The beaver family bought this nice little property back in the days when the times where good and beaver husband and beaver wife had jobs. But because of the financial crisis beaver husband lost the job and they were not able to pay mortgage on time. It didn't take long before the bank sent their thugs to evict the beaver family with their 3 children out into the street and demolish their dream dam.
@otto skorzeny I blame a white, Anglo Saxon Protestant banker with a thin face and little glasses perched high on his nose. And his petty socialite wife.
The enitre swamo is about 1/2 mile long. I had been working all day before that. once I did bust the dam it took me about 15 minutes to mats myself back to the shoreline so I could go home!
When I first got my certification and operators license in '93 I would have never believed how one of these machines can almost become part of you, like a living third arm and hand (or, sometimes, an extra leg and foot!). Nice work. SMOOTH! Thanks for this. I enjoyed watching.
I drive one of these for a living and I can tell you that this guy is good. He operates that beast like it is an extension of his mind, and that is the mark of a good operator.
Man, I went from watching Jim Panke teaching me banjo lessons and Marty Schwartz teaching me stuff on the guitar; and here I am now watching beaver dam busting! How does that happen? Side note, that dude running the Volvo excavator is...GOOD!
Man I gotta comment my papa passed away I grew up on the farm running equipment I was only grandson and he had three daughters. He willed things to me I told em I didn’t care about $ it was sentimental and I loved it got caught up in court they got it all and sold everything I lost my job at CSX railroad after 10years shop was shutdown and now I’m starting over $13/hr to run one cause I have zero connects outside my county or wherever on where to go or get an opportunity so saving every dime I can hopefully buy a small one in a few years work for myself part time but I’m 33 now and starting over after railroad shop bellied up If anyone needs a trustworthy man and reliable and can at least pay 15-17 and a motel room I’ll run one around the clock and got dozer experience just not much opportunity here in sc that I know of. Been trying indeed but don’t hear back from any companies out west ..just thought I’d give it a try on a RUclips comment haha God bless fellas
@@savannaswildnatureworkshop7810 when you have timber going under water , trees 5 feet in diameter dead from them chewing on it , your house floods because they dug a hole in the levy . Lady you have no Idea how destructive they are .
Sadly prob they woulda .. this is bs they doing there job to support a healthy ecosystem. Learn to work with the beaver not pull a dumb human move n need more land to put up a sub division or some shit
Current Batches I make logging equipment for a living lmfao so let’s just keep breeding and building until there nothing left and I can’t sit back n watch everyone fight over a drink of water 😂
Enjoyed watching the skill of this excavator operator,, once the dam was breached, Mom Nature took control and he had to scurry to get the hell out of the way,, he did that quite successfully, good for him and his equipment. Pretty cool
Whoever is operating this excavator, please give the Hoffman Crew on Gold Rush a lesson! I'm so tired of them getting stuck all the time! Please? Pretty?
The part that impresses me here the most is the use of the heavy planks to keep the excavator afloat! I would have been afraid that one slip and my excavator would vanish forever into the bottomless goop!
You really know how to work that excavator. A couple times it look like you were close to getting it stuck. You have incredible spatial perception, hand-eye coordination and touch receptors. I couldn't see those boards, much less remember where you placed them. I don't think I would have risked losing that equipment.
That was awesome! You can really operate that machine. Hoping to get into my local training school in October good to be able to see someone run that thing and show how to use it right. Not being scared but safe seems to be key!
You were good back then no doubt, but the more mature Chris is smoother and more calculated in risk his risk taking. I thought you were going to slide into the abyss a couple times there. Nicely done!
So the video starts out and I'm thinking; Man, he seems to float up above that pretty good, I'd thought he'd sink! Seems to me it would be pretty soft." Then I see the lumber. This guy knows how it's done!
Don't know if you are interested in making a trip to southern Illinois but we just had the Dakota access Pipeline go through here and they left behind Stacks and stacks of Cull mats and they are free for the taking! They have some wear but there are lots of them!
😆 my first thought was “How long until the beavers have that opening closed back up?” Extremely impressive equipment operator though. At a couple points the machine started sliding sideways on those swamp mats - no panic, just rotate to compensate, adjust the mats and carry on.
Amazing the preparations you had to make to be able to pull on that solid dam wall! We have a dam like that in the ravine at the side of the hill we live on. Huge.
Still one of my for me most important favs i love to see the water goes and drain the land!!!!! You could hire to swamp loggers LOL Take care Alexander
Man- I think you have been born allready with two joysticks in your head ! Really good operating ! By the way can you tell me how expensive those excavator matrazes are ? Thanks
Always enjoy your personality and work. A couple of questions, would you be kind enough to describe the great video set up (camera etc) is and what you would recommend to construct several wooden pads that I am sure have changed in design over the years. Thanks in advance for your generosity..Regards, Tom D.
The excavator looked like a living thing the way the operator ran it. Pretty impressive.
Dasdfjkl i was thinking the same with precision movements
Yeah, if only he knew his ass from a hole in the ground.
not if it's your home. These guys are losers who have forgotten.."do no Harm"
so busy making money, they have forgotten who they are and why they are on this earth.

