Removing a Beaver Dam from the discharge side of a large culvert 

That was a 53 minutes very well spent. When I first saw the pile of trees, I thought there’s no way... You’re a good man, doing this simply for the environment. And thanks for picking up the garbage. ❤

Absolutely amazing job!

Incredible job. Great video.

Can't believe you took out that much! Great Job! 👍 With these workouts, you could happily dine on pizza and ice cream for the rest of the summer, and never look it. 😊Are there any Carvel's still around up there by you?

Wowww this is the first time I see most of a dam removed from the back part! That had to be extra hard….👏🏻

For safety reasons I wish you would work with a partner, friend, another like-minded volunteer , family, or even a homeless person looking to earn a few bucks and some respect 😮

A battery powered Sawzall is portable, handy, and will go all day.

That was a HUGE cleanup! I have to admit, I think I was puzzling this one out in my brain while you were working. "Can this stuff get to the river?" "Some of this has to be released to the river." "How is this stuff even going to make it to the river?!" You really do a great job in getting down to it and thinking on the fly! Keep doing what you do! 👏👏👏

That’s a huge blockage. I’m so happy you are posting again. Love watching. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

That was literally a Log Jam - wow - nice work!!!

Mr. Wader, you are a very committed man and very determined. Good decision about using chainsaw. Its very dangerous . Very good work. Take care of your back you only got one..

You may not want to take this advice...but. The dam is like a bowl. Water flows into it, but the sticks keep the water from flowing out. I would remove the sticks from the outside of the whole bowl. Then let the pressure from the water inside push the sticks apart. What you did was remove a section of the bowl. So now all the water pressure concentrates on that small area and the remaining wall has little pressure against it. So the remaining wall has to be dismantled by you and not by the water. Just saying.

Great video man. Sun was too bad. I felt bad for your back handling the big branches and trees. A chainsaw will be nice. A smaller battery one. Stihl and DeWalt have them. They can get through quite the thick log. Save your back and muscles man. Cheers. As always thank you for posting. 👍💪🥂🍻💪👍

Hi best friend why cant you use a large crane operator machine to pulls out those heavyest logs with a winch metal cables on it with a hook 🪝🪝

You put a shift in there,its not as easy as it looks,picking it apart,hope your channel gets a lot more subscribers.keep up with the fantastic work you do in your community

Nice job, lots of hard work!! You did a great job and cleared that blockage out nicely. Thank you for helping maintain the river for that community. God bless

Thats alot of hard work on such a hot day.Didn't think you could do it,thats a big log job, but you did it great job. Thanks for sharing and be careful, i thought you were going into the river a couple of times.

Wow! Great clean up! You sure can find them! You kept saying you were going to call it but you didn’t! What an effort!

holy crap. you would need an excavator for all that mess. 😱😱 also, i believe there is big blockage downstream because flow is weak.

Wow, that was a lot of work. I’m exhausted watching you.

Well done brother fantastic job post 10 woud be roud of u for gettig through that mess i proud of u sticking to it so well done.stay safe and as always see you in your next video.

Someone would have to be nuts to use a chainsaw while standing in a moving creek/river on uneven ground, one slip and their goes your leg or your life. You’re doing a great job, slow and steady is the safe way to go. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

That was an amazing clean up! I’d come help in a heartbeat but I’m sure I’d quickly find out that the work looks a lot easier than it actually is.

Great job done to clear a lot of that blockage. Those were some big trees rather than bits of tree in the clog, the heavy lifting looked like tough work at times. Camera was well placed to see the slowly increasing flow as you gradually cleared all the debris. Enjoyed watching this video.

What a job you have there!!

Actually I think you did real good on this,..just when you want to give up,..you make a good breakthrough ,..I would say a job well done,..persistance does pay off,..because there is a lot of big pieces,..

There sure were some big tree limbs. I could feel you busting your hump on some of those! Great job again! Stay safe and stay healthy! Thanks for another terrific video!

You had your work cut out for you on that job...if anytime you needed heavy equipment that was it....maybe a small chainsaw would have helped....great job 👍

You can see the height of the water by the mark on the overpass. That spot looked difficult and dangerous to work alone. I'm also wondering if you know what's downstream, all that debris can just make it worse at the next chokepoint.

Superb work there. That was a monster and you put a huge dent in it.

Great job amigo. You definitely arent afraid of hard work! I gotta say though, that GoPro is ass in the sunlight!!

That was a lot of hard heavy work! well done to achive it alone.

