“BEAVERS OCEANIC BLUNDER” Beaver Dam Removal Awakens Oceans Fury

[@foxriverbushcraft2345]

Folks Welcome Or Welcome Back 👋🏻

[@Golden-dog88]

looks like YOUR oceanic problem…. NOT THE BEAVERS

[@tivvy9708]

You need to get a belt around your waist, it's getting close to seeing your plumbers crack. 😬😅

[@geoffsavage9442]

Not too difficult, carer should have done it himself or use an excavator

[@snowyherge1549]

Beavers are incredibly smart and industrious- great architects- they are government protected in my country and loved! Keep building guys!!

[@rabidcougar6465]

Here in Michigan they are on the nuisance kill list, meaning they can be trapped and killed all year long without a permit.

[@SisterClaraFadia56]

You got to admit it is an awesome work or art and engineering. As a side enterprise you could make walking sticks with the chewed sticks they look so clean of their bark.

[@mikerobb5154]

I think beavers should have their own KZbin channel.

[@Quid2005]

Ahhhh, my favorite spot! Not sure what is more beautiful- the pond or the waterfall

[@oldretireddude]

You need a Jon boat with power poles that would let you work off the back but hold location and allow the boat to change elevation with the water.

[@zoesimpson4680]

Me personally would spend a bit more time on opening more of the dam up coz they will have that area plugged back up in a couple of days with only been a small opening

[@anltacurtis8566]

He's destroying the base, which they would use to rebuild with faster.

[@patrickhartman6818]

Then get out and do it

[@zoesimpson4680]

@patrickhartman6818 i would but we dont have beavers in the united kingdom

[@jensmains5792]

Looks like a beautiful pond

Easy to say when it’s not your property being destroyed.

[@nolamiller4113]

@ if you work with nature you will rewarded . Yes if it was my property I would welcome the beavers and their work . They know how to save the land and water .

[@martinmarsola6477]

Another great clearing this day. Always interesting to watch, Jonathan. See you on the next. 🙂👍🇺🇸

Great job man, thanks.

Wow! That was a big one!!!!!!!

Hey there is Fran Fine! Whoa! That was a lot of water! Great video! Much love from Henderson Ga USA

[@kevinanderson2856]

A job half done...they will just keep rebuilding unless you remove the WHOLE thing

[@timesurfingalien]

Won't matter if you remove the whole thing if you don't relocate the beavers. They will just rebuild.

[@mnmike6884]

It’s not about a permanent fix it’s about getting more video clip time. Wonder why that culvert is there? Maybe erosion control? Whatever it is there for this removal guy ignored it. From his technique, it appears he doesn’t improve as he works on more removals. It’s how I would work on my first dam or two. Bet he has a pet ant camera mount set up and a storage locker nearby for his tools and waders so he doesn’t have to carry them back and forth. Culvert height is already higher than water level after dam removal. Landowner not clear on what height he wants to maintain.

[@deaninwood7786]

​@@mnmike6884 Yep was wondering the same thing about the culvert

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

He sort of told his strategy at the end. It is to keep removing the dam until they move on. He said he did this upstream already and after a couple of attempts, they moved on. This is the last one he had to remove and is only the first attempt. Probably after it rebuilt once and destroyed again they will move on -eventually. More effort but it will work.

[@timothyhorner3152]

It’s called job security 😂

[@donnat6738]

Great job!❤ much love...God bless you.

[@Golden-dog88]

farmer builds pond the complains there’s to much water!!! ONLY IN AMERICA!!! the beaver is just doin what it dose you yanks need to learn to work with them use the water they store to irrigate your fields…. I wish beavers were native to Australia they would help us so much down here

[@steveunknown8407]

If you took a T post and welded some pieces of rebar for barbs and pushed it through the dam hooked it to a four wheeler it would save a lot of backbreaking work. Hope this idea saves you lower back pain! ❤️

[@locker1325]

It looks like you were standing on the beaver dam removing part of the dam. I think Maybe the dam is much wider then what was removed.

[@marski-vv4qb]

Beavers best animal engineers in the world

[@foxriverbushcraft2345]

@@marski-vv4qb Agreed 👍

[@valerieburnett3585]

Wonder what we would do differently if we learned the lessons from the beaver about what hard work with sticks and mud can do.

[@steveunknown8407]

It might put a foregrip with some plumbing clamps to tie it on to your rake ,so you don't have to keep readjusting your grip.

[@R118GSiVVC]

Excellent work Jonathan!

[@78tag]

What does a fast release like that do to everyone down stream ???

[@QuivaRPG]

Excellent video! I just wanted to mention an idea you might like to consider: engineering a dam collapse. Please ignore this comment if you're already aware of the process. Based on watching some other content creators (the channel Kenislovas is a good one) if you dig at the BOTTOM of the dam after removing the sticks, you can often make the damn fall apart on it's own, sometimes in a HUGE collapse of material and rush of water. Many of the dams you encounter seem like they'd be the perfect condition for this, although your your environment is very different. A thumbnail of a collapse, and a title including "dam collapse" is very eye catching as well. Having followed the Kenislovas channel (the creator's name is Mantas) since he had barely 5k subscribers, once he started engineering collapses his subscriber count really took off. He's closing in on 100k now and I think he'll hit it before the end of the summer. This isn't a criticism of your technique! Just an idea I thought I'd offer. I really would like to see your channel grow as fast as his and this might be a way to get there. Keep up the great work!

