Alright, so me and one of my friends, Matt, get tired of skating and we decide to head up to these woods behind my house and just mess around. I happen to have a lighter so we start a small little fire for kicks.

So we stand there for a little while and notice its starting to spread and smoke a lot. Its cool so we just keep watching...

We get sick of the smoke blowing in our faces so we decide to leave and skate some more. Meanwhile this fire is still burning. Later, we come back and find...well...this....

apple, you honestly have no idea what you are talking about. take another look at the second picture. look in the middle of the fire. what do you see? THE EXACT SAME VEGATATION that you say proves me wrong. shit thats alive and moist won't burn with a small fire like that.

don't you guys know that grass grows at least a foot high in a couple of hours after the ground has been completely burnt by a forest fire? Gee, you knit?

^ you may be right, in which case ill eat these words, but im inclined to call you a retard who knows nothing about grass. l liiiikkke grass. but how would that happen? a foot of grass from nothing? it takes time for all the chemical reaction etc... to happen. so im going to be premature and call you a moron.

asac post that panorama. this is a retarted thing to be argueing about, but i want to see whose right now..

alright retards, i've got the panaroma of the general field. as you can CLEARLY SEE, the fence is still there. the wind was blowing hard that day which explains why the fire spread so far. and wet grass explains why the paths are still green.

asac, i dont see any of the tall vegatation in the middle of the fire. Also, do you know how the fire jumped the paths?

Dbstar, I didnt spend 6 hours looking at the pictures like a loser with no life. Here was my thought process. Wow, what a stupid thing to do. Huh, whats with that black ground? why isnt everythig burnt? And then i decided in that 30 seconds that Asac wasnt so wreckless and tried to defend his stupidity to my self, on his behalf.

Ben... i dont even know what i have to say to you...

i don't even care that you think i'm lying. i just fucking hate how you think you're right. its called camera angles you stupid fuck, which is why you can see the vegatation from before because i'm standing in a different spot. fucking dumbass.

seems alot of people dont know much about a grass fire. while they burn and spread quite fast, burning grass does not generate enough heat to burn things like sticks, trees and healthy brush and grass. now this is talking short, dry grass just like that seen in the pictures, if it was long weeds and brush then thats a whole nother story.

I don't know about this one, certainly possible, because the dry grass burns, and sticks won't. But either way you make up for it for parking your van in the lake. I laughed so much reading that story

Apple honestly...stop trying to sound smart bro. Clearly you have never seen a grass fire before, they arent hot enough to burn trees and huge logs. And wind blows those things like crazy. Honestly apple you lost now shut up.

if a picture is worth a 1,00 words, and theres 3 pictures, then that's 3,000 words. Apple just proved that thing fake using like under 200 words.

It's called wind you dumb shit. Fire can be carried by the wind and jump those paths. Look at a much larger case such as the Yellowstone fires. With strong enough wind, the fire jumped a fucking canyon.

For the people who don't believe him, why the hell would he spend so much time taking photo's and stuff If he made it up. I mean, do you honestly think he would pretend to do this to be "cool". You guys are just ignorant and arent even trying to believe him. Asac is a person who wouldn't just make something like this up.

I love how he was still saying he didn't believe it after the 2nd picture... what are you saying, that they were 2 different fires? He posted this, got called on it, and went and burned down a field so that you'd stop calling him a liar? Hahahaha.

A LESSON FROM A HARDCORE SMOKER: if your really hardcore you can just smoke out of your hands. make a loose fist but keep your fingers together and pack the entire empty space in the middle with herb. then open up your pinky finger enough so that the herb doesnt fall out but you can light it. then just breath in from the top hole and ull get mad respect -eastar5

hmm i see no fence...who the fuck cares

a) if this is some elaborat fake, ...wow...is all i can say

b) if its true, congrats you won the argue ment, but you are the reason we have huge forest fire etc... . if you lived near me i could come and beat you with a large club. BUt you feel like a dumbass so i guess thats ok.

we had massive first in BC last summer (i think it was last..maybe the one before) that had towns evacuated. old growth forest burned down etc...hhabitat destroyed, im not sure of the details but THINK BEFORE YOU WALK AWAY FROM A FIRE

I think I may have to side with apple on this one. If you can explain to me (maybe you already did and I missed it) why in the second picture there is a small fire burning (presumably the slightly larger version of the first fire) with a large area of already burned ground in the foreground of the picture, Ill believe you.

And JD May, I expected better out of you. The panoramic picture proves nothing, except maybe apples point. Heres my theory: asac and a friend see the large area of burned ground, decide to take credit for it. Why else would they be taking pictures of the fire in the first place? "Well, we started this fire, good thing I have my camera with me. Well, lets get back to skating, I assume everything here will be wrapped up nicely once were gone"

In fact, if you look at the panoramic shot, you can even see where they started their smaller fire to take credit for the whole deal. Look at the farthest right edge of the burned area in the panoramic shot, and youll find a small burned area with trees matching those in the background of the second shot.

i totally beleive it. a couple years back a few of my friends and i were fuckin around just like that, lithging random patches of dry brush on fire. about 15 mins into it the wind decided to pick up really fast.


when the fire department showed up the entire feild was onfire and scorched and about 25 yards from a development of houses and i ended up with all my leg hairs gone and second degree burns on parts of my legs from trying to put it out. mean while my 2 friends that started the thing ran away and started flipping out and crying to their parents. i took the blame for both of them (havent talked to them since) and had to go to this farmer guys house and apologize. the guy turned out to be pretty happy about it cuz he said it would make his crops grow alot better

full quote:

" alright let me clear up the second pic. its about 20-30 minutes after the start of the whole thing.


alright, now see how there's a path in between the 2 black areas, thats called grass. now have you ever wondered what makes smoke blow away? thats called wind. the wind pushed the fire to left, then pushed it towards the fence, then to the right, hence the black area in front of the burning area."
