FAQs/Why would they do that?! Answers
We are so glad you are here! Welcome to our channel!
1. We are in Oklahoma near the Arkansas border.
2. We do this on a volunteer basis.
3. Kim aka Mom is retired. Jennifer owns her own business as a massage therapist.
4. We film multiple locations in one day since we can’t go out all the time given Jen’s full time job. You may not see all the locations we filmed that day in one video.
5. You may see other people in our videos at times including Granny aka Sue (mom’s mom), Jeff (Kim’s husband and Jennifer’s dad), or Jessica (Jennifer’s little sister) and Lucy (our beautiful, amazing, wonderful dog).
6. Many wonder why we put stuff down culverts. A few reasons: it provides help for wildlife, we like to and it would have gone downstream anyway. If it blocks another culvert then we will take care of that too but most of the locations we visit are in incredibly rural areas where there won’t be another culvert for miles.
7. We care about wildlife and never want to cause harm to them. The only reason we will clear a beaver damn is if it is threatening land or roads that can not be accessed any other way. It may not be the road directly within sight but a farm road close by.
8. We appreciate advice in the comments. We understand that we will receive constructive criticism in the comments. What we won’t allow is the calling of names, derogatory terms, or just plain calling us stupid or idiots. We are all adults here and the internet is already a largely negative place as it is, let’s not add to it. We are people doing our best to help our neighborhood and planet by picking up trash and clearing culverts. Why do we deserve hate for that?
9. You may not agree with or like the way we did something but that doesn’t mean we did it wrong. There is a right/wrong way to dismantle a bomb. Clearing culverts is up for interpretation to the one doing the work.
10. We hope that you enjoy our videos and will keep coming back for more! Any other questions you have feel free to ask in the comments.
a new bridge we haven't shown yet. we have cleaned this one multiple times before. hoping to go back and get more done later. we hope to keep putting out these videos and hoping you are liking them!
you ladies have earned my deepest respect. nice job. stay safe.
I’m really enjoying your videos.
Wow !
Awesome job !
I just noticed in this video …
This awesome women are not wearing thick protective gear and gloves , as men wear while doing this type of job .
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Women rule !!!!
Good job ladies! Don’t apologize for anything! Ignore the trolls. You are out there clearing more culverts than they are! Arm chair quarterbacks need to keep it to themselves.
Bravo Zulu ladies, This so9mething you don't see every day ladies doing this kind of work
You did well upped the capacity alot pipe eight flowing fast at start ,almost dry at end better flow in the others.
You could try a cordless reciprocating saw with wood blades. May not take care of giant logs but would buzz through the smaller stuff in no time. Plus, they are amazing when you need to blow off a little steam. Nothing calms me down more than watching these videos or using power tools!
Wow... !!! My best friend, Wonderful upload! Keep it up! +thumb up3!
I was hoping you’d turn that stuck piece upside so it wouldn’t get stuck, also, if you had a tripod, you could work together at moving the heavier pieces. I wish I was there with you messing about❣️☺️☺️☺️
Thanks for the comment. We do have a tripod in our newest videos. also, in one of our videos coming out soon you will see what has happened to those logs. ;)
Agree with you,both working together make it an easier ,clearing up
I just found your channel, good work 👏
I'm in Alabama and enjoy your videos very much.. I used to do that but now I'm too old. Keep up the great work!
Love watching your video's....
One of your video's popped up on my main page and thought I would give your channel a chance!
I ended up just loving the video's that you post.
Hope that you have had a Great Holiday season.
And keep up the great job that you are doing.
Welcome aboard!
Great job under the circumstances. 👍👍😊
GREAT JOB, Ladies.👍👍
well done lady,s....awesome job done...greet from holland
you both did an amazing job that was not an easy job and you both sounded exhausted well done loving your videos
Very good job, girls!!! 'post 10' would be very proud of you!!!!!!!!!
