- Hello,
I found this dam near the road. There was 2 dams in 50 meters range. This dam was the highest one. 180 centimeters of height. Seems beavers preparing for a winter.

Hi why didn't you use a mini excavator to remove the debre from the dam

@@donaldalexanderrichards4422 don’t have:)
I have torn out a number of dams, the best way I have found, isto use a pick ax. I start at the bottom of the dam, on the back side and tear it out all the way down to the creek bed and then move forward with the tear out.i take out about a three foot width and when the dam breaks loose, it clears everything out with the water flow.
Kenislovas: I think your method is by far the best with the potato rake, then with the small bladed shovel when down deeper. After 14 minutes on this dam a lot of muck is still being removed with the potato rake because large wads of grass and twigs can be dredged up with the strong current.
That dam was huge. Much respect for you!
No respect at all, ignorance at its best!
@@philippesails4973 the ignorance is all yours.
🇳🇱The beaver family has worked well again and the man who can mark the mess again and clean it up ALSO greetings from the Netherlands Hans.👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀
I love waking up to watch dam removal.
Thanks 💚
That one was huge! It looks like the beavers cut a lot of fire wood for you. LOL I hope you have a good Holiday season.
At 14 minute mark the dam level has dropped 1/2 meter so a lot of water the farmers will be happy about. Good job Mantis.
Wow that's a beavers mother's dam lol 😳 giant dam.. lots work ...all this young trees 🌳 😳 up there ☹...I guess they stack them up for winter food.
Great video man thanks for sharing 👍 good work👍👊💪👌🇨🇮...stay safe and your family.
Thank You mate! ;)
Around here if you throw the parts and pieces of a beaver damn on the ground like this, when you come back in the morning they will be back in place!
Another great dismantling. Fantastic video. 🇱🇹😊👍🇺🇸
Thank you for bringing us this video, it was as well you removed this dam as had the animals continued to build then they would have flooded at least part of two fields which would have been serious news for the farmers. This work that you did in considerably lowering the water level was a major task which the people are absolutely delighted to see. Thank you for this very interesting and informative video presentation which is much appreciated by the community.
nowhere near flooding fields lol.
We don’t need farmers who have been stupid enough to turn into the new workers of the food industry!
Who is the more stubborn? You knocking the dams down or the beavers rebuilding them?
Thanks! Great video keep them coming!
That dam is HUGE! Must be five feet high. Nice job opening it up sir, as you always do. Be well. Big Al.
lots of mud & big sticks. another great job
OMG a water droplet on the lens - 0/10 😠
Dood, it's fine😄 Relax!
Great video! 👍
It's ok. It's only water, I can see through that. Now if it would've been beaver mud who knows what's in that s**t. Lol. Good job. Looks like lots of work. Those were some nice young trees piled up there. Wish the beavers could let some be. Soon they'll likely go after that big tree in the background. This could be a full time job. Thank you for letting me watch your hard work. Stay safe. See you soon. 😉👍👍😊😃✨
You are welcome :) Only with hard work You can achieve something in this world :)
Wow.
That was a big one.
Great job as always.
Stay safe out there
I can tell by your newer videos your camera angle has gotten much better. Great job.
All in all great job
Wow ! That's a big one
Great job… just a tip to make it a little easier on ya next time… start picking at the very sides and leave the center alone… when you have enough flow on both sides it will do the work and flush the center out for you.
Perhaps you could upload your own videos to your channel of where you have previously demonstrated this sage advice in practical terms. Unless you are just an armchair expert with no experience of these matters.
I also took apart dams
They were on Issaquah creek twice the size of that one
One time they got ahead of me they built one three times bigger
Had to get the government involved right before a big flood came
They took it down
The flood was so bad it could have busted the dam and cause worse damage downstream
2 thumbs Up. Great job as usual. Love that water sound.
You should keep some of the best sticks from the dam and make walking sticks out of them. I've made some nice ones out of the dams I've taken apart. The ones that were stripped by the beavers were the best to use. Love watching you break the dams, keep it up. Nothing better than thinking about some aggravated beavers as the water level drops.
Thank You!
Well done there was a hell of alot more water there then I thought wow.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Dam it was a big one 😂👍🏻
I would also suggest trying removing one or both sides of the dam so the water pressure begins to push the rest away
It was huge, it would take me a week to clear that. I love the fast flowing water.
you have some really busy eager beavers...
That's a tannerite dam right there.
You should put a sign..⛔ no dam building...
