Unclogging Badly Clogged Swamp Culvert With Overnight Camera 

When the first plug came out of the downstream end of the first pipe, I actually got excited and said, "Ooh!" out loud. Thanks for taking us along, Post!

The thing I love most about this channel is the wild life, the beautiful countryside and this chap driving about without political commentary just keeping it simple. Thanks mate, keep up the great work

Beavers going around, adding ribbons to branches to warn of Post10 being in the area.

Going around in the forest and not seeing other people for 5 days sounds heavenly. Thanks for bringig us on your trip, Post!

Thank you so much for these lovely videos. I'm suffering from depression and your soothing voice and the lovely scenery are helping me cope with it. I watch all of your videos - they are so comforting.

I can literally hear the beaver coming back to the pipe for the fifth time with another branch just to find all the other branches have washed through and going "aw, rats" 😂

Seems like, when you are having to poke your rake handle through a stout blockage, might be wise to carry one of those steel plumbers probes, the ones they use to jab into dirt to find pipes and such. Those would go through the mud with a bit more authority than the handle on your rake. They are pointy, sturdy, and carry more momentum per poke. Great vid and good job, Mr Post10, sir.

Those little beavers are most industrious, clever little creatures. I just love them to bits ❤

You 🫵🏼 are such a really decent human being. THAT’S why we love this channel.

Good catch with the butterfly. They've become so rare where I live that you only see the occasional loner here and there. There used to be swarms.

16:45 When some of us commenters mentioned a “poking stick” to help locate pipes, we didn’t mention the rake, because it’s not the really effective locating tool. A metal stick with a point and a T-shaped handle (almost like the rake, but pointier, and solid), to stick vertically into the ground in various spots, until you go through dirt and contact the metal of the top of a pipe. It’ll give you more direct pathing of the pipes that are hard to see, on the side you need to dig out. That way, you know exactly where the end of the pipe is, when you poke along the top until you stop contacting metal, and also learn how far down the top of the pipe actually is. Poking through and making sure you’re going into a blocked pipe is a good use of the rake handle, but for culverts you are absolutely lost on, a stiff, pointy, metal rod of any kind can push down into areas you suspect the pipe to be, and locate the exact end you need to find.

A 72 minute video?!? I’m gonna grab a drink and enjoy this 😄 Thanks post10! 👍🏻

"Guys!, when did this happen 😮" like we were right there and just didn't tell him 😂 Most immersive channel on youtube. I actually felt guilty for a sec 😂

We've fallen and we can't get up! Thanks for saving us!

Those pipe barfs at 7:36 and then again at 7:52 on camera 2... Glorious!! Made my day!

Why is this one of my favorite channels on RU-vid? No politics ✅️ Learn new sh*t about beavers ✅️ Someone showing a passion for something ✅️ Instant replays ✅️ And last but certainly not least, absolute edge of your seat commentary ✅️

That clip of the beavers at the end really gives you some insight into why sometimes they build right at the mouth and sometimes they build deep in the pipe. They probably always start at the mouth and as the water moves their clog, if it gets stuck again part way down the pipe, they probably just start stacking stuff in wherever the clog moves to. I wonder.

I went to a fishing came with my girlfriend that's about 150 miles north of Lake Superior. A road to the camp is an old logging road that's over 100 miles long. We drove for over 5 hours without seeing anyone. The wilderness is beautiful but, if your truck breaks down, your in trouble. No cell service. At the camp there's no internet, TV or radio stations for many hundreds of miles. If you want to listen to a news or music, you have to bring a shortwave radio. We were listening to a shortwave broadcast from Texas.

Beaver's: "They see me Building🦫 they Hatin" Post 10: "Fetch me thy Rake"

Enjoying watching an unblocking video on a bank holiday in uk. You do great work and go to exceptional lengths to keep us entertained. Ps. Spring has finally arrived and we are having long sunny days.👍👍

You ever think about putting a waterproof camera and light on a float and sending it through one of the culverts?

Your working hard again post 10 there were definitely block those culverts but your the man for the job keep safe and best wishes Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧

Once when we lived just 7 miles down a country road, my husband had 4 deer to jump out and hit our car and once his truck. This is in Tennessee and over a 25 year period. They loved him for some reason. I never hit anything the 25 years we lived on that road but he totaled 2 vehicles. The last was a 13 point buck who hit his new truck from the right rear up the right side and over the hood. Poor guy ran but not far. He actually had hoof prints in the side of his truck. Great job Post. You are the most interesting young man on RU-vid. Thanks for all the info and great videos. ✌🏻🤍

