“ANGRY KAREN” Stops Me From Unclogging Beaver Deceiver Culvert System

[@foxriverbushcraft2345]

Hey Folks And Welcome Or Welcome Back 😊

[@grandpajohn3455]

That is normal daily maintenance 👍 that system needs to be unclogged and properly flowing to prevent land erosion she doesn’t know what she’s talking about, and it looks like they never do maintenance there, you did a good thing helping out fox 👍 just don’t go to that area anymore they don’t deserve your hard work 👍❤️

[@user-fz8ep5ey4v]

I would be tempted to just ignore this woman.

[@Tbird1549]

Great way to handle her! Thanks for another informative video!

[@outdooradventures3161]

Wow your doing a great job helping out the area and community and then you have people like this Karen stoping you from doing a good deed, keep up the amazing work Fox 🦊👍 love your videos ❤

[@joeschmitz5008]

Karen and Darren be dammed😂😂😂😂

[@peterdopson9193]

2 right gloves, no tripod and a Karen, your living The Dream, native plants is probably the term you were looking for.

[@cerithomas2032]

You can't help some people, leave her to it , let her deal with it when it goes Pete tong (wrong). I'm sure there are many people out there that'd be grateful for your help . 👍

[@13Nagash13]

The only way to shut those kind of people up is to have signed printed landowner permission to do the removals. With that in hand you can tell them if they dont stop interrupting your work you will have the police come out.

[@oldirtybeuner]

It might be better to communicate with the people responsible for the conservation before taking any action. That can prevent a lot of misunderstandings and trouble.

[@annamaesawyer7482]

To communicate with these people would require them sending people out to inspect the problem then have meetings to discuss the problem. In the mean time more flooding and erosion. Great job Fox, keep up the good work. Blessings from Canada 🙏❤

[@fransinyard891]

Hey there it's Fran Fine! Lol! Some people just can't mind their own business! Sorry you have to put up with people like that! Much love from Henderson Ga USA

[@dww2006]

There is one in every crowd. I have no patience with these privileged idiots. I sort of wondered if you ever ran into one of these do gooders. It’s like the guy on Kenoslovas who gets people complaining he’s damaging eco systems and endangering animals. Maybe they need to read a book now and then. You guy are doing good work. Keep it up. 🇨🇦

[@dirkster42]

It's as nice to watch you just talk as it is to watch you do your unclogging!

[@lpschick7237]

Did that suck. Would have been cool to see that all cleaned out. I would find out who’s in charge of that & see if they mind you going to do that free maintenance for them. If she shows up again tell Karen to go play in her sandbox all by herself.

[@stewartmackay1218]

just another woman on a power trip lol

[@damilitantone]

The dam still needs to be unclogged so if you need to speak to someone go ahead and do so because I'm sure that everyone commenting wants to see you finish the job. That's a whole bunch of water being held back and it would be interesting to see how much you can reduce the water level. Tell Karen that your channel is getting folks interested in conservation and instead of being an ass she should appreciate you bringing attention to the problem. Plus, I think that they might be receiving public funding and may get some donations and contributions out of the deal.

[@patriciasutton8655]

Wonder if Post10 would see this and think ‘this is why I work in the wilderness.’

[@user-uf6mb6bd3z]

dont let KARENS ruin what you do but of all the beaver dam videos ive seen you are the first with a Karen congrats

[@chrisduprey7283]

Whatever entity that constructed that drainage system did so with DNR approval and with oversight in both the design and construction process. They put a lot of thought and work into the debris guards protecting the drainage system because they wanted it to work. You were just doing the routine maintenance that is required to keep the area functioning as designed that Karen's group is apparently neglecting. She probably gets paid or her group receives funding for maintaining the area and she's mad you documented her not doing her job. I would contact the DNR to see who's responsible for that area's maintenence. If it's her, they need to find somebody better.

[@1cplpat]

Sorry for that guy but welcome to our world !!!! Keep up the good work.

[@alisonbareham6631]

Thanks for another great video. Is there someway you can report them for not looking after the land and get official permission to clear the problem. Look forward to next videos and update. ❤❤❤

[@MzKari]

Thanks Jonathan & Thanks Karen for ruining the day hopefully next time here Karen will join the efforts of the clean up

[@joeschmitz5008]

next time this sort of thing happens, just ignore them. the idiots might call the dnr or police. but your not doing anything wrong.

[@chunt241]

There's just some people that always think they are right

[@R118GSiVVC]

Silly cow! You were just trying to help Jonathan, good on you!!

[@kingkong7617]

Tell her to mind her own damn business and keep her nose out of your business!!!

[@Bobal27]

I prefer asking them to call the police. See what they actually do, or tell you, before you do any work there. Then you’ll have an idea of whether or not you should help them, or not.

[@zes7215]

wrrrr

[@emilyshaffer2299]

Wow...just wow

[@MaditaFin]

Please go back and unclog this despite the Karen. This looked like a good one!

[@andrewgrant6516]

I will concede that you need permission to do the work, if she concedes that she needs permission to ask you if you have permission.

