacred cows" are walking around. The animal becomes an "idol" whose life is MORE important than the lives of people. Why do so many people emulate a philosophy which leads to a quarter of the Indian people classified as "untouchables" and animals are worshiped as gods. 280 million people are classified as Dalits-- Untouchables.
Trinity, I appreciate your desire to educate the everyday person in this area. That's not easy, and never will be. I'm a 63 year old retired Park Ranger who was raised on a Farm/Ranch, and I still have a vested interest in a cow/calf operation and crop production. Also: I'm a conservationist, hunter, and avid outdoor enthusiast. I see both sides of this coin that you discussed; however, if people were educated in these areas, they would see that we can conserve our natural resources and provide what we need to live at the same time! How many people know that the only way for certain species of trees to reproduce is by fire. Fire is natural! Logging/fire is an excellent wildlife management tool. We have to manage our Flint Hills grasslands with fire. When the U.S. was in high production of petroleum, we didn't hear many complaints about the low cost of gasoline, groceries, and the cost of living. (My emotions were very calm and I was enjoying much more than I do now!) I've worked with grazing leases on public lands. That system worked fine. (* The only part of grazing on public lands I disagree with is allowing that to operate in a wilderness area. We had hunts & experiences ruined by cattle in wilderness areas. I understand the rancher's plight, however.) So where do we go from here? All we can do is educate the public, and I believe you're making a good effort to do so. I'll try to do a better job on my end, for sure! Thank you for your work. Lord bless ya!
11:17 it's dying here in the west because we sold a lot of Ag land to big corporations, letting the huge meat packing corporations plummet the wholesale price of cattle. Letting Walmart take over the dairy industry. One example, there are 11 million acers of ag land in Colorado, so why does Canada, for example, own 1 million of them? That's the real topic we should be addressing.
Sure, but I don't agree with the removal of native species well cattle are on that public land. We have that land for the preservation of land & wildlife, not for the profits, for a small group of people, not the public as a whole. Emotions are not in play, not one bit.
This was one of your best, Trinity. I appreciate your coverage on multiple topics and how they affect our existence. I grew up in Southern California in the 60’s and 70’s and I can only remember just a few major “forest fires”, mainly because they used to manage the forests. I also remember taking agricultural classes at Los Angeles Pierce College in the early 80’s that was started as an agricultural college in the 1920’s and the “other side” of the campus developed in the 60’s. There were AS degrees in Beef, Swine, Horse, Sheep, Poultry, and Dairy Production, as well as Veterinary Technology, Ag Business and Horticulture. We had a store that sold fresh eggs and dairy products. When I went back in 1996 for my Veterinary Technology degree, the only degree programs left were Horse Production and Veterinary Technology. There were micro herds of cattle, sheep, swine and some chickens we used for the Veterinary Technology program and that was it. Everything was gone and the push to sell that prime land (from the college was great). No one knows anything about the importance of agriculture anymore because its education has been removed. In a little over a decade what was once a thriving agricultural college was reduced a hollow shell of its once thriving campus. It’s a shame.
Thank you Trinity, for all of your videos and this one in particular, as well as the one about wolves in Colorado. . You explained the real truth with all these issues and with none of the ignorant assumptions of city dwellers and college educated woke activists. My dadand was a logging boss and I like to view old logging pictures on Facebook but then I have to read so many comments about " Oh why did they have to cut down those big trees on the west coast? Trees are renewable resource. The tree huggars comes to mind back in the 60's and 70's. The lumber companies plant 3 tries for everyone cut which is making overcrowding and excesses under brush. Then the forest has too much fuel for fires. Last year here on the southern Oregon coast, we had fires out of control, several fires fueling each other. We have a governor who knows nothing about forest management. I so appreciate you getting all your sane information out to all of us. We need more people like you.
Thank you for your works. Keep it honest and change the world. The false conditioning starts with our parents, who are only doing and saying what they have been told. So so hard to remove yourself and think as an individual assessing what is truth and what is not. Its a shame integrity is not overpowering want. Looking forward to further video's.
