'chainsaws are dangerous', dude, everything is dangerous. there are car crashes everyday yet you drive one. opening and making dams to collapse is dangerous too. you just have to be mindful of what you do. but I respect your choice. if you don't want using something then don't.
@@elemar5reciprocating saws, yeah, way less efficient but still way faster than cutting branches by hand. there's also light battery chainsaws. they have safe stop on them, which is if you use em right minimizes chances to cut yourself.
and good ol' saws are cool too. i'd probably get a smaller lighter one with a thinner/smaller blade, they cut branches better because have less friction against wood. look up garden saws.
Pay no attention to the negativity from people who have never done what you are doing. I think you do a wonderful thing, and you know what you are doing!
I understand your caution in using a chainsaw. My brother was using a chainsaw alone in the woods when the chainsaw bucked and cut his leg. He nearly died before help arrived. Always do what feels safe to you and don't worry about what others might think. Thank you for the video.
of all the dambusting I have seen on you tube, yours is more than breeching a dam, its deconstructing with minimal effort and maximum result. thanks for the lesson and intertainement
Yes you are wise. Being alone you have to always think safety first. In case of emergency. How long will it take for help to come to you. Will they be able to find you. How long will it take to get to the hospital. You are also wise in checking with the landowners to make sure not to cause water floods and flash floods down stream. Keep up the excellent work. You are doing a fine job taking care of the land and nature.
Accidents happen when you feel safe. Always consider the dangers of a job before you start it, mitigate as many dangers as you can before you start (tools, procedures, etc.) and be mindful of the dangers at all times. When I'm on a construction site, a small portion of my mind is constantly evaluating my environment and living 1 or more seconds in the future.
They do now make a small rechargeable battery operated chainsaw. The blade looks like it’s about 8-12 inches long and it’s just for lightweight use but it will handle a tree 3 or 4 inches in diameter. While still a chainsaw, it appears to be much safer to use and much easier to handle.
You do you Mantis. I always enjoy opening up beaver dams when I was young, not so many beaver around anymore. You keep doing exactly what you are doing if it makes you happy and makes great videos.
Kenislovas, Your thinking on the chain saw is exactly right. I put chain saws in the same category as table saws, motorcycles, automobile racing, and private airplanes. If a person is not totally comfortable with these activities they should not participate. You make great points, particularly the observation that a muddy beaver dam in a water channel is a terrible place to learn and practice. Learning should be in a controlled safe place. Your hand saw does the job and is easy to carry. If you ever do want to upgrade your saw, look at: 1. A bow saw with a timber blade, or 2. A Silky (Japanese) or Bahco (Sweden) folding camping / pruning saw. By the way, love the outro music !
I am very happy you have thought through the dangers and have made, not the easy decision, but the smart one (about the chain saw)! When I saw you with your little girl, my first thought was, 'I hope he's being careful! He's got a lot to live for!'
I think a lot of us like watching the dams collapsing on its own more or less. The old way was a lot of fun to watch also but the new way is great because we are trying to figure out at what point is the dam going to let loose. Thanks for the videos.
Good Morning Beaver 🦫 Dam Master.👍 keep doing what, you do best , its seems to me that your methods work just fine . Another impressive Dam removal 🫶 . Enjoy the. Rest of your day/evening with you're family .
Love your videos. Do it how you want to. Don't hang on the negative feedback. You are doing fine. I enjoy your relaxed way of taking down dams. Keep up the great work
Hey Papa !! How is the family ?? Well, you've got to give these little critters credit. That dam was well stocked with lots of sticks and mud, those beavers spent a lot of time collecting debris to build with, yes?? That one was well thought out, so the beavers are quite smart builders. Industrious for sure.
These beavers are tremendous architects when it comes to building these dams. They don't appear to leak and are able to hold back enormous amounts of water. Too bad we couldn't employ them instead of many people I know.
they do leak at times. Beavers always maintain their dams. They have really great hearing to hear the water running. And they have a drive to plug the leak.
