How to conduct a cool burn - Cool Burning

[@robertohoyos545]

Good tips. Small patches, and with patterns. Mind the wind, burn late evening.

[@kevonz1]

Burning to windward, it seems so obvious after the fact but it shows the genius of an old culture, this stuff is literally in their bones. An absolutely inspirational tutorial.

[@TheEarthHistorysConfusing]

How it should be done. Listen to the people whom lived here for 55 thousand years and we have a lot to learn from these beautiful people!.

[@robertbroadbent3881]

And it all makes so much sense - Thank you

Couldn't agree more. I would be completely happy for the Commonwealth Government to increase GST if needed to holey and solely fund a new super dept combining land, water, native animals and fisheries where as far as land management is concerned RFS would be become a fully paid profession with a fleet of fire fighting aircraft and together with rangers and indigenous people that have the knowledge to implement, practice and teach "anyone" who is diserious of a paid career as a professional land manager all work together to get this country back to how it was when us whities came ashore because if the Canberra bush fire didn't wake up the nation that if i can happen to the nations capital it can happen anywhere and everywhere then we have learned nothing from this nation wide disaster. Mr Morrison this is your time to shine and be a leader that Australians far into the future will remember and revere, not for a short term balancing of a budget but for securing a nations ecological future.

Tbh, if the Government spent the money better, rather than wasting it, there would be no need to increase GST or add any new Tax. Your idea is good, but I don't think current day Government is capable of implementing something like this.

@@wayneharrison Supposedly the word Canberra is Ngunnawal for meeting place, a meeting place that the representatives voted in by their local constituants from around Australia come to to parley for their local and national interests. Unfortunately Australians blame Canberran's ( yes i live in Canberra) for the decisions that their elected members make. But to be honest no politician could counter an nation wide multi year drought. Australia is a pancake in an unfortunate global position with no high mountain ranges to aid in precipitation and with 88% of the worlds population in the northern hemisphere, their actions or inactions will continue to have an affect here.

@@sypher0101 I don't about where you live but here in Canberra our local Government simply tacks on to rates any new income raising stream meaning 3/4 of income earners pay nothing towards that implementation. i certainly know many people who have 3 to 6 incomes coming into their homes so at least as far as national interests are concerned a GST rise say to 15%, 5% of which goes to environment is at least fairer than slugging one group. there will always be swings and round about's in the way Government spreads the dollars around and i doubt that it will ever be perfect but my suggestions good or bad at least may be a good start to tackle some of our environmental issues and gee aren't there a lot of them. P.S. i'm not a public servant.

@@rustynutts2 Even so, when you look at how the Government spends the money they get already from Tax (e.i sending Billions to foreign countries), plus they don't bother chasing down big businesses paying $0 Tax (i.e. Energy Australia's $30 Billion income), that alone would benefit Australia, or could be used for what you propose. I believe the Government would be happy to raise Taxes, but I have zero confidence that they would spend that new extra Tax on what it would be there for.

Why not get cattle to eat grass then you can pay gst

[@ChaCha1984Australia]

Amazing!!

[@donkayyy4665]

hi this was great make more videos ✨🙂✨

[@jeffries1232]

Great video ..We must change the way its done by the fire services ,we cant afford the whole country going up again..

[@bornok3653]

Genius.

[@shodges3127]

Great information, thank you for sharing. Would you be interested in joining me on a webinar to share this information in a NAIDOC special?

[@twiseels1640]

Thanks mate

I hate to be negative but in the Alpine region of Victoria it is hard or impossible to get in and out on foot. The hills are steep and lots of under growth. How are people going to do this cool burn in areas like this? The area is also very large. Going to need a lot of people on the ground. The video shows no logs or trees on the gound or under growth of small plants or shrubs? How do indigenous people cool burn around a bush that is so thick of nature? How did the indigenous people put out the fire? Water tanks on cars are ok for areas when they can access the area. I want to see the full start to finish of a indigenous cool fire that is in area that is built up of vegetation before Im convinced. All video's of cool burns only show small and flat land grass burns.

BRZ BOXER shut up

[@nikokoko9835]

Hehe

[@mightyknight]

Fire shouldn't really happen in alpine areas.

[@christinefinlay1409]

It is extremely EASY AND CHEAP!!!! Drones or light aircraft drop incendiary devices along ridgelines when the weather is right for a cool burn. This is an adaptation of Indigenous practices using technology. The indigenous mosaic is preserved by burning patches where fuel has accumulated and letting the fire burn itself out. Compared to the cost of fighting a medium firestorm (which is futile as nothing stops a firestorm) it costs peanuts, protects the land and saves lives. It costs about $20 million to fight a medium-sized firestorm and around $20,000 or less to use aerial incendiary devices. The Allies developed incendiary devices to light firestorms in World War II so this technology is getting close to being ancient history. Indigenous methods have been around for millennia - prior to whites, there is no evidence whatsoever of firestorms during Indigenous land management.

[@gavinhughes8686]

A lot better method than the wham bam techniques of the RFS

BUILD SOIL If you want to make rain effective, you need to have soil to soak up the water. If you want to build up soil you need herbivores to eat the grass. The shit will turn to soilcover and in the end into rich soil. By burning grass you remove all the material which can be your future soil! This will replenish aquifiers, groundwater and rivers. Also it will support more plants which will transpire/evaporate water consistently and thereby cool the place. On a large scale more soil soaking up water combined with more plants evaporating will lead to more rainfall! This video gives more insights: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKG3eZxthJtppqs

[@christinefinlay1409]

After a firestorm burns fuel loads of 7.5 tonnes per hectare or more, a thick waterproof charcoal crust coats the soil - so even gentle rain will cause a flash flood. This is because rain runs off the waterproof charcoal crust instead of the soil soaking it up. Cool burnt soil does not do this, so Indigenous cool burning is vital to protect the land by keeping down fuel loads to prevent firestorms and allowing the soil to soak up rain. Please note, paid bushfire hierarchy guidelines have left a trail of ruined forest and savannahs because paid bushfire hierarchy legislation makes it almost impossible to cool burn some regions. The Snowy Mountains are a ghastly example of wreckage with fuel loads around 200 tonnes per hectare during the 2019-20 apocalyptic bushfires!!! Please note, there were very bad floods around regions where firestorms burnt in the last few years. Please also note, most arease devastated by flood have a long history of flooding but people built there nevertheless. Also please note that what is called the "brown cloud" coming down from Asia is delaying rain until clouds become about 5.5km thick or hit cooler regions. The carbon particles and pollution in this cloud and firestorm smoke wreak havoc with rainfall patterns in all sorts of unpleasant ways.
