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.

We have had tons of comments about picking up trash, we replied to some but we are just going to give a reply to all here. We do pick up trash but that isn’t what our channel is actually about and lots of that taking up screen time isn’t super exciting so we generally do it after the culvert is done. If we get too much trash we have to leave it because we only have so much room in the pickup to haul bags. Hope that answers the many questions on it.
That's awesome! First of all to all the people who are complaining about whether or not you are picking up the garbage, Are you out picking it up where you live? Or just sitting in front of the computer bitching and complaining being keyboard warriors! it is NOT THEIR JOB to do that just like it isn't THEIR job to clear the culverts! That is the county's job! but they are obviously not worried about it! What these women do for their county is incredible taking time out of their lives not being paid for it when they should be! Keep up the great work Jen and Momma!
Does the county come and remove the tree branches and debris ever? Or does it just wash back into the ditches ?
Great job, ladies! Why do people throw their garbage in the nature and on the streets? I´ll never get it.
Immigrants are the worst for it....
Totally just a suggestion. I am not complaining or picking. If you ladies are clearing out a ditch try to rake the debris to the opposite side of the road. When it rains again with the way roads are designed it will just end right back up in the ditch. I know that may not always be an option. At least if you CAN rake back into the wooded area it’s less likely to be as easily pushed back into the ditch. But you both are doing a great job. Clearly others don’t seem to care. Keeping these culverts & ditches open help preserve the road ways & make them safe to drive on. For the love of God people…..the side of roadways & an open window is NOT how you discard your beer cans, bottles & trash. 🙄. Stay safe ladies. Great work! Poor fur babies. There is a special place for any humans who abandon animals. ❤❤.
Amen.
You ladies wear me out just watching you. I thank you very much for all that you do.
was worried when you weren't here yesterday. love your videos.
I was just thinking I hadn’t seen you two in days! 🤭
I love it when you and your mom say "Good grief"
Great job! You need to do just a trash picking day! Love watching you two!
These ladies are a real assett to their community
Maybe buy a fishing magnet to locate metal coverts easier.
Great job, really enjoyed the vid today! 🎉🎉🎉
There’s a little something here, pulls tree out. All that garbage just saddens and angers me. Why do people think the side of the road is a garbage dump? Thank you for another great video! 😎🇨🇦😎
Well done, ladies! Great video again ❤
Post10 hasn't posted any content like this in awhile. Glad I found your channel.
Welcome aboard!
You won't regret watching the ladies are just as determined as post 10
Undetected sarcasm for the win 😂😂
Post10 did one a few days ago.
That's cause he did to good of a job lol
Does anyone else sometimes think of Charlie Brown when Jen sometimes says "Good Grief"...😊
Don't pay no mind to the negativity of those people trying critizie. You ladies have it nailed. Great job
Y'all are doing a great service. Thank you.
I hope you are appreciated locally for all you do for your community❤️👏 I appreciate you👏👏🥇 Such a shame about all of the rubbish, very sad. I enjoyed hearing the rain, it hasn’t rained here, where I’m from in Australia for months. Take care❤
Wow that’s a great job well done ladies 🇬🇧
We've had a ton of rain here in the UK. Not just us I see.
great job as always. but i am shocked about all the garbage everywhere.
Great vid as usual!!! Just remember you have almost 18K subscribers watching so maybe you could slow down the movement of the camera when you are moving around or walking. Some folks may get "drunk" from it! LOL!! Keep them coming as when I need a Mom and Jen fix, I rewatch them all!!! Love you ladies!!
What a great collection! I have to say that I wasn't fully prepared for the enormous surfing spider at that big cracked plastic culvert. You all have some crazysauce spiders! 😂
Y’all talk to each other so respectfully. I love that you look out for ani,Al’s too.
I have to say ladies.I'm getting addicted to your channel.You do a great job
❤ you tackled some seriously sloppy ditches in this video. I am always impressed with how hard you work. Thanks for sharing this video.
Wow .. The eclipse seems to have brought out our chatty side! ❤❤❤❤. You guys are out there busting your humps and listening to me whine!😂😂😂 You just keep doing what you are doing. It is enough,❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Well done ladies
Good work again ladies.
I can watch you two all day don't particularly like the others
You need a metal garden rake would really help clear the leaf blocking the ditches
Wow that was messy, well done ladies, great work again 👏 👍
Nice to see some of that 10 year old blockages moved.
That looked like lots of sun getting all those leaves cleared
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO LADIES 😊
Another good job ladies. It may be a good idea to put out a couple of traffic cones on the more busy roads you work on. Safety first 🦺
Great work as always! Love your channel ❤️
Tuyệt vời quá cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ ❤❤❤
Hello ladies! After all your hard work, it’s maddening to think that when the leaves at the roadside dry, the cars driving by will blow it all back in the ditches again. There’s a plus…more content! Btw….does it always rain in your state? So much flooding….Take care you two❣️Balmy 19c here today….👙🤣 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Great job ladies!