;D
Good work!
Great job!
Beavers are attracted to the sound of moving water.
You must be proud of your land management program.
That was not a compliment.
The land in the videos is very low lying and susceptible to flooding and so man made canals are created to drain them. The beavers dam these man made canals and cause the productive land to flood and be non-viable for food production. This is the situation in many areas of that country. In the video you can see areas of flooded land caused as a result of the dams and the land not being able to drain.
A lot of hard work.
Do the beavers reuse the old wood when rebuilding or do they seem to prefer new wood?
Mostly not;)
Ooh, Excellent question. I wondered the same thing.
I feel like I am cheating on post10 but great video, thanks for sharing.
Personally, id have made a small fire to at least boil a kettel on for a cup of coffee..lol ;-) well done, good job. great vid ;-)
nice work, good job..
Wow that was big dam.
I guess when you see a Dam like this the feeling of being overwhelmed must suck out the attack side of ripping it down ?i tell you what Brother my utmost respect and admiration go out to you . I Bow my head to you ... thanks for sharing this with the world
Great job
Very nice work!
Good job.
Great. Well done.
Looks like the beavers chewed down a whole forest to build this 1!
Surprisingly there's not much woods around :)
That’s a lot of dam water!
You should try for the Olympics , with all that javelin throwing x
:)))
the beavers worked hard to bring all that to site
Good job my man :-)
Oh my goodness!! This is a huge one. I wonder where they're getting those sticks from? I don't see trees around there. It's just unbelievable how they can build these dams. You're are amazing... keep them coming. Appreciate your hard work. Thank you!!!
Thank You!
Beavers cut down all the trees.
What do you do with the sides of the breach? Do you burn them after the water has been down for a few days?
We can’t make a fire. Just leave it there.
Lucky them beavers can’t fight. Destroying all his hard work
Next time just go with three sticks of dynamite.
Bet the beavers fixed it in 24 hrs. Gotta remove more than that. Only way that will stay open is if ALL the beavers are removed then again new beavers moving in will have a dam near ready for them. It's why they are called busy beavers. Good luck.
You need a excavator to clear all that out.
Can You send me one?:)
@@Kenislovas ha ha ha
Beavers will repair that one over the weekend then you can make another jab at it. RUclips content insurance. We'll be here for the repeat performances, of course.
If you don't remove the tons of mud in the dam you are not doing much damage
Thank you for the large number of video's , which are extremely interesting. On this video, there were a large number of large branches laid on top of the dam; are these placed to support the dam, for future construction, due to the AMOUNT of water being held back? Do like the sound of water. Patrick, Northamptonshire, uk
The beavers disappear from this place. I've checked 1 week ago :)
Be careful wearing chest waiters working with that much water.
I bet you could sell bundles of those long slim branches. People would use them for garden trellis.
We have forests. Nobody going to buy those sticks :)
@@Kenislovas I wish I had a couple big bundles. :)
Can i ask, why you do this? Are you the farmer, or work for him? Or work for an gouverment agency?
I wouldn't have been able to resist the urge to use some dynamite......
Your work is appreciated you've help flouding to keep from happening
Thank You:)
ha ha ha. 50 meter down wait the next dam so what a Joke to must go down and open the next dam and the next because he only let the wood swimm downstream,can you not see this? he must take the wood out,not send them downstream to hanging there fast and create the next Dam. Think befor you work.
Dynamite and a 30-06.
Those beavers will be outraged!! They are plotting how to get your potato rake and gnaw it in half, then use it to rebuild the dam!!! 👀
I have to ask, can you trap the beavers and move them somewhere else?
Why is there always only one person actually destroying the dam ????? It would go faster and easier with 2 or 3 people working on it !!!!!!!!
There are a lot of consequences.
Free time.
Desire.
Few of them.
Shirley, wanna join me ?
That was a great job! Might I suggest some orange paint on your rake so you don't lose it among the sticks?
Paint should be good:)
Not me trying to wipe that smudge off the screen 😂😂😂😂
Beaver dams have numerous benefits for all wildlife, the environment, climate control, and humanity. Think about that.
How many of the dams that you have removed, have been rebuilt? Just curious. Good wishes from Canada.
