EPIC Beaver Dam Removal!

[@cindymoody712]

Not luck, you use your brain and the power of the water to make these dams collapse. And you have the the best record on the internet. You are a master.

[@kenhull1245]

Really happy to see you picked up the electric saw. That will save you a lot of work and time :).

[@petersp63]

I don't think they are Lucky removals! it is because you plan them so well and cut from the bottom! I can honestly say I've only seen one other person make a dam collapse like that and only once! this is your 6th or 7th so Excellent Job as Always!!

[@allanpeters4403]

You're getting good at making them collapse - another interesting video - tks!!!

[@ylvafrick775]

Good work 🦫. Have a very nice weekend 🐣🐓🐥 Ylva Sweden 🇸🇪

[@markl3893]

Great collapse, no luck involved, you are an expert.

[@rockerforlife194]

These videos are the best! I'm serious! Seeing these dams collapse never gets old! Excellent job my Brother from another Country! You have such a great channel, I'm going to donate! Keep up the nice work!

[@charlespeyersen1955]

It's not luck, but hard work and effort with the knowledge of what you are doing will bring the outcome you prefer. Great job and Happy Easter!! Enjoy your family time together!!!!

[@Omaivo2904]

Wow, another beautyful collapse! Thanks! Love the camera follow the flow :)

[@davidbingham7404]

Awesome collapse Mantas. Just love the way the dam falls in on its self. How fast the water the water drains from behind the dam once a hole has been made. Always enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing in your adventures. David B.,Utah, USA. ❤❤❤..

[@tomztoyz]

Getting high tech with the battery powered saw! Keep it up.👍🏼

[@sheilan6235]

That looked cool when it rolled down!

[@jennifermarcum2231]

I like the way you dig out the bottom. No choice but to collapse . The water starts to bubble behind the damn and run

[@Frankybroadcast]

Wow. That was an amazingly built dam.

[@DD-sp2qs]

You are the Dam Whisperer 🦫 Another great collapse 👏

[@raquelhernandez1733]

Another Kenislovas colapse! Awesome!!

[@martinmarsola6477]

A fantastic clearing and dismantling this day. Extraordinary water flow. Have a great weekend and Easter, and see you on the next, Mantas! 🇱🇹👍🙂🇺🇸

[@crnazareth]

Beautiful. .. thank you for the extra effort and time you take for collapse

[@richardphelan8414]

Well done ,I know it was a lot of hard work

[@maxinefragosa1894]

Awesome dam collapse. You are very talented at that. can't be easy to do or everyone would be doing it. Love your link.

[@timjozwiak2293]

Looking like spring by you!!!

[@karenheartoriginal3783]

Congratulations on your new saw…you’re going to have fun with it & show those beavers how it’s done! 😂. This was a very excellent dam collapse and thank you for the drone views. 👏👏👏💯💯👏👏👏

[@centexan]

Glad to got an electric saw to heko out. I've used a reciprocating saw with a pruning blade on my trees and bushes for years. Very handy! What a great dam removal!

[@rebeccashearer6057]

So relaxing to watch and listen to rushing water. Better than a pill.

[@DougHawken]

Very cool collapse. Thanks so much for your hard work very calming videos in a turbulent world.

[@SuperTijay]

Hi there. Last video you asked for things we wish for in your videos. I would like to see a drone-shot one or two days after you removed the dam when the water came down. Thank you for the videos!

[@tomswindler64]

You did a great job on that dam,way you undermined it was key to success.great video as always.dam had been there awhile.just continue doing what your doing and carry on. I nice to see you get that electric saw,should make things little easier on you when battling all the underbrush that is blocking your way.be careful always.great video as always 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@natalieb.8548]

What a mucky mess! Great results as usual! 😊🇨🇦

[@bethshannon7565]

When you show the dam collapse at the beginning of the video, I don't want to watch the process as much. I like to see the surprise as much as you do.

[@pameladugas5525]

Great job I enjoyed the show

[@veccio65]

those saws are great!

