Went out an collected some wood and rocks!!! You should do the same if you can. Saves a lot of money! And it was such nice weather as well. Had a great day out-and-about at 11,000 ft! Thanks for watching! A NEW 60P scape is coming!

Going by online prices...that's about 1.5 million dollars worth of dead wood. Collect it all and retire.

You're so lucky to be able to collect this beautiful wood. I just spent a lot of money for mine.

yeesssss, that looks like my backyard, manzanita everywhere! glad to see you back again

Welcome home Dave and thanks for sharing your trip to the beautiful mountains. Can't wait for the 60p!

GOLD for Aquascapers!

That's it! You've convinced me that as a Californian I am without excuse. Time to go collect some Manzanita wood! Thanks for the video, Dave.

Damnit Dave! I was just looking on manzanita driftwood web to buy and the pieces I liked sold b4 i could purchase! Your a lucky man. Cant wait for the 60p!! Bout to do a new scape myself similar to your idea! GREAT TO SEE YOU BACK BRO. YOU R THE GOAT OF AQUASCAPING VIDS ON KZfaq!

Please come back. I miss listening to your videos while I'm on my commute to work and learning new things to help me in my aquascaping hobby.

Hi you so much btw, this is actually the video that kicked up my lazy butt to start my soon business from home. I was thinking about shipping manzanita from central Oregon in the high desert, wen to the forest service place and bought a permit, started collecting manzanita to sell online.

Love that video ! Cant wait to see the scape . Its a lot harder to find good scape wood here in UK .. maybe the beaches but we dont have sun bleached stuff like manzi 🙄

Thank you for another great video Dave.I have been looking for one of these, but hard to find, i'm in Ma.

Lovely looking part of the world you're from Dave! Those rocks look great, love all the different lichen growing all over it, be great to do something with that above the water level

What an amazing find! Gotta be thousands of dollars Worth of manzanita wood. Not to mention the beautiful scenery, very jealous in Texas lol. New subscriber

I love collecting hard scape ,thanks

This lake looks just like some places up in the Uintas in Utah, just pass Kamas lol. I went solo backpacking there and it looks very similar!

Good video 👌🏼👍. Thanks 🙏🏼

Very lovely place

Lucky man!

First time to your channel and a subscriber after I saw the opening video shots. I'll explain; the water dripping over the limestone, I said to myself that looks familiar, sure looks like the trail to Mount Timpanogos. Then the shot of the lake with the mountains in background, got to be Uintah Mountains. The vids of the dead fall manzanita had to be the highway area just south of Flaming Gorge reservoir. I then read through some of the comments and confirmed that it was indeed Utah. I think I was routed to your channel from DIY channel or maybe Green Machine. Anyway good job. Have thought about setting up a planted aquarium but seems so overwhelming with water changing, dosing, lighting, sumps and refugiums . (advanced old age here) However with all the availability of on line resource purchases I have been leaning towards doing one. Need a video on how to convert our hard alkaline water into soft acidic, or at least neutral water.

Wow I am so jealous......I don't know where you are but it is absolutely beautiful!!!!

Nice video Where did you get that background? Is it vinyl?

Me: Hmmm I wonder if we have ponderosa pine here in Montana Google: Ponderosa Pine is the state tree of Montana Me: *breathes heavily*

great video dave and try some dark skeleton king its my new fav buce cheers

I really didn't know all that expensive wood was Manzanita. We have that stuff everywhere here in Southwest Oregon. Matter of fact it's even within walking distance of my house. Of course here in Oregon we are also a Rock hounding paradise. We are rock hounds so basically all I need to do is go outside and check in the Rock gardens. I can't wait to do this because I will actually be setting up my first tank after 30 years of not having one.

Where is the other channel Dave !...wish u could come back with your great informative videos once again. Wish you good luck in whatever you're upto.

Wow , very very very beautiful place

Dave, if you have any big projects coming soon I'd love to send some manzanita your way asa a sampler.

Very beautiful place you live dude. #America

Hi Dave. I'm new to Aquascaping. You mentioned using limestone in an aquascape. Is there a way to keep my fish safe from the limestone leaching ? Thank you

What part of Utah did you collect these?

hello, ADU, i want to know weather the oxigen peroxide could kill the moss. because I have a planted tank of moss and anubias , but i got some algaes. so could u help me. thanks

Hey I was wondering how dry that manzanita is? I recently got some and sprayed it etc and it has been soaking for a bit now and anytime I move the branches in the water they let off tons of little pieces and kinda haze the water. Not really wanting that once it goes in the tank as my water is crystal clear, do you think the wood I got is just to old and dried out or does yours do something similar? Thanks in advance

Where is this!? I'm in so cal

Hello Dave! Nice video. Sawtooth is Proserpinaca Palustris right ( AKA as Mermaid weed )?