Great job.ladies!
Did you all get the chance to feed the dogs off camera before you left?Greetings from Chicago, Tell Kim I said hello 👋
Sincerely Ameenah
We did. They belong to a house up the road but we fed them
@@culvertsandmore🐾🐾❤️
Hats off to you girls, that is very hard work you do! I think raking the leaves across to other side of road would be useless . With that many trees and windy it will of course be a repeat as soon as dried up. The whole point of their work is to help fellow Oklahomans . 27:18
And the last Culvert with the Mud should of been cleaned out at least until it's not possible for you to reach and that way the water has a new way of getting the inside of the culvert opened and flushed out.....
Mamá siempre la mejor
Nice work, ladies. 😅😅😅😅
Great video!
How did the solar eclipse go for you guys down there?
a great job well done
Love the channel!
Regarding the metal culverts that are bashed in and blocking the flow. Have you considered a digging bar? It's about 72 inches and all metal for prying open the culverts. They are available at Ace, Walmart, or your local hardware store. It might be a bit heavy, but you would not use it all the time. It's long enough to give you leverage on those pesky bent ends. Just a suggestion.
Another suggestion, when the ground is less frozen, would you be able to put a painted marker stick where some of those openings are so you can find them easier when the area is flooded? You are doing great work otherwise!!!!!!!!!!
Flagging tape. If they find what color who ever suppose to maintain the road to let them know, hey culvert is here and needs attention. On one of post 10 videos the beaver trapper if I remember the color right it's blue and red. That way the road maintainer keeps an eye on, the trapper history of beaver to trap or relocate
Or just have a Yellow 🟡 Paint Spray Can and then paint your lines and then even the Driveway of where it starts on the Blacktop and it doesn't have to be a Great Big Line but the paint is a Summer time job and then also need to get a Fiberglass pole to poke the ground to get a better idea of where it might be and then how deep it is, but having Full body Waders helps with that....
WOW! There is so much trash. I wish people cared more about their community and nature like you do. :( In my area county in Tennessee the Sheriffs Dept has a road clean up crew of inmates that volunteer to walk the roads but there isn't a whole lot for them to pick up. The ones that are caught by residents post them over social media....lol
In the south of Sweden we had 30 cm of snow last weekend. But I can se that your storms are huge. I just wonder of you get payed for all your good work? 🤔🫶👏🌹🌹🌹to you and Jen.

All it takes is one youtube video to go to 1 million views and you make good monies.
good job. these culverts look so small and old
I was wondering do you guys still pick up the trash you see? In your past videos your Mom was way on top of it but now it seems like you really kinda ignore it. I know there must be a lot of litter out there you see...and it can be overwhelming..... But for all of us watching could you pick more of it up...as for me if I could be out there with you I would do it. Keep the great videos coming.
A lot of times we pick it up after we are done with the culvert cause picking up trash isn’t necessarily what ppl watch our channel for. Granny does a lot of it when she is here. If it’s really big item we have to leave it. And if we have picked up a lot that day, we only have so much room in the truck to haul garage bags so we have to stop because of that to.
Thank you for your reply. Yes, people just suck... They just need to leave their trash in their car. I think that if your name can be found on any of the trash dumped somewhere that they should have to pay a fine for littering.
What strikes me is the amount of waste everywhere
Whats happend with filming the exits i liked lookin at the exit as well
You guys do a good job. But this video stressed me out more than anything lol. Besides raking the leaves back on the road where the flow right back in and leaving big logs on the side as well. What was the most stressful was watching the potato rake basically barely dipped in the water scraping off the surface instead of getting right down in there tearing leaves out in front of the culvert. It was almost like you were just playing with the surface of the water Instead of getting down at the base of the culvert
This is the country we have lots of water. The cities don't.
Why do you put all that dirt on the road when the rain comes it will just flow back in again
Great job, but I wish you would get a grab stick & bag & clear all the rubbish.
They do, but don't film it.
They do, at each site. They just don't film it any longer.
We all appreciate the trash removal especially when it is on film! Thank you for everything you do😅
Cut the vines away with your cute little snippers.
Why don´t you remove the aluminium and plastic garbage while you are at it and it is in reach?
They do remove it, they don't record that part
That may be the most trash I've seen in one of your videos ☹
Not picking up trash anymore??? i knew it wouldn't last. You would need a dump truck and a seperate video....
So much rubbish.
It's confusing because you appear to be out on backroads/country roads so where is it all coming from?
County areas don’t always have trash pickup so ppl have to haul it to dumpsters themselves. When it’s in the back of pickups it tends to fly out. This road was also a very heavy traffic from visitors and tourists and they don’t always show respect for the beauty of the area.
Post 10 is boring
Good work. Do you pick up the rubbish people leave?
