UNCLOGGING CULVERTS AND LOW WATER BRIDGES IN THE WOODS OF OKLAHOMA! 06/2024

#beaverdam #culverts #oklahoma #beaverdamremoval #unclogging
FAQs/Why would they do that?! Answers
We are so glad you are here! Welcome to our channel!
1. We are in Oklahoma near the Arkansas border.
2. We do this on a volunteer basis.
3. Kim aka Mom is retired. Jennifer owns her own business as a massage therapist.
4. We film multiple locations in one day since we can’t go out all the time given Jen’s full time job. You may not see all the locations we filmed that day in one video.
5. You may see other people in our videos at times including Granny aka Sue (mom’s mom), Jeff (Kim’s husband and Jennifer’s dad), or Jessica (Jennifer’s little sister) and Lucy (our beautiful, amazing, wonderful dog).
6. Many wonder why we put stuff down culverts. A few reasons: it provides help for wildlife, we like to and it would have gone downstream anyway. If it blocks another culvert then we will take care of that too but most of the locations we visit are in incredibly rural areas where there won’t be another culvert for miles.
7. We care about wildlife and never want to cause harm to them. The only reason we will clear a beaver damn is if it is threatening land or roads that can not be accessed any other way. It may not be the road directly within sight but a farm road close by.
8. We appreciate advice in the comments. We understand that we will receive constructive criticism in the comments. What we won’t allow is the calling of names, derogatory terms, or just plain calling us stupid or idiots. We are all adults here and the internet is already a largely negative place as it is, let’s not add to it. We are people doing our best to help our neighborhood and planet by picking up trash and clearing culverts. Why do we deserve hate for that?
9. You may not agree with or like the way we did something but that doesn’t mean we did it wrong. There is a right/wrong way to dismantle a bomb. Clearing culverts is up for interpretation to the one doing the work.
10. We hope that you enjoy our videos and will keep coming back for more! Any other questions you have feel free to ask in the comments.

Pardon me Kim….”we’re not super women”….I beg to differ….you wonderful ladies are Super Women including Miss Lucy!

[@jeriwollmann7366]

Very enjoyable video. Great nature shots. Awesome unclogging. Cheers ladies.❤🪵👊👍💪👊

[@crickettjd]

Another great job girls! Beautiful scenery! What was the blanket of purple flowers growing along the roadside toward the end of the video?

[@culvertsandmore]

I wish I could tell you but I don’t know.

[@crickettjd]

@@culvertsandmore thanks honey

[@sink8162]

Just wanted to say anytime after work I can come home watch videos of you all cleaning out things and busting up dams . It is so relaxing and enjoyable thank you.

[@joanhowland133]

I just wait for Tuesday and Thursday to watch your next adventure. You two+miss Lucy are a great team. I had a jen and Kim moment last week. Heavy rain here in Sydney and the drain in front of our garage was a bit blocked. Hunted for my garden shovel, then thought the girls would go hands in, and did. My son reminded me later that jen and Kim don't have redbacks and funnel web spiders... Oops

[@culvertsandmore]

😂

[@shannonskillett642]

Lucy must be the project manager and inspector. 😂 she is so adorable.

[@AnnewithanA73]

Boy I enjoyed that. Sights were amazing! The purple flowers along the road were spectacular. The waterfalls are so lovely in nature.❤

[@melissalease5476]

The creek at the end would be a perfect place for fossil hunting😊😊😊

[@linato1855]

You two found a lot of messes for this upload. I think it was the second stop that really needed an excavator for the tons of rocks hiding those two large culverts. Good job and nice scenery❣️I envy your nice weather there as we’re still at barely near 50F here…and very cold nights. Take care…👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

[@combak2712]

Wait, you bring along a shovel? I was going to suggest that! Why don’t you use it more often, especially for those culverts with lots of dirt in the way?

[@loristambulich5281]

Hi Jenn I'm wondering where you got your snake wraps for your legs ?

