Manage episode 366183587 series 2636572
This week... fire! Artemis is joined by Jaidyn Hranicka in Wisconsin, who works as a prescribed burn specialist. Wisconsin has a multitude of different ecosystems -- deep dark woods brush up against prairie-like oak savannas. Jaidyn talks to us about what it's like to work in the fire industry. Plus: Turkey misses, brook trout, and trail baloney.
2:00 Trail baloney: A mixed-game, smoked, and pan-fried treat (also a great friend-maker)
4:30 Wisconsin's varied ecotypes
7:00 Fishing for native brook trout in small streams
8:00 Reintroducing fire to oak savannas
13:00 Prescribed fire as a surrogate for natural fire; It's a management tool for fire-adapted ecosystems
18:00 Burning different ecotypes at different times of the year, but generally in a March-May window
22:00 The effect of Rx burn on wetlands
25:00 The nuts and bolts of a day of prescribed burning
29:00 "Dot ignition" and low-intensity fire strategies (plus, sleepover duty for one crew member)
32:00 Fire stories: the one that got away... #nostructuresharmed
38:00 "Burn boss" ... might be the best job title ever
42:00 Loving where you live
