UNCLOGGING CULVERTS AFTER MASSIVE RAINSTORM! 06/2024

#beaverdam #culverts #oklahoma #beaverdamremoval #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 dam 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.

    The only thing that you can really do is report him to the DOT for negligence in maintaining his property easement by allowing flooding and destruction of road to happen. I noticed several times when you're working and you put the potato take down, it lands with the tines facing up. If you should happen to stumble you could easily impale yourself on it. And you obviously aren't near a medical facility. Just be mindful of how the rake lands, turn it over to face downward and take care of yourselves.

    Things that I like and don’t like about your videos Like: 1- very contentious about not blocking what is being recorded. (Many people could learn a lot from you) 2- do a great service to your community 3- like the small talk between both of you 4- creative regarding the use of home made tools to get around issues that are a problem. 5- evaluate the situation and solve it in a logical manner 6- aware of your personal safety. Getting sucked into a culvert pipe is not a good time 7- not doing something stupid, then have someone copy what you did and get hurt. 8- including family members as they pop up in a video, guess granny is back north. 9- maintain your personal privacy but share a few bits of information general location, what Jen does for a living. This is a hard thing to balance and still build a viewer connection. You don’t want to have everyone show up for dinner some evening. 10- humorous in a nice way. 11- I can watch them with my 7 year old grandson and not worry worry about crude language or inappropriate jokes 12- I could go on but this is enough. Things I don’t like: 1- I can’t think of anything in particular at this time. 😮 Keep doing exactly what you’re doing Ladies . No changes are needed.

I don’t know how many muscles I pulled. It felt like he was a hundred pound sack of potatoes pulling me down! It sometimes hurts to breathe and it kills to move, period. Tylenol extra’s not working well today. Why are you so far Jennifer?? 🥹🥹 On the other hand, I have never seen a turtle with a tail like that one…got me smiling in wonder. Take care you two! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

    I think you need a mother-in-law persuader also known as a crowbar to maybe help bend up those metal culverts when they’re collapsed in. The crowbar is a lot stronger than the stick at the end of your potato rake.

    Did you contact the owner of said fence and get them to undertake a re think of their fencing ideas? Being a bit sarcastic if you get my drift. Also how far does the county own from the edge of the road till the owners fence line starts? As the county road owners would also need to know as per damage to their road and culverts by said water and restrictions caused by so called fence.

    That culvert with all the pallets looks to me like someone who doesn’t want to spend any money so they just find stuff to use. That doesn’t mean they are poor. I worked for a woman who had literally millions in the stock market but would just take pieces of paper towels to clean something up. She had a kennel with about 20 toy poodles. One day she went grocery shopping and the next morning we found one of those roasted chickens they sell at Walmart that didn’t get put away with the rest of the groceries. The dogs had dragged it across the kennel floor and chewed on it. She ATE IT and expected me to eat it! She was a legend on the show dog circuit for her miserliness. That was over 20 years ago and she is now retired.