[@curtiscox7105]

I feel a secondary channel in the making: Miss Lou and Momma - Trekking the backwoods of Oklahoma.

[@Grumpy_Granddad]

Culverts, bridges, and ditches... oh my Culverts, bridges, and ditches, oh my, Linking the lands where the wildflowers lie. Under the roads, where the waters flow, Culverts lie hidden, with secrets untold. Bridges, grand sentinels, reaching on high, Spanning the rivers, touching the sky. They connect distant shores with a sturdy embrace, A testament to human grace. Ditches, so humble, carved in the earth, Guiding the rainwater, giving it worth. A simple creation, yet vital indeed, For the flow of the water, the seed's basic need. Together they stand, in harmony they blend, The culverts, the bridges, the ditches-they mend. The fabric of landscapes, both urban and wild, Oh my, what a world, so ingeniously styled.

[@culvertsandmore]

nice! mom framed your last one.

[@Grumpy_Granddad]

@@culvertsandmore oh I feel so honoured. I have only just felt moved to write poetry so you're channel has been an inspiration. I just hope I hit the mark for you.

[@Newyrnewme]

Aren’t y’all worried about snakes to be pulling out with your hands? Make is so nervous lol. Be safe.

[@markleonard-pe3os]

Is Lucy a rescue ? I hope so I am a firm believer that you can get a great dog at a shelter instead of spending $1000 on a puppy mill. She is a cutie love the lil white stripe on her tail.

[@culvertsandmore]

Yes we found her on the side of the road

[@PreppingAngel]

Here in Tennessee it was the county in charge of clearing the creeks of rocks except the Corps of Engineers took over all water here along county roads during Obama. Told the county and residents they can't take rocks out of the creeks because of "nature". The county would bring creek rock to help residents with driveways, dirt roads etc. The creek is going to run and continually dump rocks filling in the creeks, culverts and small bridges so that we now have more flooding and more violent storm damage. Idk if you can report issues to however there takes care of them to bring a backhoe out to clear those rocks.

[@lorisayler4915]

Actually, you are super women. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@chrisbradshaw5352]

There is an old saying, "Not all heroes where capes." No, in this case, they wear chest high waders!

[@joemorgan7227]

Relaxing to watch. Keep up the good work.

[@kimberlymckee1660]

Love Supervisor Miss Lucy was on duty again with Kim and Jen !!! Liked how Lucy checked out flow when they finished !!!!

[@jenniferdelorso5806]

Looks like some of those culverts are huge and need an excavator to open them up. Great job.

[@oermama]

Great job ladies, you rock 😊 if only you had an excavator to dig out the area’s in front of the culverts. All those rocks are a pest.

[@NatDanilina]

Пожалуйста, показывайте как вода выходит 😊❤❤❤. Спасибо ❤❤❤

You are superwomen and don’t let anyone tell you you’re not! Thanks for another great video! 😎🇨🇦😎

[@shawnbarczak1766]

Enjoy seeing Lucy being like, hey, I gotta get my nose in there and see what is going on. 😊😊😊😊😅

[@PeterFabrikant]

looking good

[@tracybowling1156]

You two hang out at the most beautiful places! I had lots of fun watching this episode! Great work, Ladybuugs!

[@NatDanilina]

Вы большие труженики ! А Люси у вас просто прелесть!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@AmandaWheeler-g2j]

Great video as always!!! When you find something crazy like those last 3 culverts do you report that to anyone for clean up?

[@culvertsandmore]

No, we just do our thing and move on 😊

[@randycharest4507]

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO ladies😊❤

[@donnabrowne2214]

It sure is pretty in Oklahoma. Ive never been there.

[@lynnduncan6139]

Awesome scenery. And some back breaking work. Excellent video today ladies!

[@patriciasiefert7140]

Yay finally using a shovel! Great job ladies!

[@loristewart-dx9xi]

Just a Suggestion if you know you are going to be working in water then why would you wear a long sleeve shirt in almost every video and if you are going to wear a long sleeve shirt you could button it up so you don’t get that part wet.

