I am reminded of this every time I receive jars of his honey, olives, and olive oil, or fresh fruit from his orchard, or a delivery of madrone firewood for heating my home. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen I first heard about Theo's heroic efforts during the Soberanes fire of 2016, I felt simultaneously in awe at the struggles he had to endure, yet unsurprised to find out he was well-prepared. His fire-resistant infrastructure, massive rainwater storage system, years of firefighting experience, and nurturing connections to the land and his neighbors were all in anticipation of such an event. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's not a question of 'if' the wildfire arrives, it's a question of 'when.' This book demonstrates that the foresight of knowing the inevitability of wildfire is essential for one's survival in the forests of Big Sur and beyond. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- From the Foreword by Lee Klinger\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Theo Maehr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46337291026668,"sku":"9798218407766","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9798218407766.jpg?v=1743702583","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/fire-on-the-mountain-living-with-wildfire-in-the-santa-lucia-mountains-of-big-sur","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