Although you're well informed and speak scientific truth, the narrow- minded pith headed bug-eaters will have no part of it. A day of reckoning is coming in this country, and if We the People don't standup for our constitutional rights, life as we know it will cease to exist. We do know one thing, nearly everything the government touches turns to sh*t! They create one problem after another and then steal our wealth via taxation to fix the problems they created. Climate change is directly connected to the sun not "fossil fuels" which have nothing to do with dead plants and animals as the most oil rich planet is Mars, a place where no plants have ever existed. Global warming is a lie, a false religion, based on lies for the purpose of stealing our liberty. We'll have the kind of government we allow, time to stand against the tyrannical bobbleheads.
Hopefully the reality of your words, reaches the ears of these fools who want to force their opinions on the rest of the world, unfortunately very few will listen Trinity, thanks for your contribution to try educating them, every little bit makes difference.
One of the best things for a forest is a fire. it normally does not kill the healthy strong trees and it brings tons of new life to the forest. In fact, in many areas humans use fire to manage the forest for this very reason. You remove all the roughage or ground cover allowing the sun and water to get to the land for new growth. Cattle do the same thing, With out cattle the land would become overgrown and everything except for weeds and large trees would die out. Cattle maintain a healthy plant life on the land. If you do not have a heavy graser animal on the land you get overgrowth and death. Fire can be good for the land. Cattle are good for the land as long as you don't let them overrun it and stay on it too long. You have to move them around.
My parents live in Townsend. Thanks for showing me around the area. I’ve only been to Townsend once. During the fires of 2000. Beautiful country. I grew up in Madison county.
Thank you very much for all your hard work and saying the truth 👍 I was born and raised in Colorado. And I have seen what forest fires do and what Putting out small fires builds up to. Thank you, Trinity keep it up and I will keep watching. Thank you for all of your content.
As a former Forest Ranger ive seen what happen when people interfere land and forest msmsgement and then the summer storms come and then the fires happen because of all the extra fuel thats in the forest because MO ONE is removing the under growth and not opening up the forests by removing all the extra trees - in just one year i fought 28 fires in the county i was working in - 20 of those fires were caused by lightning strikes in dense under brush in the forest -
Wow, information from a wide perspective from a man with boots on the ground and earning a living a lifestyle close to nature. Makes more sense than highly polished "news stories" or activist rants.
Nailed it. I rolled through about 100 comments below expecting to see some "emotional" thinkers to roast you. Didn't find a single negative comment. So maybe there is hope after all?
I hope this video gets millions of views. The majority of people seem to have no idea of the actual truth in regards to agriculture and the natural order in nature. Unmanaged Forests = Unmanageable Forest fires. I’ve been learning recently that many native wildflowers need fire to help it reproduce and thrive. Also some trees are that way as well. When I was on a trip to Idaho a while back I got to learn a bit about the way it is out there. The trees are huge. What blew my mind was the example I was told of a family that has some land (not thousands of acres) and harvest their own trees for a living. By the time they harvest the trees on their land, they can go back to the first acre and start over because that’s how fast the trees grow. Nothing is perfect but balance is what we should be shooting for in everything.
Appreciate you representing the folks in the west. Think a title from Range magazine many years ago said it best "War on The West". Would like to see you and Dry Creek Wrangler School do some exchange of opinions.
As someone who is a cowboy AND a conservationist, I really appreciate this conversation. 👊
I am a hunter and grew up in a family of farmers and ranchers and ranchers are the best conservationist compared to government agencies

Thanks people like you said need to think about the outcome about the way to make things better
Excellent video Trinity 📹 you need to share this on a news channel 😀 👍
Well said!!! I hope people stop and listen to common sense and reason.
Well said, I agree with you. You exained it so well.
12:46 this is why I advocate for brush fired steam tractors for farming purposes think Huber tractors historically or Mackwell locomotive of new Zealand currently, collect this brush that is suppose to burn pellet it and put the ash on the collection sites and have scheduled rest periods where things aren't harvested and small controlled fires are done for the plants that need fire to reproduce to keep the cycle going
I worked in the Montana oil patch for many years. The money us oilfield trash made built the economy of eastern Montana to a large extent. I agree with you 100%.
