  • I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
    I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
    Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards. Thanks for watching.

    You were talking about your decision to start uploading in 4k, and I just wanted to give feedback and say there is a noticeable difference, like being able to see the first flows of water coming through, or the individual bits of stuff floating in the water. The 4k uploads and the extra time it takes is much appreciated

      They try their best to improve the habit. I would like to see what could be if someone manage more were the realesed water goes. maybe this can be also content for future Videos and the build Up and realse could be very valuable for the trees and nature in an area. I really enjoy post videos and think its good work and chill to watch.

    I'm always fascinated by the connections YT makes between videos. I got here from a suggestion off SB Mowing, but I enjoy both channels because I find them relaxing, almost meditative to watch. There's something very satisfying to watch a blockage getting cleared and all that water flowing through.

    I love what you do/unclogging culverts & drains for the environment, but it’s amazing how the beavers 🦫 move such large trees and wedge them together w/mud, etc. Such intriguing animals, how they do what they do to survive & can help in some way as well. Your knowledge has helped me appreciate them & You!

  • @celestewilson5377
    @celestewilson5377 Год назад +1

    After watching a few of these unclog the beaver dam videos, the question occurs to me : Why use corrugated pipe where beaver dams are a problem? The corrugations allow the wood log pieces and mud and debris to "lock onto" the pipe interior. If a smooth bore pipe were used, blockages would slide through. Of course, logs placed across the entrance would still block the water flow, but a smooth bore pipe would make it easier to dismantle and dispose of the dam.

    Really fun watching you clear this culvert today. An additional tool that you might consider is a 3 inch grapple hook on a 30 foot stout rope. you could use such a tool to clear clogs that are hard to reach in larger culverts. Additionally, perhaps you could get a telescopic tree saw that is about 12 feet long extended. You could also make a wood pole out of 2 inch dowl that is in 6 foot sections. I made one of those to clear snow off of my roof and it works well. Keep on having fun on your adventures!!!

    • @robertneblett4477
      @robertneblett4477 Год назад +25

      That’s because beavers are what’s known as a keystone species which means they are essential to the survival of the ecosystem (and the planet). They create wetlands which is the foundation for all other species. Also, if they would reintroduce thousands of beavers back into California they wouldn’t have nearly as many forest fires or mudslides .

      They've been reintroduced to a few controlled sites here in the UK too. Some in SW England and also in Scotland. They were hunted to extinction in the 16 / 1700's, for fur, meat and castoreum (spelling?).
      So far, at one site that was prone to severe flash flooding, the beavers have slowed down the transit of water so helping to prevent flooding.
      They are such fascinating animals.

    My garden cultivator is 55 inches long. I keep the grate at the bottom of a dam on Thorndike Brook, Ragged Mountain Maine.
    After heavy rain, the swamp grass gets on it. The dam is 9 feet high with a 7 foot high spillway in the middle and it is 70 years old.
    They installed an aluminium footbridge that spans the entire dam 3 years ago. But the grate on the upstream side of the base of the dam is heavy iron bars and it is 70 years old also from when the dam was built. The grate is 5 feet high and 4 feet wide with iron bars 6 inches apart up and down.
