UNCLOGGING CULVERTS! 05/2024 NT#45

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.

    8:10 Why do put the branches up above the culvert on the road side? Surely they're just going fall back in again by the wind caused by a car going past? It also looks a mess. Otherwise I find these videos strangely satisfying.

    I think that first one has been rusted out so long that there is erosion under just about all of to some degree. You have seen what can happen if that goes on long enough. Do you know who you could report it to? That would definitely be “a stitch in time saves nine.”

    Tim from the Way Out West channel here on YT says that Briars are a meat-eating plant. He says that animals like sheep get caught and cannot get out. They die by the plant, and it then gains nutrients from the dead animal. What do you two think?

    I don't want to be a negative Nelly but.... I was disappointed to see that you're now not picking up the trash before letting the water go thru the clogged culvert. And I noticed in the pass couple of videos that you're now showing the footage of when the culvert is unclogged. I think you should speed up the footage because it just seems like you put it in that way to make your video longer. You didn't do this in your older videos. I really do love your videos.....but I sure do miss seeing your Daddy! Y'all all crack me up.

    We understand. We aren’t doing it to make our videos longer. We have gotten tons of comments asking to see the exit view bigger. They are sped up as well. I have them at either 8x or 20x faster than normal. Even if we left the exit view out we would still be putting out 30 minute videos. We still pick up trash as much as we can too but honestly we just don’t have the time or space in the truck to pick up everything. We do the best we can but we are only able to go out one time a week. Sorry if we have disappointed you.

    @@culvertsandmore No matter how much or how little you do, as long as you're making an improvement, no one should be criticizing you, ladies!!! They should speak to those who litter. Or they could figure out the cost to their town or city of picking up litter and debris tossed by their residents. Then publish it, post it or make a billboard reminding their neighbours that each property tax payee is paying for someone to pick up their litter and/or the litter of their neighbours. I made an educated guess (I worked for our city and every Fall and Spring I would spend at least two weeks picking garbage. When I worked in Parks we picked up litter in every park every time we went to cut the grass. We also picked along all the major roads before every long weekend from May to October (When we cut the grass along the roadsides in the urban area). My educated guess was made about 20 years ago when our city had approximately 850,000 in the urban area. The cost of picking up litter and debris, including only what the Parks department covered was over CAD$6 million per annum! BTW, this is after an annual 'blitz' called "Cleaning the Capital" which asks residents to choose an area to clean up, register with the city and the city will bring bags and pick up the full ones, plus any articles too large for the bags. If you haven't deduced it by now, I live in Ottawa, Canada. I spent weeks doing what these generous ladies do when I worked for the former City of Kanata (Now part of Ottawa) back in the late 90s. You deserve recognition, not just on KZread but from your state for it!!! Give yourselves the biggest pats on your backs!!! And now some applause!
