Unclogging A Big Culvert Blockage On A Very Rainy Day

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.

    You're the first person I've seen mention the Royal "we", or "us". It makes me smile because I think YOU ... I'm not doing ANYTHING except watching lol. The other thing that always makes me smile is when Post mentions his 'big' high boots. I wonder if one day we'll ever get to see his 'small' high boots lol?

    Post, I grew up on a high bank over a river delta. Beach combing was every day for us kids...Beaver chews often floated down settling on the beach. Now at 74 after years of walking along waterways picking up this and that; I have a 10" beaver chew, chewed to a point on both ends. It had been a 4"-5" tree. Beaver in training? Obsessive beaver? Who knows but it sits on a shelf in my living room now. It's a beauty. Show and tell...I've used it to display jewelry and people have offered to buy it over the years. Keep doing what you're doing; many people ride along on your adventures!

    Great video, as always. Small tip about Camera #2: Keep a roll of Scotch tape in the truck, and have a piece of plastic large enough to cover the screen of the phone from some packaging material. Then, secure the plastic around the back of the phone with a strip of tape. That way, you can flip the plastic away quickly to work the screen, and rain will not be able to interfere. Cardboard will work, too.

    All of the swamp gas and stinky smells are probably what is drawing all of the flies. Why don't you buy more than one rake? If one breaks then you don't have to leave to get another one. Just keep filming using the spare rake. I like the fact that you have a dashcam. It makes me feel like I'm riding with you and it's fun. Thanks for bringing me along.

    Hello, I watch another beaver dam remover on KZread called Kenislovich. He is from Lithuania I believe. He uses a potato harvesting rake. It has wider, longer tines. It also has a horizontal handle half way down that allows one to pull with two arms if they wish. They are probably inexpensive in Lithuania, lol. A quick Google search didn't find a look-alike. I enjoy your unplugging videos, keep them coming.

    I use my own modified type of rake. I bought a five-fork pitchfork. When grilling I put them in the charcoal and heated them up. Then the forks bent to my liking, similar to your rake. When it comes to pitchforks, steel is better because it has to lift more weight. The finished pitchfork is screwed onto an elm stalk. I have used it very often with us in Zaragoza.

    I would say the reason the rake snapped is because the rake was not properly heat treated/tempered. Mass produced products seldom are properly heat treated and tempered. I don't think the cost of the tool determines quality I can forge a rake charge 100$ for it and still be a total pile of crap. And I can forge a 15$ rake and be the best in the world. Great video Post 10.