[@elemar5]

I knew one of those saws would be useful and not very dangerous. Good job.

[@HansvanOostende]

Nice Work

[@jennifermorris6585]

I love how you make it collapse. I know you could probably clear the dam a little faster if you didn't wait for the collapse, but then it's not nearly as awesome 😊

[@wardthomas8389]

Why do you leave the large branches on the top of the dam?

[@pethoviejo]

Oh yeah! Another good one.

[@jeffryrichardson9105]

Nice job!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸

[@LordDustinDeWynd]

Hello from Temple, Texas, USA!

[@scottperine8027]

Nice work on that removal,great not good work!!!

[@vickicurline9116]

Awesome removal

[@susanbradshaw8369]

Nice job as always!

[@LynnGorman]

The anticipation of the collapse is awesome!

[@kenjohnson3641]

Very cool

[@NatHill-c6q]

Bloody awesome job 👏 ❤

[@ricardom2627]

yes, an upgrade to the hand saw. perfect for little stuff.

[@stanleymartin1613]

Cool video. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎

[@Philskiw1]

As always good vid

[@maureenball6733]

Well done to have a few power tools to help!

[@DavidJohnson-ty8qz]

very nice collapse😀

[@Della-ih5hj]

That was a good one,..didn't take oo long,..

[@patspc6688]

Glad to see you took my advice and got a saw exactly the same as mine !! Got a fallen tree at top of garden to saw up next, yet every time I go to do it, it rains !!! Global warming stores to much rain in the clouds !! Hopefully dry soon. 😁🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@russjones4034]

A simple trick to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit (not sure if it's dead on but it is very, very close). Double Celsius temp. and then add 30. Notice on video he said it was 12 degrees Celsius or 54 degrees Fahrenheit. 12x2= 24+30=54.

[@kevinthompson5827]

I’ve been wondering for a while if you have ever had a dam collapse on top of you?

[@BB--13118]

Just before you posted about it, I said to myself that you should have one of those battery operated chainsaws. LOL. Nice job on the dam, as always

[@markalan3108]

NICE, back on the collapse game! it seems smaller damn are better collapse then the HUGE dams. keep up the good work

[@YourAdventureFriends]

Nice job

[@beckyirvin2504]

Wow!

[@sonyasmithart9085]

Good job

[@TheOldmanfran]

as always, a great video.

[@theclabednar7750]

Great job!

[@kathleenriveraspencer4136]

nice technique to dig at the bottom of dam.

[@geoffreyrichardson8738]

Great job done

[@maximoapolo7834]

Excelente trabajo debilitada la, base el muro con la presión del agua se cae,

[@andrewpowellnz]

Great job Manthas

[@miroslavbrabec94]

Hoover dam vs Beaver dam - ecology lesson for us.

[@leecogdell652]

Great collapse and it’s one of your best ones!

[@lavina58]

Great job 🙌🙌🙌👍🙂🍀👌

[@katrinkaperkins1852]

Love this

[@AnthondeVries]

very very nice one. no top contender. but its there.

[@petersp63]

Oh Wow my name with the others at the end Thank you!

[@franksabatine9075]

Great collapse Bravo ❤

[@dirtfarmer7472]

I’ve noticed that when you start taking the bottom out of the dam then the top follows, waiting for it seems difficult but you wait, then it goes. Waiting is not easy but it has to be done.

[@chrisgreenway4875]

Good stuff mate 👍

[@lyndonwinter5000]

I think these video's are awesome

[@AlexSmith-gr4hp]

What primitive instincts are being untapped that we feel satisfaction in seeing stagnant water flowing again.

[@Kenislovas]

Yeah..

[@janusznowak2992]

Pozdrawiam serdecznie całą rodzinę 👋👍🇵🇱

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

First! Huge collapse!

[@g.dallasfagan2141]

Me I have you thought of using a cordless pressure washer to remove the mud from the downstream face of the dam?

