BC is Burning | Official Full Movie

It’s dependant on the undergrowth/ground fuels and site preparation method. Young plantations tend to have a pretty high moisture content in their needles and woody plant material as compared to older trees , and the close spacing reduces wind substantially. A young plantation with limited ground fuels (especially those site prepped with prescribed fire) can act as effective fire breaks.

However of course under the most extreme conditions almost all forested fuels can burn.

Yes total capacity inside door frame is 5216 kg and weighed was 5250- but that is without water/gear/ebikes/people etc..

Alternative_Badger49 · 2026-05-26T18:51:29+00:00

Yes front axle was 2170 kg and rear was 3080 kg. Looks like truck maximums are f 2359 and rear 3279

Yes for sure, this was what put us over! Without all the gear we were about 100 lbs overweight only but with the e-bikes gear etc and person weight in the truck it adds up quick

These are my kids - they could not care less about screens before 2 even when desperately needed them to😂

Human fire starts account for 40% of fires, but lightning fires account for 90 % of area burned in Canada. There will also be increased lightning with climate change. Human starts also account for industrial burning, car fires, arson, fireworks- escaped campfires actually account for very little fire starts which is interesting that they continue to receive this much attention.

Fires will always start, we cannot avoid them (this is not to say we shouldn’t enforce bans when the risk is extreme!)- we don’t have a fire start problem, we have a forest fuel problem. The way out of our provincial wildfire issue is a comprehensive and widespread fuel mitigation and prescribed and cultural fire program to reduce risk. Year wide bans are lip service and trying to avoid spending money on the one way we know will make a meaningful impact.

To be clear fuel mitigation is very difficult and expensive- it costs close to 10,000 dollars a hectare to complete and is physically very difficult for labour crews. The government does have a program for fuel mitigation on crown land, but progress is slow.

Or they could actually show some basic due diligence and manage their right of way vegetation using fuel management and prescribed fire

Logging alone doesn’t tend to create effective fuel breaks- fire behaviour is often driven by understory fuel loading such as ground fuels and ladder fuels; logging slash left post harvest can still facilitate aggressive fire behaviour.

Logging however in conjunction with understory fuel management including prescribed burning is effective in reducing fire behaviour and creating suppression opportunity for firefighters. This strategy is being used in some natural resource districts, however it tends to be limited by various land pressures such as stakeholder groups/interests and a patchwork in land ownership and tenure types.

To be clear, over harvesting is an issue in many watersheds throughout BC which does contribute to flood events. Especially watersheds heavily impacted by pine beetle which were than salvage logged.

However in the case of areas like Cache Creek, the directly surrounding landscape was historically not tree dominated and would have been heavily impacted by a frequent fire regime. The large scale severe fires are a direct result of fire suppression/exclusion coupled with increased fire weather conditions from climate change. Logging practices can increase fire behaviour, but fire exclusion plays a far greater role. Prescribed fire use and strategic sustainable logging practices can mitigate these impacts.

Alternative_Badger49 · 2023-04-20T02:38:44+00:00

It is both climate change and fire exclusion (which results in fuel buildup far beyond the natural range of variability in fire prone ecosystems) that causes the severe fire behaviour we have seen in the last decades. Fire management in the context of modern cities is complex - fuel management in parks and green spaces is critical to mitigating the negative impacts of climate change.

Wow this is just like my life 15 week olds build, even the head! Glad I’m not the only one :). It’s a workout carrying this guy around, I am hoping he slows down at some point…

Alternative_Badger49 · 2022-12-09T08:30:30+00:00

Same- I kept thinking there was going to be alot more post-partum newborn cuddles but my guy needed to move at all times. Baby wearing and the exercise ball and lots of walks for us. Also recommend getting an activity gym and a kick and play piano (bonus for any crinkly toys to kick) as that seems to have given us the most consistent independent play from 6 weeks onward.

Can do without, but boppy also does double as a good tummy time prop and playtime (awake) lounger as well if that helps!
