Massive Beaver Dam Drained Almost All!

[@QuentinStephens]

Don't let the pooh-poohers get you down. You are young, fit, knowledgeable, and experienced, plus you edit the videos to remove the boring bits. The rest of us realise how much hard work you put in.

[@priestley749]

Many as is the MAN.

[@priestley749]

That was Mantas.

[@NeneFecat]

Kenislovas I hope you ignore and block the mean ignorant people that criticize you. You are doing great and I enjoy watching your videos! ❤

[@MikkellTheImmortal]

To anyone who says this is easy; Go out and find a beaver dam that you are allowed to remove and give it a try. I did and I discovered that it is hard, stinky, exhausting work with little to no reward other than personal satisfaction at a job well done. Mantis has been doing this for years and probably knows more about beaver dams than 90% of the viewers combined.

[@rogerdudra178]

Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. The beavers teach you much.

[@h60memo]

Anyone that thinks this kind of work is easy hasn't done any significant manual labor.

[@maureenball6733]

It's clear to see the physical effort that goes in, then the knowledge required to get out of the way at the right moment. Sometimes needing agility!

Great save for the camera 😊

[@johnlaforte700]

You are doing a fine job, those negative responses are not appropriate for the work you do on and off camera. 👍👍😊

[@JuanitaHundley]

😳 so much water!!! This area would be a lake without the dams being removed! The farmers are having crop trouble, I would imagine. 👍

[@bobseldestagain]

That was a tricky one, collapsing faster than you expected. Glad you didntblose your gear!

[@priestley749]

Love u tube spell check NOT!

[@jeannewheeldon6796]

​@@priestley749I watched another video earlier can't remember what about, but someone had wanted to spell the word use but you tube spell check put youse. Hurt my brain for a few minutes to work it out.

[@panmastergod]

Such a service to your local farmers !! Always exciting action !!

[@DUDEPERFECT007]

Awesome video, you do your work perfectly at at the same time you wait for the collapse for us to watch, great job bro ❤❤

[@bobseldestagain]

Amazes me every time one of these dams gives way, regardless of how you get it done, the channel gets opened up so the fields can be recovered for planting or harvesting. It's not easy work by any means. Speaking from years of personal landscaping experience, working in the heat, cold, rain, wind, it's all hard on the body. If you're like me the joy is in the work...good for you living your dream!

[@johnhaerle3957]

Keep the videos coming. Great content to watch when its slow at my job.

I ❤ when the grass islands go over the dam. Takes a lot of current.

That is a lot of hard work to give us the perfect dam collapse. Thank you 😊 Thank your wife for sharing your time with us 🎉

Jeesh, this one was holding back quite alot of water. Nice work. Keep hittin them beavers hard

I love to see the dams give up! 😂 They know they don't stand a chance when you arrive. I feel tired just watching you work. Awesome job!

[@catherinelasalle3487]

Wow!!! That was a fast collapse!!! Great job Mantis😎

Mantas,that was a little unexpected,lot of water built up.great job as always.just keep doing your thing.be safe.😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@BB--13118]

Now that you've mastered taking down these dams, you're going to have to work on training them not to collapse until all cameras have the perfect shot. LOL. Keep up the good work.

[@mattgriffin8383]

I keep waiting for the day where he has to put one back up. :)

[@patspc6688]

You should have shown a bit of you sawing the trees down and dragging them away, so people appreciate the work involved ! Lot of water again ! Well done. 😊🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Good afternoon everyone hope you are having a good day. Greetings from the USA. Good job stay safe. How is the house going.

[@008Birdman]

Anyone who hasn’t moved a 2 meter mound of dirt then cleared branches and trees say it’s easy. Those who have done that work knows how difficult it is. Great work, Mantis! Nice collapse.

[@roberta7280]

Fantastic

[@rockerforlife194]

So. Much. Water! Love this one also. Such a great video. Keep up the great work, Mantas. You are doing such a great job with the videos and, with the farmers in these areas who want to keep all the water out of their fields, crops. Again, great job! 👍👍👌👌

[@jlfullmer325]

I would love to visit your country someday. It is so green and beautiful!!

So beautiful & exciting to watch, thank you✌🏼🫶

[@acdallas6356]

Well, it would have been exciting to go hurtling down the canal with our little tripod legs in the air, but I know you're glad you didn't lose your camera! 😺

[@tomlernerjr5083]

Good thing you didn't lose your camera. Nice job as always.

[@ripleyleuzarder630]

I spend most of my time cleaning up my landlords property. It was a mess and lots of sweat, not to mention 10lb weight loss OH WELL. Now its all clean and I see your videos every week. I love your Dam Video's Have fun and the video editing is kool...See if you can trap a Beaver and sit it at his dam watching you take it down. Then let him go and see what it does...Leave a Camera with some kind of motion detector "Vision Systems" used in Pharma/Food production That tech has been out since the 90's

[@shirleyanneyoung955]

You’re never going to please everyone no matter what you do or don’t do, there’s always going to be someone who isn’t happy. Just concentrate on making yourself happy because if you do that it will come across in your videos and make them more enjoyable for the majority of people. If you try too hard to please others you’ll stop enjoying what you do and that’ll spoil things for you - and those of us who love your enthusiasm. You’re doing great!

[@davidbingham7404]

Mantas great video. Was really excited that you did not lose your camera to the dam collapse, was a very close call if you ask me. Hardly any work done before it collapsed, keep up the great work. You are awesome. David B.,Utah, USA. 💞💞💖💖❤❤❤.

[@brunobarks6544]

Thanks again 👍

[@OnlyFriendsAreAliens]

It isn't easy, but you sure do make it l👀k easy! Thanks, Mantas!