[@louis-philippearnhem6959]

The slower movement of water created by beaver dams can also help to alleviate drought conditions. During hot and dry spells of weather - such as the 2022 drought which impacted large parts of the UK - the water stored in beaver wetlands was released slowly downstream, helping to maintain local river and stream flows, and producing ‘green oases’ in which wildlife such as toads, dragonflies and water voles could survive.

[@terryhatcher9644]

Skill, not luck. Lucky is when you just about fall in but you save yourself. That electric branch chainsaw sure does speed up the work. What brand did you purchase? Elfa Roberta should have asked the Easter Bunny for one to let you use. I guess she will get chocolate instead. Have a Happy Easter with the Family and eat well.

[@kevinvaughn3715]

Looked like an old dam.

[@kpizzlemynizzle922]

GOOD ONE!! ......WOOOOOOOOSHHHHHH

[@charnydegger3267]

Do the beavers pat mud before adding sticks or does the dirt accumulare because sticks keep water from flowing?

[@kathymostoller2619]

Yo❤u caught on! Lots of us watch but haven't subscribed! I watch KZbin on my Tv & can't leave comments etc. So I got on my tablet & sub. But I watch you all the time! I use to trap Beavers. If you stretch & tan the hide right you get big bucks!

[@patriciafaye7448]

So much mud. Wow

[@alfadoofus]

The electric chainsaw is cool

[@DelightfulGlassblower-sn1xk]

Awesome

[@stevejohnson9717]

Hello from Fargo, North Dakota USA! The trappers in North America almost brought beavers to extinction in the late 1800's, though they made a comeback. Do you do the same area over and over? Where do the beavers go? Do the downstream land owners complain? Thank you!

[@lindseydickerson9888]

just 1 question. Why are you doing this by hand and not with a long reach excavator? You would get so much more of the dam removed and it would be removed in so much faster of a time basis with half of the physical effort.

[@Kenislovas]

I don't have excavator. Manual removal is good exercise for me and I like it more :)

[@nightdweller6446]

Electric handsaws are greatly useful

[@LynnGorman]

That looks like it could be a hard one.

[@jolandavanrijswijk1606]

👍

[@zakglove6536]

Water quality will be so much better downstream now lol. It'll be just like California before you know it.

[@SH4UN3]

So how did you get into this. Was it passed down from your father or another family member or was it something you did as a kid growing up? 🤙😎🇦🇺

[@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakers]

I had an idea. What if you took some PVC pipe, cut to say 6 to 8 ft (depending on how thick the dam is), and just pounded it through the base of the dam, from the upstream side to the down stream side, in an effort to poke a hole through the dam, right through the mud the beavers usually have packed against the base of the upstream side? MIght be a bit tricky to hit the end of the pipe properly, since the water can get pretty deep. It might be helpful to cut the end going through the dam at a sharp angle, so that it doesn't get as easily stuck on branches inside the dam, and you can turn the PVC and try to maneuver past obstacles? I dunno what diameter pipe would be best to create a hole, though... the idea being to weaken the dam more at it's base, and see if this helps accomplish a washout?

[@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakers]

OR! Once you've cleared enough debris on the downstream side of the dam, maybe pound (i.e., with a hammer of some kind, or a shovel) the PVC up into the dam from downstream side to upstream side, to make holes?

[@ragdoll9786]

Always great videos from you. 🥰

[@jenniferjohnson7955]

Epic dam collapse 🎉

[@weedwacker1716]

Question, Ken. Have you ever caught any of the little monsters putting their eyeballs on you an wishing that they could do something about the situation?

[@frankd3024]

😂 … die kleinen Monster lassen sich nicht beim Spannen erwischen.

[@rogerjonasson-l5h]

nice

[@モフモフ-z7d]

The dam suddenly collapsed again.🤓 He was also able to safely escape from the collapse. Maybe..I wonder if I was able to avoid it because the sound of the water changed? 💧🎶→🎵 Quite difficult evasion technique🥷 🦫The beaver's body and tail may be a ruler.📐😏