Think some body should point out to you that the plastic pipe is probably the best of the smaller capacity culverts. 1, they don't rot. 2, they lock together and seal when joined to extend their length without leakage. 3,they are not ribbed on the inside like the corrugated, so no where for branches etc to trap. like the one you were unable to clear, the main problem is the lazy sods installing them too close to the road,, (load) surface, same as the steel corrugated pipes. All the steel pipe needs is for the stones or the graders or something to scratch them and they rust. All culvert pipes need depth below the road (load) surface so that the weight of vehicles is dissipated to the sides of the trench. Even in this video you came across steel pipe that had holes rusted through, what do you think would happen to your car, if you ran over that section of road. Think of the number of Steel corrugated pipes you have crawled through that have been ready to fail through rust. Tin corrugated culvert pipes are the cheapest of the three options, Concrete, Plastic and Tin, that would probably be the only reason they are used I would guess.

Your video reminds me of when I was in elementary school in the 1960's & we would see reel to reel films. We all would be excited, knowing that much of the class time would be taken up by the film, but we would see all kinds of nature films, along with international places & history. If our teacher was in an extra good mood, she would rewind the film so we would see everything backward. That might not seem too exciting or fun to todays students, but we got a good laugh seeing people walk backwards, etc. Thanks Post 10 for sharing your adventures in the wild & wide open spaces of New England.

Every time you get near a culvert pipe it reminds me of the video of people fishing in Florida and a gator suddenly appear, near a culvert pipe. I know you don't have to worry about that but it still shakes me a little.

Your enthusiasm is contagious, I love watching your videos

Your photography, staging, editing and narrating skills are impressive

Looking at that swamp, I was thinking what an amazing jigsaw puzzle that would be. Another great post. Thanks for sharing.

Great footage of the beavers trying to rebuild. Thank you for your gallant efforts out there in stopping the floods across the roads. Love your vids.

Looks like you're having a lot of fun. Awesome video. Thanks for the long one. 👍

You're videos have been helping me through one of the hardest times of my life. They make me feel peaceful and safe

I just love your videos post. Calm, interesting and hella satisfying when you get a good blast going. Thank you for all the hard work you put in and it might be weird but thank you for using 'we' and 'us' like we're right there with you ❤

In case no one has mentioned it, those were light-load shotgun shells. Here in Minnesota, they're used mostly for upland game birds such as ruffed grouse, woodcock, or partridge. Not sure what someone would use that sort of shotgun load for, where you are.

Enjoyed this upload, and the view from the tunnel was great 👍 Thanks Post 🕊🇬🇧

I don’t know why it’s so much fun to watch this. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Your videos are so relaxing to watch, I struggle with anxiety and i find that your videos calm my nerves!!! This particular video was so satisfying!!!

This was certainly a very very interesting unclog. I'm really happy to see you using a helmet for safety also. You do a wonderful service. I think that you should do freelance work for all the highway depts. that you help. They should be paying you for your work and your inspections. I've never seen anyone with more knowledge than you about water tables, drainage etc. God bless.

so so impressed post , i love the enthusiasm you have with what you do , your a star my friend .

You should consider using some drone footage which would let you go into areas you can’t get to by foot. I think it might give us a good perspective along with the second camera you implemented in the last couple of years. Love the videos by the way.

Love your videos,good clean content.

Absolutely love the New England area. Went there many years ago. I would really like to go back again!

Amazing difference! I love watching you. Hugs from Canada 😊

I love the way you put another camera at the point where the water will come out. And we see the muddy water come first. . . then it gets stronger. . . All great videos!

You ever think about getting a roro rooter type machine and just run it through the beaver clogs? Love your videos. You do a great job. For sure would not be me in that cold water. Thank you for sharing your videos. God bless

7:35 big clump of debris goes through 9:35 "the incident" 10:30 recovery 13:31 number 2 15:40 rio tinto 27:07 extra footage 29:00 the race 59:50 internal blockage 1:02:35 beavers 1:10:40 overnight camera

When you were trying to do that pipe that you suspected to be pinched and could not get flowing much, have you thought about getting a periscope so you can see under water and see what is blocking the pipe/how badly it's damaged, could also be a cool video to show what a blockage looks like when it's holding back all that water

You need a flashlight to shine in the open end and take a look at the clogged end and see how bad it is. 22:17 just shine the light in there and have a good idea of what is going on.

19.00 WOW!!! I'm surprised you missed that loud male tree frog brother😲😁🤣❤️

Most wholesome channel on RU-vid.

Another really fun video!! Thank you for posting this content!!

Post 10 for president!

I LOVE your videos thank you so much for all of your hard work, knowledge and time 🏆🏆🏆

Hey Post, I don't know that you get time to watch much yourself with all the videos you're putting out but when you talked about Northern Canada it reminded me: Theres a great walking documentary by Adam Shoalts (Alone across the arctic) where he crosses Canada solo hiking and canoeing. I think you would love it!

