Removing Large Beaver Dam To Drain Flooded Road. Unclogging Culvert

I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards.

I love when you show the time lapses of the beaver ponds draining, it’s amazing to see what changes you’ve made in protecting roads or other things.

[@heofthesquarebum]

It is good to see you wearing gloves! I have always feared that you would get cut/bitten/stung by something when you do this work. Thanks again for the content and keep staying safe!

[@praiserdusty]

I always think the same thing

[@penteractgaming]

I think it depends on where it is. When post is in areas that are closer to a city gloves are a lot more necessary but out in the middle of nowhere it is less likely that theres a needle or something dangerous like that.

[@johnbuyers8095]

Those latex dipped gloves are great. We use them to pick up broken glass and they can last for a couple of months at least😊

[@petucker548]

Or Vibrio vulnificus, the flesh eating bacteria gets into a small cut or scrape. You cannot be too careful or safe.

[@HannahMattox]

I cleaned out the storm drain at 7:00 yesterday morning down the hill from my house. My foot got soaked but I managed to clear it pretty well. By the time I came back (around 15-20 minutes later, it was nearly fully drained off the street. That felt pretty good. Now I've got the fever for it 👀

[@akmalas4628]

Great job 👍 you help road dont get broken

[@lisashykora5916]

This makes no sense cuz he is in the middle of nowhere, no storm drains in this video

[@terryfreedom9742]

I love watching your videos before I go to bed then I dream about how angry the beavers are when they discover their wrecked dams. I imagine they're like "Why?! Why would someone do this to our property? We werent bothering anybody!" Little do they know that they're comprising the structural integrity of the nearby road beds, which would eventually lead to a costly and potentially dangerous catastrophic failure. I know the beavers hate Post 10 but I consider him a friend and a hero.

[@TyroRNG]

Beavers will rebuild it so fast it's pointless to break down the dams without preventative measures. Might even take more time for a human to take down a dam than it would take for the beavers to rebuild it again.

[@emilyelizabethbuchanan998]

@@TyroRNG But it will drain the road, and the water will take a long time to rise up over the road in the not-so-wet seasons when they build it back.

See, a normal person doesn't think about beavers that much. Myself, never. But ever since I started watching these videos for the last year, you have taught me so much about beavers I fully understand their life now. It's pretty awesome. Thanks Postman.

[@carlosmiranda9585]

Please, do not stop doing what you are doing. When I watch one of your videos, the next day I feel like it was me who had that outdoor experience, I love it oooh.

Heya posty! I'm a volunteer firefighter in Australia (40 years this year). Have you considered using a McLeod Tool / Rake Hoe for clearing beaver dams? They are an awesome bit of kit with a heavy rake on one side and a flat shart side for cutting and scraping the ground. I can't leave a link, but Walmart has them.

You should check out the videos posted by Gene Plumley. He's just done an epic series of clearing dams in the snow and ice to drain a large lake for a farmer, he's based north of Toronto. Shows us some follow up as well. I'm not keen on Kenislovas TBH, he always seems to leave the job half done.

It's great to see you back in your usual stomping grounds. Fantastic video. By the way, the birds you saw out west that look like ducks - black with white beaks - are actually coots. Thought you'd want to know!

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

My last time in Northern Manitoba, the beavers were so numerous, that they were building dams in the road ditches about every 0.5 kilometer. Swiftly followed by highway crews in pickup trucks tearing them down. Swiftly rebuilt by beavers.... you get the cycle.

I've seen a few people use a rubber tire chained to a vehicle once and chained to a manual come-along ratchet to clear the narrower culverts by dragging the tire through it. Extremely effective. I bet you could rig something similar.

You should probably correct that statement about Beaver pelts. Some would say we couldn't have settled the continent without beavers. I know Lewis and Clark depended on them. Europe couldn't get enough of them. They have a very warm fur which was instrumental in the survival of the settlers across the country. "Now days" they may not seem to be worth very much but growing up in the 1970's they were still highly valuable, and we ran trap lines for them.