It didn't take long before the bank sent their thugs to evict the beaver family with their 3 children out into the street and demolish their dream dam.
Then the beaver family told the bank to keep their damn dam.
Them black beavers couldn't even afford the loan but because obama mandated that banks give them loans anyway, the real estate bubble burst.
Well said. And so true.
.
Not to mention that the beavers liked their doctor and thought they could keep him.. Beavers were wrong! Furry little Dummies!

Wow guess it really helps when you know what you're doing. Was very impressed with the planks nice job

Thanks for this. I enjoyed watching.
Buddy, you damn sure know how to run that equipment. Very impressed.
The real treat of this video was watching you pilot that thing. You are a smooth operator. Your machine at work looked like a living creature.
Seeing this and knowing were you’ve made it is so amazing.
I’m really happy for you and I’m very excited to see the business grow even further.
Watching the skilled operation of the excavator in this is really impressive.
Pretty comfy at the controls !

@EskiLdn yes I was 21 one this was filmed over 2 years ago. I've been running equipment my entire life and I'd say been on a excavator since I was 12
...and here we are, ELEVEN years later! Still enjoying the videos. 👍👍

@@rcb1717 Good post n Good luck !!!! Mate Wishing well from the UK
@@timwilkinson2797 back atcha boss man and I Preciate bud!
What a good operator! now that's how it should be done. Thank you for putting the video up.
a little C-4 would have made short work of the damn dam. that operator is pretty good at working the machine.
My Father in Law blew up a 150' beaver dam with dynamite!
ammonium nitrate and diesel fuel ,or any explosive is so much more fun
a lot of c-4 on your home would be really fun to watch.

