im not going to deny that its neet to see these trees but the fact of the matter is a lot of people get the wrong idea when it comes to logging and if they just sat down and did a little resurce they would really come up with different views talk to a logger and you will get a different view other than one of the eco nut
wrong idea? WTF Maxxam has raped northern California old growth forests pretty much to extinction. The warrior and hero's who are sacrificing everything to save them deserve to be treated 1000x better than they have been. Whatever actions tree defense activists have taken has been justified by the pure good they contribute to our earth!
I've been to the Olympic National Forest a couple times now and no words can describe the feeling you get being surrounded by such old growth. You conveyed every feeling I ever felt trudging around in those fern and moss covered forests. The fact that you say this place trumps ONF boggles my mind. I can't wait to experience this place for myself.
The self-righteous hypocrit discriminating KOOKS on here make me laugh. "trees feel pain" don't cut them down , they're BIG and OLD ! But this carrot stick is SMALL and YOUNG , I'll RAPE it out of the ground , and bite it's head off ! LMFAO ! ! !
Imagine what the world would look like without there ever being humans around.
Here in DK nature doesn't exist anymore, everything is either city, road, plantations, fields for crops; there is propably not one square foot left that has not been ploughed or dug or built upon as some point in time.
For a Man, Women or extraterrestrial to bring any type of harm to these beautiful objects is SHAMEFUL! Dollars or any other currency is not worth 1000 or 2000 years of life period. It's one thing to drill for oil in a place people are not happy with, Quite another to take a life 1000 + years old, shame on us! I knew about it, your video just brought it back home to me.
Get real. Your grandparents and great-grandparents demanded the clear lumber, without knots, that came from the old growth. They would not buy the knotty lumber.
You and others here need to lose the halos.
There are thousands of acres of preserved Redwood, with MILLIONS of board feet of growth added yearly. They also grow in New Zealand, but they don't name each one and hold sceances for each one that has departed.
As far as I know this channel doesn't support Halo's at all but it does support life. Not many things live for 2000 + years on this planet. Fuck the wood, there are better and more viable options to getting wood products.
Whether you like it or not this species will be protected. You my good sir Baldrad are in the minority on this issue.
I wish you luck on getting your unknotty board feet in which you can stick where the sun doesn't shine. Gerald
Heh, I never was too fond of nature untill this channel... I can't believe the beauty there is on this planet... Too bad there are people willing to destroy this wonderful place just to make a profit... It truely is a sad thing. =[
Beautifully made film of a beautiful place. Everything was in respectful harmony although underlain by sorrow. I think that even if I did not know English, I would have understood your meaning from your hushed and measured tone alone. A true work of art.
Wheres the wildlife? Is there any birds there or was the camcorder not good enough to pick them up? its too scilent, a forest without birds is freaky!
You will find my page with videos and photos of the largest coast redwoods.
Iluvatar, Lost Monarch, Del Norte Titan, Atlas Tree.
Orick .. yes .. I drove through it. Odd town for my taste. People need to realize that sometimes a trade must diminish. I had a roommate whose family were skilled patternmakers, and computer machines put them out of business. At least they moved to furniture and adapted - no grudges.
Its easy to cut down these trees. BUT the sequioas took ages to get that big and they have supported life - surely logging redwoods is IGNORANCE.
A tiny fragment of the redwood forest remains and we need to save them. People in cities always want more MONEY and they will never stop wanting more! Even if ALL the TREES WERE GONE! Old growth forests are vital
I just now stumbled onto these videos. I appreciate you sharing your adventures with us and look forward to watching the rest. Peace, love and free thought be with you!
One of your finest videos yet. I stand by my earlier statement comparing you to a new David Attenborough...
There's this odd notion that plants, since they can't think and feel, are wholly disposable and meaningless, barely worthy of being considered 'alive' at all. That's always bothered me. Especially when coming face-to-face, as it were, with the oldest and greatest living things on this planet - trees like the ones Thunderf00t's filmed here. They *live* through so much, and deserve better.
Amaritudine, I agree with you. Except for the fact that we dispose of them meaninglessly because they are not considered "alive". Look how we treat animals; People seriously believe any living thing other than a human is for our haughty use and disposal!
No, to feel pain it must have something of a self-awareness or it won't know it's being damaged. Even if they would react to "pain", it wouldn't be a feeling but just an unconscious instinct of survival, not rooted in any awareness similiar to i.e. animals.
The reason these trees need to be protected is not because of any "hippie" ideals, not because of their great past, but because of the future of our planet. They are our sources of survival, so ironically even saving them would be egoistic.
Redwoods and giant sequoias are incredible. General Sherman and great, but I remember just walking through the forest where there were no tourists. It was totally quite and these massive trees, some of them older than the "Flood" I'm sure, towered over us.
I can't find any reference to a "James Irvine State Park". I can, however, find a "James Irvine Trail" in "Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park" along the northern coast of California.
Do you have to watch out for bears or pumas out on those trails?
It's a testament to a capitalist system that values money and market forces before ALL else.
Although those in power can always print more money, natural resources are finite and no matter how much we believe we are natures master, we will pay the ultimate price for such hubris, so long as it pollutes our society.
Whatever their political ideology, people suck whenever they feel that their greed warrants the destruction of anything and anyone whose existence is a barrier to profit.
'Economic expediency' is such a phenomenally powerful driving force in our world today; people live and die for it, even though the entire notion of money is a pretty abstract and artificial construct.
The tallest tree in the world, named Hyperion was found in 2006 nearby Orick, Ca. {near where this was filmed.}..I'ts actual location is still kept secret. It stands 379.1 ft. tall...........Fortunately the parks are large, and what happened on the east coast in this country, where all the old growth was cut down, didnt happen here.
Wow you really lived up to if not surpassed the name of this channel on that one. That was an absolutely beautiful video. It reminds me of a conservation I had once. A person who told me that government protected lands were pointless and a waste of space and money. "We could just make tree farms" he argued. Yes the mentality that cut down those majestic trees is still alive and well unfortunately.
Beautiful. I envy you so much, I wish i had the money to travel their as you do. You're an inspiration Tf00t. I wish England had been able to save it's famous forests, like Sherwood, which is now reduced to a crabby cabbage patch. :(