Oh my I think this is some kind of a record. We need to call Guinness. Good work!
Ladies! Love your channel and watch it daily. Here is a thought. On those low water bridges when the water is so high and washing over the concrete bridge itself? When the water is low take some pink or orange spray paint and draw an arrow right on the road showing where the culverts are. That way when you go back during high water you'll be able to see the arrow!
Looks tough, thouse waterlogged logs / branches are heavy and a pain to pull out. Great work ladies, this will bring your fitness levels up.
I actually weight lift and have a very physical job so we are pretty strong. It just goes to show how heavy those logs really are 😉
@@culvertsandmore Yes, plus the way you have to handle those logs / branches.. not a normal way to handle, hold, drag. Foot placement in wellies too, it's very difficult. Please be careful ladies.
Well done ladies remember your electric saw next trip and make your life easier on some of them branches and it would be nice to you both wearing thigh waders instead of you filling your wellingtons every time
Just found your post. Glad to see you ladies take on that kind of work. Age prevents me from joining you in your endeavors, 81, so I'll just watch you two. Great work. Where are you located?
thanks for the watch! we are in the southern part of the USA
You could use one of those hand held, battery operated chain saws. 4” blade.
There is a lot of different versions of tools that you could use to help you while you are doing all of this work. There are small hand-held chain saws that have slot of safety features that are built into them.
Also, there is attachments that you can get for the camera. There are stands, tri-pods. You also attach them to your chest or to your head. That way its there recording while the both of you do everything that you do!
yes greet job lady's
Well, that was indeed a booger! There would be a whole lot more cussing if I had to face the same challenges, which is probably why I am better off unobserved! Great job! ❤💯
Thank you for all your lovely comments!!
Great job girls 🏆💪🏆
I’m a new fan of ya , I’m from Down Under, and we don’t have these issues where I live, great job 👏 ladies ❤
This was not an easy job. Impressive set of culverts.
When hard working people pay their taxes and the people getting those taxes aren't working at all good hearted citizens have to step in.
You guys are doing a great job...
Ladies that was a very big job but done well as always
Dish washing gloves would help against splinters and a regulasr old hand saw or clippers would also be a big help. NO ELECTRICITY NEAR WATER
yes we bought dish washing gloves today and I didn't mean to say electric. I meant to say battery powered. thanks for the comment!
totally enjoyed watching the video lladies another job well done 😊
Wow Ladies
Somehow I believe women have a determination that no man will ever know.
I don’t know you girls …
But I,m very , very proud of you !
Anything men can do …
You can do better !
Congratulations girls !🎉
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you girls and your families !
Thank you for sharing. It’s like a good game of Tetris.
I saw a guy clearing a beaver dam and used a camper folding saw to cut branches. He cut six inch branches with ease. The saw is around $15.
Thanks for that info! We will look into it.
Hi ladies hope you are both well love from England. Trying to play catch up on your videos
Strong ladies. Awesome video of your work. Pretty big trunks you moved. Watch your backs. Using chainsaw is great💕💞💖💪👍
Yes I tell her to squat not bend over to pick things up. I’m well versed on how to keep from getting a muscle injury. Thanks for the watch!!
Yeah, woman power! First x I’ve seen a female…
Love to watch these ladies. Just wondering why don't they wear higher boots?
I love this 2 girl 💚💙💛🤍❤️💙🤍❤️💙💚❤️💙🤍❤️
Great job ladies. Anore the couch potatoes that would strain their pinky trying to lift the smallest branch
Do you have some men folk around to do the heavy lifting? If I lived there I'd come and help you and recruit my son. Great job, my friends! Post10 would be proud!👍🏼😊🌻
one of the men in our family watched our video and actually volunteered to come out with a chainsaw and take care of it for us so that video should be coming soon! thanks for the offer of help!
Menfolk? What I like about your videos is the fact you are both women! (As Tina Turner sang, “sisters are doing it for themselves!”)
