Removing Large Beaver Dam To Drain Flooded Road. Unclogging Culvert

I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards. Thanks for watching.

    I love watching your videos before I go to bed then I dream about how angry the beavers are when they discover their wrecked dams. I imagine they're like "Why?! Why would someone do this to our property? We werent bothering anybody!" Little do they know that they're comprising the structural integrity of the nearby road beds, which would eventually lead to a costly and potentially dangerous catastrophic failure. I know the beavers hate Post 10 but I consider him a friend and a hero.

    You should probably correct that statement about Beaver pelts. Some would say we couldn't have settled the continent without beavers. I know Lewis and Clark depended on them. Europe couldn't get enough of them. They have a very warm fur which was instrumental in the survival of the settlers across the country. "Now days" they may not seem to be worth very much but growing up in the 1970's they were still highly valuable, and we ran trap lines for them.

    Clicking "Like" on a video is free, but it helps the channel a lot.

    Don't knock your dyslexia, Post. It's our quirks and strangeness that make us who we are, and we like you. Always enjoy spending time with you at the culverts.

    Those birds are a type of sandpiper. Love your videos. I always learn something.
