Major props to the video editor on showing the burn pattern that looks like Oklahoma when you were talking about Oklahoma early in the video at 1:57. Love your channel, Dusty.
Hello Dusty & Guys! Yikes! Fires like that gives me concerns! I live in Torrance, So. Cal. & periodically, we have controlled burns that go out of control!!! So, I am now allergic to fire soot & smoke. Please, will you all wear some kind of mask next time a burn?!
Thank you Cole for filming and most especially for editing and getting this out so quickly!!
Dusty ~ this was awesome! I like fire as well. It’s a great tool… but she definitely needs to be watched.
To all the helpers ~ thank you. Bright blessings to you and yours.
Enjoy your time away. Blessings & Abundance ❤
Thank you!!
WOW!!! Thank you SO MUCH for showing ALL the preps you did before this burn. The drone shots show why this was all required. Such a grand job to prepare ahead. Agree that controlled burns are a necessity to maintain land health. You are a great steward of your land.
Everyone the good Lord was watching out over all of you thank you for helping Dusty and his family in this controlled 🔥!
The fire suppression policy in the forests of the Pacific Northwest is the major cause of the huge wildfires we now suffer from. Fuel such as dead falls and brushy undergrowth has been allowed to build up so bad, that when a fire ignites there is no controlling or extinguishing it.
People in my part of California (and likely other parts) have PTSD that gets activated when they smell smoke. Too mich experience with wildfires. Native Americans used to do controlled burns for centuries. The forest service does a few. I am glad you have great support for your burns.
They should take a lesson from OK and start doing it again.
When Trump said this is what has to happen in California to help prevent forest fires so many uneducated couch potatoes with an opinion , brush has to be removed.
Problem is that they tried recreating an eastern-style suburban wonderland with no understanding of the role of fire in the Californian ecosystem (or of any other place west of the Appalachians). Hell, it wasn’t until the 60s that they stopped building huge brickblock schools that looked like something out of Chicago or NY and began building for the climate (open-air locker walls in SoCal for an example).
Why I'd never live there. Especially with the prolonged drought.
Every wimp on the planet thinks they have ptsd. Lol
I've had the chance to work prescribed burns on bluff prairies up in Minnesota (some of the few prairies you can still find up here). Fire people are of a special kind. They always know their stuff and love what they do. Congratulations on a great burn!
Most people don’t understand how much science is actually involved with fire. Even if you’re fighting it you have to understand and respect that she is a living, breathing, organism. You did this so smart!
This was super interesting, can't wait to see it in the spring! The over head shots look crazy with the burned area vs non burned
So much fun!! Great plan Dusty, and y’all, they did not just do this off the cuff…. They had lots of help, Dusty and Daniel both worked doing this kind of thing. And they got the experts to plan and help execute this fire! I think everyone had a pretty good time! 😁
I love the cooperation of all the various agencies and of course the volunteers. Burning is so beneficial to grasslands and pastures. I'm from North Carolina and we burn our pastures every year on rotation. Our hay fields thrive and produce great harvests. Great job on a successful, safe burn. Love your channel. Those bison are beautiful and huge. Blessings to all of you.
Tell Gov. Newsome this is how it's done.
California government (or should I say "lack of") could learn something from this. The main reason there are so many uncontrollable wildfires there is because they've outlawed controlled burns which helps remove the underbrush that helps fires to spread so rapidly. Great job!
Very interesting video!
Watching from The Netherlands. Just surfing on the internet and then I heard you telling about bison. I became a watcher from the start.
Understand about regrowth and getting rid of the Johnson grass, but the whole thing is kind of scary.
Glad you had the professional guys supervising.
Hi. Watching from Scotland 🏴
Thanks for having me out Dusty! Awesome burn day and I had a blast making this video! Have fun in Yellowstone and I'll see you in a couple weeks for working prep. -Cole 🕺🔥🦬
Thanks, Cole, for the great videos!! Glad you found your drone in one piece! I know Dusty appreciates the help and company!!! Take care, God bless you both!!