What a GREAT video!!! Great job!!! Keep up the great work.....
Over the last 50 years. 40% of the grazing permits are gone. ranchers no longer running cattle on those piece of land. And the evironmentalist didn't put back the buffalo either. So forest get clogged and choked and when they burn, they burn hot. Lumber companies that used to employe 400 people, close down because evironmentalist don't want logging on the mountain. Small town dies. With out jobs, people don't move to small rural towns. Schools colapse because there are not enough kids to fill them, Remaining kids have to ride 1 hour or more to go to school in the next town over. 40 years later the forest burns and because nothing was logged, They burn hot and destroy way more than a small fire. Most the trails I ride my horses on, are there because ranchers pushed cows up and down the mountain to maximize their usage of the resource.
100% Correct and this applies to the entire country, not just the northwest.
Very well said. Now if you don’t do any logging, you can’t build your house. There are so many tree huggers,they should live out in the open prairie and not have any shelter when it rains and snows.
Exactly
I would do anything to live in Montana. You are right about emotions and the environment, but a lot of it is urban congestion combined with biased media.
Great video!
We need Farming and Forestry and we need Nature, it's about finding the right Balance. Your American Praire video was very interesting.
the big Yellowstone Park fires of 1988 are a perfect example of fire suppression. If you aren't going to use the timber and manage the forest you end up with unmanageable fires. Also, ranchers and loggers keep public lands open to for all types of public uses. Preserve generally lead to public exclusion or limited access.
👏 You were on a roll. Thank you.
A very true video. Thank you.
Well said Trinity, same in AU. Thank you for video.
Bison have the same digestive system that cattle , deer and elk, moose, sheep, wild sheep and mountain goats, and antelope do. They are all ruminants. They all produce the same gasses with digestion. It's all emotional. Nobody is talking about eliminating wild animals.
That's including prescribed burns too!
Common sense is clearly from the Bible. God made things and people for a reason, when you don’t understand that then you have no wisdom to take care of this land. I agree with you Trinity!!
Nailed it hope people here in NM watch this
Well said sir! Thank you!
You told a lot of truth that people don’t understand I wonder if people have any idea how much fuel and power it takes to manufacture the batteries for cars or anything that uses one the minerals alone are something just the refining of the products to finish to make them the trucking the excavation of minerals I think would scare a person That was a really good talk I wish you could be on the nightly news with that information keep up the good videos
So agreeing with you on a lot of levels, a couple I don’t is research where and when they came up with the term fossil fuels there’s a lot more to that then you know it’s really not a fossil fuel. You do an awesome job of talking with people listening thinking and responding really like how you go about stuff I’m not great with words, but there is a climate change going on that’s. Not man-made what I think it would be awesome is if you got with Ben in Colorado with suspicious observers on RUclips it would be awesome if you had a conversation with him. Great job on what your doing am from Idaho and both of my kids was born in Montana but had to move back to Idaho because of all the crazy crap going on up there, love Montana but love freedom more
You are a 💯 right on everything you just talked about 💯💯💯
Right on! Tell it, testify!

Very Good!!!
Thx so much!
Very good information. Thank you
Excellent points.
There is no group of people that look after the land than those who make a living from it. People in the city have little or no knowledge of what really goes on outside a 10 block area!
Sooo true my friend! So very true!
Please study Joel Salatin. Thanks
Emotions are being programmed in the direction of the Hinduism of India. Videos about pets are fun to watch but there is a widespread convention of treating animals like humans. The owners are called "Dads" and "Moms" and the human children are called "brothers" and "sisters" of the pet----cat, dog, horse, miniature cows....
Can a person kill a brother/sister/child? People in India can starve while "sacred cows" are walking around. The animal becomes an "idol" whose life is MORE important than the lives of people.
Why do so many people emulate a philosophy which leads to a quarter of the Indian people classified as "untouchables" and animals are worshiped as gods.
