Viewers are very bewildered as to why you do not use a full sized shovel instead of straining with this little shovel? It does not makes sense. Please reply
That looks like it could be a problem area that gets plugged up often. I think the best solution would be to get the excavator in to remove the entire central island at that convergence to allow both channels of water to freely flow and to make it a lot more difficult for a dam to be built on that point 👍
Wow! What an amazing dam! This was more than dam busting. You drained a small lake. And you were very smart to only open up one portion of the dam. You could have overloaded the canals if you had used an excavator and released it all at once.
My thinking also. Open up the second side so that the level drops faster. And the first side would meet the second and cut down on the cutting that the water will do into the bank downstream.
He don't want to open all them both sides out all at once old really flug the town if it's you want you want to do it slowly like he's trying to do so you don't flood the drain at the other end that's what he's trying not to do he's trying not to overload the ditch that's why he's doing it the way he is so it doesn't flood everybody
These are not natural streams, they are man made drainage canals to swiftly drain water from the low lying fields. Otherwise the fields get swamped and are unable to produce any agricultural crops. Then all you'll be hugging is a scrawny skeletal body that has no food to eat.
It looks like the dam was very wide at bottom. A dirt dam usually wash out but the twigs and grass in it seemed to keep it together even in the current. Thanks for sharing
To solve the problem of the beavers rebuilding the dam, do this. After the water is mostly gone, place sold length of plastic corrugated pipe about twenty feet above the dam with the bottom end at least thirty feet below the dam. The beaver will try to rebuild the dam in the same place but the water will continue to flow out of the basin. Soon there will be a beaver meadow.
Oh, it makes me so happy to see the top of the dam collapse like that! You made my day! Widening that channel was a good idea as that is what is making the current so fast. It is like a nozzle on a hose. I would have also considered opening up the other side of the dam just to get some more water flowing. That said, you did a great job on this one. That really is a lot of water there! This one would be interesting to come back to the next day to see how much it has drained or if the beavers have done anything.
Ditto! Just about to post the same thing here. The only thing I'd add would be cutting the tree in the middle down(it's holding the dam together) & tearing out more of the back of the dam
Yay! you saved the fields. Glad you didn't try to stand in that rushing water. Thought for sure you were going open the other side but one side worked well. Is that drone footage before and after? Doesn't matter, great view
Please get a waist strap for your waders, if you fell, you’d drown before you could get them off. It doesn’t take long at all to drown, faster than you can imagine.
@@she9896 well, he was not so wise when he had all his organs still attached to his body, also that old man said "try to learn on other people's mistakes, not your own".
Now that's a cleanup, adding more width to this canall should make it more difficult for the chubby rodents to block over night. Mine you they do hold back water that does seep into the ground which helps nature even while it harms the farmlands. Another fun video to watch, thank you.
Personally would have worked on second spot make it flow better from both . Less likely the beaver will return . My stepfather was a trapper. I removed a few dams. Been a minute. Enjoy the content
Looks like the left channels feeding the dam has lots of spurs of mud and trees which are probably slowing the current flow down quite a bit. Plus the 2 reservoirs visible feeding the right channel are probably a whole lot to drain even before the fields are considered.
Just outta' curiousity do you do these clearings on public or private land and do you consider the possible consequences of letting that much water go flying downstream? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a dam burst as much as the next person, I just hope that no one gets hurt that has the misfortune to be close to the river downstream while you unclog!
I suppose you have no issue with drought or your water table. People are reintroducing beavers to make dams and hold more water in the ground for better farming. Looks like you just let it flow away. Hope you have enough this summer.
Beavers could rebuild the little you did there in one or two nights. They should be cleared right out but check with locals first. Some are allowed to let be for wildlife. Some even cause ponds to establish. Try finding out who owns the flooded side of the dam before taking any self action.
There is a product out called a garden weasel it has multiple tongs on it and a handle to be able to turn...it may be useful to look into...your shovel is great but the way this works could possibly help a bit better...
@@DJDEB21 I wish I knew how to post pictures to give an example...it has I believe 4 or 5 prongs and you can jam it into the ground and twist...and loosen the ground up...
@@shawnbarczak1766 I had one when they first came out years ago, MANY years ago lol I am with you on the picture thing. I wish we could post photos as well.
I loved seeing you cut a big chunk off of the dam and then watching the current carry it away. The beavers who built that dam had a LOT of water backed up. I would love to know what country you are in. I just found your channel and I'm now a new subscriber from Nashville Tennessee USA.

