UNCLOGGING CULVERTS AFTER RAINSTORM! 05/2024

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.

    I think it is admirable to care and to voice concern. I think it is equally necessary to acknowledge strong independent action by women. Makes me think of, "Nobody puts Baby in the corner."

    You’re spoiling us still with all this great output! Thank you very much indeed for such regular posts, especially when you keep coming up with new scenery. The falls at the end are delightful. You are so blessed to have access to all these lovely locations, but I concur with the input from the ex law enforcement officer; please, always consider your personal safety before your commitment to your viewers here on KZread. Much as we love the volume of your work, I’m sure we’d rather see less and not be anxious about you out there on your own Kim. ❤

    Mom, do you remember when companies advertised by handing out free in-car small garbage bags? Unfortunately, we can't make people use them! I work for my city and every Spring we spend weeks picking up garbage along roadsides AND in parks! Needless to say, I never litter. Besides, how hard is it to take your garbage along to your next destination? Here in Ontario, Canada, for teens to receive their high school diploma, they must complete 40 hours of approved volunteer work. Wouldn't it be great if they had to pick up garbage along roadsides and ditches? I believe it would have an impact, don't you? It's a thankless job because you turn around after finishing a long section and there's already a number of pieces tossed onto where you just finished clearing. Our city is considered one of the cleaner cities, btw. I agree with the others who said it's not a good idea to go out alone! Besides being vulnerable, you work in areas that are often slippery. You risk falling. What if you fell and broke your leg or collarbone? What if you hit your head? Someone once drowned in 2 inches of water. Please be safe. I did love all the new scenery, especially the waterfall. Take good care!

    Probably not a good idea to be out there by yourself. I’d be more concerned about getting bit by a snake than being bothered by people.