280 million people are classified as Dalits-- Untouchables.
they never get it
Trinity, I appreciate your desire to educate the everyday person in this area. That's not easy, and never will be. I'm a 63 year old retired Park Ranger who was raised on a Farm/Ranch, and I still have a vested interest in a cow/calf operation and crop production. Also: I'm a conservationist, hunter, and avid outdoor enthusiast. I see both sides of this coin that you discussed; however, if people were educated in these areas, they would see that we can conserve our natural resources and provide what we need to live at the same time! How many people know that the only way for certain species of trees to reproduce is by fire. Fire is natural! Logging/fire is an excellent wildlife management tool. We have to manage our Flint Hills grasslands with fire. When the U.S. was in high production of petroleum, we didn't hear many complaints about the low cost of gasoline, groceries, and the cost of living. (My emotions were very calm and I was enjoying much more than I do now!) I've worked with grazing leases on public lands. That system worked fine. (* The only part of grazing on public lands I disagree with is allowing that to operate in a wilderness area. We had hunts & experiences ruined by cattle in wilderness areas. I understand the rancher's plight, however.) So where do we go from here? All we can do is educate the public, and I believe you're making a good effort to do so. I'll try to do a better job on my end, for sure! Thank you for your work. Lord bless ya!
We need to put a stop to other countries coming in and taking advantage of our resources and exporting them!
Thin out the horses, manage the cattle and the public lands will be much better.
Emotions never help make decisions.
I/ E is a good thing, but when you get Emotions over Intellect then you got a wreck coming
16:53 The US imported 55 Terawatt-hours which is only 1.5% of our overall power needs. We could easily fase that out.
11:17 it's dying here in the west because we sold a lot of Ag land to big corporations, letting the huge meat packing corporations plummet the wholesale price of cattle. Letting Walmart take over the dairy industry. One example, there are 11 million acers of ag land in Colorado, so why does Canada, for example, own 1 million of them? That's the real topic we should be addressing.
Sure, but I don't agree with the removal of native species well cattle are on that public land. We have that land for the preservation of land & wildlife, not for the profits, for a small group of people, not the public as a whole. Emotions are not in play, not one bit.
This was one of your best, Trinity. I appreciate your coverage on multiple topics and how they affect our existence. I grew up in Southern California in the 60’s and 70’s and I can only remember just a few major “forest fires”, mainly because they used to manage the forests. I also remember taking agricultural classes at Los Angeles Pierce College in the early 80’s that was started as an agricultural college in the 1920’s and the “other side” of the campus developed in the 60’s. There were AS degrees in Beef, Swine, Horse, Sheep, Poultry, and Dairy Production, as well as Veterinary Technology, Ag Business and Horticulture. We had a store that sold fresh eggs and dairy products. When I went back in 1996 for my Veterinary Technology degree, the only degree programs left were Horse Production and Veterinary Technology. There were micro herds of cattle, sheep, swine and some chickens we used for the Veterinary Technology program and that was it. Everything was gone and the push to sell that prime land (from the college was great). No one knows anything about the importance of agriculture anymore because its education has been removed. In a little over a decade what was once a thriving agricultural college was reduced a hollow shell of its once thriving campus. It’s a shame.
Great comments, keep up the good shows.
Thank you Trinity, for all of your videos and this one in particular, as well as the one about wolves in Colorado. . You explained the real truth with all these issues and with none of the ignorant assumptions of city dwellers and college educated woke activists. My dadand was a logging boss and I like to view old logging pictures on Facebook but then I have to read so many comments about " Oh why did they have to cut down those big trees on the west coast? Trees are renewable resource. The tree huggars comes to mind back in the 60's and 70's. The lumber companies plant 3 tries for everyone cut which is making overcrowding and excesses under brush. Then the forest has too much fuel for fires. Last year here on the southern Oregon coast, we had fires out of control, several fires fueling each other. We have a governor who knows nothing about forest management. I so appreciate you getting all your sane information out to all of us. We need more people like you.
Thank you for your works. Keep it honest and change the world. The false conditioning starts with our parents, who are only doing and saying what they have been told. So so hard to remove yourself and think as an individual assessing what is truth and what is not. Its a shame integrity is not overpowering want.
Looking forward to further video's.