Hey! I didn’t check all of them, but I guess 70-80%
Nice. Needs more pickaxe though 😉
Need a back hole to make it more fun lol
Just curious, was the dam flooding the road? If not, what was the logic used for removing it? As a former professional beaver control trapper I have come to appreciate the benefits that beaver have for the landscape and environment. Beaver are a keystone species and their engineering adds many more benefits to nature and the environment than an unobstructed stream. Study after study has shown they enhance the fish population in watersheds and create vital wetlands that are rapidly disappearing from the landscape. Beaver ponds also act as nutrient sinks which improve water quality downstream, especially in areas with heavy agriculture. Beaver created habitat also acts as carbon sinks which arguably are important in this day and age when climate change is an issue. Beaver altered landscapes store water, increase the water table and mitigate floods by slowing the downstream flow of water after major rain events. Beaver were on the landscape before humans and they play an important role. I find it ironic that your store sells shirts about "getting back to nature" and yet you find enjoyment out of destroying wetlands that are extremely important to the nature you claim to love. Having partaken in clearing areas of beaver and coming back years later I have seen the decline in biodiversity and degradation of the habitat, fewer birds, amphibians, reptiles and mammals that require wetlands. At 60 years old I have few regrets in my life, but destroying productive wetlands made by beaver is probably my major regret.
Idiotic best at best on your part.
The land in the videos is very low lying and susceptible to flooding and so man made canals are created to drain them. The beavers dam these man made canals and cause the productive land to flood and be non-viable for food production. This is the situation in many areas of that country. In the video you can see areas of flooded land caused as a result of the dams and the land not being able to drain. You could resolve your guilt by purchasing your productive farm land and allowing it to be flooded by beaver activity rendering it unavailable for any other use.
👍
10 jerrycans of gasolina and light it up!
Зачем всю грязь и ветки спускать вниз по течению? Они же создадут новый затор, а бобры добавят.
Someone needs to donate you a long reach JCB or similar with the amount of those dams you deal with
Haha:) it’s too expensive :)
Bet there were some good crawfish to be had🤔🇩🇴
There’s no crawfish there..
Do you take the whole dam out or just open the end.
It depends, usually I am draining it.
Dynamite.
Long stick excavator with a thumb!!
Send me one✌️
Where did they get these trees?
There are bushes around, so they just cuting it with their teeths and bringing there.
Are you allowed to use explosives 🧨 to dismantle a dam?
No sir.
Title says removal, video says cracking it a little.
Wouldn't that be better if you use tree branches for firewood in your house, so that the beavers don't use them anymore?
Beavers don't re-use old materials. It's safe to chuck the stuff up on the banks :)
Is that your job or do you have something else?
Becoming my job.
That beaver dam was strongly constructed. The large material was impressive. I hope the beavers don't reuse it to rebuild the dam.
Hopefully;)
Until you tear one out, you have no idea how well built they are. Once you start you about have to finish or the the little buggers will fix it.
Leave the beavers alone.
Then you PAY the farmers for lost crops. Because they will lose money on flooded fields. Fields that will no good
Ever try dynamite and beaver traps?
Not allowed in my country..
@@Kenislovas Dynamite no but traps? What country?
Clearing a small section is a waste of time. They'll rebuild that overnight
Next time will be easier;)
It doesn't seem like the dam was destroying any of the farmlands. I don't know why it has to be destroyed just so that water can flow? I would like people to see how we can work with Beavers and their natural habitats and to insure that they create little pockets of wetlands throughout the farming areas.
Beavers are immensely needed. With overgrazing, over farming, and the lack of nutrients that go into the soil from years of harvest, why not let the Beavers do their thing and fix the eco-system?
Happy for you to buy your own productive farm land on which you depend on an income and the community depends on for food and then allow beavers to comprehensively flood it so it is no longer viable. The land in the videos is very low lying and susceptible to flooding and so man made canals are created to drain them. The beavers dam these man made canals and cause the productive land to flood and be non-viable for food production. This is the situation in many areas of that country. In the video you can see areas of flooded land caused as a result of the dams and the land not being able to drain. Put your money where your mouth is and buy your own land rather than dictate how other's should use their own property.
Is beaver hunting allowed in Lithuania?
Yes it is, but you must to have license to do it.
Have you ever used dynamite??? 🤔😁🤣🤣👋
Not allowed here..:(
@@Kenislovas 😁😁
Better than Post 10 …. I’m glad they stopped tryna compare ya’ll in the comments everyday
Finally:) Thank You bro!
@@Kenislovas u deserve ur recognition bro this ain’t no easy job or no culvert lol
Thru body language, it appears you detest being there
The Dam is still there. You just poked a hole in it. Same like all your other video's. All the same. You're not removing them. You just break them a bit.
