Beaver HQ: Well done everyone… we’ve finally managed to build a dam so big and strong that no humans will ever be able to destroy it - not even if they bring in a giant excavator! Beside that, it’s way too hot at the moment for any of them to even bother. This is our greatest victory ever and we will go down in history! Later that day, one man arrives alone and shows them what a true hero with a pure heart can achieve! Post 10 reigns supreme.
As someone who lives in Coastal Georgia, where 100+ days are normal in July and Augusst, I'm asking you to please be careful. We only do outdoor chores before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. when it's cooler to avoid getting heat stroke. It was a cool video, but your safety is more important than showing us cool stuff.
I work in route pest control out in Atlanta. Outside, sun all day, high temps. I leave the truck on at all times with the AC blasting to take a break in between customers. I cant even imagine how hot other workers must be without that crutch
How you looked at that mess and thought “Maybe…” instead of “Oh, _hell_ naw!” is beyond me. I almost got heatstroke just *watching* you clear this dam. Kudos for tackling that monstrosity!
@@DamianWise oh my friend firstly no they definitely do not have better things to do sitting in council meetings etc and then also he's talking about the city employees that are supposed to take care of this stuff...
@@DamianWise Maybe you're right. They have so much important things to do that they decided to prioritize whatever they're doing than a blocked canal that can potentially flood the whole street or town.
I definitely share the sentiment of wanting to use the bonfire method. My parents employ it to deal with cleared brush/limbs/vines on our property. I would be hesitant about burning in place considering the heat shock potential to the masonry, the ecological and legal concerns of burning in a waterway, and the uncontrolled nature of that fire in a drought vs controlled bonfires in normal weather.
Firstly, watching your videos, I definitely get why you warn people not to emulate what you do; being trained and knowing how to safely and correctly do what you do is extremely important. Your video also highlight how one person can just take half an hour and start fixing a problem that would normally take the city days to even consider starting. Another great video. Hope you're staying well and safe out there!
Love the unclogging! The thought of several decades of silt and muck build up coming loose and heading down stream was a bit unnerving. I'm glad you chose not to do it on your own. 😇 Will be anxious to see the 5-6 month checkup. I wonder if "Idiot with an Excavator" will find their way down there and muck it all up! Thanks Post!
Electrolytes ( in powder form ) in your big jug of water will help you keep from having heat stroke, Post 10. With all the sweating you’re doing, you are losing electrolytes and just drinking plain water is not enough. We as subs., are always concerned for your health and well being! Keeping you in our prayers, as always. ♾🙏👑🙏♾☺️
As a long-time viewer of your videos you should know that you are the formula other drain and culvert clearers are compared to. You are the MacGyver they desire to become. Thank you for your hard work. My favorite videos are the city street drainings.
Very new to your channel i come across you about a month ago. Literally prefer watching you than paying for Netflix. It's just relaxing and interesting. Us British people could never cope doing what you do with that much heat. I'm looking forward to seeing you unclog blocked drains so I'm praying for rain for you. :)
It's amazing, you do all this by hand without the use of an excavator. The size of the dam/blockage doesn't seem to phase you. You just start with the top loose stuff and work your way down. My hat is off to you. If you're not getting paid for this, you should be.
Nice video Post10, I think that this one is an accidental ASMR video. The sound of the stream moving and the sticks hitting the ground, it's making me sleepy. Ya' know what the BEST THING about work is? I can watch it all day long!!
A good job well done. I must admit I hadn't realised how big these beavers are until just this week I saw some at a zoo we went to. They're massive. No wonder they clog up culverts with so much. But Post 10 you're always there behind them. Thank you for the great videos from over here in the UK.
2:40 Good gosh! That thing really is huge. 11:14 That reminds me of cleaning out my mother’s house after she died. My siblings and I (4 total) would work all day getting rid of, and packing loads of stuff only to turn around to see four more full days of work - and that didn’t include the closets, drawers, bathrooms, refrigerator, and the big furniture. You’re a beast Post.
truly amazing Post, don't let yourself get too sick over these things work before 6 AM to 10:00 am and after 7 PM nobody wants you sick with these things, and I'm quite surprised nobody has even told President Biden about you and had received some award for rescuing these little community problems that can seem little, that can grow quite large.
that debris pile actually needed an excavator, but you handled it like a boss. my guess is you removed about a ton of clog. ton, because they were waterlogged.
Great culvert. Amazing how much you cleared. So glad you had that drinking water. If the DOT ever decides to check it out, would an excavator even be able to reach it?
And I love how he gets rid of the torn Pepsi® box and only a moment later goes to get himself some water; It reminds me of myself having finally beaten my Pepsi® addiction a few months ago and after several failed attempts, also in favour for water, usually from the Artesian Water Well not far from my home 😊
After your mention of, "This is a dirty job" half way through (16:53), I thought it would be interesting to have Mike Rowe do at least a segment of "Dirty Jobs" with you.
Your videos are so relaxing. The sound of water and nature are soothing, but I also get the satisfaction of seeing a puzzle figured out. Keep up the good work!
I am glad that you are doing a community service and doing what the government is supposed to be doing. I am glad that you are going through the right channels. Like you say, this is a very dangerous job and we never know how deep the water really is. Keep up the good work!
Another awesome video. So tense to watch in places, you take alot of risk and I was relieved when you said you weren't going to do more! That said, who else is going to tackle that? Thank you for your hard work
As I watch your videos, the following come to mind: Dedication, determination, persistence , perseverance, patience, simple approach & "stick-to-itedness (sp?)!
I'm glad you're being more concerned for your safety when working on these things, you've clearly gained a lot of experience and expertise. Honestly you could probably do some consulting work for civil engineering firms on culvert design & maintenance at this point. A lot of those folks could use the lessons you've learned from sheer experience!
I really enjoy watching your videos and enjoy your commentary and how well you analyze things. I know you practice safety but just keep making sure you're doing it. Make sure people know where you are and where you're going to be and how long you're going to be there. And thank you for your entertainment.
love the craftmanship of the stonework on the culvert, its better to look at than concrete. Also once you get a headache from being overheated, stop sweating, dry mouth, or almost blacking out these are the signs of dehydration which can lead to heat exhaustion. Of which I had 3 times and took me weeks to get over the feeling of weakness.. That really sucks!! I'm glad to see your gallon of water, I used to drink 2-3 gallons of water a day when I was working outside all day.
Good job Post 10. You remind me so much of myself. Since I was a tiny kid I was naturally drawn to running water and drains. I loved drains, creeks, and even downspouts. I would be really disappointed to see a big thunderstorm go by and just miss us. I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now....I just haven't said a lot. I hope you get some rain down your way. It has been kind of dry here in Ontario as well this summer.
