Hello,
This channel filled up with the water. I was here 1 month ago. I've never seen such a high dam at this place. This dam holds a lot of water behind and affecting the lands around.
Be part of my future project or support. Thank You very much!

The beaver will have dam rebuilt stronger and bigger than it was when you opened it up!!

[@kra783]

Viewers are very bewildered as to why you do not use a full sized shovel instead of straining with this little shovel? It does not makes sense. Please reply

[@AndyGuinan]

That looks like it could be a problem area that gets plugged up often. I think the best solution would be to get the excavator in to remove the entire central island at that convergence to allow both channels of water to freely flow and to make it a lot more difficult for a dam to be built on that point 👍

[@Kenislovas]

excavator would be a good thing :)

[@erniemathews5085]

That dam is dozens of cubic meters: an enormous amount of work. Your clever, efficient approach is always a pleasure to watch.

[@Kenislovas]

Thanks!

[@mandydavidson6694]

Always a joy to watch you work and lower the water levels. Take care Mantas. 😊💫

[@ernestTbass23]

Wow great job! Thank you for your download of your video. Blessings to you and yours

[@richardphelan8414]

That is a huge amount of water to release ,it's very soothing watching these huge water releases knowing the power the rushing water has

[@billrobbins5874]

Be careful always, that water is powerful. What a release!

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

I wish you all the best with your videos. Please be careful and stay safe.

[@harrybutler1828]

There sure is a lot of water laying in the fields. Hopefully it will drain so the farmers can get the seeding done. Good job.

[@markleonard-pe3os]

That was a great drone flight as well as dam break!!!

[@mnomadvfx]

Lol those cranes honking at 29:58 scared the stuffing out of me listening on my headphones 😂🤣😆

[@Kenislovas]

:D actually I was shocked too :D

[@randalljames1]

I have no idea how long it takes you to pull one of these dams but it is easy to see you go stick by stick until it falls... very fun to watch..

[@ceeceearmstrong5165]

Beautiful place I love how that farm is built that structure is amazing god Bless you always 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@centexan]

Wow! What an amazing dam! This was more than dam busting. You drained a small lake. And you were very smart to only open up one portion of the dam. You could have overloaded the canals if you had used an excavator and released it all at once.

[@fiegenfiegen]

This one was huge! Thank you!

[@Geolog66]

Great beaver dam opening. Very satisfying to watch!

[@bobjoncas2814]

....LOOKIN' GOOD, GREAT JOB, KEEP SAFE

[@laustpeternielsen-norman9569]

It's so cool when a dam breaks down like this

[@imtyazuddin8151]

I was also going to ask the same question, but Louis did it earlier than me.

[@connieeberle5862]

Great view of your removal of the dam.

[@jasonlawler8350]

Definitely will need to keep on top of that so the beavers don't dam it up again

[@sheilarowan8664]

Fantastic work as always ❤❤😊

[@jeanned3167]

I think that was one of the coolest dam openings you've done! 👍

[@harrietmason1693]

Sometimes mother nature does her job and gives everybody a hug 😂 it's not ready on you but we all need homes

[@Salutimondo]

These are not natural streams, they are man made drainage canals to swiftly drain water from the low lying fields. Otherwise the fields get swamped and are unable to produce any agricultural crops. Then all you'll be hugging is a scrawny skeletal body that has no food to eat.

[@noemisartcorner841]

Well done and relaxing 👍🏽👍🏽

[@donaldcason163]

Great job Mantas! Water flow was a hazard on this one. But of course you still defeated it!!👍 Look forward to seeing you in your next video! 👍🙏❤️🇺🇲

[@trinity806]

Nice shovel work! It was very satisfying to watch you widen the channel! 👏

[@Kenislovas]

You are welcome!

[@lynnegackstetter2779]

Do you know how long it took me to build that?? Signed : The Beavers 🤭😁

[@charleseddy9903]

A heck of a flow of water.

[@katrinkaperkins1852]

I love to hear the water flow.

[@jamestboehm6450]

I like how you used the side current to the main stream. Still a very large amount of water and a very strong flow out to the canal.

[@mariagdaws6083]

Very nice to listen and watch the water rushing down stream Thank you for your hard work Good luck reaching 100 videos in a row 🦘❤️❤️❤️

[@kellym.]

Yay! you saved the fields. Glad you didn't try to stand in that rushing water. Thought for sure you were going open the other side but one side worked well. Is that drone footage before and after? Doesn't matter, great view

[@Kenislovas]

Yes it's before and after 1 hour.

