Ode To Desolation
Jim Henterly, a naturalist, illustrator and fire lookout, contemplates the dying days of Fire Lookouts in North America, questioning how to keep our human interpretation of the natural world alive.
well, that was depressing.
Cool. I always think of Desolation Wilderness in CA when I hear that name, it's a big wilderness area off of Highway 50 near South Lake Tahoe.short film on lookout at desolation peak

Yeah I shouldnt have watched that before going to bed.
Pretty good documentary though.
A must see.
watched it last night. it's a brutal reminder of how privileged we are. and what can be accomplished if you put your head to it. I want to watch it with my boys.

the national parks documentaries put me to sleep....
Perfect for pesqueeb, informative AND sleep inducing. I haven't seen that one yet, but I liked the Civil War, West and Vietnam ones quite a bit.
Started watching the HBO documentary on Action Park. I went there a couple times every summer when I was a kid. Brings back so many memories. I think going to that place, and surviving it honestly gave me solid life skills I have used as an adult.
I remember my first time there was with my dad. As we stood in line we would watch people get injured or close to it in various ways, my dad would identify the potential hazards, give me advice on how to avoid them then just give me a push.

I will need to find a way to watch this. The previous journey's they did together were great, I think it was Long Way Round and Long Way Down...
6th, yeah, the previous seasons were on Youtube for a while and just got pulled off.
Pardon the reek if this is a dogfood fart of a repost, but the F1 series Drive to Survive on Netflix is excellent. 2 seasons covering the, uh, last 2 seasons.

Looking forward to Drive to Survive covering this year. Will be interesting to watch the implosion of Ferrari from the inside.
I'd have rewatched if I'd have known. I'll hunt to see if I can find them as S might like them. Same for Drive to Survive as we don't have Netflix.

is as close to using social media as I creep.
I may not have much of a life, but I mean, at least it's real.

Quite literally
Binged through S1 and S2 since last weekend, shame there likely won't be an S3 from this year
I recently watched 4 of the 5 Backroads USA episodes on Amazon Prime... and was moderately entertained. Bonus fun fact, the filmmaker Katja Esson got her start as a production assistant for 2 Live Crew.
Confirmed and added to my Netflix list.
I've been eyeballing these as well. They're good you say? I think available on either Prime or Netflix.
Operation Odessa was both every bit as insane as I thought it would be, and somehow not even a little bit nuts. Worth watching for sure.
Probably been talked about, but "The Last Dance" gets a solid 2 out of 5 stars from me. It was pretty interesting, but all the jumping around made it hard to follow, maybe not an issue if you were an MJ fan at the time, but made my head spin.

Haven't seen Long Way Up, but I've seen the other two. Mildly entertaining, but not mind blowing. 7/10, probably wouldn't watch twice.
I got most of the way back through watching Long Way Round I think a couple left still. Haven't re-watched Long Way Down or seen any of Long Way Up. They're entertaining. My memory from watching long way round originally was that they didn't show enough Canada or Murica...
Over the top music and drama typical of History Channel content. Still, good subject and interesting stories.
