Beaver Dam Removal Unclogging Multiple Culverts | Massive Water Flow! 

I love comments like these! Thanks for watching!

I'm getting lots of practice in! Thanks for watching!

I do.

me too. but Barrett Farms is also nice to look at

jjjjjaaauuuuu...exactly my words to...😂😂😂😂😂😂...i was watching the part and just thinking....dam boy...grab this fucking stick with your hands and pull it out

Same here! I'm yelling at the screen.....GRAB THE STICK AND PULL IT OUT!

All this complaining about the 20-minute mark I had to go back and look for myself! I wish the camera gave a better perspective of the conditions. There is a step slope coming down to the pipe, see how high the camera is. Not so easy to just lay out flat here and reach down there. The branch was about 5-6 feet long extending into the pipe with many little branches catching the grate like barbs when trying to pull it out and the current of the water made it even harder. I will try to do better next though, last thing I want to do is cause stress to frustrated viewers! Thanks for watching!

@Mark Lane agree totally 2 different people

Indeed Post 10 would have. Beavers Know what they’re doing. Have No Doubt.

Thanks, this comment made my morning. Pretty sure it's the first one where I have been complimented, criticized, and insulted all in one comment 😃. I know some of the details of what is going on isn't 100% covered in every video, it would just be a bit repetitive, especially for those that watch every one. During certain times of the year, partial unblocks are intentional for waterfowl habitat. I wish it took a week or two before it became blocked again. Not sure about the potato rake, I don't watch much content from others that do this but when I have it seems the potato rake is the tool of choice. If I didn't live in the south I would be much more care free in the water. I'm not sure who the oh my ladies are but I am totally okay that they are kicking my butt! Thanks for watching!

@@BarrettFarms He’s shortening the name of “culverts, bridges, and ditches, oh my,” but you both kick ass, and he also didn’t pay attention when you said it was too dangerous, with steep, clay banks that would slide you in over your head during high water like this.

So many dangerous elements involved that I think some people either don't understand or just don't care because it's not them doing it. On a positive note, the majority do understand and appreciate what it is. Thanks for watching!

Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Je me suis fait la même réflexion

Sí, durante los meses de invierno a veces intento evitar mojarme.

Rubber boots and gloves I would think of one of basic tools. I didn’t see anything removed from inside the grates or the outflow would have been greater….

The inside of the pipes do need to be cleared. They have debris lodged deep inside the, I have to get the water down some before I can get into them though, but its coming. Thanks for watching!

One thing the camera may not show well is this pipe is at the bottom of an embankment with just the very end of the pipe exposed. There is about 8ft of dirt covering the pipe. The biggest challenges are making sure none of the debris goes downstream for someone one else to deal with, the weight of mud and waterlogged debris, and the intelligence of the beaver.

hello! i did just recently break the 1k mark a couple weeks back. i never realized there was so much animosity to people doing this type of content unless you were post10. post10 seems like the kind of guy that would be supportive and helpful to anyone learning his trade but a number of his follower army is not for sure. thanks for watching!

@@BarrettFarms Animosity?? What?!? Why?!! Jiminy kraut. Just ignore those boneheads, yeesh, they need to do something creative and helpful. Ja, I agree, post10 would be perfectly happy to see you doing your thing, been enjoying his vids for a coupla years now. And I betcha now that the RU-vid algorithms are taking you a little more seriously, you'll prolly see some sped up growth!

Just the thumbnail, let alone the video literally shows that's not true. I realize it might make for better content but not all culverts require getting into the water to unclog. We purposely use the mud we pull out to build out ground so we can stand on and easily unclog the pipe. We try to do what we can to not have to get in the water, especially during warm months due to certain water hazards.

You're probably not wrong, and if he's recording it I'm sure it'll be great.

Yes it is! Supposed to start trapping soon.

😂

They just may, eyes in the back of my head.

Feel free to make a donation 😀

Thanks for the tip! I do catch some of his stuff and have learned quite a bit about beaver behaviors from him. Good stuff!

I don't think my pockets are deep enough for that.

Absolutely great question. In this case, it goes down this large ditch to a bayou. If you're not familiar with bayous they are very good at handling massive and quick changes in water volume if they are not obstructed. The bayou carries the water to the Arkansas River where its just a drop in the bucket.