[@Beefry222]

It's also a potentially dangerous technique and Mantas is putting his neck on the line every time he attempts it.

[@dww2006]

You have to watch how fast he moves when he sees the bubbles start on the other side of the dam. I think he plans his escape route carefully. If you watch him enough you can see he knows where to jump.

[@wallytimmins356]

@@Beefry222 You're right. There's so much water pressure at those dams. If they let, go on their own it can be very dangerous. I've seen two road washouts on HIway 17 in Northwestern Ontario when beaver dams have let go back in the bush. Can you imagine if someone was standing in front of it when it let go?

[@jjjww975]

He should make beaver houses on the side banks .... and maybe they will leave the drain point alone ....

[@sharonkramer2824]

Never knew a beaver dam was so deep and thick

[@alaskan83]

Every thought about trying a pond leveler device?

[@rockerforlife194]

Lots of water coming down from there! Nice job Buddy. Keep up the great work/channel!

[@joeschmitz5008]

this particular dam needs to be widened and deepened further to give the Beavers to leave.

[@MzKari]

My favorite zen spot 😌

[@DMTW]

Leave it to beaver to build strong, massive dams.

[@msTECH86]

They have so much water, but it's never enough. How do I know about this ;)

[@clivehorridge]

If that pond is built by a farmer, he should have constructed a piped siphon overflow / depth regulator. They’re very simple to construct and they stay under the water level, so there’s no visible flowing water which is what attracts the beavers. Nice video though, but it will be rebuilt in hours more than days. ❤

[@thedocisin3204]

I am totally distracted by wet beavers looking for wood.

[@williamwelling4872]

The overflow pipe has moved away from the dam should tell the owner of the property

[@stephenhoward6829]

A ha-stick, a long fuse, over-and done! Boom and gone.

[@Smokedout.]

Push that pipe out into the water about 10ft past the dam area and when they try to stop the water going over it, it will still drain.

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

They will never leave untill they have all trees gone that are within easy reach. Only one way to deal with them and you probably wont do it

[@dww2006]

You need to figure out how to put that culvert back up under the water so it empties the pond and the beavers don’t block it.

[@SixSpot]

I was thinking the same thing. Getting the culvert back in the correct place will maintain the integrity of the whole pond so it doesn’t fail if the water gets too high.

[@robynbryant4274]

Gosh darn I never get tired of seeing a dam collapse. We have a culvert we clear monthly from beavers, but nothing like this...I will keep looking because that looked like it was too much fun!😁

It's going to take that beaver 3 minutes to rebuild the dam. You only move a little bit of debris

The owner should have cleared land on other side . Brought a few loads of river sand in and created his own beach . Perfect swimming hole courtesy of mr beaver and family. Some people just don't know how to live.

[@deborahnewton5455]

No one killing any beavers. But they do cause problems with drainage and flooding sometime man has to undo some of their work.

[@williamcobbo765]

Nearly there

[@anltacurtis8566]

I found your videos on Facebook, but not under Fox River Bushcraft. Are they pirating your work?

[@michaelallen4104]

I have to Google: why do beavers make dams ??

[@timesurfingalien]

I can tell by the comments, hardly anyone understands a beaver

[@Luxion_AP]

Hello!

[@prakashhardeo5895]

You must open the topmost part of the dam about six feet wide and four feet deep otherwise you will be back every week

[@randyhartel1558]

Another good job!

[@janmuyllaert8565]

these guys must be paid per hour ?

[@shawnhulke7385]

That poor beaver worked hard to make an animal habitat for everyone and you tear it down. Just stock it with some of your favorite fish and have a private fishing hole. 😊😊😊

[@foxriverbushcraft2345]

These are man made ponds on the owner property with high water run offs that need to stay clear to prevent flooding, these three man made ponds are feed from a underground water seep through so the water needs to be draining constantly in to the creek to prevent the ponds from flooding over on to the property

[@tHEHEAd1138]

This is why God gave us TNT! 😅

[@johnfiorentino8677]

We have been fighting beavers for 8 years. They plug the pond drains and turn it into a lake. Sadly, there is only one solution. They can build faster than one can tear it down. Maybe one day, someone will invent a beaver proof drain.

[@jenniferjohnson7955]

Another great removal 😊

[@enid0mom]

Where does all that water go? It think the reason they don’t get any ducks for duck season is it doesn’t LOOK like a duck pond with cover in the water like reeds and other water plants to hide and sleep. It should look like a wetland, not a pond.

[@ParraEel]

How long have beavers been in Nth USA Canada? Always green there 1500 onwards because of the work Beavers do. In the future when no beavers, what then?

[@heathboeddeker5401]

The beaver population is so over populated in most states of the U.s.a. that the states have to spend millions of dollars to have trappers remove them every year to prevent highways and roads from being washed out. Not enough trappers to control the beaver population these days because of the animal activists brainwashing people that the animals are more important than humans .
