200TH EPISODE 👍 Hey Folks And Welcome Or Welcome Back 👋🏻 hope everyone is having a great day today, see you in the next video 😊

What town was this done in?

[@daviddelaet8116]

I imagine there are multiple Fox rivers in the U.S. probably with the same background. But, it looks exactly like the Fox River near me in Depere.

Did you heart your own comment on your own video?

[@josephscally6270]

Congratulations on 200 videos. Have to say though I didn't see any pipes exploding so I don't know what the click bait title was all about.

[@justinbell3764]

anybody else spot the beaver?? Start at 8:30 . Fun footage, but realistically the beaver will have that dam back in action before this guy wakes up in the morning. I've heard they wont reuse sticks from old damns, but that they work so fast it doesn't really matter. The sound of water is like sirens to them.

[@justinbell3764]

i wonder if a bush axe would be faster...

[@DebraJean196]

Found the beaver though it was hard on my small screen lol

[@alisonmiller215]

Yup I saw the beaver. And you're right, they don't reuse tree material.

[@rustyiron]

Beaver float material in to repair the dam, they MIGHT recycle material from above the dam. Rushing water attracts beaver, like a flame does to a moth.

[@rustyiron]

@@justinbell3764 Depends on what the dam is made of, one log or stick at a time by hand and twigs and grass with a rake. Mud with a rake or shovel.

[@dominquerollins1217]

Congratulations on 200. This is my first time here… and everything could have went down stream. My opinion 😂😂 laying in bed. But thankful for the video. Amazing job 🎉

[@grandpajohn3455]

Congratulations Sir Fox 🦊 200 amazing videos 👍 this was very satisfying to watch love when you work on culvert clogs 😊the water by the road was pretty high great work draining that back, the city workers appreciate your hard work and so do all your supporters, thank you 🙏 looking forward to seeing more

[@jamessublett665]

Hey Johnathan big fan here, I watch guys like you that tear down beaver dams like me TECH 86, strong suggestion, quit let so much go down stream, it will just clog it up down stream, take all your sticks out first, then take your rake and start at both ends of the dam and drag it off the sides the dam will tear itself down,nthe rake should be the last thing you use, try it that way and your dams will be smaller, keep up the good work, Be aware and Be Smart, God Bless

[@outdooradventures3161]

Congratulations on 200 beaver dam removals 👍👍this was a awesome video I’m sure the city worker you talked to appreciated the help🎉🎉 the water flow was insane 😮great work fox 🦊

[@darlene1967]

Congratulations. Hello again Johnny. Ready for the show from Darlene and my kitties in London Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@Quid2005]

Whoot-Whoot on the 200!!! And, yes, one of the best! Looks like the beavers have had to extend the length as their dam became more and more effective

[@NiceLoki]

Happy 200th video. 🎆🎉🎂 Starting in the middle of the channel and working your way back to the bank would have made more sense. Clearing the dam between yourself and the bank is like sawing at the branch you're sitting on. Also I'm wondering why you don't use hip waders and a spade.

[@bethrice540]

Just found your channel and I must say, it’s charming and delightful!

[@jeromyjohnson6073]

Wow it’s hard to believe it’s been 200 videos already congratulations my man love watching these🤙🤘😎🎉

200 breathtaking vids of fun. Every dam broke along the way. Love the journey. Looking toward to 500 mark. Cheers man. 👍👊👊💪❤️

[@martinmarsola6477]

A great partial dismantling this day. Excellent water flow. Eventually dropping the water level. See you on the next, Jonathan! 🙂👍🇺🇸

[@marcie8622]

Congratulations on 200

[@davidcarroll965]

I never expected you to clear that much, you made me tired !

[@rustyiron]

Concentrate on making ONE breach, keep it narrow deep and long. It is easier to remove a repaired narrow breach than a long rebuild. Everything that you remove from the dam should be removed from the water. The more material removed from the front of the dam makes it easier to remove mud from behind the dam. When opening dams manually it is the depth of the cut not the width of the breach that determines success.

[@judytrahan6121]

Congrats! LOTS OF STICKS!! Great video!!

[@amym1133]

Happy 200! 🎉

[@alberteinstein9176]

The fastest part of the River is the center which also has the most power because it's deeper. I would of put a whole right in the center of the beaver dam. The edges of a river has drag and slower.

[@user-cj9yc2vj6l]

Damn that dam is a lot of work. Beavers have a hard time rebuilding when most of the pre-dam (mud) has been cleared away

[@phoebethomas2476]

[@chadmcmillan1907]

Nice work! That definitely helps that waterway out! Congrats on 200 episodes! Hope your channel blows up soon! I just subscribed and clicked the bell. The whole time I was watching I just kept thinking that it would be best to just use an excavator because that damn is so massive! At least you tore some down and helped drain away the flooded area! Thank you for all your work, God bless!