[@shirleyanneyoung955]

It’s common for us curvier ladies to wear unbuttoned loose shirts over t-shirts irrespective of whether it’s going to be practical or not. To button the shirt up would defeat the purpose of wearing it (if it’s loose it hides any lumps and bumps - at least that’s the theory). I mean absolutely no disrespect to any curvy lady, I’m one myself as I said.

[@ylvafrick775]

Hi☀️ another very good work girls 💜. Ylva Sweden

[@marymalady462]

❤Little Lucy!

[@juliadouglas872]

My dog was named Lucy too. When she was bad I would call her “Lu ce fur.” Lucifer.

[@culvertsandmore]

I like that 😂

[@emanueledinatale4645]

Siete incredibili (brave).

[@NatDanilina]

Может быть папин инструмент поможет пробить камни. Если вода начала течь , возможно есть надежда пробить проход.😊❤❤❤

[@alicetatum6049]

LOVED this video.did a Great job 💯👍👍

[@resonantmoonaudio]

The sound of rocks going through the culvert never fails to fascinate me.

[@betsynelson5280]

That centipede would have me running for the hills!

[@cmeproone]

9:00 I don't know if it's legal in the US or not, but it might be worth marking with some paint on the asphalt or concrete where the pipe has its inlet and outlet (when it's dry, of course), so that next time you'll know where to look, instead of digging around in the dark for the pipe's inlet. Best regards

[@JLMVallon]

Quel courage. Bravo , continuez 😅

[@seanmcquillan3390]

I’m getting a bit worried about you scooping up leaves and sticks with your hands. Might be a snake in amongst it or a scorpion. You are also bending down with your head within striking distance. I know the weather is still a bit cool, but I’m just caring for your safety, I don’t want you getting bitten. ❤️

[@susannesteinbock1639]

Ladies, you did an amazing job as usual! Und you are lovely and kind women. Thanks for what you are doing! Greetings from Hamburg, Germany.

[@SlickBubbles]

You sure worked hard at some of these! It's great to see that you know that continuing is somewhat futile or beyond your energy stores. If you shine a flashlight up the downstream end of a culvert, you can see its true direction. You can also see if it's collapsed, rusted out, full of rocks and/or debris. It's too bad the counties won't give you t-posts (steel, 8ft) and a post-pounder so you could mark the upstream ends of those hidden culverts you dig out. Failing that, they could give you cans of road marking paint so that you ladies could paint an arrow, a maybe a distance also, to the end of the culvert?

[@pamalaclines3053]

Good morning ladies another wonderful videos I enjoy your videos,I miss granny hope she is doing good have a bless week

[@culvertsandmore]

Thank you, granny is doing good, having a little trouble with her knee

[@petersp63]

I wonder what would happen if you stick the long pole up the exit whether it would give you a clue as to the entrance on that low water bridge anyway enjoyable viewing especially Miss Lucy

[@sabrinastroud9776]

I love the beauty of the nature in y'alls area. The waterfalls are so fantastic. Good job again Kim and Jen!

[@barbaracelia2437]

You need a pitch fork for the pine needles

[@LynnGorman]

You can’t fix them all.🤷🏻‍♀️❤️

[@ebxo269]

If you had a metal detector you could find the ones you can't see....

[@brendascroggins5200]

I love the water fall. I could look at it all day long. Great video ladies.

[@kelvingrebert7315]

well done girls

[@WilliamHartley-ng8je]

I would suggest you start marking the intakes on those low bridges. I'm watching any can tell that you are not digging where you had success before. Grease pencil or spray paint?

[@CortinasAndClassics]

I was thinking that. like a spray paint marker.

