Interesting. I'm dealing with a similar issue. My neighborhood storm water runoff is funneled into a culvert that empties into the middle of my wooded lot. It had been ignored and abused for 25 years when I purchased the lot so the water had been going everywhere. I lost four large trees the first 18 months I was here due to oversaturated roots. This drainage path needs to handle frequent flash floods and it was nowhere close to be able to do that. I've been working finding the original drainage path, digging along it, and shoring up the sides. I find these videos to be very useful and practical. Thank you for posting them.

I appreciate his efforts clearing roadways and making travel safer for commuters. Back when I was a Boy Scout we were taught not to travel hiking trails in the rain as to help preserve its integrity. To hike in parallel to them widens the trail and damages the surrounding environment. My concern is future erosion of the trail.

I just came across your videos. Your content is amazing, especially the abandoned places you've been too. Keep them coming !

I'm doing something like this behind our house now, minus bridges and something like 200 feet long. There was a channel for water to flow over 10 years ago. We have a neighbor on one side and the water from all the backyards uphill past our fence comes down to us. I am not strong enough, but at least there are fewer points where the water stops. Years of leaves and fallen branches slowed the flow too much. I hope it helps cuz I can't afford a more high tech system. Gonna be sore tomorrow. Still needs work. So, here I am, watching videos about digging for drainage. I'm using a 30 year old shovel.

Hey Post, love your vids! And no doubt you already know this but you and your work are GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Once everything starts flowing halfway through, I must say, that's quite satisfying to watch.

Heh, so how did that recent snow work out for you? *smug noises*

Oh....I did this. I bought a house that had a hill about 6 ft high behind back patio. The first time it rained I had flooding to back door. So I go out in rain and start digging a trench about about a foot deep. all along the bottom...all the way out to driveway. Put a little gravel in later. The water was draining away from patio as I was digging. It worked great no problems for the seven years I lived there. I had day Lily’s along bottom edge of hill that covered the trench. Couldn’t even see it. I was so proud! P.S. My former husband stayed inside and enjoyed watching.

I would love to see an update from this project.

Hey Post! Love this kind of 'project' video as Rserpe says in the comments too: Show the problem, how you're going to deal with it and then the work itself. Already looking forward to the follow up! Thanks again, love the channel.

My hats off to Post 10. You operate light speed faster then any city or county I know of. You are civic minded and are willing to spend out of your own pocket and fix something today that a city board, city engineer and city work crews would spend 3 months in thinking of ways to not fix this small problem. Your city needs to hire you. Let you fix thing on the fly, make notes and give the small supplies you need. You would have more citizens from your city thinking the city higher 5 complete work crews. I wish you lived in my city.