[@zoesimpson4680]

Just a suggestion but the really long beaver dams what go all the way across like this 1 in the video how about doing it as 2 or 3 part video where u go back and open the dam a section at a time untill u have it cleared all the way across so the full dam as been removed eventually

[@cindycapwell3379]

Congratulations on 200❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊you can tare that whole dam out 😂😂😂😂😂lol you just won't stop going across and taking more and more lol 😂😂😮😊

[@christopherort2889]

Cool video as always

[@predatorinc9924]

I feel like in a lot of these kinds of videos they could save a lot of effort with a grappling hook, snatch block and winch system. Even if it was just a manual system it would be less labor intensive I would think.

[@DeezNuts4U2]

WTG, Congrats on 200

[@R118GSiVVC]

Good work Jonathan

[@marthaschuster4776]

Are u located in Illinois

[@maxallen-macdonald8791]

I echo the congratulations on your 200th video of Fox River Bushcraft. You've done a great job showing the change one man can make. I only wish that some older teens might shadow you on a tour of the river and the streams you've worked on so they too can learn about the local waterways.

[@rebeccachapman3707]

Question: why don't you remove as many big sticks as you can before you start raking? It seems like it would be easier that way. At least it does to me. Just curious.

[@cindycapwell3379]

Hope you get a second camera, with your 10,000 subscribers 😂😂😂great ❤❤❤

[@Stratos53100]

Congrats, You know how to find them, that was another huge one, Unless they have a long reach Ex they still wouldnt be able to get to the spot you cleared...

[@Rizik1986]

I was a little skeptical you would make much ground, but you made light work of that beaver dam. 👍

[@charizard2014]

Beaver popped up like what you doing 8:43

[@PreppingAngel]

While there are some that need taken out for various reasons, there are others that appreciate the beavers when drought hits in other areas. They tend a large pond by my house. The beavers were transported and rehomed here to manage different places. Once in a while they release some water but for the most part they are left alone. :D We aren't in flat or lowlands so no one cares when they make a dam. lol

[@wags9777]

I must have fast forward through the explosion stated in your title.

[@foxriverbushcraft2345]

If you blink you might miss it 👍😂

[@peterdopson9193]

Happy Double century from The Gold Coast Australia

[@DavidGlaum]

What state are you in?

[@bbraun4966]

I can't help but notice that you throw the sticks on the river bank so the beavers can find them. Very thoughtful.

[@lunalie6938]

Well, beavers dont reuse sticks or really use ones that are already on the ground afaik

[@nicolabjork2533]

Lunalie's right. Beavers don't use used sticks, since they think they failed the first time. They rebuild dams with new material.

[@albertcyphers1532]

Beavers will not reuse anything they take from the dam

[@paulgorden7622]

@@lunalie6938 True! Post10 can attest

[@DuckOfRubber]

While flawed in this situation, that level of logic on the part of the beavers is pretty impressive.

[@johndodson8464]

I wonder if u could get a cable threaded under the dam and winch it open?

congratulations 🎉 but I set my settings on 1080p but the video still doesn't look clear and sharp 🤔

[@joebarrett9830]

8:40 Dude has no idea pissed off beaver on the damn and jumping into the water by the tree. 8:44 beaver smacks his tail on the water trying to scare him away but he's oblivious and doesn't hear the slap on the water due to the rushing water.

[@MagD5]

@8:40 The beaver jumps out of the den and makes a run for it. Beaver is first seen on the dam, runs over the top, into the water and swims towards the large tree in the background.....also gives the water a big tail slap to show appreciation.

[@kellyashland379]

Any one else notice at the 8:40 mark behind and to the left a small beaver or muskrat.

Great episode. Find out when the city is planning to use that excavator on the dam and video it for the channel.

[@nicolabjork2533]

Escavator? 😂

[@jackieg5307]

At timer 8:40-8:50 you can see the beaver I think over by the tree on the other side. Goes from bottom of dam to top of dam real fast.

Please let us watch the whirlpool theost relaxing part is the water flow .. and yes I see the fake part of this as well .seems someone was there before the rain but its ok just watch other drain unclog videos and see what people like . And just so everyone knows the type of drains are definitely different there. Hard to o find the beaver ones lol

[@DianeCasanova]

Ever have beavers still living in dams you break open?

[@weaselsworld]

Beavers don't live the dams. They use the dams to raise water levels to submerge the entrance to their lodge, which is a big mound of branches with a hollowed-out center, or a burrow along the shore, if it's in a canal too narrow for a lodge.