Those blasts on the first pipe where awesome!!!!

Another great video. Keep up your good work. Definitely invest in some overall waiders for deeper waters.

Thank you so much for all the effort you put in your videos. It is just totally awesome to watch. Without a doubt my favorite YT channel!

23:34 Howdy, is that a Viceroy? ty, les

you do such a good service :) thank you

Just curious how responsive the road maintainers are to your ribbons. Do they go "Crap, that Post 10 guy has been out here again!" or do they go "Nice! Someone found the culvert problems for us"

Absolutely lovely area, you're right -- would be lovely to live somewhere where you just don't see that many people. The more wildlife (including the algae and trees and bugs and such!) the better :)

Hi mate and wife I am watching your video right now and I love watching your video right now keep your videos coming can't wait to see you again Terry from uk Eva baby xxxx xxxx xxxx

your videos are fab I love wstching what you do thanks xxxxx debbie from uk xxxxx I understand what beavers do and I know they do good things to block things up and help the land to soak the water. Here in Britain we have just started a reintroduction of beavers they are letting them go in areas, I don't know if you have seen any of the news for britain in that there have been afew years and in some places they have been flooded year after year rain and snow. River severn in the same places over and over Cheshire which surprised me and also Scotland which I could not believe. Beavers are only allowed to be released in Scotland eith a licence which I think is brilliant I just hope they will help. thanks Debbie uk xxxxxxxxx

Hey Post10, I love your videos. It would be good to have an iron bar to work the rocks loose. When I'm moving rocks in a ditch or a creek, I use an iron bar which is probably five or six feet long, but a smaller one would do. You would get some leverage that way and be able to work things back and forth.

Your Powers are AWSOME!

Happy memorial Day to you and everyone else please be safe and careful 👍🌞!!!!

Man I can't believe you're not at even 1m subs yet. I've been watching you for years now.

You asked when your second camera fell over. It was at the 9:40 mark......

It's getting more solid because you've pushed it further in and compacted it instead of pulling it back and weakening it!!!

I like watching these videos while I am falling asleep, they are very relaxing and meditative. There is a natural ebb and flow to all things. Some days you could do anything, some other days it takes everything you have just to hold on. All you can really do is ride the wave, and find solace in the fact that this is natural and normal :^)

as for spent cartridges... you can donate to your nearest gun range and they'll sell the casings they get to reloaders, or get in contact with friends/shops who want to reload shotshells and pass em to them.... great content post

Incredible. I didn't get how you unclogged the thing with an overnight camera. I thought it was from you raking the water.

omg I have never seen a beaver. So much effort and skills

This was actually my favorite video you have posted. Where ever you were it was incredibly beautiful. Want to visit it LOL

Awesome bever footage. It looked at the camera as if to say "let me catch you here again @post 10 mister

You could use a boat hook for the clogs inside the pipe.

Nicely done, Post10!

This is an awesome video, I know it makes a lot of work for you but watching those beavers rebuild that dam in the culvert was interesting. Also, the maple farmers' way of gathering maple syrup was fascinating never saw it done like that. Thanks for sharing. Stay Safe.

This is a science/biology class. I love this. I'm learning so much. Thank you. Blessings from Michigan.

Informative and satisfying as ever. Stay well, post 10.

It's always a good video when he has big high boots on

Why don't the road crew put in a cable that they can use to pull back and forth to clean the pipes? My best to you and yours God bless

51:06 My Grandpa always used to say after he farted, "watch out for those barking spiders!" LOL

11:45 Cool effect at the pipe, I had to check to make sure I wasn't watching at 1.5x

What's the word on the new truck?

Thanks for taking us with you, always interesting.

So cool watching the beaver at the end!

Aloha 🌺🥰🇺🇲

35:44 when you find pipes like those you should go to the exiting end and put the camera in with the light to see how the clog looks for fun

I really love this guy.

Love this video!!! Keep safe, my friend. Have fun too!!!

Can't wait for Storm Drain season to come back 😁🥰💪.

Bleeding Sap sounds like a cool heavy metal band

Those beavers fought a losing fight last night. Nice job. It looks so much better.

Hehe, I have to ask! Did you fart and tried to blame the spider on the damaged timber bridge? 🤭🤭🤭😂😂

Whenever you talk about sleeping in the vehicle the famous tune from the film Deliverance comes to my mind. Another enjoyable video, thanks

So enjoy watching this 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

The beaver is Canada's national animal!

Old D and D solution 'a ten foot pole' required, thank you for your enthusiasm .

I love the attention to detail, post has blessed us with a slow mo butterfly 23:33
