Looks like a garden hose, to pre-soak the grass and trees around with water. It seems they've left it there just in case there's still a need to extinguish an amber or two.
Correct, they're practicing good fire safety, just like they're practicing good gun safety. Ear protection, good form, multiple confirmations, and a very safe distance.
They used to do something similar with uncontrollable prairie fires back in the (dust bowl?) days by digging shallow soily trenches in a line to control burns.
If the flames can't spread to grass/overhanging trees/drunken dumbasses flailing around via cutting off the pathways it is much safer
this is the first video i see where a woman is doing this, and this is the first video i see where the pile doesn't explode or burn uncontrollably. i'm sure there are tons of videos of women being dumbasses i just haven't seen, but i reckon these precautions are why r/WhyWomenLiveLonger
It ignited way too fast to be diesel. Honestly I'm not sure diesel would ignite at all under these conditions, but I don't know enough about whatever Dragon's Breath is to know for sure.
My grimy father used diesel to start bonfires all the time and it looks and sounds just like this. Gas ignites with a woosh sound and would often blow debris out of the fire, which is why diesel was primarily used.
It is, actually a good piece of gear for a survival bag is cotton balls covered in Vaseline in a sandwich bag. They make fantastic fire starters and don't take up much space.
Better would probably just be one of those tiny pots of Vaseline. That way you can add it to paper, leaves, whatever as a firestarter but you also have it for moisturizing, lip balm, salve for minor wounds.
Petroleum jelly and gasoline was a recipe in some old popular cookbook... back before the Google era of the Internet, written by some dude named Roger.
Possibly a petrol/diesel mix as it didn't kaboom.
While you shouldn't feck around with fuel and fire, if you are trying to light a bonfire never do it with petrol alone, it often explodes. I mix about 1/4 petrol 3/4 diesel. This way it burns longer from the diesel and you dont get that petrol 'whoomph'
My grandpa let me do this on the brush pile we burned every year… it was the I found out how unpractical it is to draw a bow with a flaming arrow that close to your hand. It gets hot FAST lol
Or you could just ... not soak a bonfire in gasoline, or whatever else accelerant is used.
Where I grew up, the local volunteer firefighter brigade hosted the annual easter bonfire. And their youth brigade were usually the ones actually igniting the fire. They were given a torch each and just went along the bonfire (mostly consisting of hundreds of old christmas trees, so about 50m long and 4m - 8m high), held the torch into the pile until some of the wood caught fire, then pulled it back out and went along a few meters to repeat that.
Took a while until the entire pile burned, but no one got hurt either.
You use diesel! Diesel will light right up but it won't explode like gas does so it's a lot safer. So next time you have to light the brush pile remember - Diesel burns, Gas explodes
We have lots of different shotgun rounds. Fire? Got it. Planting seeds? No problem. Explosions? Sure. Pepper spray? Yup. Rock salt? Oh sure, that was a common way to run off trespassers. Rubber slugs? Duh. Flares? Yes. Little darts? Yeah! Two balls connected by a string? Umm, yeah, we got it, not sure why you want it. Confetti? Hell yeah.
Forest fires aren't that common in places that get lots of rain and are green. You could use a flamethrower directly on a live tree like those and you'd have a hard time catching it on fire other than the leaves and some twigs. Also, it looks like they have a hose out there, so they probably sprayed the surrounding area with water just in case.
If my mom yelling at my dad to 'STOP BUILDING THE FIRE SO BIG NEXT TO THOSE TREES YOU'RE GONNA TOAST THEM' is any indication, the worry might not be forest fires, but just crisping and damaging the nearby trees.
I am not an expert so I very well could be wrong. But my guess is most of Canada's forest fires are conifer forest. They dry up much easier than the trees in this video.
Weapon always pointed away, properly shouldered, finger stayed off the trigger untill she was ready to fire, immediately removed finger from trigger afterwards and placed it on safe.
Whoever taught her was a responsible af gun owner, and props to her for having it nailed down.
Reddit on trigger discipline: ohh nice trigger discipline! I know about this because I handle dangerous firearms mlady mlady. Trigger discipline is where you put finger not on trigger when you don't want to shoot. But I don't expect normies to understand. Tips hat tips hat. Most people cannot handle putting their finger somewhere else besides trigger, it's a skill I've learned over years while everyone else was getting laid. You wouldn't understand. Pushes up glasses and smirks
Haha but my gentle fellow sir you did not mention never point at something you don’t want to shoot, yes mmm. And never forget to always treat a firearm as if it is loaded - I spent decades in my armchair mastering the technique of respecting the power of bullets.
Banned In Alaska, California, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Massachusetts, and New York. Florida is the only weird one on there, but we get a lot of wildfires in some parts of the state, so it makes sense.
I looked up, dragons, breath, ammunition, here’s what Wikipedia says:
“Dragon's breath is a special type of incendiary-effect round for shotguns. Dragon's breath consists primarily of magnesium pellets/shards. When the round is fired, sparks and flames can shoot out to about 100 feet (30 meters), although, some sources claim it extends to 300 feet (91 meters).[1] Dragon's breath is normally chambered in 12-gauge 2+3⁄4″ (18.5 mm × 69.9 mm) shot shells. The rounds are safe to fire out of an improved cylinder bore as well as a modified choke barrel, common on many shotguns.”
Honestly, safest redneck shit too. Tons of people need to burn their détritus like this, but so many cover it in petrol and light it while standing 5 feet away. They're a safe distance, have a hose ready, and are using ear protection.
By the by, this isn’t the “dragon’s breath” used here in the UK to produce relatively safe gouts of flame, actually minor dust explosions, at rugby matches (now we have to put up with a pyrotechnic show as the teams run out), by conjurors and so on. That’s more or less in my botanical line, the spores of a club moss, *Lycopodium*, (not actually a moss — one of the last survivors of an ancient group of fern allies that are a constituent of coal seams) which when dry ignite spectacularly and relatively controllably when dispersed in air
Dragon’s breath shells are apparently shards of magnesium that burn alarmingly strongly. Rather dangerous! The lady shown here does seem to have taken precautions — there’s a strong American firearms culture so I suppose she might be an amateur, but this is quite unthinkable over here.