[@rgoers]

Oh, it makes me so happy to see the top of the dam collapse like that! You made my day! Widening that channel was a good idea as that is what is making the current so fast. It is like a nozzle on a hose. I would have also considered opening up the other side of the dam just to get some more water flowing. That said, you did a great job on this one. That really is a lot of water there! This one would be interesting to come back to the next day to see how much it has drained or if the beavers have done anything.

[@thims1961]

Ditto! Just about to post the same thing here. The only thing I'd add would be cutting the tree in the middle down(it's holding the dam together) & tearing out more of the back of the dam

[@martinmarsola6477]

Another fantastic dismantling today. Extremely great water flow. Enjoy your weekend and see you on the next. Cheers Mantas!

[@mrhot6shot]

Great job man, but I would have opened up the other side to double the flow. I jus wish I was young enough to roam around with you. I would wait downstream to film what happens when you break the dam.👍👍

[@deineadam2240]

Thank you! Great job!

[@patbarlen2764]

Well done. Huge dam huge release.

[@winstonsmith8441]

A lot of hard work. Does the wind ever not blow in Lithuania?

[@Kenislovas]

Yes :) just now wind quite strong..

[@ruthbutler7984]

It looks like the dam was very wide at bottom. A dirt dam usually wash out but the twigs and grass in it seemed to keep it together even in the current. Thanks for sharing

[@michaelkstone1912]

Thanks for sharing, love to watch. I never knew there was beavers outside the USA.

[@Kenislovas]

A lot of!

[@CharlesShorts]

Biggest beaver dam in the world is located in Canada

[@rameshshankar1010]

Is there water accumulation thru out the year ,or if there is a dry period the muck cud be cleared easily then if there s a possibility like that.

[@allanpeters4403]

Seen you do this one before - you could chose which side to open - its a big dam. Love your vids!! That was a good one - a big rush of water - wow!!

[@JudyHart1]

Please get a waist strap for your waders, if you fell, you’d drown before you could get them off. It doesn’t take long at all to drown, faster than you can imagine.

Very nice work I love it we’re is this place looks very relaxing thank you for sharing that video God Bless you 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Kenislovas]

You are welcome!

[@rustyiron]

The more sticks you remove before releaseing the water the easier it is to remove the mud. The depth of the breach is more important than the width.

[@Kenislovas]

Welcome back John! ;)

[@nevilleenglish]

I agree. Use the higher water pressure at the greater depth to get better flow. A deep trench is the aim.

[@andrewbodor4891]

To solve the problem of the beavers rebuilding the dam, do this. After the water is mostly gone, place sold length of plastic corrugated pipe about twenty feet above the dam with the bottom end at least thirty feet below the dam. The beaver will try to rebuild the dam in the same place but the water will continue to flow out of the basin. Soon there will be a beaver meadow.

[@jeffreywhite4962]

worth the wait !! 👍

[@josettesciberras1613]

This river is never ending

[@user-yo2zs4xo2f]

Now that's a cleanup, adding more width to this canall should make it more difficult for the chubby rodents to block over night. Mine you they do hold back water that does seep into the ground which helps nature even while it harms the farmlands. Another fun video to watch, thank you.

[@randy6650]

Tremendous work ethic Mantas. Keep up the good work , here's to you reaching 100 consecutive videos!

[@Kenislovas]

I had to stop in 33 video unfortunately.. Weather conditions was really bad..

[@harrietmason1693]

You have to clear downstream because you are creating new dams for the beavers to start anew

[@Kenislovas]

There’s no any dams downstream.

[@maryannanderson2213]

I loved seeing you cut a big chunk off of the dam and then watching the current carry it away. The beavers who built that dam had a LOT of water backed up. I would love to know what country you are in. I just found your channel and I'm now a new subscriber from Nashville Tennessee USA.

[@Kenislovas]

Hello! I am from Lithuania! Glad you liked videos! welcome!

[@kat8canary77]

I love the drone footage! What are the channel banks made of? It looks like hay?

Dead grass, reed :)

[@beckyirvin2504]

Dangerous current. Take care.

[@ricardom2627]

For a second I thought you found a squeaky toy in the water...😂😂😂

[@Kenislovas]

:))

[@kenyh6695]

When you cut into the sides like that YOU are causing erosion too! was a good video too though.

