    Prescribed Burn Arrest

    Thanks for taking the time for sharing your perspective. There's a lot of criticism in here that I agree with, I just disagree with the remedy. 1. I'd like to see more utilization, my forest has been pretty successful in using the Good Neighbor Authority with the state to get projects...

    My guess at the slop location, Google streetview.

    Prescribed Burn Arrest

    I think this is an aspect many people don't understand. We're not talking about Florida here, you can't burn in 40% and 60 degrees out here. The bare minimum goal of a prescribed fire is to consume fuel at some level, and the conditions must be hot and dry enough to accomplish that. And if you...

    Prescribed Burn Arrest

    True, we don't know exactly how it happened. But we do know someone was arrested. And again, not to diminish private property rights, as things currently stand, I do not see the level of damage warranting an arrest. The actual monetary value of damages seems to be at most 40 acres of grass...

    Prescribed Burn Arrest

    Ah, okay. Thanks for the response. My interpretation of that was there was active fire to the north, as intended as part of the prescribed fire, and while active, not necessarily out of control. And then yes the uncontrolled slop on private, which I believe I read was pinned on an internal...

    Prescribed Burn Arrest

    Where'd you hear it was out of control on multiple fronts? First I've heard of that. I'm interested in your source.

    Prescribed Burn Arrest

    I was trying to get at the potential value of forage lost to determine the severity of the potential crime. The Forest Service pays out all the time for damages to private property. I'm not suggesting the landowner is bad, he has a right to be upset, I don't see how arresting someone solves...

    Prescribed Burn Arrest

    There is an Agency Administrator/Line Officer that signed the burn plan, who ultimately bears the legal responsibility. That person was likely not on site. Of course the rancher has a right to be mad. Arresting the burn boss doesn't bring the grass back. I'm not a rancher and not trying to...

    Prescribed Burn Arrest

    well, I'll bite I guess. Among the various jobs I've help for the Forest Service, my current one would be described as wildland firefighter. I'm curious, do you think the Forest Service would get better at managing the land with 90% less funding? Or should the Forest Service divest the land...

    Now I've heard it all

    Wild speculation here as I have limited California experience and am really just going off of name recognition, but I figured places like Shasta Trinity, Siskiyou, Modoc could be a start. Coastal bears are very intriguing! For the longevity of the grizzly bear species, an interconnected...

    Now I've heard it all

    Randy's podcast earlier this year with the former Grizzly Bear recovery coordinator Chris Servheen touches on some of the California griz questions. https://hunttalk.libsyn.com/grizzly-bears-past-present-future I shouldn't, but I guess I'll speculate a bit. Seervheen states that there used to...

    Prescribed Burn Arrest

    I've been following this closely. If you're looking to get riled up and be mad at yourself for losing an afternoon, I recommend the comments here and on the original post. https://wildfiretoday.com/2022/10/20/forest-service-burn-boss-arrested-after-prescribed-fire-escapes-in-oregon/

    Gustafson vs Brown Montana

    Since this is a pro-public land website, it is worth noting that James Brown is endorsed by Attorney General Austin Knudsen. The Austin Knudsen who advocated for building subdivisions for the recent influx of out of staters over acquiring more land for wildlife and hunting.

    Man "run over" by Grizzly

    I've been blaming the series of moderate to severe hail storms the state received in June. Knocked the berries off. The patches I checked in early June looked to be shaping up alright. Up high snow had lingered longer than normal, and the spring had been fairly wet in most places. I don't know...

    Drought in Alaska

    based out of Delta Junction at the moment, been raining on and off for the last week. Started with a good shot of a couple inches, and sporadic after that. No growth on the fires over here, minimal smoke for now.

    Drought for the west

    My boss shared it with me with me when the rain came in 2020. Won't forget the conversation, or the smell, or the color of the air. Happy to hear you're getting some rain.