[@MichaelNazar]

Mantas, you should add an extended version of your video's for those of us who would like to see more of the work that you put into each job. Have a regular version and an extended version. You could also create a 2nd channel just for extended versions. Just some ideas to help grow the channel.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

Thank you Mantis for driving so far from your home. You are a dynamic young man who does a very good service for your people. Thank you for showing a good service. Yes this thing collapsed before you had been too busy with it's removal. I think the beavers did not have enough time after the excavator left. This resulted in a quick job for the beavers to fill in the excavator removal. Not sure exactly at what time of the year you removed this but did not seem too hot for quick work. The multiple channels made more farmer discomfort from water soaked fields. Our big tractors are hard to remove from getting stuck in such boggy ground. Thanks Mantis.

[@Kenislovas]

I removed it 2 days ago :) Thanks :)

Hello Kenislovas! I am new, only found you a few days ago. Sorry for being late to the party but I love being here now! I love your videos, your talks and your drone shots! Thank you for what you do.

That’s a big roll Ken very sudden to , it’s looks a very deep down dam holding back an enormous amount of water, great job ❤

[@ABC-o5n]

Damn. You're good. Now the dams just want to come down on their own. 👏 Really nice water flow sound too!!

Let the haters hate. It means more interaction for your channel! 👍🏼

[@RichardKirkwood-j1f]

Great video. Thanks,.

[@BillyGit]

Be careful!!! Don’t lose the camera🙈. Btw in English, we would say you cleared the bushes, branches, sticks and brush (tall grass etc.). Keep up the awesome work my friend👍🏻

[@AwesomeKeris_Mom]

The water does not look nice. Hope it was not too smelly. You did a wonderful job again, of course. Stay safe. We appreciate you.

[@emilyshaffer2299]

Holy wow!! It was very cool collapse but stay safe!!!

[@georgesebastian6306]

Dam busting is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get! 😉😉

[@thomaschapman1164]

at 6:53 I thought the floating grass was an alligator or crocodile. Hahahahha

[@acdallas6356]

I always think I see alligators in these videos! 🐊

[@GigiCathyto6]

I don’t think there are alligators or crocodiles in this part of the world.

[@lindaleal809]

So true! I always look for beavers, snakes, and wild hogs sneaking into the video.

[@stkyfngrszmooth]

This one seemed to catch you by surprise. The best ones simultaneously wash out entirely. It appears that when you remove most of the lower debris, the entire dam comes down not only from left to right but, more importantly, from bottom to top.

[@priestley749]

Great job.

[@junebromley5621]

i don't know why some ignorant people have to say stupid crap . i would like one of them to just try to try just one time .i love your video's you work is hard to do and it is dangerous ,i look forward to the best KZbin Chanel on the planet . stay well and safe my friend .

[@rogerdudra178]

It got hot here in the early part of August, too. You had to run fast when that sucker let go.

[@ErwinMaas]

Lovely video and great job!

[@marythayer787]

You must be part mountain goat! Good catch on the breaking. We know what time it takes to remove all the sticks and mud to get to the dam bottom. People that can.t understand that have no clue what hard work is. Or they just have no patience. Either way, don't change a thing. You are a joy to watch.

[@clivejules6175]

When I watch videos like this, of people doing things they are skilled at, I often have weird thoughts like "well he should just...". However, I am smart enough to know that many of my thoughts are stupid and not worth repeating. If I didn't have those thoughts though, I would know I had lost interest and I would move along. Some people just haven't learned that not all thoughts are worth sharing. Keep up the good work!

[@PastorJamesGillespie]

Roberta you beat me!

[@elemar5]

Is that a request? 😆

[@TomboySue]

Ignore the feedback from the keyboard warriors. So brave in their anonymity. You are amazing at what you do. Cheers from 🇨🇦. We know a thing or two about beavers and appreciate your hard work and dedication.

[@bamafan-in-OZ]

I think those who say it is easy need to look harder in the background of the video at the huge piles of branches removed off camera. They dont just slide out either. Your doing an awesome job mate.

[@Philskiw1]

Ever collapse a downstream dam with the flash flood from one you're working on? Great vid as always, thanks for posting.

[@Kenislovas]

Nope ;)

[@kelvingrebert7315]

another grreat job

[@meintsgwen]

Awesome

[@bernhardpasman157]

Very nice

[@rosemarymurphy5767]

That was a quick clean up moved a bunch of sticks and the water pressure do the rest cool.

[@maureenball6733]

The useful thing is how the initial strong flow can carry away so much of the dam material for you once you've loosened it.

[@joel-l2w]

C'est un métier très dangereux que vous faites .L'effondrement d'un barrage es impressionnant. Merci pour toutes vos vidéos

[@petersp63]

That Dam was like "oh Hell it's Mantas I might as well give up now!"

[@ricardom2627]

Can I suggest a shovel with a longer handle so save your back. That little shovel has you practically in the water when you dent down to get leverage. Great save on the camera.

[@kiwibuilder]

I congratulate you for for dedication and hard work You deserve every dollar you make from your videos CHEERS

[@stacyharvey3554]

Easy!! These people have no idea what they are talking about!! I watch this channel and several other channels that do beaver dam removals, and I will tell you that I would not call beaver dam removal easy at all!! It is long, hard, and hot work to manually remove beaver dams!! I have much respect for all of the people who do beaver dam removals!!!

[@saturnia1146]

So great to hear from people who aren't sure which end of the shovel to hold much less what it's used for. I know you have a potato rake because I recognize it. They think it's like playing with sand. If the 'experts' clued in to what waterlogged soil, reed grass, stones, and wood weighs they'd shut their mouths. It weighs the same as cement with large aggregates. You're stronger than you look.

[@christophermiller867]

A little sad we didn't get the 3rd camera view, but that was a pretty fast collapse! And what a flow!
