[QUOTE="Boll Weevil, post: 4753773, member: 10006"] Afraid of catching the woods on fire is a very healthy thing!! :D Regarding burning, that's a whole tutorial in itself. Read up on it, take a class, work with or ask to observe a prescribed burn crew, learn as much as you can from foresters but whatever you do don't just go out and drop a match. There's alot to it: preparing firebreaks, wind direction and speed, fuel load and type, humidity, topography, backing vs head fires, flanking...could go on an on. All that being said, once you learn how and under what conditions, develop your burn plans, prepare your breaks, and start small. Make sure you have enough help, water, radios, call in your permit the day before, and don't get in a hurry. Bigger brushpiles often become havens for nest raiders if they encourage burrowing. As well, they might not let enough light get through so stuff grows up, around, and through them. We just fell and leave'em where they drop...if there's a grove of cedars back in bigger timber usually cutting them all opens up enough of a hole so sunlight gets through and stuff sprouts. [/QUOTE]