[@hennies9509]

Super Karen is coming in for the rescue (using the music of Superman 1). Go home and be a mommy to your children or kittens 😅. I am so glad I did not have a mother like her.

[@KatherineUribe-1]

She fell out of her tree and bumped her head.

[@patriciasutton8655]

Tree probably kicked her out

Just ignore it and finish.

[@randyhartel1558]

Keep up the good work.

[@bobschwartz8807]

I agree the job needed to be done, however without permission from the person/persons in control you exceeded your right to do the job.

[@WilliamHartley-ng8je]

Was that a rather large fish in the flood pool behind the fence when you first started your video?

[@kavarican8024]

this woman will than the land flooded ? OMG

[@kavarican8024]

in 2 month is this land under water and this woman say, COME and help me. and we say, NO help your self

[@kellyburns5032]

Was she acting in an official capacity? Was she a paid employee? Or a volunteer? Or simply a member of the general public? In any case, getting permission from the entity that oversees this conservation area would probably be a good idea. I hope you do that and go back and finish clearing those drains. People could use some education… the woman on the video needs clarity and the land could benefit from your efforts.

[@kattengat2]

She’s just unhappy because nobody’s tried to unclog her beaver.

[@kellym.]

How did she know you were out there. It didn't look like anyone was around. What a Karen and I'm being nice. Talk to someone higher up than her

[@lt.guppypatrollt.guppypatrol]

fromnow on, just tell them you are working in a srainageissue,dont mention beavers

[@andrewpaige6571]

We’re you able to finish the project ?😊

[@foxriverbushcraft2345]

No I just left the area didn’t want any problems 😊👍

[@christinewilcox121]

Don't engage with them.just do what you came to do .turn a deaf ears 😅

[@petersp63]

Beavers are widely considered to be ‘ecosystem engineers’, which means they have a large impact on habitats and species through the alterations they make to the physical environment. Beavers can provide a range of ecosystem services. These include ‘provisioning ecosystem services’ such as increased ground water storage, ‘regulation and maintenance ecosystem services’ such as flow stabilisation and flood prevention, and ‘cultural ecosystem services’ that relate to people’s recreational, educational and spiritual interactions with the environment. They can act as agents of natural change and restoration. These all contribute to human wellbeing and have socio-economic impacts. Experience from Scotland and abroad has demonstrated that, overall, beavers have a very positive influence on biodiversity. Their ability to modify the environment means that beavers not only create new habitats but also increase habitat diversity at the catchment scale. Their impacts are dynamic and change across space and time. The mechanisms by which beavers change environments and affect biodiversity include creating ponds and wetlands, altering sediment transport processes, importing woody debris into aquatic environments, creating important habitat features such as standing dead wood, creating coppiced stands and unique vegetation structures, and creating successional stages such as beaver meadows. Beaver dams will impede the flow (quantity and velocity) of water in a channel. Beaver dams therefore increase the in-channel storage of water. By increasing the amount of water stored in a channel or on a floodplain the effects of prolonged periods of dry weather may be lessened. By slowing flow, and therefore reducing the speed at which intercepted precipitation passes through a catchment, beaver dams can increase the length of time taken for a flood to reach its peak and reduce the height of the peak. The dissipation of energy associated with flows slowed by beaver activity will result in increased channel stability i.e. less erosion and deposition and therefore less lateral and vertical movement of the channel. Beaver activity may therefore result in the development of natural flood defences. Beaver ponds also trap sediment acting as a filter and improving water quality. Just Saying Maybe Karen is right on this Occasion!

[@mnomadvfx]

That depends entirely on what the conservation area was supposed to be conserving. Areas left specifically to beavers are usually marked by signage so that people don't rip out their dams by accident. It's more likely that Karen was the one in the wrong - and even if she wasn't, the way she went about it certainly wasn't what I would call appropriate to explain it. Also beavers do not "act as agents of natural change and restoration" in general, that is a POSSIBLE side effect of their actions only. Generally speaking they create dams in drainage channels for farming fields and other places where the flooding will wash out roads progressively causing massively maintenance demands. It's fine when they are doing it well beyond the realms of common human habitation and farming, but everywhere else they are just pests simply damming up water to avoid predators, to say nothing of shredding local tree vegetation. Sure they create wetlands, but in so doing they destroy arboreal regions in the process.

Nope, she's wrong and so are you.

[@excession3076]

The important word in this long screed is "overall". Underneath this sweeping assumption is the fact that in smaller, local areas they can be and are destructive. Destroying local important habitats and bio diversity. Now it's pretty obvious in this video that whoever created this particular conservation area, (and probably at considerable cost), want those drains to work. Nobody would go to that much trouble building those structures if the long term aim was just to flood the whole area by allowing the drains to block. From Scotland? Oh purleese. They have a few beavers and have already had to relocate some because they caused problems. It's just the latest obsession, the latest fashion. And never underestimate the opportunity for virtue signaling for conservation brownie points and, most important, funding. Just read the report to the government, estimated cost £850,000 at the beginning of the trial, actual cost at the end £2 million.