P.S. please wear gloves… there could be any amount of hazardous trash/chemical runoff/splinters.
Or they could try and reach out to local Scouts of America or Girl Scouts of America for possible help as well they are always looking for service hours...as an adult leader for the Scouts of America I would definitely say this would count towards service hours...
Yeah, I was wishing I could help, too!
If you were in Pennsylvania or New Jersey I would help out a couple weekends. Saw some nice logs to make things out of. Plus I love being around water. Except for the snakes.
Great job. I’m wondering if the ribbed culverts don’t allow the logs to go through as easily as the smooth ones?
probably not as well but those logs were so heavy we didn't have much of a choice. thanks for the comment!
Great job ladies you have my respect post10 would be proud of you God bless and stay safe out there
Sauber 1A 🥰 🥰 🥰
I have seen a number of these culvert cleaning videos and Nobody can put rake down and use their hands.Rakes are for leaves not branches and logs.Please give it a try. Jim's wood shop.
pa would say that little bit coming out of the pipe is ok
Well done ladies! As a deaf person, I wish there were subtitles, I'd love to know what you are saying
Sorry ma’am. Our later videos do have subtitles but RUclips messed with the earlier ones. We have improved that since this video.
You might want to find another friend or relative to be your camera person. So, that way the both of you could works on clearing everything and not have to worry about the camera!
If you watch our newest videos we have already invested in a tripod.
Good job ladies , get a petrol chainsaw so you can cut down the larger branches to make them more manageable
No need to apologize for road noise. Simply because culverts are there where roads are and where there are roads there are cars and where there are cars there is road noise.
Big a small saw to help u ...maybe both could clear the tree branches then record the rest
That would make a nice firewood for the fire pit
Bow saw?
Just found your channel, you ladies rock! Please wear gloves. Greetings from Tennessee. Where are you?
Hello! We have gloves on for our newest video. Greetings to Tennessee. We don’t want to give our exact location but we will say we are in the southern part of USA.
I know i am late to the party, i just subbed and I hope that you girls get some revenue starting up so that you can fund a small chainsaw and make work like this a bit more manageable but, you girls go! We needed some girlpower in this "brance" 😉 😎👊👌
Bonjour. Vous devriez porter des gants pour votre sécurité. Bonne journée.
If y'all going to be doing this a lot, you need to invest into one of those little electric chain saws.they aren't very expensive.lesscthan $100. Bucks
We did buy one and we have used it a few times already
here you should use wood cutter
You need to bring your grandson with you so he can help you all move that log you need to get them logs up in the woods as best as possible so the next floodwater won't bring it back down to the pipe
no grandsons in the family actually :) it won't affect anything down river because this is the last culvert before it joins the big river.
u both beautifull lady and ur work beautufull u clean all dam u work nice but better
Ladies I’m afraid yourselves with be hurt with that heavy lifting
Use the chopped up logs / branches as firewood, see if members of the community need some wood?
A potato rake could be a better tool to do this type of job. Otherwise great job.
i'am coming...
Yay
Wish you would carried handsaw to cut and remove those heavy logs in shape of trees
Just a thought why don't you put those big logs on the side in the woods not in the culverts their too heavy for the water to push through Otherwise you're doing a great job.
We didn’t do that because the logs were incredibly heavy and the banks/woods are very high.
That should be better
Mom
Young girls , do you conw to swim ?
I wouldn’t be doing that without gloves
we have already purchased gloves for future videos. thanks!
Ich verstehe nicht warum immer alles in das Rohr rein getan wird?? Das ist doppelte Arbeit, weil auf der anderen Seite alles wieder verstopft.
It ends up in the main river not another culvert.