The beaver will have dam rebuilt stronger and bigger than it was when you opened it up!!

That dam is dozens of cubic meters: an enormous amount of work. Your clever, efficient approach is always a pleasure to watch.
Thanks!
Lol those cranes honking at 29:58 scared the stuffing out of me listening on my headphones 😂🤣😆
:D actually I was shocked too :D

Wow great job! Thank you for your download of your video. Blessings to you and yours
Always a great pleasure to watch this beaver Dam removal. A great part of it is the sound of the running water which is so pleasing thank you!
You are welcome!
Always a joy to watch you work and lower the water levels. Take care Mantas. 😊💫
Nicely done. That shovel comes in handy.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✅✅✅✅✅
I wish you all the best with your videos. Please be careful and stay safe.
Thanks!
Thank You David!
Thank you for your hard work & enjoyable videos! ✌🏼🫶 from Florida
Thank you very much❤️❤️❤️
There sure is a lot of water laying in the fields. Hopefully it will drain so the farmers can get the seeding done. Good job.
That is a huge amount of water to release ,it's very soothing watching these huge water releases knowing the power the rushing water has
Be careful always, that water is powerful. What a release!
I have no idea how long it takes you to pull one of these dams but it is easy to see you go stick by stick until it falls... very fun to watch..
awesome seeing the different water colours from the air
Wow! What an amazing dam! This was more than dam busting. You drained a small lake. And you were very smart to only open up one portion of the dam. You could have overloaded the canals if you had used an excavator and released it all at once.
Beautiful place I love how that farm is built that structure is amazing god Bless you always 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good job, but with that much water, why don't you open both sides of the dam?
It would take 3 days. :)
@@Kenislovas just out of curiosity why would it take three days?
My thinking also. Open up the second side so that the level drops faster. And the first side would meet the second and cut down on the cutting that the water will do into the bank downstream.
I would have opened up the other side instead of this side so the water would flow fast for longer because the turn slows it way down

That was a great drone flight as well as dam break!!!
Aloha 🌺 Wow! The water was so powerful! Good job! 🥰🌺
That one was a gusher for sure. Great job brother. Keep doing your thing. Love the drone footage. Keep up the good fight against the mighty 🦫
You have to clear downstream because you are creating new dams for the beavers to start anew
There’s no any dams downstream.
You make it look easy
Great drone footage! Beautiful country.

....LOOKIN' GOOD, GREAT JOB, KEEP SAFE
I think that was one of the coolest dam openings you've done! 👍
It's so cool when a dam breaks down like this
Great view of your removal of the dam.
Great beaver dam opening. Very satisfying to watch!
I like how you used the side current to the main stream. Still a very large amount of water and a very strong flow out to the canal.
Another fantastic dismantling today. Extremely great water flow. Enjoy your weekend and see you on the next. Cheers Mantas!

Great job Mantas! Water flow was a hazard on this one. But of course you still defeated it!!👍
Look forward to seeing you in your next video! 👍🙏❤️🇺🇲
I was also going to ask the same question, but Louis did it earlier than me.
Do you know how long it took me to build that?? Signed : The Beavers 🤭😁
Fantastic work as always ❤❤😊
Is there water accumulation thru out the year ,or if there is a dry period the muck cud be cleared easily then if there s a possibility like that.
Well done and relaxing 👍🏽👍🏽
Very nice work I love it we’re is this place looks very relaxing thank you for sharing that video God Bless you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are welcome!
I have watched this twice😊 Love your dedication to helping your community ❤
Yay! you saved the fields. Glad you didn't try to stand in that rushing water. Thought for sure you were going open the other side but one side worked well. Is that drone footage before and after? Doesn't matter, great view
Yes it's before and after 1 hour.

A lot of hard work. Does the wind ever not blow in Lithuania?
Yes :) just now wind quite strong..