Another great video. Your thoughts on the chain saw are very true. Working alone far from any help show's great respect for yourself and family. Good work.
I love watching you work and enjoy you telling us all about why you do these dams. It can be dangerous but is so interesting to see how they collapse and the difference it makes to the properties you help.
Chainsaws, excavators and explosives can always be used in dam destructions but it takes an artist to take one down with just a shovel and a rake. It’s why we watch you.
Your always find some serious dam’s and your way of dismantling them is always interesting to watch.great video, great job continue doing what makes you you.kudos 😎😎😎👍👍👍
A good suggestion I wonder though with a general hand saw being so much cheaper and the fact he is working around water a lot if that comes into the thinking
You are definitely making it interesting. You are also doing it in a way that makes some of your work easier in the end. Don't let the negative people affect the awesome job you are doing.
Unacceptable risk= chainsaw use when you are alone and far from your vehicle. Acceptable risk= undermining a beaver dam and knowing when to jump out of the way before it tumbles a LOT of water straight into you. Ha. I find the clearing out of the bottom so the dam topples over in a gush to be very interesting. Your channel is unique in your method. Thanks for translating meters to feet for this American gal. I do appreciate that.
It's always surprising to see how much taller the dams are when the perspective changes from the video of just the damn to the view of you standing next to it. Great job!
I enjoy your content and the way you go about it seems very safe and effective. Thank you for the videos. Watching all the way from Salt Lake City Utah, USA
You do a great job doing the dam collapse system instead of just picking it apart. The collapse when it works takes a lot of the mud with it, making your job a lot easier. Might try one of the battery small electric hand saws and use cut proof gloves. Most of your trees are small anyway. Hug the Pixie Roberta.
I think you are doing all you can and have the tools you need, a winch and hook may help if the car is close but if you are able and willing to put in the work you will benefit forever from your efforts.
I appreciate you keeping the process simple and interesting. I watched 1 video of a dam being blown up and the video could have been 5 minutes. Not my thing.
Your videos are always relaxing and varied. I am so glad you are safety conscious in already dangerous situations. Very cold water, which is rushing and also very heavy and full of logs, branches etc. You are sensible and aware of your safety at all times. As to using a chain saw, just because you can - doesn't mean you should! As you said, out in the middle of countryside, on your own, well away from any help. Any accident could become deadly! So keep doing what you do so well, in whatever way keeps your motivation. We will keep watching and wishing you well.
Mantos I have worried that you do these on your own! even Post 10 has a back up person! maybe you need to persuade your wife to come with you! Btw I personally love the way you try to make them collapse not like the boring ones that just take off the top bit! excellent!
My thoughts are you do what you do very well. Forget about those trolls who are incapable of doing anything in real life themselves. They always have to discourage others because they are too lazy to do something themselves and only want to put others down. You do amazing work and keep doing what you love.
never worry about negative comments ..Those people have probably never pulled a stick from a dam. If they dont like your work why are they watching .Keep up the awesome job you do
@@Kenislovas We do have Tannerite is available though. But I can understand how your method is more rewarding than using an excavator. Plus the danger adds excitement as well. Stay safe, I’ll look for your next video.
Greetings from the USA. Love the channel. You were talking about chainsaws at the beginning. I would recommend one of the small electric powered ones they have available now. It would be great for those small trees and bushes and the danger factor would be minimal. Cheers!!
Ask them to show the smarter way. I like this because it is ecological friendly and the sound is soothing. No tractors, No explosives, and definately no boring content. Most are probably Americans too that are asking. 😂
Another great video.. thanks. I realise you are on a tight budget, but a cheap large tooth garden bow saw is much more affective on small trees and bushes than a carpenters hand saw.. Stay safe..
you mentioned the guy with the chainsaw in the beginning. Where I live everybody just uses kevlar pants. The cheaper ones (that work just as well as the more expensive ones) start at about 70-80 euros here. Recommend you get one!