I would use my hands to remove most of the sticks/ branches. Much faster

Wow what a great job you did. First sight I thought you wouldn’t be able to do it. The more I watched the more I appreciated your stamina in sticking at it. 👍🏻

Так это же твои дрова, которые ты о правил в плавание когда покрышки разбирал на бобровой плотине. С другой стороны реки. Сам себе что-ли работу создаёшь , а потом героически преодолеваешь.👏👏

AMIGO....VAMOS COMEÇAR NOVAMENTE. PRIMEIRO....PARABÉNS PELO TRABALHO...É MARAVILHOSO O QUE FAZEM. VEJO VÍDEOS SEUS E DE UNS OUTROS CARAS, QUE FAZEM A MESMA COISA. AGORA, NÃO ENTENDA COMO UMA CRÍTICA NEGATIVA....É UM ALERTA, EM CIMA DO QUE EU VI....PARA MELHORAR. OK, O IMPORTANTE É QUE MESMO DE FORMA DESORGANIZADA, SEM UMA SEQUÊNCIA LÓGICA, CORRETA, FAZEM TUDO, TERMINAM O TRABALHO E PODERIA ALEGAR ISTO, POIS O IMPORTANTE É TERMINAR...MAS É TENSO VER A FORMA PICADA QUE FAZEM. COMEÇAM UMA COISA, UM LADO, UMA PARTE E NÃO TERMINAM....PARAM E VÃO FAZER OUTRA COISA E MINUTOS DEPOIS, VOLTAM NAQUELE QUE COMEÇOU....ENTÃO PORQUE JÁ NÃO FAZER DE UMA VEZ, SE IRÁ VOLTAR NAQUELE LADO ??? NÃO ENTENDO O PORQUE NÃO EXISTE UMA ORGANIZAÇÃO, COMEÇAR E TERMINAR UMA COISA DE CADA VEZ E NÃO FAZER PICADO, COMO FAZEM. DÁ VONTADE DE IR ATÉ OS LOCAIS E FAZER, POIS É MUITO ESTRANHO A FORMA QUE LIMPAM ESSAS MADEIRAS. OS CANTOS, NA PARTE SUPERIOR, POR EXEMPLO, CAVUCAM UM POUQUINHO UM LADO, PARA, DESCE OU VAI PARA O OUTRO LADO, PUXA ALGUNS GALHOS, VAI ALGUMA OUTRA COISA E LOGO DEPOIS, VOLTA E CAVUCA MAIS UM POUQUINHO, AQUELE PRIMEIRO LADO QUE COMEÇOU E NÃO TERMINOU. ENFIM, SÓ ACHO QUE DEVERIA PEGAR UMA LADO E TERMINAR ELE, NÃO FICAR PULANDO DE UM LADO PARA O OUTRO....É COMEÇAR E TERMINAR UMA COISA DE CADA VEZ. APENAS ISTO....ABRAÇOS E PARABÉNS PELO TRABALHO !!!

No mud at all really on upstream side. Just a huge blockage by big trees then small stuff filling it in ?

Wow, this is like an adventure for me to watch you. You also do the sawing. Why don't you use a chainsaw?

Hi, thats a lot of wood. camp fire wood. Great Job on this one. you should try to put a handle on that and put your wallet in a plastic bag, zip loc. Looks like a hot day there.

Thank you for anther great video🎉🎉🎉on a job well done. Stay safe.

Great video, thumbs up, and you have the short waders on for this big project

Another great job. Soothing to watch you work and see the difference you make

Now see if he had a battery operated saw change all that would have gone a whole lot quicker and you wouldn't have to do it by hand might one invest they're dude

Wouldn't it be easier to do some of the bigger stuff by hand than with the rake?

Need to invest in a quarter saw nothing big just something you can use on them trees to get it cut down and tear out quicker

Little chainsaw would of worked better cut in small pices and let it go

Cuz, you remembered the saw. You are game on ! Thanks.

I guess the Koch was tree finally surfist the water to say hello🤣

Looking more like flood debris not beavers

Great job on that one! Handsaws and Axe are a lot safer there than Chainsaw.

An amazing job, looked impossible todo, but really 👍👍👍🫶🙏I am so impressed love watching the videos, greetings from Grandpa Pete from France 🇫🇷,

Looked like there was some bamboo in that pile.

That was huge blockage! Were the big logs from the beavers as well or humans not cleaning up? I really enjoy your videos.

that was some beaver busting.

Thought about using a kayak?😮

Dang son you put some work in! when you 1st started I had my doubts great job and thats good little saw.