Great. Video lad love from Liverpool uk 🇬🇧
You should get ahold of Post10 so he can get the rakes you have. They seem of much better quality
This rake is made by me :) You cannot buy the same one :)
Definitely will need to keep on top of that so the beavers don't dam it up again
A heck of a flow of water.
Nice shovel work! It was very satisfying to watch you widen the channel! 👏
You are welcome!
The Boss 👍😎😎😎
Seen you do this one before - you could chose which side to open - its a big dam. Love your vids!! That was a good one - a big rush of water - wow!!
Now that's a cleanup, adding more width to this canall should make it more difficult for the chubby rodents to block over night. Mine you they do hold back water that does seep into the ground which helps nature even while it harms the farmlands. Another fun video to watch, thank you.
Greetings and Salutations from Temple, Texas, USA.
Tremendous work ethic Mantas. Keep up the good work , here's to you reaching 100 consecutive videos!
I had to stop in 33 video unfortunately.. Weather conditions was really bad..
Thank you! Great job!
Very nice to listen and watch the water rushing down stream
Thank you for your hard work
Good luck reaching 100 videos in a row 🦘❤️❤️❤️
Enjoyed watching the video
You are welcome!
Thanks for sharing, love to watch. I never knew there was beavers outside the USA.
A lot of!
Biggest beaver dam in the world is located in Canada
Well done. Huge dam huge release.
Personally would have worked on second spot make it flow better from both .
Less likely the beaver will return .
My stepfather was a trapper.
I removed a few dams. Been a minute. Enjoy the content
11:55 Unfortunately current is speed of the water but it actually lowers the volume. It’s a trade off. More volume means less current.
Easy fix for the beaver.
How many beaver dams have you removed since winter came?
~50 I guess
I love the drone footage! What are the channel banks made of? It looks like hay?
Dead grass, reed :)
Looks like the left channels feeding the dam has lots of spurs of mud and trees which are probably slowing the current flow down quite a bit.
Plus the 2 reservoirs visible feeding the right channel are probably a whole lot to drain even before the fields are considered.
Right.
For some reason I don't think of beavers in the middle of a field. Is this common?
This is common :)
Професіонально !!! Дякую.
Once you had water flowing on right side you should had made a cut on left side to bring water down then move between them pulling them down
I’m curious, beavers don’t usually leave without a fight. Did they try to keep rebuilding?
😆100%
Just outta' curiousity do you do these clearings on public or private land and do you consider the possible consequences of letting that much water go flying downstream? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a dam burst as much as the next person, I just hope that no one gets hurt that has the misfortune to be close to the river downstream while you unclog!
Midwest American country boy deal with this every year this year I left them alone because of drought
That excavator or backhoe would have been really handy, How you doing on that?
Fundraise is going slowly:) but still it’s my next step:)
I suppose you have no issue with drought or your water table. People are reintroducing beavers to make dams and hold more water in the ground for better farming. Looks like you just let it flow away. Hope you have enough this summer.
Sepertinya anda tidak menyelesaikan masalah (problem solvent)tetapi hanya memindahkan masalah (change problem).
Mantas, I always try to open a second, or third hole to speed the drain. Sometimes it takes the beaver a while to realize there is a second breach.
Nice video!
for those who want to know when the earth fell in the initial video it is in the minute: 3:55
Why did you not open the other side?
1 side it's enough to drain the dam ;)
Beavers could rebuild the little you did there in one or two nights. They should be cleared right out but check with locals first. Some are allowed to let be for wildlife. Some even cause ponds to establish. Try finding out who owns the flooded side of the dam before taking any self action.
PS when the water is the same level on both sides of the dam you have cleared it. You also need to go the full width of the river.
There is a product out called a garden weasel it has multiple tongs on it and a handle to be able to turn...it may be useful to look into...your shovel is great but the way this works could possibly help a bit better...
I wonder if it would be durable enough. I don't think it would be able to hold up in this mud.

worth the wait !! 👍
Well done!
Blowing it up would be so much fun lol
I'm in Agreeance with the last commenter, while you've got that much water Use it to your advantage and open up both sides
Great job and a lot of Walter.
You could also try a beaver pond leveller to control the height the water gets to and save yourself from the work of pulling down dams often.
I seem to remember this spot.

Hi Kenis.
Why did't you open also on the other side of the dam, to drain with more speed?
I like your work!
gio
Hi,
There was a lot of water, so anyway it would take a while until it will be drained till the end even with 2 sides opened.
Thank You!
Forget degrees F!
Dangerous current. Take care.
It will take hours to lower the water level, but it's going down.
Wasn’t that a dam on the other side also? It looked like it in the video.
There was some several dams too! ;)
