Fire Lines | Patagonia Films

Beautiful film conveying the importance of fire ecology. Creative shot with the marine grandfather's photo, with grandson's face reflected.

Did you guys film the intro in Lakes Basin Recreation area outside of Graeagle CA?

Shout out to Mr. Ken Etzel, who had been in this game far longer than most and always seems to float under the radar. You have the touch, my man!

Great film, love the message and community

Great Film. Always look to the Patagonia channel for inspiration and good story telling.

So inspiring!🔥⛏🪓💖🚴🏾🚴🏾🚵🏼‍♀️🌱🌿🌲

I donated to The Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship and will continue to do so.

Quite possibly my favorite mtb/outdoor movie. Bravo. Great job all around. Willie!

Beautiful history, brilliant film!

Bikes trails ancient traditions and HELLA ADS B!

man can't out smart mother nature's millions of years of experience.

The power companies have been providing “timely burns” for many home owners over this past decade and still will provide these burns until the power lines are buried .

Great project, great dad.

Well done! Beautiful 🙏

I lived in Quincy in the 80's and absolutely loved it. This is a fantastic look at how public lands and special interest groups can be a resource for small communities.

Wow what a film. Sweet people.

What a thing! I've got nothing but a standing ovation going on here. For everyone involved. what a thing. Love it!

Alright Les!

yeah MASTICATE and destroy nature in the name of fire. Greenwashing.

Such a well produced video! Bravo! This zone of the sierras cannot be missed. Truly beautiful. Love the inclusion of the tender moments between father and children.

Video says: Logging stopped... Then Burns that should have happened didn't. Then burns hit historic highs. Maybe the current federal policies have failed? Much like many of the policies that impacted Yellowstone in the 20 - 40's. Just because you think it's right and it feels good, doesn't mean it is right. Read Playing God in Yellowstone... If you want humans and nature to exist together. The forest needs management. So many clueless urban lead policies dictating rural lands. This is what you get.

It is an honor to have footage from my work in the Sierras included in this film. Well Done Ken and Gordon and Patagonia

beautiful and interesting!!!

WOW 😳 I came to watch some adventure sports video....and I got a great educational video. I love it. Now I understand the scale of wildfires... it's huge. Trails are part of the solution, or try to.

The people of Plumas County rock!

Knowing all those trees are dead actually hurt me. Thanks for sharing their story. I would love to come visit. And learn more and ride.

This is amazing! I grew up in Susanville and ranch park is where I got attached to mountain biking in the first place. I moved 10 years ago and didn't have an excuse to visit again because the town has been in a decline, but to ride the trails again and so many more is exciting. Thank you!

Much of the discussion around wildfire in this film stands in contrast to what the latest research says with regard to intensity and severity. The latest research says that high intensity fire occurred in the much more frequently in the past then we previously believed. Additionally the so called "overgrowth" in today's forest also happened in the past, it is simply not possible for all burning to be low intensity with so many factors that actually contribute to how a fire behaves. Many species of animals rely on the snag habitat that is created by high intensity burns, its ecologically necessary for the forest, just as much as low intensity burning. If your interested to learn more, look up the book "smokescreen" by chad hansen.

I think we need changes in forestry practices and how we interact with fire, but starting with the most up to date knowledge regarding fire seems prudent.

Do you have an Ultra Marathon? That’ll bring in people

Its so sad how many dying trees is there in the first minutes of the movie...

Exceptional documentary - thanks

Utilizing Hügelkultur when building trails and ski/ snowboard areas could help reduce fire dangers and carbon capture the dead and dying trees into swales & trails that also holds snow and water longer.

Dude,,,,, you should run for president!

WORD!

Patagonia- my comment keeps getting flagged, likely for adding the link. Can you please add the link to the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewarship who maintain these trails? Your reach and community support is well known; will be amazing to have patagonia support the stewardship program with a simple link to donate! Thank you.

Not only great and beautiful story but also educational. About importance of trail builders, forest stewardship, local bike clubs ❤❤❤

So rad.

Awesome as always!

Plant more trees FROM the coast (in safe increments) all the way up to where the fire hazards are the worst. The microclimates will ensure more water can reach the inland with rain. The trees are vital for the rain to reach further up the country. Very important!

What is the trail and lake in the first couple shots? Gorgeous! Nice video and the fact it’s free for us.

Great post my friends. 💛😇

I did the Lost and Found gravel race this year. It was my first time spending time in the area and I was pretty blown away by the beauty and amount of open space. This area has a lot of potential and I'll definitely return. Whether I can convince my partner to move there is a different story.

What a great way to do marketing. Thank you Patagonia. loved it.

what a lovely film

i never skip your movies, i absolutely loved last one

Beautiful video. Thank you.
