UNCLOGGING CULVERTS/LOW WATER BRIDGES. MASSIVE OUTFLOW! 06/2024 NT# 49

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.

Jen is in such a fabulous mood in this video, love to hear you laugh! Looks like a beautiful day to be out doing this fun.
Love when Lucy joins you!
I love seeing, and hearing, when the clog finally lets go!
I love these low water bridge videos, I could watch them all day, thanks for another great video :)
Well done, ladies! You ROCKed it 😉 Another great video ❤
I feel so bad for Jenns knees. I have not seen you use the extension rake to clear out culverts. Neither Dads rods. The rocks you take out to make the culvert flow get replaced by other rocks. I feel bad for that. An excavator is badly needed to dig them out. Cheers ladies. ❤👊💪👍👊❤️😊
This was an awesome video, some great uncloggings. Poor Mama, she tries so hard but you are definitely the culvert whisperer Jennifer. 😂
You have to do what can do ❤ love your videos
You did a nice job, and I like the idea od the dual cameras. :) Waders became handy again.
That was practically a boulder at the end. It was seriously impressive to see Jen pull it from the culvert.
Thoroughly enjoyable to watch and I convey my gratitude to you both once again. Great effort on all fronts. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🇬🇧
You go Jen!
You girls are wonderful……thank you for another great video and all of your hard work……love your channel ❤
Good video Supervisor Miss Lucy,Kim and Jen !!! 🐾🐾
Great job ladies ❤😊
Aww poor Lou she was all tired out….you ladies did a great job getting down and clearing all those rocks out💪🏽
Another good one today. Awesomeness with you two love watching you
You guys are so sweet love to watch ypu guys
Well done again Mum & Jen x You shifted some pretty big rocks todayn❤❤
I just love y'alls commitment... Be blessed and stay humble...
Hi Jennifer be careful Getting down on those rocks good way to get arthritis in your knees I already have two knees that have been replaced
Aloha 🌺 Wow Jen, the rock you pulled out was massive! Good job Ladies! 🌺💐🥰💖
Great job as always!!! Keep them coming
Estou amando os vídeos de vcs! Lindo! Um abração aqui de Porto Alegre RS Brasil
Just in time for my lunch break!
Awesome job Ladies👍🏼
Good day ladies. Enjoy watching your adventures. You do a wonderful job and wonderful service. I am not about trying to tell you how to do your job, but hope you allow for suggestions. When certain situations arrive, think about this and see if you think these could help. Shovel for which mud removal. Rope for large limbs that will do wonders for large limb removal. Many Thanks for accepting this comment from a 79 year old man who has some experience with what you all do.

Shovel also in smaller gravel. Rope can help with larger rock too.
Hello there! Finally got to watch this. This morning, my son dropped off his teenage daughter so I could show her how to do some Italian baking, mom’s recipes precisely and he picked her up a little while ago with bags full. This post was very peaceful…thoroughly enjoyed it. Take care you two❣️ 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Ladies, small tip; carry a can of orange spray paint and when you find the culverts, spray a line or a v pointing to where it is.. This will help you on returning to clean later.
☀️Hi another very good work so nice to see. Ylva Sweden
Just wanted to ask, why not use a shovel in front of the bad culvert 's. I'm proud of you all. You're both brave. You make your courageous drive look so easy. But I'm sure that it's not. Admiration 👏
Excellent job.
Have you thought about spray painting a little line on the road where the entrance culverts are for your future visits once you have located them? Awesome job❤
super effort with those rocks
Yeah! You posted! Hi from Michigan.

