UNCLOGGING CULVERTS WITH LOTS OF STAGNANT WATER!! 05/2024
#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 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 was sad not to hear one, “Go baby go!” By mom.
I LOVE Granny!!! I love when she helps y’all. So cute.
Post10 must feel really proud to have inspired other culvert uncloggers ! 😊
I don't know when you actually made this, but it was beautiful. Keep up the good work.
Your stubbornness for that culvert was to be applauded, it that keeps me watching ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
Great job! Always good to see Granny!
Aloha 🌺 Kim & Jen, Grandma! Such a beautiful day, wonderful wildlife. Thank you! ,,🌺💐🌹💖
Great work. I understand your frustration with the missing culvert. I admire your tenacity. You just never give up. Thanks for another entertaining video. 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦
God bless you Jen for your strength and commitment
My husband and I watch your videos every afternoon with lunch. We so enjoy your family! The respect for one another and seeing your grandma enjoying nature. Tell mom we enjoy her showing us the changing scenery, flowers and especially walking down the creeks! Maybe show us more video of where the water comes from and where it goes. No complaints, it seems there is too much of that! You all do wonderful work! Its easy to be an armchair quarterback for too many! Looking forward to more adventures with y'all!

Thank you and welcome 🤗
I have to thank you for putting out this video at this time. For at least half an hour, I've been scrolling through the list of videos that KZread 'suggested' and was running out of ones I'm willing to watch. What a relief when yours popped up! I Subscribe but being on a disability prevents me from financially supporting others. I can help you by always watching your videos to the end, so that's what I do. I know some of the work you do is hard work. I know it's appreciated by the local authorities and many members of the public. Budget constraints nowadays prevent our local 'works/roads' departments from regularly doing this maintenance work. Your work can save the local area a lot of money which transforms into increased taxes sometimes, so THANK YOU FOR THAT!

Jennifer, you’re Beast! You cleaned out that culvert. Great Job!!🧡🧡
Total commitment as usual, thanks for sharing all this with us.
That very first stop where Jenn knocked it out of the park. Watcher all of that debris get sucked in & the water being all clear by the time she was done. I could watch that over & over. Just something so satisfying seeing all of that get sucked up. Then again when I use to own a pool & ran the vacuum I loved watching all of the dirty & stuff on the bottom get sucked up. Fun fact. Don’t ever let the pool suction hose grab your inner thigh. I had to stick my finger between my leg & the hose to break the suction & get it off my leg. You want to talk about a perfect 2” circle hickey on your leg….😳🤣.

I love watching the team work you have and knowing your strengths.
I like the way your videos are showing the beautiful streams and the natural beauty of your area . Thanks for sharing.
I see the storms around you stay safe.
Great job ladies!
Jennifer you took that blockage out like you were slapping Mike Tyson around. ❤😂😂😂😂 And he lost badly 😢...keep up the great work.
Love the more recent videos. Since discovering y'all I've been watching past ones. Love the bond y'all have for each other. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
So glad to see you with gloves on today, Jen...good work and maki g memories with Mom.😊😊
Awesome video y’all be safe up there with these storms today
Wow you did a great job and you have a lot of patience
I wonder I have not seen Anny flowers or green grass in the month of may yet.In my country its all green and flowering and I live way up north in Scandinavium.
You guys got your work out in this video. Great team. You guys get the job done and some. 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🤗
My day is complete. Thank you. I now look forward to Monday.
Wow, what a surprise, such a long video. I loved it! Well done ladies! ❤
Love watching you and your mom, y'all are awesome whether you are doing culverts, ditches and the I commend you the most is beaver dams.
I just love the sound of the stream flowing ❤ keep up the good work guys
Wow ladies, excellent video yet again, you do an amazing job every time, well done 👏
Jennifer you are a power house. Well done that is hard work
You guys worked hard trying to find that one hidden culvert…that’s dedication!
42:34 suggestion: lay a piece of pipe in the culvert (from your dads tool) and get the angle of the culvert. Lay another on top of the road at the same angle as the one in the culvert. Bit should point pretty close to the opening of the culvert.
I'm following the news about flooding and tornadoes in Texas and Oklahoma. Stay safe, you guys.
Another good episode. Good job ladies. Too bad "Dad's tool" didnt help this time. I know that one frustrated you.
Great work 👍🏻
Great job ladies ❤
You should have a search stick. It can be made from, for example, rebar of one meter. Jeff can make a mockery loss on one end. You can pop into the ground to find culverts. Sorry for bad English. Uses a translation service.
Mum, you sound like Robocop with your electric blades! 😂😂🇬🇧💜🇬🇧
Family first keep up the great work North Carolina cares
You ladies really need to do a bloopers reel. Lol 😂

There’s a couple things that you could do to find that culvert. Look at the angle in which the pole was going that you were trying to shove through. Another thing is that you could hit the end of the pole with a hammer and possibly drive it through to the other side.
good job Jen, it gets easier i swear:)
I feel your frustration with that culvert that wouldn't reveal it's entrance! I had an idea until you said it was plastic! (Metal Detector) Hopefully you'll find it another day as I think that would have been a good flow! Keep up the Great work!
Have a great day and be safe.
such agreat job
Have y'all had any bad weather up there? I know down her in South Central and east Texas we are have major rain falls and floods. My husband works for the city as a garbage man and they are having to go an hour out one way just to make it to the landfill. The main road from our city to the landfill is flooded. Y'all please be safe up there. Please watch out for snakes it's that time of year. We had one in our house about a week ago. We live in town.

Where I live in Wisconsin, the glaciers ground all of our stone into sand during the ice age. I have ZERO stones in my yard. Every time I see culverts blocked by stones, I almost get jealous.😂
If you think about it perhaps a spray can of reflective paint above each pipe might make it quicker to find in the future... It could save you some time ... Have a great day, ladies

Poke it with a metal rod straight down in that mud. You probably missed it by inches. The tree shadow was going straight across so that could have been an indication too. Cudos for “Dads tool” try.😊

I can't stop thinking about that one that was clogged so bad you couldn't find the entrance. When you got the pole in to it's furthest point, maybe you could lay the pipe on the road in the same direction it was going underground so you might find the area the entrance could be? or at least where the blockage was.

You can tap around too. The mud is kind of lose so might find it a little easier. I'm wrong. Of course.

hi Granny
Post 10 started a niche
hi Dad
It is getting to be that time of year that you will need the Terry cloth headbands to catch the forehead sweat so it won't go into your eyes.
You need a sump pump with a generator to pump it out of the ditch that would work
If you tap or bang 😮on one end of the culvert, will it help you find the other? Did you do the math how many sections of pipe would it take to cross that road?
Do you ever see any fish in the streams? If so what kind? Just wondering!

Can’t you use dads plunger stick and push/pump the other side? That way you might see movement on the other end? 🇬🇧💜🇬🇧

@@culvertsandmore thanks I am in Victoria Australia. In Australia we have a state called the Northern Territory. It covers a vast area of Australia. That’s what confused me. Hopefully you were not affected by the recent tornado that hit Sulphur.
What a great compilation today! That culvert with the blocked end was really frustrating. I would bet that, with some kind of Star Trek physics, you would have had a crowd of us with you looking around for that pipe! 😂 And that buried cable box. 🤯🧐 Hope you both have a great week ahead!
Kim, you really need to drop your potato rake with the tines the furthest away from you. It's an accident waiting to happen.

Not really. Sometimes we do get out where very few people go and it can be a little unsettling thinking about wild animals.

Why put logs etc though culverts to block up further down stream
Maybe it was damaged
Why don't you guys ever mark the culverts??
