I'm always impressed by how well you both work together. I can see how much mutual respect and awareness you both have for each other. You know when to get out of the way when the excavator is working and the operator knows when he has the safe opening to do his part. Great teamwork, be safe and Happy Holidays.

@@msTECH86 I did notice though that when the operator started dumping the buckets towards the guy watching he had to move back a bit, and then sure enough he would move in again as soon as the operator swung back. If I was running the excavator, I would have extended the boom out all the way and swung it slowly towards him and tell him, stay outside of that swing. He could have very easily moved 5 to 10 feet or so downstream and been out of the swing and seen just as well. I worked my whole life in commercial construction and safety became more of a concern as time went on. Funny how easy that is to see watching the video verses being in the middle of it when it's happening. Sorry if I'm being critical, but I was the guy who had to deal with OSHA whenever they came calling.

My hometown had a series of beaver dams about 300 yards wide and four to eight feet tall. Two streams came together in an area of 40 year old maples. It was glorious.

Nice cleanup and drain. Great job

We removed the dam very slowly so as not to flood anything below. Only once did we flood the garden of a resident below the beaver dam - but that was about three years ago, when I wasn't recording videos on KZread yet 😉

Was up in Ontario Canada a few years back walleye fishing, off the main lake there was a narrow channel through some rock walls, once we entered the lake, we could see something off in the distance, as we got closer we realized it was a huge beaver dam, we got out of the boat and walked up to the top of it and saw that behind the dam was roughly 250-300 acre lake behind it, with a massive beaver hut in the middle. that dam we estimated was 8-8.5 feet tall, the dam had been built between 2 hills, as we were fishing we could see numerous spots where water was seeping through the hills,

If left on the bank would the beavers just start over and use the debris to rebuild their dam?

In your country, is it legal for landowners to trap beavers on their property, or to authorize a licensed trapper to do so? Regards from central Ontario, Canada.

What compels Beavers to do this?, lol. Such facinating animal behavior. Must the dam be dismantled?

The more sticks you remove before releasing the water the easier it is to move the mud

That is,a super tiny dam. The record length is The world's largest beaver dam is visible from space in satellite images. It is almost 800 metres long from end-to-end, and holds back run-off water from the Birch Mountains in the southernmost end of Wood Buffalo National Park. The front of the actual dam, runs approximately 775 metres in length.

I know this is true and I admit you are right - but try to understand me - search on Facebook for videos of beaver dam removal and see how many of my recordings there are. Additionally, when I report these illegally copied recordings, in most cases Facebook does not even want to remove them. Hence these giant watermarks with the name of my channel - especially on sections where the dams are really large and willingly copied from my channel.

How each will try to help others in these sad times. To find temporary shelter and other food sources. Life in and around the beaver pond that took years to build was now gone.

There are no leaves on any trees. Tjat should tell you it is most likely winter.

What's really amazing is how, during evolution, beavers learned to cut down trees and such, bring them to a spot where they can dam up a creek to make a pond, and then build a mound of material where they access the insides from the bottom to live in safe from all predators.

That stream could use some loose rock check dams -- it's seriously eroded! I've never seen a beaver dam with that big a height above the stream bed -- I've always seen beavers make a series of dams where the water level in each one is at the bottom of the next one upstream. Watching this I found myself wondering if there's a way to encourage them to build lower down. I also found myself wondering what would happen if a 16" culvert pipe were put into the dam to keep the water level lower -- would the beavers just plug it?
