I have always felt that planting trees was a boringly peaceful affair, so introducing TREE ROCKETS! Patreon: www.patreon.com/user?u=13180179 Twitter: / ididathing1 Discord: / discord Animal footage: / @dicklockdicklock
Imagine if there were natural, biodegradable containers that plants used to spread their offspring. Like some sort of small hull that contains nutrients and sprouts on its own. Almost like an egg, but for plants! It could be called a "seed" or something. Then humans wouldn't have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars designing new ones.
@@drunkchey9739 Even if most of the seeds die, and I really doubt they would because both small seeds and open pinecones have a relatively low terminal velocity, I'm pretty sure any seed would be better off than a baby tree impacting at 200mph. Worse case scenario, you could attach "parachutes", there would be practically no chance of them hitting too hard and it would still be significantly cheaper than creating these death cones
Fairly certain several plants do that already. Dispersion by air is extremely common EDIT: But the thing getting dispersed is pollen, not seeds. This is because pollen is required for sexual reproduction which brings variation in plants EDIT: I didn't know it was sarcastic
I enjoyed your video. I saw one similar years ago, where the humans were dropping saplings encased in ice rockets. The ice had fertilizer mixed in to give the sapling a boost. They had excellent penetration when dropped from a helicopter into the side of a burned out mountain.
they've done this in real life for decades in the US, dropping millions of little fir trees from the sky. Yes it works, its cheap, do it after the first rains when ground is soft using bio degradable cones, they fall like darts, not very fast cause they are light and the seedling causes lots of drag. Would work super well in the amazon if you had a hundred mixed species to create proper forest.
niagara spiders are no joke. They inject poison in their bite which gives a literal deadly erection. It fucks with your blood flow. Some dude got bit, and it made them have a literal killer boner. I bet it was a serious hog of a jeans camper.
so billionaires ain’t doing anything about the monkeys setting afire the amazon, but some youtuber named i did a thing is attempting to save it from the monkeys? edit: shit they’re distracting the government from the area 51 raid to help us

Not very irrational because its literally the most dangerous spider to us. If you fear any spider i feel like you should fear viagra spider and it would be the most rational fear.
Those trees were a good will gesture from US, it was just that there happened to be a mix up between biodegradable tree pots and nuclear bombs amongst the crewman. Classic misinterpretation.
@@gabrielko2147 Exploding a nuke in the stratosphere might actually revert humanity to the stone/iron age, if not almost completely wipe it out. So it's a win for Lorax and the trees.
No you take bonemeal and sett up a redstone contraption (not gonna go in depth because I dont wanna write 5 paragraphs) and you plant 4 jungle trees next to eachother a day big brain I know
If the container is water soluble and there is enough potting soil in the shell then it doesn't need to dig into the ground, the plant will grow its roots into the ground and phototropism means that they will always grow upwards towards the sky. As long as they can grow out of the shell in time it doesn't matter how they land
I think you would need some kind of wildlife warning system or harmless repelant in order to move them out of the area before dropping tree bombs, but deforestation is a serious problem. Tree bombs do seem kinda crazy stupid but they might just work in the right areas (where loggers have completely killed every tree in the area).
I know I’m 2 years late, but I have an idea. Instead of a cone shaped rocket, use a paper clay cannonball, and then Plant a seed instead of a sapling inside the cannonball, and blast it down toward a forest.
Frogs Please wow it’s almost like seeds are damaged by gravity and can’t grow efficiently in fire scarred environments and don’t have a high probability of actually planting when dropped from a plane
@@MercyWoz Burned environments are healthier for plants. No one is fighting for resources and added, the fire adds a large amount of carbon into the soil.
@@MercyWoz Fire scarred environments are prime areas for seeds to grow. Forest fires are a natural phenomena that have been going on long before humans started causing them. Not saying dropping millions of seeds out of a plane is a solution (it's not at all), just that it is factually inaccurate to say seeds can't grow in the aftermath of a forest fire.
You see, this is the stuff that we need more of on youtube, the absolute mad-ladness of an aussie mixed with the freedom of an american weapons manufacturer. Could not ask for more
You could've put fletching on the end of the missiles to be more accurate and would be more balanced in the so the chance that it lands sideways is smaller.
Either add groove to the bottom of them or ad angled fins at the end to make them spin the spin stabilizes it and makes it go straight and it will also make the missle pen deeper into the soil

It is a bad idea, because it doesn't take the rainforest nutrient cycle into account. In a rainforest all the nutrients are in the biomass, not in the ground, because the rains have washed out the grounds for thousands of years. You remove the biomass, you're left with barren ground. You can seed bomb all you want, but these seeds won't grow because all the nutrients are gone. You'd need to regularly fertilize them, which kind of defies the point of seed bombs. That's why it is so fucking difficult to replant a rainforest.
So fun thing I happen to know because I worked as a tree planter in ~a hippie-industrial complex commune is that these things already exist, and tree planters hate them because "tuk er jerbs" etc. They have tons of little arrowlike capsules exactly like the video, and slam right into the ground, both replanting all the trees (that are missing because they were logged into oblivion) and banishing all hippies from the area.
i understand the point, cuz there's already tree's in the area... but you know in the "barren burnt areas" it isnt just the trees/bugs/animals that are affected. the soil is technically a part of the living ecosystem and it as well gets all burnt, crispy, and temporarily fucked up.
I'm so happy you brought up the paper clay Grandma, she's so weird and rambles I love her, I ship her and gourmet paper mache, he's also weird and good at paper mache ♥️♥️♥️
