  • Mate: I doubt you'd have been "safe" on the south side of St Helens when it blew. The 18 May 1980 blast decapitated about 300+ meters of the volcano's summit; it beheaded glaciers which melted producing great mudflows down the south-side drainages. If you'd have been on the south side of MSH 18 May 1980, you'd have been in serious shit.

  • I like how you are never in a hurry, in the videos of you driving Everybody passes you from cars to semi trucks... I dig it cuz everyone one is in a damn hurry to go nowhere.

    Cheers!!!

  • Always dope music. Thanks for sharing.

  • if you cool ice cream quickly the crystals are quite small and makes for a much smoother texture, where as if it takes a longer time to cool the ice cream the crystals are much larger in comparison. just like the volcanic rock.

  • is this thunderfoot?

  • 57 People died in this 29 years ago and 250 homes were damaged by the toutle river west side, I heard it blow that morning

  • oo was that you chatting with some lady from :15-:17 ;P...haha you said blimey lol and whats that at 9:03?

  • wow i really like this beat on the music is there a name for artist

  • Like a kid in a candy-made-of-science store!

  • I know, right? I'm so going there :P

  • how come all the cool natural disasters never happen to me?

  • It's easy, really. Pick your disaster, then pick a geographic location predicted for decades to experience such a disaster (or even more simply, one that experiences it regularly). Bonus odds if you pick a location desperately underfunded to prepare or brace against the disaster!

  • I remember when it ahppened ash fell all the way in Vancouver. Looked like snow in summer.

  • Great video! I am glad you saw the Forest Learning Center. It is the best facility on SR 503.

    Some quibbles. MSH is only 50,000 years old. The biggest eruption occurred in 1480 (VEI-6). You were in the blast zone, but the area is owned by Weyeheauser, who replanted the damaged trees within 3 years of the eruption. And the purple wildflowers are Lupines, the Red are Common Paintbrushes, the yellows are monkey flowers and the whites are pearly everlastings.

  • No sound? krakatoa was heard thousands of miles away.

  • Obviously, God is pissed.

    =P

  • Duh, that's why he made Ann Coulter.

    X D

  • The discoloration of the inside is just the difference between heartwood and sapwood.

    Sapwood is xylem that is actively used in transporting water from the roots to the leaves. Heartwood is xylem that no longer transports water, collects chemicals like tannins, and becomes darker.

    It is incorrect to say that sapwood dies to become heartwood, because xylem is basically dead anyway. It is composed of the remnants of once-living cells - the cell walls composed of cellulose.

  • Yeah like BirdValiant said, on the inside of the tree you get supplies coming up from the roots (water and soil nutrients) and on the outside you get supplies going down to the roots (glucose from leaves and other stuff). In fact if you take a plant and just slice off the outer circumference of the stem, the plant will not die immediately but eventually it will because the roots will starve.

  • Heart wood and sapwood have different properties which have been used in things like long bows where the inner surface of the bow is heart wood which resists compression and the outer part of the bow which is sapwood which stretches like elastic, I hope I've got them around the right way.... but you get the general idea I hope. ^_^

  • Hmmm no idea, the only relevant thing I remember from biology is that roots have the tubes which carry nutrients in the middle of the root to resist pulling forces whilst the stem have the tubes spaced out round the circumference of the stem to resists bending forces. Evolution at its best!

  • Your time lapses are so cool.

  • Also see beakon rock and haystack rock.

  • Check out the ape caves and ice caves in the area. I live near there and there great. Also see crater lake in oregon

  • But but but, I didn't see jesus anywhere there. Therefor, its all evolutionist lies!

    *cough*

    You are quite the filmmaker. The opening scene was quite nice. What framerate did you use to get that?

  • I love it when he's in the Learning Centre.

    Like a kid in a sweet shop...

  • I second that!

    Mainly because you've taken the words out of my mouth!

  • I grew up 30 miles away from Mt. St Helens and was 12 when she blew. I always love seeing the mountain. I was visiting England on May 18th 1980 when she really blew up, but I returned to see several other eruptions. At University I got to take part in the study of vegetation and insect recovery in the devastated area.

    The red flowers are indian paint brush, blue would be alpine lupine. The yellow could have been any number of things.

    Anyhow! Thanks for posting and welcome to Washington!

  • That was fun

  • Zelans on Mount St Helens?!!!

    ...

    Eh, fergedaboudit.

  • Your videos are inspiring. Great work.

  • hahaha your like a kid in a candy shop there xD

    was there magma u zoomed into?

  • Magma is the name for liquid rock before it reaches the surface, so it's technically impossible to film magma. :)

    The eruption of Mount Saint Helens was a pyroclastic event—mostly ash, rocks, and poisonous gases—there was no lava. The bright spot at the top of the mountain when he zoomed in was a cloud lit by the sun.

  • ah :P... then there was something burning in the picture then xD

  • Oh darn, I posted three times. Sorry :(.

  • Change in coloration of wood is caused by folowing:

    Only few outer rings are actually used for water transport and therefore remain almost white. Inner rings are saturated with polysacharides, tanins, resin etc. which causes specific colorations. By some trees is the difference in color almost indistinguishable (genus Acer, dont know entlish name), by others is it very profound like in ebony (genus Diospyros).

  • Damn, replace "entlish" with "english".

  • Yeah the inner part is called the Pith or Heartwood and the lighter area is called the sapwood. The division between the two layers is called the Primary Xylem.

  • Isn't this the same process that causes petrification?

  • petrification is a type of fossilization where there is a filling in of pore spaces, and the re-mineralization of current tissues.

  • Pith is not the same as heartwood.

    Stem (trunk) anatomy radiating outward from pith (center):

    Pith (spongy parenchyma tissue), primary xylem, secondary xylem, vascular cambium (actively dividing layer that produces secondary xylem and phloem), secondary phloem, primary phloem, cork cambium, and cork.

    Heartwood is xylem that has stopped transporting water. This consists of all primary xylem and much of secondary xylem. The division between heart and sapwood is only due to water transport.

  • Heartwood is the xylem that no longer transports water. It is for its central location. It functions in support for the tree. In very old trees, it can be rotted away, while the tree itself still lives.

    Sapwood is so named because it transports sap, meaning water and minerals in this case, from the roots to the leaves. This functional xylem is made out of the same cells, tracheids and vessel elements (not the latter in conifers) as heartwood, only it actually transports water.

  • How many MPH was this one, eh?

  • Vancover Vancover... I see it.

    That museum does look like a blast. You were like a child in a candy store in there.

  • 8:50

    "Insects...oh really! They're quite nice"

    Lol...you have a great appreciation for a diversity of things ;0

  • Nice stuff.

    So - find out about the discoloration of the trees then!

  • Fascinating, I didn't know about "zones of silence".

    Did you see any creationist propaganda?

  • Mordor?

  • We need to pester AronRa into making some videos like these next time he is on a trip.

    This is better then going myself. :D

  • Tf00t,

    Is that you in front of the car at 1:13? If so, looking cool dude!

  • i'm not from America, so it's great seeing your journey :)

  • 3 times you wrote that, grow the fuck up.
