Hunting In The Dixie Fire.

[@handlehandleton]

I'm glad you made this one. That area you're in is such a massive, beautiful part of our state. Despite so much of it being public land, its surprising how few people go up there and enjoy it. Not that I'm complaining.

[@wendygerrish4964]

Couldn't have gone to a better location for this tough talk. Thank you Zeke

[@russelltate3703]

Thanks for sharing. You have taught us a lot and please keep sharing your side of the reality of forest management.

[@efo1358]

Your spot on ! Thank You! 👌

[@FroMendo]

As always you are DIRECTLY explaining where we are with forestry and fire. Thanks for being the megaphone for TRUTH

[@chrisbuckley8148]

Great video. Thanks. Ive hunted this area since mid ‘80s. I remember the helicopter logging. Healthy forest they left behind. Night and day difference.

[@michaelberlin8526]

Thanks for this clearly heartfelt video. It is shameful we live in world where working people struggling to make rent and feed themselves are expected to do battle with some of the world's largest companies and with the rich politicians that protect them and their "investments;" "Free gifts of nature" as they have been known elsewhere. Education and solidarity are truly our only hope. Thanks, Zeke

[@AlanzFPV]

Love this video, found your channel while searching for info on the line and bridge fires. Wish I had found you sooner. Keep up the great work.

[@sinnasinna7060]

Thank you Zeke for showing this. I needed a positive viewpoint at the end of Fire season with a long term outlook with the warning on private "forestry" practices.

[@clintdyson5765]

Really appreciate this video. I'm 50 yrs old and have lived in Los molinos my whole life. I have grown up hunting up there. And like to hear the things you have to say. And hope someday we find some kind of balance. Maybe heavier on the wildlife side of things instead of timber harvest.

Thanks for the video! Couldn't agree more. Thanks for putting this out there. As someone in land management, I can't tell you how sick and sad I am at the results and legacy of the "single species approach". It doesn't matter whether its a fish, rat, bird, tree, shrub, or butterfly. - its economic and ecological tantamount to penny wise and pound foolish. Keep speaking up! We're listening, who knows who else is!

I was our there last summer, so many beautiful places up here.

[@louisewagenknecht6140]

Preach it, Brother!

[@darrahhopper6437]

Living here in Plumas County, I can see how little support the Forest Service has for doing anything that will actually help.

[@stupadasol5911]

We seem to walk a lot of the same ground and definitely feel the same about the USFS forest management policies.

[@trevin1691]

Looks like Line incident is going to take out additional average towards BB lake. Heavy 55 is night ops now 0021 WTH

[@darepolk5402]

You watching the new activity on the Line Fire? Love the channel 🙌

[@kingjsolomon]

Looks similar to Warm Lake Idaho. One of my favorite places in the US.

[@TheLookout1]

It really is similar to Warm Lake area! I was up there in 2007. The fire camp we were at burned up right after we left. Here is a video someone posted to KZbin of the event! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH2tipydjMibnJI

[@kingjsolomon]

@@TheLookout1 that's insane!

[@jeffecampbell]

When it's warm outside the bucks get up in the afternoon and move to higher ground with a breeze and a view...

[@jimstarrett8479]

how are the trapdoor spiders doing?

[@johnypitman2368]

the USAF is my neighbor that doesn't manage the forest putting me at great risk and consequently my insurance rates have skyrocketed. Just one more reasons why people are exiting California

[@davethompson9776]

I’ve been telling people for years that the natural process is always best.

[@mikej9564]

Great video of the burn. Helped me understand a bit of what I saw there. I got back home last night from a trip to Lake Almanor and Mt. Lassen. Saw the scars from the Dixie and Park fires. So much difference depending on the area. Some clear cut, others mostly clear cut but left small sections of burned/dead timber still others dead and alive left standing. Along one section of the 36 I saw minimal cutting with piles of logs tilted up like a tepee, or piled up as if ready to burn. Any idea why they do that.

[@Doanaboar]

Looks like the Austrian alps just bigger. What's the weather like in winter? Here in Austria it's cloudy, wet and cold. Trying to figure out if I go to Chico for my winter escape vacation. I've lived in the Canadian part of the Cascadian mountain range a while ago and winter there was nice but snowy. Do you get a lot of snow, too? Temperatures?

[@josephashcraft6539]

awesome video bud

[@susanv3446]

Facebook is not reality, yes indeed!

[@archstanton_live]

Might there be some native hardwood species that are less commercially desirable but more fire resistant than the conifers that could be encouraged in the area?

[@chrisarthur-barnes7271]

Learn from the Indians!

[@robbmanchester5747]

Just watched your recent Line Fire flare up video … 100 million $$$ so far ? Will there come a day when Cal Fire will create a department for prescribed burns and fund it with 100 million $$$ … I mean heck it’s only the cost of 1 fire … might actually save $$$ …

[@charlescarlson1290]

Hi There, I just tried watching your video, and while I think I agree with your sentiments and statements, the video presentation left me confused, because it took so long to get it out. Clearly, regular burns without high fuel loads are desirable. The healthy and lucky trees survive and the bigger ones survive even better. It’s a natural thinning process that basically culls the forest. Fire suppression writ large is detrimental to every forest. And they don’t need to be controlled burns either in every case. Please edit your video.

[@chugachocho]

Obviously bad at managing timber when it all burns😢

[@janet4735]

I stillwould love to know how lost creek which was a camp around on the left 3miles in just past the the German inn on the left going to Chester My family had been going there 5 generations

[@TheLookout1]

Lost Creek had mixed severity in the Dixie Fire. How far in off the highway is your spot?

[@janet4735]

[@schooblah8901]