the beaver will have that fixed by morning
nah beavers were killed first

Now thats a man who knows how to operate his machinery ❣️
is this excavator operator very skilled, or maybe i just dont know anything about excavator work?
Really good operators make it look easy...but it really isn't. This guy is very skilled.
I think it’s a bit of both. But mostly, this guy is awesome.
Very impressive. Was bored and came across the pond video and ended up watching several😀
I enjoy watching excavators to their thing.
But even more so I enjoy watching someone who really knows what they are doing.
I always miss the before and after video. would like to see what it looks like the next day 👍
i have to say, this guy is a fairly good operator. in and out in 6 to 7 minutes. nice work
235 beavers did not like this video apparently!
Enjoyed watching the skill of this excavator operator,, once the dam was breached, Mom Nature took control and he had to scurry to get the hell out of the way,, he did that quite successfully, good for him and his equipment. Pretty cool
Nice work! That dude treats that excavator as if it was a third arm...
Whoever is operating this excavator, please give the Hoffman Crew on Gold Rush a lesson! I'm so tired of them getting stuck all the time! Please? Pretty?
Lol...yeah Todd and his crew, never a day without major catastrophe!
Pontus Rydin it's all in the drama in Gold Rush. I still hate it though.they need to learn how to operate an excavator!
gone fishin it’s almost like they get more views when they mess up
@@brertt8350 Now you get it, these reality guys screw up on purpose to get people to watch. They disgust me and I will not watch such nonsense.
They are actually a construction crew out of Salem Oregon they operate heavy machinery all the time once I found that out I quit watching the show
Pretty smooth with that machine dude. The people who operate these things are like magicians to me.
Beavers - the engineering geniuses of nature.
Love the vintage videos just as much as the new stuff
What a delicate touch with this big machine! I'm very impressed, it was fascinating watching this. Bravo.
The part that impresses me here the most is the use of the heavy planks to keep the excavator afloat! I would have been afraid that one slip and my excavator would vanish forever into the bottomless goop!
cool video , I love watching a skilled operator on an Excavator. Id love the chance to operate one some day
man chris you mentioned beaver dam in todays video, so i searched in your name i got a lot of new videos to watch...
Just having a coffee ☕️ and did the same 😮🏴
Watching this in 2021 is very different to when this was videoed. Quite exciting to watch.
i have seen alot of people operate but this guy is skilled good job thinking ahead..
This guy is BEAST!!!! I've never seen an excavator in action.
Ive allways liked doing beaver damns by hand, theres alot of fun in it
The beaver dam was no big deal but the way this guy operated his machine and got in and out was impressive.
That fellar there can run a Excavator, can't he? Damn!
awesome operator and humble too. he didn't even show his face on camera.good luck and stay safe.
You really know how to work that excavator. A couple times it look like you were close to getting it stuck. You have incredible spatial perception, hand-eye coordination and touch receptors. I couldn't see those boards, much less remember where you placed them. I don't think I would have risked losing that equipment.
great skill and imagination.... (I'm a landscape contractor) hats off to you....
holy shit. This guy is like a master controlling those metal platforms.
this was the first video i saw of yours Chris, this is what got me to subscribe to your channel. you know what you doing with that trackhoe.
not what I expected from the subject title. A beaver dam and the subsequent deluge was much more exciting in my mind ;-)
This is the first video of yours that I saw. Been watching ever sense
Off to one side, a beaver is watching this and declaring, "Of course you realize, this means war."
hahaha
Andrej Panjkov Good one bugs.
Andrej Panjkov - A pair of beavers will fix that little hole in one week. They better put a cap in some beaver’s butts!
Takes nerves of steel to do this. WOW!!!
Impressive operator. Good job.
That was awesome! You can really operate that machine. Hoping to get into my local training school in October good to be able to see someone run that thing and show how to use it right. Not being scared but safe seems to be key!
Dam good operator he knows what he’s doing.
Man has some mad skills behind that excavator.
My man has absolutely bossed it !
Wow! Smooth operator! Sad thing is, the beavers probably repaired the dam that night. They are becoming a nuisance around here to.
WoW looks like the excavator is part of your body. nice skills!
You were good back then no doubt, but the more mature Chris is smoother and more calculated in risk his risk taking. I thought you were going to slide into the abyss a couple times there. Nicely done!
no beavers were harmed during the filming of this motion picture........smooth operator too nice
Damn right that’s how you do it, impressive the way you handled that machinery!!
So the video starts out and I'm thinking; Man, he seems to float up above that pretty good, I'd thought he'd sink! Seems to me it would be pretty soft." Then I see the lumber. This guy knows how it's done!
dude that thing is like an extension of your arm. you make the machine look like its alive.
You are pretty good with that excavator.
man those little buggers are pretty damn good structural engineers. that damn dam was built pretty damn good.
Fantastic use of that machine! WOW!
Don't know if you are interested in making a trip to southern Illinois but we just had the Dakota access Pipeline go through here and they left behind Stacks and stacks of Cull mats and they are free for the taking! They have some wear but there are lots of them!
Our company uses Menzi Mucks for busting dams. Great job and I love the power thumb. I wish we had one.
You made short work outta that, damn beavers will have that partially dammed up again tomorrow! lol.
😆 my first thought was “How long until the beavers have that opening closed back up?”
Extremely impressive equipment operator though. At a couple points the machine started sliding sideways on those swamp mats - no panic, just rotate to compensate, adjust the mats and carry on.
you gotta know what your doing!
That driver sure can manipulate that excavator!!!
With such a narrow gap in the dam, wont the beaver just fill it back in?
FrJcsc That gap is bigger then it looks in the video. The machine he is using is huge.
+FrJcsc
and if they are smart, they trapped all those stupid bastards before doing this
Great operator skill show here. Thanks for the video.
Amazing the preparations you had to make to be able to pull on that solid dam wall! We have a dam like that in the ravine at the side of the hill we live on. Huge.
That is how you do it. Nice job!!!
No its not...
Good operator you earned your money here
Holy crap, that is a lot of water. I'd be pretty worried about getting out of there.
I enjoy watching a good operator run equipment good job man
I love watching this guy work. handles that excavator like brain surgeon uses a laser scalpel.
super.... excellent job....
very quickly to escape......
Exactly what I was thinking. Cheaper too.
But this is impressive.
That big boy toy looks fun👍
Bring your road with you. Good video Thank you.
you know, beavers are the second most influential creatures to the enviroment... and this video proved why humans are number 1 lol
Man, these beavers are real smart.
They even use sawn lumber.
you've got the job done in less than 7 minutes !
your a braver man than me gungadin, nice video
Still one of my for me most important favs
i love to see the water goes and drain the land!!!!!
You could hire to swamp loggers LOL
Take care
Alexander
It's a great jobb! Congratulation!
DUDE! you really know how to use your equiptment! wd, the driving skill was better than the dam destriction lol
Man-
I think you have been born allready with two joysticks in your head !
Really good operating !
By the way can you tell me how expensive
those excavator matrazes are ?
Thanks
+1 For you operating skills. Damn you will be making $65+ an hr when you get to like 25. Keep it up sir.
I love the Volvo excavators. Kamatsu is all that comes close in my opinion.
Obviously not your first rodeo. Well done. I need a basement dug out in Missouri, what ya doing this weekend? Beer's on me.
great handeling that hyd thumb really comes in handy for job's like that
that was a fantastic bit of driving well done you

And we revisit the beavers in 2021. Lol. Soooo many excavators ago.
i have to say them beavers are pretty dam good at what they do !
That is an operator. Smooth.
Like a pro! Nice work.
Hey Chris, you were a lot more aggressive then. You have much more finesse now. Good work outta you.
Good job.
