[@jaretc7347]

Thank you for this. Drove past today. Looks much better up close than it seemed from afar. Glad to see a decent oak survival rate.

[@debistanley2791]

Excellent report. Loved the modeling. Really helps locals.

[@digdug1577]

Thanks for all the information Zeke what a fantastic educational experience learning about fire management and fire effects to our local habitat.

[@brianprince2587]

Thanks. Great info as always. And I appreciate the Coffeepot coverage.

[@rustyrebar123]

Thanks for all these videos. I have been fascinated by your commentary.

What a treat, stopped by home for lunch and found this mid day Look Out post. Fascinating as always, thanks Zeke. A quick word on beetle kill in the Sierra. I am a tree climber and in 1991 worked in the Tahoe Basin. We spent the whole summer cutting dead trees. Nest place I have ever worked in. Perfect weather lots of room between houses, not much landscaping up in the snow country. As climbers we loved it lots of big trees you could wreck out in 2 or three cuts. But my point is at that point folks were freaking out saying there wouldn’t be a conifer left in a decade. Well here we are. It is spooky to see big swathes of dead trees, and climate change is definitely stressing more and more trees but I still have faith that maybe nature knows what it’s doing and will adapt, is adapting,by reducing competition for resources amongst trees. Time will tell.

I have never learned so much about fire in my life and I'm from Orleans, so that says a lot ♥️

[@sufizmjim]

Thank you brother

[@elffirrdesign2063]

Thanks!

[@bradsanders6954]

A pack of us rode road bicycles from Butte Meadows to Inskip and back again Sunday, then up to Jonesville. I counted maybe 60 lowboy trailers up there, maybe more. There are a LOT of D6's and etc working up that way. Major firebreaks going in and who knows what else. It was borderline cold there Sunday AM.

Zeke has started his facial hair era 😂

[@TheLookout1]

It's been a spell!

[@m2003h]

Primus. Good choice

[@jimlongnecker9197]

Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into your videos and mapping. I really appreciate the all the information you provide. That song though.. I have to know who it is! I’ve scoured the internet and can’t find anything. Would love to know the name of that band.

[@TheLookout1]

It's a band called the Avant Gardeners, who were a Plumas County party band from the late 1990s/early 2000s. Not sure if any of their music is online, but I bet there are some CDs out there. I'll ask the guitar player,

[@jimlongnecker9197]

That would be awesome! I’m a Plumas County local myself. Quincy here. I’ll ask around and see if anyone I know is familiar with the band. Would love to get a copy of that CD. Was really feeling that song! Thanks again for all you do.

Just about 430 pm Tuesday afternoon a fire started in the 4600 block of pentz Rd in heavy dead and down fuels

[@ktmcc4360]

That sucks, its some of the most wild and remote forest areas of CA.

The usfs forest management practices are very severe. The loss of species studies may or may not include all that is lost.

[@kathleendanford9420]

Bet you are a fan of Primus.

[@wendygerrish4964]

Gee I thought the Boise fire would have been rained on last Saturday with those lines of cbs that came in from the coast. Weaverville got siaked, rain in Trinity and Redding area.
