Post, about your comment on chest waders. I fully understand your concern. I've been a fly fisherman in CO for many years. I fish still water, and very fast moving rivers with a pair of lightweight chest waders. The consensus is that they in fact don't drag you down when falling in. The simple explanation is that, water in water is neutral so it doesn't create substantial resistance. I have fallen in a few times over the years and can say that I didn't feel them to be a hindrance. I only mention it because I think a quality pair of lightweight breathable waders would suit you well my friend, and make your adventures much more comfortable.

Excellent work as usual! From a recent beaver documentary, I believe some of those little streams you see draining as you’re walking through are indeed intentional. Beavers will half burrow swimming routes further into the forest as the pond grows in size for safety purposes as they forage.

Beaver dams are carefully constructed so they are essentially puzzles to take apart, its not like when you pile brush for a bonfire and can keep taking off the top of the pile. About the only effective tools for this are hand picking, a chain saw (mud would instantly dull it), and possibly some sort of fire/flamethrower. Everything else would be rather ineffective at demolishing it or be heavy machinery like an escavator/backhoe that he legally cant use as a volunteer (even the chainsaw is probably off limits). Also i wonder if a pressure washer would work, assuming you had a water feed/gas for it to stay functional.

one danger you should be aware of is when the dam gets "loose" in those metal pipes, there is a chance of the entire dam sliding down and out the pipe from the water pressure behind it. When I was a kid, I broke a few beaver dams by just sitting there and poking it with a stick. The branches and all were locked together real well but I managed to wash out all the dirt in between them by just poking and wiggling a big stick down through the cracks. I really enjoy the sound of those rocks tumbling down through the pipe. Thanks for making these videos, brings back memories and the running water is pretty peaceful.

You're right, Paul, & that's the primary reason to work from the top rear edge downward, to gradually lower the water level to relieve pressure on the dam as you go. If you work from the front edge, you run a much higher risk of the dam breaking loose from the pipe all at once, & the massive flow of released water at high volume & pressure toppling you into a raging torrent filled with mud, rocks, and tangled sticks & logs, & who knows how or when you could fight your way up & out of it to safety. Working from the back, at a minimum, gives you the chance of fleeing down the pipe & out of the way.

He is quite literally OSHA trained.

Depends on the size, weight, interlocking of the wood and whether there are small elements that will not simply dissolve into tiny fragments as dirt/mud will. That's part of what the large rocks do - they inhibit the flow while providing a heavy anchor for the small and large pieces of wood.

I agree, watch yourself doing that on the downstream side. If that dam let's go, you could get seriously hurt. 🤕

The sound of the rushing water is so soothing. Wish I could listen to that all night. Thank you for all your hard work - you are a marvel.

Another engineering dispute neatly resolved ! Beavers later just said "Damn !". I enjoyed watching each chunk dismantled much more than I should have. I'll watch every one of these moving forward. Thanks much.

I love watching all the debris flowing down the tube as you clear it. I remember the wolf spiders in the drain the last time you were cleaning this. I am glad there are people like you who help with cleaning the same. Just be careful and maybe wear some gloves to be safe. Safety is ALWAYS first!

one thing i've learned from watching your videos is how amazingly industrious beavers are. it's incredible that such small critters can so effectively block such large culverts with such heavy flow! it sucks that they cause problems but I can't help but be impressed at the engineering. I sure couldn't build a dam like that in a day with nothing but sticks and mud. And I have opposable thumbs to help me!

They are truly amazing. They aren't called the construction workers of the animal world for nothing! But sadly they can't understand the concept of places they shouldn't build... I'm happy the forest rangers decided to trap instead of shoot.

@@Delcattiy let’s hope they do truly trap them and release elsewhere and not shoot them lol, and weren’t just saying it to make their agency look better

Hey Post 10! Was worried about you there for a bit. Your hands must be tired after all that. Glad a big part of that mess didn't turn loose at once. You do a fantastic job young man. Love your videos and thank you!

Having done a few of these myself, it is mind-blowing how the beavers intertwine the neverending sticks, stones and mud. After a while you start to see fish, frogs etc. get used to your presence and start swimming thru.

You have no idea how relaxing it is to come home from work and put on one of your videos. The sound of the water flowing and watching it as well, it's my moment of the day that's just for me and myself... Thanks heaps man and keep up the great work.

So cool to see a wave current form on the left side of the culvert as it was draining. For the entire video. Rocks tumbling through is so awesome cool. Like ice cracking almost. 💪💪👍👍

It’s crazy how satisfying watching these videos are!

Oh my goodness you're such a inspiration to do good 👍🏻😊 when I watch your videos I find myself when traveling looking for clogged drains, pipes and culverts in the neighborhoods and busy streets ! You might just be contagious to people for them to begin to make the world a better place to live in!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful life! Be safe and healthy! Take care!

Really interesting, although I have to admire the Beavers construction standards which are stronger than the man-made road!

There are exceptionally good people in this world, and this guy is definitely one of them.

I enjoy a moment of zen watching your videos. In my moment of zen today I invented a tool/contraption using a grapple hook, a come-along, and a tow strap w/a tree saver.

Post 10 never surrenders to a beaver 👍thanks again for all ya do

You're gonna lose your ring if you aren't careful! Really love these videos. They've inspired me to look around my own neighborhood more carefully to find out where all the water drains to.