Although you're well informed and speak scientific truth, the narrow- minded pith headed bug-eaters will have no part of it. A day of reckoning is coming in this country, and if We the People don't standup for our constitutional rights, life as we know it will cease to exist.
We do know one thing, nearly everything the government touches turns to sh*t! They create one problem after another and then steal our wealth via taxation to fix the problems they created.
Climate change is directly connected to the sun not "fossil fuels" which have nothing to do with dead plants and animals as the most oil rich planet is Mars, a place where no plants have ever existed. Global warming is a lie, a false religion, based on lies for the purpose of stealing our liberty. We'll have the kind of government we allow, time to stand against the tyrannical bobbleheads.
Great vid! Sorry, it took me this long to see it. You're the best! 🇺🇸 Horse cookies for Calibar. 🍪
Hopefully the reality of your words, reaches the ears of these fools who want to force their opinions on the rest of the world, unfortunately very few will listen Trinity, thanks for your contribution to try educating them, every little bit makes difference.
One of the best things for a forest is a fire. it normally does not kill the healthy strong trees and it brings tons of new life to the forest. In fact, in many areas humans use fire to manage the forest for this very reason. You remove all the roughage or ground cover allowing the sun and water to get to the land for new growth. Cattle do the same thing, With out cattle the land would become overgrown and everything except for weeds and large trees would die out. Cattle maintain a healthy plant life on the land. If you do not have a heavy graser animal on the land you get overgrowth and death. Fire can be good for the land. Cattle are good for the land as long as you don't let them overrun it and stay on it too long. You have to move them around.
WELL SAID!
very good men are from mars woman are from Venus, LOL
My parents live in Townsend. Thanks for showing me around the area. I’ve only been to Townsend once. During the fires of 2000. Beautiful country. I grew up in Madison county.
Thank you very much for all your hard work and saying the truth 👍 I was born and raised in Colorado. And I have seen what forest fires do and what Putting out small fires builds up to.
Thank you, Trinity keep it up and I will keep watching. Thank you for all of your content.
Thank u so called DO GOODERS for NOTHING BUT BURNED TREES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY and DEAD PEOPLE AND ANIMALS -
As a former Forest Ranger ive seen what happen when people interfere land and forest msmsgement and then the summer storms come and then the fires happen because of all the extra fuel thats in the forest because MO ONE is removing the under growth and not opening up the forests by removing all the extra trees - in just one year i fought 28 fires in the county i was working in - 20 of those fires were caused by lightning strikes in dense under brush in the forest -
Rationality...oh what a refreshing thing! The hunting and fishing community are some of the biggest stewards of our environment. In gratitude.
Absolutely.....there is nothing like first hand wisdom.....compared to book learning knowledge.....big difference, big big difference
Wow, information from a wide perspective from a man with boots on the ground and earning a living a lifestyle close to nature. Makes more sense than highly polished "news stories" or activist rants.
Nailed it. I rolled through about 100 comments below expecting to see some "emotional" thinkers to roast you. Didn't find a single negative comment. So maybe there is hope after all?
Yeah. I think that isn’t great because usually that means RUclips is not showing it to very many people. 😁
@@LifeintheWest true
Awesome video, Trinity thanks so true.
Great explanation, Just to long winded
I hope this video gets millions of views. The majority of people seem to have no idea of the actual truth in regards to agriculture and the natural order in nature.
Unmanaged Forests = Unmanageable Forest fires.
I’ve been learning recently that many native wildflowers need fire to help it reproduce and thrive. Also some trees are that way as well.
When I was on a trip to Idaho a while back I got to learn a bit about the way it is out there. The trees are huge. What blew my mind was the example I was told of a family that has some land (not thousands of acres) and harvest their own trees for a living. By the time they harvest the trees on their land, they can go back to the first acre and start over because that’s how fast the trees grow.
Nothing is perfect but balance is what we should be shooting for in everything.
Appreciate you representing the folks in the west. Think a title from Range magazine many years ago said it best "War on The West". Would like to see you and Dry Creek Wrangler School do some exchange of opinions.
So if people don't agree with you, we are just emotional, right? I got your number, so to speak.
