massive culvert unclogging. log jam. 1/29/23

#beaverdamremoval #culverts #oklahoma #unclogging
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.
this one was a doozy! we unclear to the best of our ability a log jam at a large culvert. we still have some left at the end and hope to come back soon to finish it off. Jen knows that her pants were wet and it looked like she couldn't hold it in. lol. :) she sat on a wet rock. lol. hope you all enjoy this!

    Great videos and you work very hard and get there in the end. Sometimes you might try getting hold of the extreme ends of logs, together, and that way have much better leverage, so you could pull them around, and get them to the side, rather than grabbing the middle, which is way heavier with less leverage.

    That big log is stuck on the ceiling, because of the log underneath it. However, that log in the middle rests with a small portion on the log under it. When you look at timestamp 58:25-28 you see the movement of the log in the middle. Tjo avoid accidents push or pull the log in between at its side next to the tree towards the second inlet. By doing so the log in between will fall of the log under it and the log won't be stuck on the ceiling any longer.

    I have watched videos much newer than this and boy, don’t you had that mini-chainsaw when you did this. And the electric pruner. (I have ordered an electric pruner but porch pirates have gotten TWO of them. I have made it as clear as I can that they must deliver to my backdoor, which requires going through a gate from the alley, but it isn’t visible the instant it is left. I live in a single story townhouse and have only a small patio area where I can grow things. There are lots of self-seeding saplings that I have to get rid of. Hope I get the next one. I am 77 with mobility issues and going shopping myself is no longer feasible.)

    Great job as always!! Do you have another video coming out for the unclogging the other side that you guys clogged up or do you think the current will take it. I am just curious because you guys know how strong the current can get. In all the videos that you have done you guys don't have much space to discard the debris because there is alot of barbed wire fencing around. But anyway you guys are doing a tremendous job unclogging everything, and just be safe and be aware of your surroundings of snakes 🐍 and beavers 🦫 . Great jon Jenn and Mama ❤❤