Your videos were great, Cole! Thank you for sharing your talents/expertise with us! BTW--GREAT soundtrack, too!
Controlled burns are TERRIFYING n necessary! My father n uncles n all the men on the mtn were forest fire fighters.all volunteer and all experienced because the old farmers used fire n sometimes it got away from them..those guys did an amazing job!!
I really admire all of those that was there to help with the fire burn and the great job y'all done. Thank you again for such an amazing video.
My heart was racing. Many don't realize how important burning is for rejuvenation of the land. Great work all around.
Good job everyone!
Thanks for helping Dusty!
Wow. I mean WOW! Dusty, great job coordinating. Cole, great job putting it all together on video.
As someone who was a volunteer firey for 20 years you guys were well prepared for this controlled burn but you cannot anticipate sudden change in fire behavior in most situations over here in Australia if any sector of a burn gets up and run all resources are used to pull any escaped fire
This is great. I hope this gets shared everywhere. The general public has no experience with these controlled burn fires. We have been biased against them because of news coverage when they go wrong but when they go as planned we get nothing. History shows grass fires as something most rural people planned for. Keeping the ground around our buildings clear of fuel is wise preparation. Rural areas must be more proactive because accidental fires are more common. National parks have become more proactive with fire. It used to be that logging activities would clean out the overgrown forest but now we have tree huggers setting policy and the fire dangers have gotten much worse. Logging roads and selective marking of trees for removal was part of the National Forrest Service job but this is gone today. It needs to be restored. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Wow ... another amazing video of the burn !! Worked like clockwork with everyone involved ! Glad it all went so well . Was a little sketchy at one time ! Thank You all for this information on what a burn can do and letting us be a part of it ! Can’t wait to see the spring grasses come in !! Blessings to you all !! When these guys get together to organize ... they do it right !
Awesome! I'm so glad it went smooth. Can't wait to see the results come spring! Thanks to everyone for your help.
Wow! Thanks for sharing Dusty. It's very educational to see professionals with volunteers, handling a productive and healing fire. Have a great vacation. Hope to see you with the herds soon. Prayers for health and safety!
Australia does a lot of controlled burns as well. The more drought we have the more necessary it is to have burns that can be controlled. The 2019 through 2020 fire season and the amount of Australia that was on fire that Christmas through to the new year is an example of what can happen when the balance in the environment is not properly maintained.
Absolutely amazing! I'm happy to see you did a burn instead of using chemicals. A great benefit for your bison. For hundreds of years nature took care of itself, using fire to bring health to the prairie. I'm praying you get good rain in the Spring and we'll get to see the native grasses come back and provide new life to your lands. A big Thank You to everyone who helped Dusty with this important project!!!!! 👍👍👍
As a two three year old, I watched our house burn! I’m still terrified of fire controlled or not.
Neighbors helping neighbors. Is a team. 😘
Controlled fire is the best thing for community, animals and Mother Earth.
Here in New England, we have a ton of stone walls. Most think they're property bounds but in fact they're fire breaks. Each field is enclosed on 4 sides so the farmers could light up a field and let the stone wall keep the burn contained.
That shot of the burn unit looking like Oklahoma is GOLD! Keep Oklahoma beautiful/burnin’!
I am very impressed with every step of this process. I had no idea this was so involved. How smart that the proper help is available to optimize the burn and help the land. Once again you have done a stellar job and shown by example that doing it right is the safest way. Enjoy Yellowstone, I understand it just reopened. I've been there many years ago and should put it on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing and educating.
I like going to the flint hills in Kansas and watch the controlled burns. My father was a volunteer fireman. It is amazing to see the new growth and how green everything looks after a good rain. Thanks for sharing. Brought back some good memories!
Dusty is fixing to get an overdose of his burn. Drone shots are so awesome. Lots of smoke.
I do these prescribed burns on a much smaller scale with my 2 boys, burning a few acres at a time. The results are phenomenal and I would suggest anyone that wants to manage their land use fire as one of their tools. Thanks for sharing.