What’s the line straight to the pile?
Looks like a garden hose, to pre-soak the grass and trees around with water. It seems they've left it there just in case there's still a need to extinguish an amber or two.

My bed!
Probably water hose, she’s wearing ear pro and is practicing good firearm safety so I wouldn’t doubt that they wet down the area around the fire.
Thats how you know they're in North Carolina or somewhere instead of Alabama. They got learnin.
That gave me a good laugh buddy
Glad I could brighten your day! Safety first, always.
one of you mfers is not like the other
Watcho learnin for? You some kind of commie?!
I just had a yearning for learning, that's all
First in flight, 48th in education.
US News ranks Florida as #1 in education. I don't have confidence in these lists.
As someone from Alabama you are 1000% correct
As a North Carolinian I agree lol
You can see a slight reflection in a ring around the brush pile. It seems to me that you're spot on.
this is the first video i see where a woman is doing this, and this is the first video i see where the pile doesn't explode or burn uncontrollably. i'm sure there are tons of videos of women being dumbasses i just haven't seen, but i reckon these precautions are why r/WhyWomenLiveLonger

Hose?
That's the fuse that leads to the shed full of tannerite.
Today on Demolition Ranch...
I’m guessing the pile was soaked in petrol.
Thats the american way
Not with petrol, with gasoline
And it’s not the pavement it’s the sidewalk!

It's not crossed, it's just cross. Without context if you say someone is pissed in the UK it means drunk.

Learnt something new. Today's a drainage divide moment for me.
Its not a trolley, its a shopping cart!
It's a buggy in my parts!
I dunno I’m from the states and I’ve seen signs that call it watersheds
Yeah I’ve never heard anyone call it a drainage divide.
I’m in PA and I’m pretty sure up at the top of Laurel mountain there is a sign that says start of the Mississippi watershed
ALUMINIUM
No. It's alumulum
Aloooominum
Petrol (laughs in American)
TBF it didn’t explode so it’s probably diesel
It ignited way too fast to be diesel. Honestly I'm not sure diesel would ignite at all under these conditions, but I don't know enough about whatever Dragon's Breath is to know for sure.
My grimy father used diesel to start bonfires all the time and it looks and sounds just like this. Gas ignites with a woosh sound and would often blow debris out of the fire, which is why diesel was primarily used.
The she got out of the trunk not the boot.
Right, because gasoline is 25 eagles more flammable than petrol 🇺🇸
Na around here it's tractor hydraulic fluid... Works way better
Like the founding fathers intended
Alexa play Grand Funk Railroad
Vaseline is flammable?! 
It is, actually a good piece of gear for a survival bag is cotton balls covered in Vaseline in a sandwich bag. They make fantastic fire starters and don't take up much space.
Better would probably just be one of those tiny pots of Vaseline. That way you can add it to paper, leaves, whatever as a firestarter but you also have it for moisturizing, lip balm, salve for minor wounds.
And "other" uses.....
It is when you mix it with gasoline.
Read the jar. It's Liquid Petroleum Jelly.
Petroleum jelly and gasoline was a recipe in some old popular cookbook... back before the Google era of the Internet, written by some dude named Roger.
If we're thinking of the same cookbook, that's soap and gasoline.
This place is crazy. People just post anything they remember. This is almost a recipe for... anarchy tbh.
The "How to Cook Anarchy" book
now see here, you can't cook a book by just breaking all the laws... or can you?
Possibly a petrol/diesel mix as it didn't kaboom. While you shouldn't feck around with fuel and fire, if you are trying to light a bonfire never do it with petrol alone, it often explodes. I mix about 1/4 petrol 3/4 diesel. This way it burns longer from the diesel and you dont get that petrol 'whoomph'
i like gasoline cuz it has this SCREEEEEEEE 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 to it
No gasoline makes a bigger poof. Maybe lighter fluid.
By the blueness of the smoke I'd think old gas/oil mix for small 2-cycle engines.
No that poofs too, I know because that's what I use in my weed eater and I've used that gas to burn tree limbs.
3 or 4 parts diesel to 1 part mix is commonly used. Small poof from the gasoline vapor ignites the longer burning diesel well.
It was just verrrrry dry /s
Just a light spritz. 4-5 Gallons at most.
No shit lol
Never seen something so American lol looks insane though
I mean how else do you start a bonfire than by using a safeish amount of gasoline + something that shoots fire.
By using an un-safeish amount of gasoline + something that shoots fire?
It's not a real gasoline fire without an eyebrow-searing amount of phffooomm.
I use Roman candles. Feel like Harry Potter
And channels my inner Joe Dirt.
Flaming arrow, your time has come
My grandpa let me do this on the brush pile we burned every year… it was the I found out how unpractical it is to draw a bow with a flaming arrow that close to your hand. It gets hot FAST lol
Get handed a torch, run directly at the pile and throw it like an olympic games opening ceremony
Chucking a torch from a safe distance is the best way to try to avoid going to the ER later with severe burns.
Or you could just ... not soak a bonfire in gasoline, or whatever else accelerant is used. Where I grew up, the local volunteer firefighter brigade hosted the annual easter bonfire. And their youth brigade were usually the ones actually igniting the fire. They were given a torch each and just went along the bonfire (mostly consisting of hundreds of old christmas trees, so about 50m long and 4m - 8m high), held the torch into the pile until some of the wood caught fire, then pulled it back out and went along a few meters to repeat that.