Should I start shipping manzanita?

I live in northern New Mexico and I was wondering if dead sagebrush would be ok in my aquarium...there are some of the the coolest wood pieces I have ever seen and would look so sweet in my nano tank. Any thoughts would be very appreciated. I have access to the best black lava rock too here, it is all along the Rio Grande River...every size you could image, some wore down really smooth right at the river's edge. My idea for gravel is using ant piles here on the mesa where all the sage is...they make these piles of the perfect size gravel (1-3mm) any where from 1-3 feet tall.

i almost spent money on wood for my aquarium then i saw manzanita prices im like wtf that grows everywhere where i live lol

Where did you go to find the Manzanita wood?

I hope you're still watching comments. I too live in an area where manzanita is common. Is it safe to leave the mahogany-colored bark on the branches? Its gorgeous when wet, but I don't know if it breaks down once immersed in the aquascape.

too bad i cant find dried out wood in Illinois its always rotting or releases tons of tanins

Have you ever had your manzanita wood excrete a white/greyish gooey substance? I've had almost every piece do this at one point or another. Do you know what it is?

Are you at independence pass in Colorado? In this video

👍🏻

Very lucky, here in New Mexico we don't have Manzanita wood.

beautiful area out there man.

Miles and miles of manzanita out here in California..

Awesome, thank you Dave but what part of California is that? I live in Las Vegas and California is relatively near. After watching your video I'm in the quest of manzanita lol.

I love NA style as well thats d best style to scape.....peace out brother ...u r the best ....

Collecting stuff from outside is great. I never have to buy dwarf hairgrass.

how can I color like you? please tell me

Hey guys check out my latest video on my first planted aquarium! Iv had no prior experience aquascaping or with live plants, so let me know what you think!

I love in florida I'm not sure if that stuff grows here

Awesome video, i live in sweden i went out to get some stones for my aquariums and after 2 hours i came back with a fucking brick.. think it was used for a bridge or something along time ago, perfectly squared and heavy as hell.. there is even a river close to me but it dont have any nice rocks in it :/ Anyway if you do this again please bring the camera :)

do you sell manzanita?

I love u

I don't think we have Manzanita here in Australia. How can you tell what kinds of wood are safe?

Just off the side of the freeway, huh? Here i am trecking through bigfoot country.

Would you sell and ship to Hawaii? Do you have a website?

also you need a forest permit to collect any forest products from the forest, i went and got one to collect dead manzanita :)

Now I want to go to California.

I have 40 acres full of Manzanita. Please tell me how I can sell it you guys! Lol

Did you find any snakes there?

This stuff is all over south AZ between 4000-6000 ft.

I just find rocks that look good and use them. Unless you are using limestone or something with pyrite, I wouldn't worry about any rocks changing water parameters. Muriatic acid is just a waste of time.

Some native plants are protected by California law. Important California laws for native plant protection are the California Endangered Species Act (CESA), the Native Plant Protection Act (NPPA), the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Natural Community Conservation Planning Act (NCCPA), the California Desert Native Plants Act (CDNPA), and California Penal Code Section 384a.

It's mostly lime rock oak trees or palm trees and flat lol

Where you at man?

I do the same with manzanita and stone. The only way to go. My name is Alexander and if you have a moment I was hoping you could please take a look at my channel, im trying to build bridges with fellows aquatic KZfaqrs. We both are talking about aquatic subjects and any advice or feedback on growing my channel or improving my channel to attract more subscribers is much appreciated. Especially with the KZfaq monetization changes, ive got the minutes but Need the subscribers, and feedback is welcomed. Thanks and have a great day!

I think this plant does not exist in Brazil unfortunately…

just want to remind people to only take the dead branches. and you dont want to get busted collecting this stuff. same with the rocks.

Be careful to not be collecting it in National Forest area yo can be required to get a permit and you can't collect it in State Parks you can get a ticket.

Definitely none of that rock

For the record, it is illegal to pick or have in your possession any form of manzanita in CA. It is a threatened and endangered species. "Killing or possessing manzanita trees is illegal under the California Endangered Species Act. It is unlawful to harvest anything but the fruit of a manzanita tree without a permit, and owning any other part of a manzanita tree is also against the law."

U talk to much