Dusty that couldn’t have been better. Working with all right people and getting your plan together days ahead was what made this so Spectacular. I can’t wait to see it in the Spring. Like Cole said “This helps all the Wildlife “. I can’t say enough of how Fantastic this was to watch. 🎥
You take such good care of those Amazing Bison 🦬. They are Majestic animals and Thank you for Caring and Loving them.
Great Job to everyone and a Big Thank you for everyone who Volunteered. 🇺🇸 You’re obviously not the Only Firebug LoL
Many Blessings to y’all 🎚
I’m sitting in Ohio. Ugh
Nora🥀
WOW WOW WOW! That was just amazing to watch! What an effort that was and the benefits will be fantastic next year when your Bison get to set foot on the new growth. Well done Dusty & everyone involved.
Maybe Daniel should do a controlled burn on his place to get some grass for his animals. It got scary there for a few minutes! Good job Dusty, you took all safety precautions.
Daniel usually burns every year!
When Europeans and east coast Americans moved out into the prairie centuries ago they were amazed by the sea if grasses that greeted them with no trees to be seen clear to the horizon unless there was a small watershed or river that allowed bushes to grow along its banks so that the bushes would show above the grasslands to allow men to locate water. Even the bushes however did not come near to being trees.
As the US grew and the federal government wanted the land settled they also wanted terraformed or changed thing a sea of grasses was not optimum and so free land grants came along with many rules about what improvements a homestead had to make and while these could different from state to state and grant to grant ever one demanded the planting of trees whether it was a line to be planted on both sides of your road you cut into your land, or any road you created to give access or for ever so many acres you claimed you also had to plant fruit baring trees in an orchard as well as shade provision near homes and barns, trees like willows along artificially dug ponds as at the time willows were thought to not only be drought resistant but promoted water collection while in reality they had massive root systems capable seeking water from any where, meaning that when it was dry the willows resistance to lack of water was due to it being able to take water from irrigation of fields, water for grass growing etc. Many also required trees at intervals along fence lines to break winds and snows which actually caused more damage to the land while seen as better for the farmer and rancher. The years of drought known as the dust bowl era was not helped by fact that the swathes of grasslands had a century if supporting trees growing and sucking a lot of water that could have been moisture left in the grounds to let the prairie grow its grasses that feed wild and domestic herds in massive numbers. Add to removing moisture needed to support those grasses, some now long extinct, the government pushed to move animals into the prairie that consumed so much grass for a smaller size, returned nothing to the land, the added pressure of grasses consumed to feed sheep and goats did all its damage.
And, because acres did not burn naturally and fires were put out if started, invasive and sometimes toxic grasses moved in to fill in the gaps left by grasses that went extinct due to needing a burn now and then to propagate correctly.
Loved watching the process. Definitely a lot of experienced individuals with the burn. Will love to see what the spring brings.
I remember seeing a lot of controlled burns in Florida when I was a kid.
Wow you are doing it right. That fire is something.
Cole did a great job with his interviewing and got us all the explanations we needed
Wow, a lot has been burned. Looks good. This is the way to get the job done. Professionals for sure!
Praying for rain for everyone who needs it.
Grass fires aren't fun when they get out of control. Well done 👏
I saw a Prairie burn here in Indiana. It is a necessary job. You could tell you enjoyed it!
Good job with the prep work and planning! I learned a lot watching your video!
🍍😎🤙🌴🥥🌺🌈
Awesome! I remember as a child and teen down in South Florida, "they" did controlled burns in the Everglades often.
Wonderful burn. That 60 acres is gonna look awesome come spring. Great job to everyone.
Glad everyone is safe. At 1:57, the fire looked like the state of Oklahoma!
Lol, 1st thing I thought of when I saw it too
Thank the Lord everyone is okay. Great job. God bless you all.
Now I see why firefighters start fires in certain areas to utilize wind direction. They are awesome 👏
My Daddy was a Forestry Warden in South Carolina. When there was parades or going out to schools my Daddy always dressed up in Smokey the Bear outfit. He would burn off his fields and used same thing as you did to start the fires.