Hello 👋
Kim didn’t really get her win today, but there will be other days. Thanks for another great video and Jen, I hope you hands were okay for your job! 🙋🇨🇦🙋
need to do a tag team at the same time to see who can get their culvert unclogged the fastest
First! 👋 from Germany
How about a measure tape? When you have found one, then you can measure the distance between the culverts on the exit side and then measure from the first one the same distance on the inlet side. Should make it easier to find the second and/or the third one.
Please watch video. Love that dog and you both!!
Watch out for this crazy Oklahoma heat wave.
Jen is the master of the giant rocks! Kim is the master of sweetness. I've got an idea. I'm not trying to be bossy or tell you how to do your great work. But can you use that pink paint to paint an arrow on the road to mark where the culverts are? Maybe for the culverts you frequent and are always hard to find? It popped into my head, and I thought I'd mention it.
You can update your Amazon wish list with the kneeling pad, and maybe other things you might need. Who knows what might happen. 😉
Can I once again suggest shoving the long pole in the exiting end and pushing to see if anything moves? also Mum I was a bit worried at one point when you were cutting the tree by culvert 3 the saw was actually aimed at your leg! I don't want to see a river of your blood!! any how great watch and nice to see Lucy's face for once lol
Lucy so cute and curious. 😅
Nice unclogging ! I wonder if you make a scratch mark on the pavement with a rock or screwdriver to help find some of the hidden ones if it would help find them faster.
May I suggest you get a pin pointer metal detector as it is small and you would be able to find the end of a metal culvert faster.
😘❤️
Great video girls, any more ...? Locating the upstream entry to the culverts can clearly be challenging. Have you considered putting a dark dye into the water and watching if it indicates an entry point into the culvert ? You'd need a little patience and undisturbed water of course . And maybe kneepads sometime before Christmas ......? Regards, and good luck

Good morning ladies, thank you for the 💓. It's often said, work smarter, not harder. I've noticed a few comments suggesting you paint an arrow on the bridge indicating the direction of the entry to the culvert. If you add a number to the arrow showing how many feet away this removes any guesswork doesn't it, and a couple of short pieces of metal rebar hammered into the ground in front of the culvert opening should prevent the ingress of large stones and other debris, and leave anything easily removable. If you profile the approach of a channel into the culvert with a spade, this will accelerate water through it with the likelihood the stronger flow will take much of the smaller debris with it. Sorry, one more suggestion. If you feed a set of drain rods backwards into the culvert from the upstream side of the bridge and attach a suitable hoe shaped blade to the last rod, this could be pulled through and limit the need for you to try to reach into the pipe to retrieve anything. It would be a simple job for your local welding shop to create a hoe shaped attachment for you, and the rods would easily fit in the truck. Treat yourself to some kneepads. Best regards
Jennifer aka Rocky.

Too bad you don't have a flat shovel to dig a bit of a trench or to remove mud build up. easier on you gals. I would be terrified with those trucks. Move your truck well over with Lucy in it. love that Lucy
😊
Hi ladies. Hope everything is good with you. Are you two not having summer this year - your temperatures seem very cold for late June?
I like your videos so much better with a stationary camera

Y'all need a shovel to dig out some of those buried culvert pipes instead of using your hands. Your gloves will last longer.

we have one but the sound that it makes against rock on camera is torture so we try to spare ears.
These 72 year old knees can relate to your 40 year old knees. 🙂
I wonder if Jen's fingers and hands are strong enough to remove those rocks or vice versa.

She has pretty strong hands from being a massage therapist for ten years.
I thought the suction was going to pull your glove off at the low water bridge
Would it help to carry a few different sizes of plywood to put a temporary block on one culvert to increase pressure on the blocked one ,and when it’s clear remove temporary block

Jennifer you must not lie about your age, there's NO way you are 40 you look about 33 only. Well done for taking care of your skin with moisturiser and your morning routine. Whatever you are doing it is working well.

Some of those torn up culverts look dangerous. Ya'll be careful around those, if you don't want stitches and tetanus shots.

We have a watermark and I post it as a continual caption. That has helped people find the real us but short of that there isn’t much else to do. If we comment and tell them they are stealing they block us. 🤷♀️ they do it to all content creators and believe me it drives us crazy as well but until Facebook stops stealing our information, they aren’t going to care that someone else is too.
If it makes it easier why don’t you have a third person to film and also watch your dog ie traffic etc etc while unclogging it was a suggestion that’s all to help you two ladies out
I always wondered why many of your roads and bridges are in such poor condition...they're logging roads...which makes more sense.🪵👍
