Hey there, Cabin River Outdoors is great, one of my favourites. Yours has just popped up, so new subscriber.

[@deadpinecollective]

Awesome, thanks for checking it out. I just got a message from Shawn a few minutes ago ago thanking me for the little care package I left last week. Sounds like he has been having a good time hunting with his buddies. I’m sure a well deserved break from building and being solo 😁.

[@Tootsie74]

Ha! Every time we go to our our property in West Virginia and we Cress the hill we always wonder if the door will still be closed and locked and no trees have fallen.😊 What a generous thing for you to do for 'Cabin River Outdoors'. Watch him religiously and have found your channel because of him. Thank you and God Bless

[@deadpinecollective]

Thanks for stopping by from Shawn’s channel. I look forward to his latest episode each week as well. Ya, I’m always worried someone might pop into the cabin and help themselves to stuff, but it’s pretty remote and a tough jaunt to get in there with a car/truck, so that keeps most hunters out.

The new dams are probably from young ones that have been kicked out of the colony and are starting there own colony. I use to trap beaver with my dad. We trapped muskrat, coon, mink, otter, fox and beaver. Even though i no longer trap it was a great survival skill to learn if things ever get bad. I have a ton of great memories of the time spent trapping with my dad and all the lessons i learned from him. I enjoy everything about your channel even your land. I bet its a great spot to bunt for moose and bears!!!!

[@deadpinecollective]

What a great experience for you and your dad. I’m lucky to share this experience with so many kids! Yes you are probably right about the young starting another lodge. I’ve had a few great comments about why the dams are being built. Thanks for adding! No shortage of bears and wolves out there, but moose populations seem to be low right now. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

Love that cabin you have there great spot to relax for sure. Chainsaws can almost always be counted on to give us a workout before they start lol. My guess the beavers 🦫 are planning a new home they will build a house in the new raised water of the pond for their new home in the upper layer, I guess what I'm saying is they are building a new pond at the upper level. There was an area here just outside of town where beavers had created several layers of ponds by building several dams it was in a small area was awesome to see how they had it engineered. Great that you are exposing the kids to it that great to get them involved in nature. Man Id kill for that property (figuratively speaking of course lol) because I don't think it sucks that's paradise excellent for wildlife, like the beavers lol, hope you have an awesome week

[@deadpinecollective]

Thanks for the comment. You are bang on. There could be a few reasons for all the dams. They are definitely building more lodges, could be a 2yr old moving out, or just extra bank lodges that they build for “hangouts” but not the main lodge. Also as others pointed out, they build more dams upstream to control the water around the main lodge so it doesn’t flood. I’m sure it’s a combo of all these theories. I definitely have a great spot that I love for trapping, hunting, and hanging out! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Very much appreciated!

[@jennifercollins3171]

Yep I'm came to ck out your channel from cabin river he is building a beatu🎉place out there.. It's so nice to see neighbors helping neighbors out there evergreen if y'all hours away from each other. He put in a window that was completely broke but hey it helps keep it dry for winter this yr. Wishing all y'all living out there in the remote woods. Wish i could go back in my 20s cause that is what i would have done. But at young women at 50 no way i could build a cabin alone. So I'll be happy with my lil wv mountain home and garden.

[@deadpinecollective]

Very very few people regardless of age could do what Shawn is doing. Not only does he have the skills, but the mental fortitude. A rare combo needed. I was happy to donate the framed windows and door. I have a few more bigger ones for him, but I need one for my cabin to replace the one over the sink, then I’ll deliver what I don’t need to him. I was able to drop off another small care package on Friday since I had to drive by (with a short detour) where he launches his boat. I was on my way to another small northern community for work, so could not resist leaving him some items that viewers have been suggesting he needs 😁. Thank you for checking out my channel. It’s very different from Shawn’s but might interest a few of his viewers.

[@mikemetzger1931]

Yea so beavers make dams for 2 reasons. To keep water high enough and to keep the lodge in water and to keep the from flooding. So they make them in series to control the lodge level perfectly.

[@deadpinecollective]

Thanks for responding. That actually makes a lot of sense. They had a small dam there last year, and the main lodge is just downstream from the dam. It does look like they are making a couple more bank lodges. I’ll have to go back and explore a bit more. Great info, and good to learn something new. Thanks!

I can’t believe how much water you have. I need a lot more rain - my Muskrats are really going to suffer.

We’ve been getting lots of rain the last few weeks, so water level are getting back to a healthy level and the beavers are getting really active again. We’ve found a few more new dams in old areas (next video).

[@verdeenripley3090]

Beavers will eventually run their young off and they need to go somewhere

[@bertgriffin3624]

I'm new to your channel so I don't know your direction. So forgive me. I see you putting those logs on the fire , when they could split and added to your firewood collection. Not understanding that thought process.

[@deadpinecollective]

Understandable. I have a previous cabin video explaining what it m doing cutting down small green trees, mostly balsam, to open up some sunlight and also clearing around the cabin for fire protection. The big trees that are down have been for awhile and are pretty punky and not great for firewood., I do talk about this in the video and show the amount of dead standing trees that need to also come down which would be much better for fire wood, which I will be doing. I have far more than I need for the small cabin, so I’m burning mostly to clean up the area. Thanks for watching and hopefully you check out a few other videos 😁

Perhaps the beavers invading you were kicked out of the parent colony , and the nature recourse is to not move too far. They don’t really have logic, only reactions. Don’t try to understand them if you don’t already.

[@deadpinecollective]

Ya that is one theory that is definitely a possibility. The other suggestion which actually makes lots of sense is the beavers are trying to control the water level below the big dam where the main lodge is located. Thanks for the comment!

If the beaver have their way, that swamp will be a lake. Then you will have lake front property.

Hopefully 😁. However this is the first time since I’ve owned the cabin that they have really tried to dam up the outflow. It’s awesome because the pond is really shallow and I’d love to have a lake 😁. I won’t be trapping this family or breaking the dam at the end of the pond. I’ll just keep breaking the one flowing into the pond.

Beaver are all about feed. They’ll channel and dam anywhere there is feed. The water is protection from wolf and coyotes

[@deadpinecollective]

Sweet, thanks for checking out the channel!

[@deadpinecollective]

Yes I do understand the feed thing, but the creek by the cabin would not be a food source, but as others have commented, they will make a series of dams to really control water level all around their territory, which would include for feed and water levels at the lodge. Thanks for the feedback.

[@js2743]

Why would you not cut all that wood into firewood instead of burning it.

I have much bigger, drier and better wood for fire. I need to clear the area for forest fire protection and better light to the cabin. I may use some of the bigger ends for firewood.