[@tepidtuna7450]

You could also try a beaver pond leveller to control the height the water gets to and save yourself from the work of pulling down dams often.

[@jeffreywhite4962]

Thanks!

[@stephenfriday1352]

Once you had water flowing on right side you should had made a cut on left side to bring water down then move between them pulling them down

[@eddykirksey8836]

Nice video!

[@Steve-dr7rr]

Good job but open the other one then they might not be able to build again due to current

[@charleseddy9903]

That excavator or backhoe would have been really handy, How you doing on that?

[@Kenislovas]

Fundraise is going slowly:) but still it’s my next step:)

[@davidbingham7404]

Great job and video, love your music and drove covers of the area. I bet it will take a few hours before you can see a big difference in the water level due to the fact you have two main stream's coming together. ❤❤❤.

[@elvenking62]

I always wonder if the beaver ever jumps like wtf? When he’s in the middle of destroying its house

[@hank_6324]

You should get ahold of Post10 so he can get the rakes you have. They seem of much better quality

[@Kenislovas]

This rake is made by me :) You cannot buy the same one :)

[@irenedavo3768]

Good job!

[@DavidFraser007]

It will take hours to lower the water level, but it's going down.

[@gammerr82]

Looks like you did right thing there. I would like to seen more wide on right side n other left n center gone it’s just not practical. For your safety keep working on on side not back n forth as much

[@eduardomontes1276]

How many beaver dams have you removed since winter came?

[@Kenislovas]

~50 I guess

[@normanzurich2781]

The Boss 👍😎😎😎

[@LJB103]

Good job, but with that much water, why don't you open both sides of the dam?

[@Kenislovas]

It would take 3 days. :)

[@lisavilanova1184]

​@@Kenislovas just out of curiosity why would it take three days?

[@gravelydon7072]

My thinking also. Open up the second side so that the level drops faster. And the first side would meet the second and cut down on the cutting that the water will do into the bank downstream.

[@nelsonfisher7151]

I would have opened up the other side instead of this side so the water would flow fast for longer because the turn slows it way down

[@suekrape61]

He don't want to open all them both sides out all at once old really flug the town if it's you want you want to do it slowly like he's trying to do so you don't flood the drain at the other end that's what he's trying not to do he's trying not to overload the ditch that's why he's doing it the way he is so it doesn't flood everybody

[@KenSiefert]

I’m curious, beavers don’t usually leave without a fight. Did they try to keep rebuilding?

[@user-rc6ws4xo4q]

😆100%

[@user-giobevi56]

Hi Kenis. Why did't you open also on the other side of the dam, to drain with more speed? I like your work! gio

[@Kenislovas]

Hi, There was a lot of water, so anyway it would take a while until it will be drained till the end even with 2 sides opened. Thank You!

[@porker5749]

Just outta' curiousity do you do these clearings on public or private land and do you consider the possible consequences of letting that much water go flying downstream? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a dam burst as much as the next person, I just hope that no one gets hurt that has the misfortune to be close to the river downstream while you unclog!

Poor beavers have so little medium to work with!

[@Cabo_TheManFromCaboWabo]

11:55 Unfortunately current is speed of the water but it actually lowers the volume. It’s a trade off. More volume means less current.

[@Raymail-tj4cf]

Wasn’t that a dam on the other side also? It looked like it in the video.

[@Kenislovas]

There was some several dams too! ;)

[@katrinawreggelsworth8806]

I suppose you have no issue with drought or your water table. People are reintroducing beavers to make dams and hold more water in the ground for better farming. Looks like you just let it flow away. Hope you have enough this summer.

[@DockJockShorts_76]

Way to be Thomas huck!!!

[@kenwilcox402]

Beavers could rebuild the little you did there in one or two nights. They should be cleared right out but check with locals first. Some are allowed to let be for wildlife. Some even cause ponds to establish. Try finding out who owns the flooded side of the dam before taking any self action.

[@kenwilcox402]

PS when the water is the same level on both sides of the dam you have cleared it. You also need to go the full width of the river.

[@mnomadvfx]

Looks like the left channels feeding the dam has lots of spurs of mud and trees which are probably slowing the current flow down quite a bit. Plus the 2 reservoirs visible feeding the right channel are probably a whole lot to drain even before the fields are considered.

[@Kenislovas]

Right.

[@richardcline1337]

WHY didn't you open that smaller channel, too? The beavers would have a harder time rebuilding with both of the channels flowing.