@@culvertsandmore Kann ich leider nicht lesen, da ich kein Englisch kann. Schade 😒
Google translate
when you your electric saw bring gloves too
We are using a chainsaw in other videos coming up
that forked log should have been flipped over then it would have gone thru easier as the bend would be on the bottom
You ladies need a chainsaw for some of those trees and tree limbs. They're too big to move yourselves and they might not make it through the culvert. Some of those small electric chainsaws might be all you need.
We have used a chainsaw a few times since we filmed this video. Thanks for the advice!
Maybe look into getting a battery powered chainsaw.
we have a battery powered hand saw that we take with us normally. also, one of the men in our family is going to take a gas powered chainsaw to some of these big trees later. thanks for the comment!
I don't understand something, why does 1 always have to film and 1 work, put that camera on a tripod, and work together, then you can grab the larger pieces that you can't lift alone.
We have a tripod. This is one of the first videos we put out before we had one. I say at the beginning of the video that we were waiting on our tripod to be delivered. Most of our new videos has both of us working as long as it isn’t a on the move or quick culvert.
@@culvertsandmore It will be fine, the videos are fun to watch, keep it up, thanks for the quick response, greetings from the Netherlands.
I don’t understand why you shove the branches down the pipes, they will just bunch up together somewhere else down stream and cause a flooding problem, to be taken care again. Just doing the cleanup over again, again .😊
there is no where else to put them on this creek. The banks are too high. The logs are too heavy to lift into the woods and this is the last bridge before the main River meaning there are no other culverts for it to get stuck on. When we can put logs to the side we do but there is no point on this particular one.
it is actually necessary and wise to leave some of the branches in the stream. Aquatic little insects and creatures live in the top layer of wet branches and logs and long story short the more there is wood in the stream the more there will be food for the fish.
You have obviously never seen POST10... check him out, he explains all that @ NJ mileur
Why are you sending those large logs through the culverts? All they will do is go down stream and block the next culverts. All you need to do is drag them up on the land.😊
We have already answered this question but I’ll update you. They are too heavy, the banks are too high, the next rain will put them right back up against the culvert and lastly, there are no more culverts before the River for them to get stuck in.
Oh bitte nein keine Holzstämme in die Pipe, höchstens wenn sehr viel Wssser fließt. 👋 from Germany I love you ladies. Stay safe !
Other videos of these culverts will show you why we don’t have a choice at this particular bridge. Thanks for the comment!
Get yourselves a tripod. Will make things much easier and give you better video quality
Already in the works! Thanks for the advice!
Lol
Don't know why you're putting leaves and logs in the culvert there's not enough water to flush them out.
We explained in the video why we did that. 1. We are getting rain here now so it will flush eventually 2. They are incredibly heavy and waterlogged so we can only move them so far. We got them lined up enough to go through with the next rain. We aren’t superhuman. There’s only so much we can do. 3. The bank on this creek floods constantly so putting leaves and logs to the side is a very temporary fix that we would have to handle later. Thanks for the view!
Gloves please ladies.
We already have some in our new videos.
North Carolina cares
If you're being aware of the beavers and not destroying their homes needlessly, POST 10 WOULD BE PROUD!!!!...
no beavers present at any of the culverts we clear. thanks for the comment!
I thought that you were cleaning the culver's but, what you doing is pushing all that debris down. Don't know how that's going to be clean
And yet just a couple videos later and it is clear and clean.
@@culvertsandmore Yes, this end is clear, but downstream there are bigger blockages in smaller areas.
You have to get the sticks and logs out of the water. Otherwise, all you're doing is moving the whole mess down the river.
@@michellekunes2861 ma’am, not trying to sound rude, but we have already addressed this numerous times in the comments. The banks of this creek are too high for us to lift heavy logs, this is the last set of culverts before it joins the river therefore there is nothing left to get stuck on, the creek floods massively high here therefore making branches on the banks useless and lastly, a couple videos later you see that the branches have cleared the culverts. We understand this isn’t how everyone would do it but given that we are the ones doing it this is how we will accomplish it. Have a good day.