I am watching this from Nebraska and I hope that everyone is doing well
Excellence at its best!!!
Well done!!!
Thank you for sharing this moment with us.
And the importance of getting it done.
And thank you to all that came together to help Dusty and his Buffalo.
Wow! Glad you had help. Sounds like the fireman understood the problems an help you guys. Exciting.
We do this every three years on our farm. The prairie has responded well, and the wildlife is abundant.
Things I’ve learned from many large burns:
Chose your days wisely. Conditions are everything.
Have good burn breaks-mow them short. I noticed yours were just bush hogged. Use a zero turn at low setting.
No poly anything on. Cotton if you don’t have nomex.
Call the local fire depts.and let them know. (Or someone else will)
Expect the unexpected. Have nothing of value in the burn area. Game cameras, blinds, feeders, etc-need moved out.
Don’t be afraid of the process to the point it keeps you from doing it. It’s well worth the time and effort and the natural transformation to the site will be inspiring. God made it this way.
Great operation from start to finish. Especially liked the briefing. Was trilled to see the leaf blowers in use. I research using these in the early '90s as part of my MS work and published our findings in "Restoration and Management Notes." As far as I know that was the first time it had been tried.
You probably know this, but the fire ecology/RX burn group at OSU is the best in the country, at least for grassland RX fire. Great resource I would recommend to anybody in the Great Plains.
Couple of points, however.
Throw out those silver torches and get all Panamas with 19" snoots. You can just drag the wick on the ground. This saves fuel, and gets the fire at the bottom of the grass so it can burn up and out much quicker than drippling it on top.
If you get a chance, raking the hay out of the mow line would make for a stronger and easier to work break.
Something you might want to consider: Putting in an dirt line after mowing with a rototiller to create an actual nonflammable line. If you only put it in the ground an inch or so the grass will come right back from the roots. I've used in the Nebraska Sandhills, supposedly highly subject to wind erosion, and by the end of the growing season you can hardly tell where the dirt line were. Nebraska Game and Parks sticks the tiller in the ground as far as it will go and so get a lot of annual forbs. They don't mind this in their context because the forbs grow a lot of seeds and insects for birds. Somebody who's growing meat animals is more interested in grass and will probably opt for the shallow setting. If the mowline is properly prepped a five-foot tractor-mounted tiller will do the job in one pass.
Good luck and stay safe.

It's a good thing you did this now. The next 2 weeks are supposed to get a little crazy with the weather pattern. Great work. Cole is really in his element doing these fires. Doing controlled burns really helps the flora and fauna.
I imagine you tell your neighbors so they don’t freak out. It looks great. Control burn. Some people won’t understand.
Dusty, this is new to me. We always did our burns in April; (8 miles north of the Oklahoma line). It is a beautiful thing to see when it comes back so perty an' green. One year we had a young kid that got panicked with a feed truck in the middle of a burn (thank heaven he got out safe) Fire got so hot it melted the glass in the whole windshield and the steering wheel to boot. Always gotta be super careful. Be blessed.
OMG DUSTY. IT'S PRIME CONDITIONS FOR FIRES.
STAY SAFE AND TAKE CARE 🙏 ❤ 💓
Growing up in the 50s and 60s (Western Idaho/Eastern Washington) I remember the smoke in the air from the burning of the fields. It was a lot different in those days. Interesting how much it has changed. The planning that goes on is amazing. Nice job. The drone footage was beautiful. 👍🏻🥰
Awesome drone shots! And Dusty got his burn fix!! Wow! What a productive day! Thank you to all those volunteers who showed up to help a Bison Rancher! And I'm sure the bison and wildlife will flourish in the future. Isn't Mother Nature great?
If you guys plan to do this every few years, I consider training to be a hot shot. It teaches so much! How a fire burns is an art. So, burning, controlling and mostly how to survive if you have a wind shift.
Can’t wait to see how that pasture recovers over the next couples.
Hello from south bend, INDIANA!!!!!
