Burn Damage RECON: It's Not Good, Mordor Pt 1 (Patreon)
Content
more weekend content for you, thank you for your kind support here
In the Yamaha RMAX we take a meaningful adventure: to investigate wildfire burn damage in the desert mountains. The fire came close enough to our properties. But the real damage is in these mountains and it will be long lasting and significant.
Engine noise is a bit high (will fix later) but you can hear me comment on the following subjects related to the wildfires: usage and types of air assets used, SH64 Aircrane crew was killed in this fire fighting, why smart people and wild animals can easily get trapped in these blazes and die, how this wildfire jumped canyons and dozer breaks, analyzing the HOT Shot crews worked in eliminating low fuel, how trees react, looking at one of their encampment locations, the rough terrain, how grazing is still possible up here, the importance of survival kits here, how the watershed shown is severely damaged and will probably result in devastating flooding in the coming years, and more.
This will be a two part series and this is part one. In Part 2 I will have to break out my survival saw to get through the trail!
This another Nutnfancy adventure but one with real purpose. The area shown has been used for dirt bike testing, adventure rides, and knife/axe testing. You will see the devastation is saddening and it will not recover in my lifetime.