[@AhmetAlkan-uv6xi]

merhaba kolay gelsin sizi hayranlıkla taki p ediyorum azminiz için tebrik ediyoum türkiye,deyim size bir tavsiye vermek istiyorum kuru ot ve yaprakları temizlemek için kürek gibi kullanabileceğiniz DİRGEN bulmanızdır oralarda varmı bilmem sizin çok işinize yarar sizlere kolay gelsin

[@Janewomanpower]

beautiful scenery. thank you so much allowing us to take in the beauty of nature. In the camping area i noticed a few trees with pink blossoms on them. wondered if they were cherry tress or if you knew the name. so beautiful. and those purple flowers covering the ground. what were they> i was thinking crocuses or lupins. but not sure . Just breath taking. good work women. You know when i first noticed Jennifer talking to the stingers or stickies? i lost it in laughter. i talk to inanimate objects all the time. although growing trees are not necessarily that are they. they are living and breathing. Jennifer got this cute cupid face. what a great mama and daughter team.

[@culvertsandmore]

Thank you for the nice comment. I don’t know the name of those flowers but they sure were pretty

[@PeterFabrikant]

that away ladies

[@LynnGorman]

That creek is beautiful ,

[@hondayes]

This is a nice video.beautiful landscape. I think you might need some help from heavy machinery, to get rid of all the sediment and rocks at the entrance of the culverts. That would you hard work much easier. Well done!!!

[@jackiejones1684]

Some beautiful creeks and waterfalls. Miss Lucy looked like she was having fun

[@dominquerollins1217]

Right on time!!!!

[@aussiedisneyfan]

I’ve been offline for a few days and only just was the previous video. Super excited to have this one drop 2 mins later. 😅

[@ebxo269]

Could you include some photo's of the scenery at the end of your video's please such lovely places,..thank you..

[@rhodapaige3895]

Would a flower bed tool that has prongs be good when digging at the culvert? They have a short handle and prongs similar to a potato rake. Digging through the rocks must be hard on your hands even though you wear gloves. Great work. Greetings from Southeastern Kentucky.

[@CortinasAndClassics]

I'd be in the first one with a shovel. Great work as always ladies.

[@WilliamHartley-ng8je]

Wonder how one of those 'old style' potato shovels would be useful with rock lossening? Get Jeff looking. 😅😅😅😅

[@dannywillman373]

You two live in some of the most beautiful areas in Oklahoma. And you both are amazing.

[@fayedewitt4183]

Such beautiful scenery ❤😊 Great job ladies

[@charlenedavidow3700]

If you want better leverage to try to straighten out the culverts you could use your tire iron, just maybe, not that I do anything like you wonderful ladies.

[@katrinkaperkins1852]

The county needs to clear the rock from in front of the 2nd ones. Or a nearby farmer with a backhoe could help with some of these.

[@cindylouwho9348]

Bring some spray paint and paint the road right in front of the culvert hole. Next time you will know where to look if it is hard to find.😍

[@johannalangerfeld8978]

Do you report the bad coverts to government. so they can come fix or replace them.

[@cheryldavies-b6l]

Hi ladies. Perhaps you should bring a spade and a garden fork

[@barbaracarter3770]

Thank you for a new video. Look forward to many more. 🙂

[@jimradigan5282]

I think your dad's tool would have worked on the two you had trouble with.

[@jimradigan5282]

Don't forget to check Miss Lucy for ticks

[@markleonard-pe3os]

Jen with her Hazel the maid bandana is so cute!

[@zoesimpson4680]

You coulda done wi that spade on 1st culvert u did

Lucy is lovely, what breed is she?

We found Lucy on the side of the road but the vet said she has some pitbull in her but we don’t know what else.

[@FerencHack]

Dog help????

[@sandraamen2484]

I sure wished I knew what part of Oklahoma you are at with the low water bridges I would love to visit the those low water bridges, I live a few miles from Lake Eufaula and I refuse to go in the water, If I can't see the bottom I will not go in the water and I know I can wade in the low water areas because most of the water is fresh water and very clear, I had a older sister drown at the age of 9 and I have been afraid of dark water every sense then and that was 50 years ago.

[@culvertsandmore]

You should try driving out in three rivers land in your area. That’s where you would probably find most of them. Drive the talimena drive and you would be closer to us at the end of it 😉
