I'm a Vegas resident and it's seriously nauseating how the few spots of nature available to the general public get treated like a fuckin' New York sidewalk. The moment I heard about the Mahogany fire I immediately knew it was some dipshit that started it and it was just 2 days later that it was confirmed.
The bonus of being in a place like that is the absence of light or fire at night. To look up and actually see the milky way is so much more satisfying than tearing shit up for a fire.
@@Treecareproj I thought the same. A precise ruler would be the only tattoo I'd be interested in getting. Though, I read once that finger tattoos (like these) don't always last without getting a bit smudged or warped over time, so the ruler on your finger might not always be totally accurate, unfortunately. Still a super cool concept.
“A man could be a lover and defender of the wilderness without ever in his lifetime leaving the boundaries of asphalt, powerlines, and right-angled surfaces. We need wilderness whether or not we ever set foot in it. We need a refuge even though we may never need to set foot in it. We need the possibility of escape as surely as we need hope; without it the life of the cities would drive all men into crime or drugs or psychoanalysis.” ― Edward Abbey
I cried to this, i was the stereotypical kyle , Salvia apiana bush burning , campfire having, pooping in the campfire headass, but u kicked me in the groin and I understand the truth now thanks joey

Hey Buddy, I simply love your videos, I like your dialect, your direct language, style, knowledge, almost everything. You see beautieness where others just notice stones and arid landscapes. Your set up, editing with botanic names and such is great, keep the good things up, my friend. Aren't cactus spines some kinda mutated leaves, too? Greetings from far away, here in Germany there's nice places, too, but very different.
Thank you for being alive. Thank you for having the courage to do what you do. You are a real legend mate. If you ever want to traipse around basalt and granite on the western slope, I would love a lesson.
The "aw yeahs" resonate, when admiring and lauding the evolutionary adaptations, structure, and architecture of gorgeous corollas.... The basic human reaction of "whoa" to something that strikes us as so unequivocally beautiful..... What is it, this 'beauty' thing?..... We all feel it..... There is strength and life giving power in its realization........ This force that humans, despite all of our atrocities, have the ability to feel/observe..... Forget 'trash or treasure' theories, that Frasera is hella beautiful.... Gentiana affinis ovata is about to pop at Bull Point, Pt. Reyes... Some were opening up on Wednesday.
People really underestimate the dangers of a “simple” campfire and it annoys me. I calmly tell and show people how to keep a campfire in control and how to properly put it out but they respond “fire Hot! Throw plastic and cans in! Breathe! Yay! Throw a fresh aspen in there, stack dry leaves right next to it”. And I get yelled at when trying to fix everything. 😂
That's when maybe ya just get ahold of some hbwr seeds. Extract the lsa. And find a chance to dose them with enough to make them experience ego death or maybe even just straight up become mentally shattered and so they are stuck in a hospital bed forever
Cute and mean😏 A lovely juxtaposition in plants and people. I live next to Nellis and those jets drive me insane. Not so much the noise, but the constant and angering reminder of our country's priorities. Living around the working poor and listening to the air force burn millions in a few hours is a mindfuck.
As a fellow Las vegan, I agree & just commented so you know you're not alone. Btw you should research the proposed reduction of DNWR for military usage...
Your videos are always so colourful and beautifully filmed, like I'm actually there. Medicinal herbs are always a fascinating addition. Keep up the fantastic output... Thank you!
I love it. It is true about the people that take their $50,000 Jeep or whatever their driving and come up and burn a branch that's taken decades to grow edges started on fire thank you for calling all those people out bro
the fact that i always catch your vids right after they were uploaded means you either do that first thing in the (very early) morning or last thing of the (very late) night lol. Love your shit
Thank you , delightful scenery!!! To hear your sight , those plants all have personalities. I could spend a lot of time on that entertainment. Pleasurable company indeed ! And it comes with air ! I’ll stay home and be glad you see it.
'Lineiifolio' is a very Aussie way of naming things. We like to use the Bleedingly Obvious for our naming of things: So many creeks named Deadman Creek, so many beaches named Five Mile beach etc, then there's Shark Bay and Big Bend [on a river]. My home town is actually called Townsville. But it's named after a guy named Towns #mighthavebeenaprick.
Haha - wikipedia confirms he indeed was a prick, even for his time: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Towns (linariifolia actually means "toadflax-leaved", so this is also not as obvious as it looks at first).