Dusty it was such a smart move to burn. I know you will continue going forward. As a little girl alot of our neighbors use to burn their lawns every few years and what beautiful lawn they would have. It really is nothing but a benefit to the land. Thank you so much for sharing and spreading some awareness to making land better by burning!
Wow learning things all the time
Love watching this
Glad to see we still have real men out there! Great job and exciting to watch. Glad everyone is ok ❤
Good thing there were burn experts and the fire department and lots of volunteers. That could have turned ugly. Mother nature has her own mind. That's awesome they help each other out. I'm sure some of those helping may need help with burning their fields.
Dusty's water bill has to be insanely high. I wish him and his wife nothing but the best with his bison farm.
Cole,you done great with the video and interviews,thanks to Daniel and Ritchie and everyone else that help make it better for the bison.
Some of the drone video looked like lava! It was so cool. Thanks for sharing.
That was awesome. Cole you did a great job with the vid!!! Love the drone shots! Glad you got it back too.
Dusty, I can't wait to see these fields in the spring. Bison will benefit, that's for sure!
Thanks for bringing us along.
Well no one’s hurt so , THAT WAS FUN. And no drones were killed in the making this video !!!
THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE. I had no idea the amount of planning and coordinating of various agencies that would go into preparing and executing a burn like this. The various narrators as well as the drone video (especially the time-lapse) were also important parts of making this a very interesting video.
What an interesting lesson for all of us that this is just foreign too. I enjoyed it.
My understanding from the Smoking the bear ads, was more about leaving a burning camp fire or any fire unattended. I never got that it said stop burning.
Enjoy your videos.dont put the bison in danger or yourself and your help
Contained fire. Conservation. Learning experiences.
What a great video. So informative. Big thanks to all the volunteers and organizations helping out
I've been in Oklahoma during burning season its amazing to see
Again great burn and teamwork Dusty you had an awesome burn 🤗❤️🙏
All I can say is wow great work. Glad everybody is safe
From a firefighter for the guys on the hose, keep them on a heavy fog rather than a straight stream.
As dangerous as that burn looks I am glad that you were all safe and had no issues. I also thought "them boys and their toys". Take care.
Thank you for sharing this....am in the UK and this year we have had a real change in weather conditions.....so on the hottest day of our year...we had a fire start unsupervised.....Ie by accident...a glass bottle from strangers left behind....sun heat and grass around....this caused a fire......and when I was notified...the flames were out of control some 30 foot high.....the sound of fire can be very earie.......took us some 8 hours and the number of fire tenders that helped us was 8 in total.....the devastation left behind all black and charred was a shock for me.......but am hoping that in the spring the grass will come back......so thank you Dusty for sharing what a controlled burn can be like.....years ago we used to burn stubble for arable land...but it is frowned upon now.....
Congratulations on a successful burn. I watched it live and I had my grandchildren watching fascinated. Cole you did a great job and have brought a great perspective to these videos. Thank you.
Take care. Be safe. OMG tough job to have burn at this time of the season. But you gotta do what you gotta do. Love the song to your video.
Gosh, love the music! Thanks Dusty, Susan from Virginia USA
Wow, the detailed organization and reasons to do or not do things for this entire burn process is fascinating.
I’m just amazed! I’ve never watched a control burn! Never thought I’d enjoy watching bison either but Daniel said to watch! We’ll now I’m hooked!!
Great controlled burn! 👏👏👏 Bravo!! Dusty, you Lil firebug!! 🤭🔥
Absolutely amazing,incredible team work and organization thanks for sharing 👍👍👍🔥🔥🥰
BRAVO!!! Oh, hell yes! Fantastic! Fifty years ago, in college, we were hearing that ol' Smoky had done his job too well. Time has born this out all too dramatically. Burning is in no way an exact science, but you were doing it right. Those blackberries suck moisture out of the ground. Grasses do you more good than berries and they will come back anyway. I might have dumped some of those trees well before hand so they burned up. Now, I'd, under the right conditions, go in under the trees and burn out to the burned area. Bison forever!
