The one in the video was Irwin originally but i looked at the wrong one for pricing
I think both Irwin and Klien tools are "good" brands. Im not an electronics afficianto though, but i do see those all over at higher prices.
how much would something like this cost over there? Even the knock off? Knock offs often work just as well, theres only so many ways to make a tool like this
Or maybe its not the snow in Texas? Is it the ashes from LA?
On the other hand, when the fire is so wild, why is it not fought back with fire? Since my childhood I knew the theory that if you can't fight the fire, prepare the area upfront and start the controlled fire there. When they both meet, they will not have anything to burn on and just stop.
I have never seen this being used in practice though...
Let me turn my parser off! Jk wasnt me.. Havent noticed anything here yet
Oh ok.
Fighting fire with fire? I am not sure if that's something that's recommended in an area/region with potentially high population and property. Yes, something like that could be tried in an abandoned area to check if it really works. But, ig, when reducing property or life loss is something that's a priority, I don't think the firefighters would actually try something like that out.
In any case, like any other natural calamity, humans have a very big hand in setting the stage for them. This wildfire is no different. Pretty sure, we already know the reasons, but in a few weeks, I am pretty sure theres gonna be a govt appointed commission that's gonna find irregularities in the town planning and what not! But, like every other time, those will be buried soon enough when the next Marvel movie launches or when the media gets other juicy topics to exploit.
That reminds me of a real old movie, Butterfly effect! I should watch that again. I dont remember too much of it but i remember it was good. Something about a guy that can alter the past or something i think?..
Well, letting the wildfire expand for third day in a row doesn't help the wild life at all. If fire vs fire was started after first day, it would have been stopped already and less area would have been lost to it. I guess, making such decision is hard for a human - you admit that fire won against you...
I heard that is why they do control fires too. Eventually you get so much brush built up everywhere that it can lead to a huge fire. Theres a research out there about how putting out fires is actually making the fires much more danagerous and destorying parts of the forest because they dont go through this natural "purging" cycle
yeah cant go wrong with either! Do those brands sell tools out there?
it definilty gets tough when there is high population around. Control fires is things they do in grassy plains places in teh USA believe. Likely other parts of the world that are near civilization. California is just so packed though... its on another level
It will be interesting to see the cause indeed. Sometimes there are big fire outbreaks because of someone dropping a match or doing a weird reveal party of some sort. Sometimes fireworks. I would not be too surprised if they find there was someone being careless and they set it off.
I think one problem with that too is that i guess it was super windy the first day too which would make any started fires difficult to contain as well
Oh don't know about the movie. Added to watchlist
Oh ok..you are right there. BTW has this principle been used before in any of the devastating wildfires before? I am curious now.

Heres some talk about the concept in action! They dont see to note any specific fires fought with fire though controlled burning is essentially that, fight the fire before the fire starts
I just read the premise and it sounds very interesting indeed. Really dont remember much from so long ago.. I dont want to spoil it but it does involve altering the past! I want to watch as well now... Perhaps when the telly arrives!