Greetings from Australia. I have been watching and marvelling on your take on life for quite a while now. I am an amateur biologist - big garden, 200 acres of Covenanted bushland - 300 species of damp sclerophyll on the side of a volcano. Dryish Ridges and fern gullies - red clay and white sand areas. I’m now 80 so things are slowing down. Don’t mind the salty language or your impression of the crazies. We have our share too.
Yeah, a shame what people do to amuse themselves. couple of classic moments , like that remark on seed dispersal , I actually predicted that comment , oh ! , and the phallus tree, it was a crack-up! Jack and Louie , always by your side , good guys. enjoyed the video, thanks Tony, fascinating stuff in the rock flows of the desert , as usual, thumbs up.
I see so much beauty in that Forest I would actually love to walk around to that and do some hammock camping but I do not bother with campfires never did and never will
“Frustrated apes in cages of our own making”. Too damn right. I’m 100% with you on the campfire thing too. What’s with it. And then they haul out the marshmallows so they can ingest some cinders. Honestly, humanoids...
😍😂😂I jus found your channel ... I'm HOOKED on you videos😍Tats all I needed guy....another addiction 😫😫 been addicted to growin plants & herbal remedies since I figured out how tf to read 😂😂😂 💜Much appreciated, thank you Sir !!!!
Have you ever seen the evolutionary adaptations of the South African Fynbos? Its the most diverse ecosystem of plants in the world and you wouldn't even notice until you look very closely.
Oh! I do love a good brassica! Thank you for sharing that one, it is beautiful. 🌱 Also I commented too early. I had to pause the video and wring my hands when you started talking about the illegal fire pits. How could anyone DO that to those trees?!
Thanks for another great video. You really do us all service. On another note, Abies concolor is the best tasting fir tree. Nibble a needle, it's like tangerine pine. Yummy! The first time I saw one I took a sample to identify, and some other guy back at the shop (landscaping in my youth) just tasted it and told me what it was. The horticultural varieties available here in Maine hold their needles flat, but my copy of Dirr says they 'should' be like what you have there.
I love your channel. I'd also love to get you out to the East Coast to look at our flora and fauna. I know maybe most of them aren't so dramatic like what you get in the West, but there's still a shit ton of trees n shit here!
We have a plant similar to that Frasera albomarginata here on the east coast by the name of the American Columbo. It takes several decades to flower but when it does the flowers look very similar.
Wow. I had to rip apart and naturalize every illegal fire ring so that it looked like it never happened when I was a ranger. If only I’d just stuck a flag in it🤷🏻♀️
reminds me of a Biker party area. I have childhoodlum mental maps of Spring Mtn campsites (now residing in re retirement in N Nevada). as always, best wishes. You NEED to meet Sarah, Wonderhussy. Luvs
Interesting episode... Cold high desert forest--ey type habitat does seem to result in similar adaptations as some of the high andes south america stuff. Dwarf rosaceae trees and mat forming plants. Lower elevation, but higher latitude. Atmosphere is thinner further from the equator, and there is of course winter.
Jumping Spider I’ve lived in the area for a while, and it never ceases to amaze me with the diversity of life. I’m willing to bet the microbiology is pretty wild, but alas I am a poor commoner who just does the botany/naturalist stuff in between work.
Ay Joey I'm up here in Reno studying for the arborist exam. Come on up here and take me and my gal on a hike and teach us about the local flora, huh? Teach us about gypsophilic soils, eh? Whattaya say?
33:00 I never realized that there was an adaptive benefit to plants mechanically moving aside from carnivory! I wonder if any plants started out as moving their stamens for pollinators and eventually started using the insects for fertilizer when nutrients became more scarce than pollinators.

Never have I seen a more useful finger tattoo
You don't want to see the tattoo he uses to measure ten inches

I wasn't going to get a tattoo but now that could be pretty handy

"Am I a little salty today?" No more than any other day! But it is legit so keep it up please

A real cool idea would be to utilize a heat gauge. I'd love to see the temperatures the cuticle is withstanding.
I think there are laser thermometers you can order one on Amazon and have it delivered to him! That sounds great!

Thanks for tree identifications,much better than pics in book! Nice hiking with you.

Up here in BC, the pine trees burn pretty good when they're still wet. The needles make neat little crackling noises.
0:26 damn that described my depressing life perfectly (except without the illegal campfire part)
I woke up feeling extra salty today. This is nice
aw man it's so cool you were near my town!
Splendid!