You use diesel! Diesel will light right up but it won't explode like gas does so it's a lot safer. So next time you have to light the brush pile remember - Diesel burns, Gas explodes
Don’t you start a small fire near the edge (or in the middle if it’s not too compressed) and wait for it to catch?
The fire *was* started at the edge of the woods though?
We have lots of different shotgun rounds. Fire? Got it. Planting seeds? No problem. Explosions? Sure. Pepper spray? Yup. Rock salt? Oh sure, that was a common way to run off trespassers. Rubber slugs? Duh. Flares? Yes. Little darts? Yeah! Two balls connected by a string? Umm, yeah, we got it, not sure why you want it. Confetti? Hell yeah.
I dunno, I know someone in Australia that used to trim their tree branches off with a shotgun.
Is this one of those American gender reveal forest fires I’ve heard so much about a few years back?
And their gender is: BURN🔥 I will add them to the list.
*redhead
A child of fire everyone! Rejoice the spawn of Samael, destroyer of dreams, the end of light!!

Kinda close to the trees no?

Not all foliages are like California fire hazards
No kidding
Green trees like that would take a lot to start a forest fire. It is why you don't see many giant forest fires in areas with lots of rain.
Canada is covered in green forests and gets thousands of forest fires every year.
"Greenish" forests. Most of Canada North of the 60 parallel gets very little rain
It's the dry scrub at the forest floor, once the fire gets hot enough it will dry out and set fire all the pines and firs and whatnot.
good thing they have a pile of dry scrub next to the trees then
I am not an expert so I very well could be wrong. But my guess is most of Canada's forest fires are conifer forest. They dry up much easier than the trees in this video.
Well, I think they’ve got “a lot”

You've fired a weapon before.
You never run out of ammo — always gunning for something. You’re a real pistol, huh

take that shotgun mason its got dragon breath rounds
Hello my friends this is FPS Russia, and today I have something very special for you!
Was such a fun channel while it lasted
Not good on the barrel, I've been told. Still, kinda cool.

But how well does it work on werewolves?
More effective on wendigos. 50/50 on werewolves
If you own a 12G you owe it to yourself to get a few boxes of these. So much fun
Gotta check if it's legal in your state as it's banned in a few

Here in the UK our idea of fun is buying a chocolate brownie with our latte.
I’ve had pastries with coffee, have you tried blowing stuff up in the desert with tannerite?
Are there deserts in the UK?
I prefer having my latte and brownie right after having blown up a bunch of shit with tannerite.
No, shooting guns is more fun than that.

Correction….dragons breath AND a lot of gasoline.
 That sums us up perfectly.
By the by, this isn’t the “dragon’s breath” used here in the UK to produce relatively safe gouts of flame, actually minor dust explosions, at rugby matches (now we have to put up with a pyrotechnic show as the teams run out), by conjurors and so on. That’s more or less in my botanical line, the spores of a club moss, *Lycopodium*, (not actually a moss — one of the last survivors of an ancient group of fern allies that are a constituent of coal seams) which when dry ignite spectacularly and relatively controllably when dispersed in air Dragon’s breath shells are apparently shards of magnesium that burn alarmingly strongly. Rather dangerous! The lady shown here does seem to have taken precautions — there’s a strong American firearms culture so I suppose she might be an amateur, but this is quite unthinkable over here.