What about one of those one handed battery saws?

@@elemar5still got to be mindful at all times and keep the blade and where its going away from your body parts
and good ol' saws are cool too. i'd probably get a smaller lighter one with a thinner/smaller blade, they cut branches better because have less friction against wood. look up garden saws.
After watching so many of K's videos, I wouldn't think to question his method's. He seems to do a pretty good job with his own methods of dam removal.
Exactly what I was thinking! 🙂
100%
Some would say, a dam good job.
I'll see myself out.
The plural of method is methods.😉
It's all opinions. I know plenty of people that cut them out with saws and don't/haven't had any issues.
Pay no attention to the negativity from people who have never done what you are doing. I think you do a wonderful thing, and you know what you are doing!
Exactly I agree 👍
I love watching you chip away at the bottom to facilitate a complete collapse!! Great videos and always stay safe as possible.
Your dam deconstructions are the most interesting on you tube!
except the ones that use tannerite ;)
But, his are a close second
This is dangerous work. Glad you are safety-minded! Good job! 👏👍🥰
I like the jenga puzzle of it all. Keep doing it as you are. It's very relaxing watching it

Thanks for converting to Fahrenheit from Celsius for us heathens! Glad to see you are well!
Please ignore those that have no clue what you do & just post negativity. You are a master of your trade and do not owe anyone online an explanation

Thanks again for yet another INTERESTING video of a collapse !!
the sight and sound of running water is so peaceful

Right before the dam collapses, I find myself saying Timber! Good video as always 👍🏻
Water assisted erosion art form well done it’s good to watch.
Great job! Very interesting. 15 to 20 minutes is perfect video time. You are the best!
Thank you very much!

Black and decker makes a great battery operated pruning saw that is very safe.
Excellent safety information, well done!
Keep It Interesting so you will keep doing it! Your videos bring a peace and calmness to my brain that I cannot articulate. Keep it up my friend!
Thank you!
Tremendous effort Ken. Excellent results.
Love your videos. Do it how you want to. Don't hang on the negative feedback. You are doing fine. I enjoy your relaxed way of taking down dams. Keep up the great work
Your dam collapse channel is the only one I watch. Stay safe always. I enjoy the hard work you do, no loud machines.
❤❤

Hi!
All is good! Depends how many beavers was there :)
It's much more fun to watch when you try for a collapse! Keep it up and be careful
Great job, well done, you must feel so satisfied after you've released so much water to prevent flooding in other areas .
sir you do you and thank you. I enjoy your fine work. Beavers are quite accomplished engineers.
Thank you very much!
No beavers in Ireland, but it's great to watch you at work helping the farmers and their lands 🇮🇪
Thank you very much!
I had a feeling those trees were going to inhibit the release of the dam. Good try, though! Hope you & your family are well. 🤗

watching at 4pm AEST & 39C = 102F.all that matters is the job gets done, you find it interesting & enjoable
Would love to see a collaboration between Kenislovas and Post 10.. That would be epic.
Maybe maybe :)
Sorry I missed your video I have been really sick with pneumonia. Good job stay safe. Greetings from the USA

Great video. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
Thank you very much!
Great job Kenislovas I enjoy your videos very much.
Thank you very much!
That's a lot of water!
I love the idea of letting the water do so much of the work!
Your always find some serious dam’s and your way of dismantling them is always interesting to watch.great video, great job continue doing what makes you you.kudos 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Chainsaw.😱 If you want to use a saw get a bow saw. You are doing just fine.
A bow saw is an excellent suggestion for outdoor applications; no need for a carpentry tool.
A good suggestion I wonder though with a general hand saw being so much cheaper and the fact he is working around water a lot if that comes into the thinking

Smart choice!!
Great video. Thank you.
Anyone telling you to use a chainsaw for that job probably never really used one. Great video, looking forward to seeing more.
You are being smart by letting the water do the work. It weighs 1 kg per liter (8 pounds per gallon). Making them collapse saves you a lot of work.
The beavers really build strong dams!
Yup.
Very nicely done again.
It's always surprising to see how much taller the dams are when the perspective changes from the video of just the damn to the view of you standing next to it.
Great job!
Yeah :)
You are right to be careful. Great video
Thank you!
Don't listen to the keyboard "experts". You do it in whatever way makes you happiest. And we'll enjoy watching you do that. Stay safe.

Good job brother and I was wondering if you had ever dug out the front side of the dam first and then dig out the back side?
Keep up the good work. In my opinion you are getting much better at camera placements. Showing more overall of the area you are working in.
Your right better safe then sorry but maybe get a swed saw have a great day and cheers on the great job you do for the farmers of your town