Thanks for watching! The attire was just to stay warm. Nothing fancy for sure, really old jeans, old hoodie. The coat I was wearing was a Christmas gift from someone that wanted to keep me warm on cold farm days. I will definitely drop layers weather permitting. There is a lot of stuff stuck in the middle of the pipe. The beavers do sometimes go through it and build inside. Sometimes it's just an accumulation of debris that gets through and lodges in there. I have a plan that I think will work to clear the inside of the pipe, but I have to get the water level down before I can get to it.

Sometimes, sometimes it's so stuck in there with the mud and such it is not easy to pull out. Also the grate is helpful for keeping stuff out of the pipe and creating a clog inside it or further downstream. I think I do have one video posted where I just pull it out.

Please

Very true!

I never imagined it would be viewed so many times! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm not sure how I missed this comment, but thank you. I will check it out. Subscribed too!

Thanks. We are always available not just to provide reliable and versatile equipment, but to explain exactly what we do and how we do it so that others will experience the same success that we do. Judy and I are both ready to help. We have many videos on RU-vid that provide on the job training. If you punch in Comstock beaver trap you can view them. @@BarrettFarms

He doesn’t need “tanerite” (tannerite) for these tiny blockages.

I certainly could be!

Thanks for the feedback! I am recording content today and will keep that in mind.

Thank you!

So much water this week I was caught a bit off guard. Made for good flows though! Thanks for watching!

Sorry! I wish I would have had the gopro so I could have got it in there and showed why it wasn't coming out. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! The clay is tricky. About the only way to safely be on it is if it has a partial dam still underneath and you have something to pull yourself out with. I was in some today and it was like quicksand. My GoPro is the Hero7 and it's been okay but definitely had some quirks. I may upgrade soon¡

No, the beaver says "dang those grates are blocking me from carring building supplies inside the pipe so I guess I will build my dam out here on the other side of the grate"

Nope! I am in Arkansas. I bet the beavers are a lot worse up there.

They can create amazing habitats when they do it in the right place, usually away from spaces humans also occupy. In our case they are destructive and really only helping themselves. I think I would still take beavers over some of the other critters you have there! Thanks for watching!

Yep, the earlier in the day that we can break them, the more water we get rid of before they come back that night. In my state, they actually pay you a bounty if you turn in beaver carcasses.

I felt like standing up and slow clapping after reading your comment. I am constantly amazed at what seems like people mad because I'm not post 10 and posting beaver dam videos. Thanks for saying what I can only assume many people are thinking!

@@BarrettFarms You’re welcome my friend. Keep on being you.

I agree, ands it's not just dead ones. The living trees need to be cleared away from the waterways as well. We are working on it but it's a lot of trees.

I would agree. Tentatively looking at trying to clear the inside in the next episode.

I do have some slight mobility issues but the beavers don't care. Still has to be dealt with.

We have a rule around here. Every time someone says post10, everyone takes a drink!

Keeping the dirt built up on the sides works the best. It also creates a smaller channel for the beaver to use and aids in placing traps.

Just the basic potato rake is quite amazing at grabbing stuff, its like having a 5ft long arm!

Back then I didn't have chest waders. This water can be 6 feet deep or more depending on the day. I get in the water when the conditions allow it.

He literally said he wasn’t prepared to do this today, that’s probably why he’s not wearing appropriate clothes.

I'm no spring chicken, but I'm certainly not letting that keep me on the sidelines. Life doesn't always have to be lived like it's a marathon. Take it easy and enjoy every minute! Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback, I will keep that in mind next time! Thanks for watching!

I'm gonna look into building one and give it a try

They are quite skilled at what they do!

@@BarrettFarms They’re Canada’s national symbol of sovereignty.

I'd be happy with just a face to face meeting.

Yes, for sure, I certainly wouldn't turn down a collaboration offer from post10, it would probably be a really fun time!

@@BarrettFarms you know it would because he is mental over culverts and I mean I've seen the man sleep in them but he loves doing it and don't care what anyone thinks God bless you sir and your family my friend

@@mikebaize6971 I have a huge tree next to one of my beaver dam locations that is split at the bottom and big enough to get in. I thought to myself Sunday that post10 would probably camp out in there!

@@BarrettFarms I would just about bet the farm on it that boy camps out in culverts under the root ball of a fallen tree homemade igloos so that tree would be right up his alley lol he really does care God bless you and your family my friend

It kind of is!

That's cool, I in no way am trying to be post10. If you are looking for post10 type content, I recommend checking out the post10 channel on RU-vid. Thanks for watching!
