Exploding Bamboo!!

[pantheraba]

NOW it shows as public. Lots more burning and banging than the short video. Sure was a long process for a dinky video!

That’s a hell of a popcorn popper !

 

[pantheraba]

Catchy tune, eh?

 

[Merle Nelson]

Very cool.

 

[frans]

thats great!
Now I know how to quickly get the county sheriffs to pay me a visit! I can imagine the 911 call from one of our 'oh so politically correct' neighbor's: help there is a gun fight! Around here they would freak out!

Now I just have to get a job clearing bamboo, bring it back to the yard and burn it. Oh boy this will be fun

Bamboo in a burn pile is a hoot....just don't be too close of it will throw embers on you!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Just a bump so ya'll can see I moved those post here.

 

[pantheraba]

hahahha...Huh??? OK...go move my last post to here, too. I thought I was going crazy. I replied to a Frans post that then disappeared. I am not gonna try to untangle it. (in the Do throwlines wear out?)

 

[MasterBlaster]

Do it yourself - just copy it here.

Did you have a burn permit, or does somebody have to pay for calling the fire department on a false alarm? I know people have to pay when a false building alarm calls them over, and they are not called off before getting there.

 

[pantheraba]

Had a burn permit.

The post in the other thread is now missing completely. Too much trouble to recreate...went to get it and nada/zip/zilch.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm still a rookie sorcerer!

 

[pantheraba]

No worries....I might get busy and do some recreation anyway!

 

[Jonny]

Wow!
Had no idea it did that. Very cool!

Did my burn in middle Tennessee. Boys there use diesel for lighter fluid. Of course, it was on county land and not during a burn ban season. Sure sounded like the 4th of July, but it was definitely firmly in the wet fall time.

 

[MasterBlaster]

No cops show up?

 

[Stumpshot]

Nope, not a one. Might have been the start of deer season too, so gunfire wasn't unexpected. But it was on 40 acres, so plenty of land for target practice, or whatever. Outside city limits, so just sheriffs stretched thin for patrols. Probably too busy with meth lab busts to care.
