So a few things factor in. First off, old growth forests are more fire resistant than new forests. The lumber industry treats forests like a crop, they harvest it all, and wait for it to grow back. Look at a satellite map to see the patches of forest.

A prescribed burn, is about turning the dead twigs and brush into ash and charcoal, that feeds the forest floor.

I can answer more questions, I took care of a couple forested properties, focusing on low impact practices.

I have a fold up solar panel and power station so I can play games on my modular entertainment system all day.

Eventually I’d like an upgrade of a self charging vehicle like the concept of aptera, although not sure when it will be available.

I have used wood stoves most of my life. If done properly, it’s a sustainable and closed loop method for heating. Occasionally there’s a push against the “unhealthy pollution” of wood stoves, with natural gas selling itself as the clean solution… So there’s that.

A geothermal or large solar system may offer clean/green heating, otherwise wood heat is one of the better natural sustainable ways to provide heat.
