Unclogging Culverts, Beaver Knocking Down Trees

I’m glad I’m not the only one that uses a rake to clear grates

[@nick3718]

sometimes i wonder if post knows how much of an impact he has on the people who watch his videos. theres been times where I do little things like moving a fallen branch off the road or cleaning up garbage at a park when I specifically think “what would post10 do if he was here?”

You should keep us updated on that Big Beaver pond/lake right next to the road. Make a phone call to the state or township and then give us updates by video

[@billrobbins5874]

Please do Post. This is going to be epic! Also tell them for us. We want you to be there filming. This should truly be one of your most interesting videos ever! Do hope that tree doesn't fall onto the road and hoping no one gets hurt if it does. As always your videos are always interesting! Thank you for keeping us informed! ♥️🪵🦫🪵🦫😳👍👍👍👍

The driveway culvert seemed like such a perfect location for a Rake appearance. It was fun seeing Ghostie in the 1st clip - hi Ghostie! 👋🏼🙋🏽‍♀️✌🏽 Edit: I forgot to mention! The rainy season has begun (up to 1"/day when it's storming), and I have been zealously watching over the storm drain on the corner where we live. Did some "renovation" before the rains started & they seem to be working well. Couldn't/wouldn't have done it w/o all of Post 10's advice & examples!

The road surface at the beginning may not be asphalt, but just oiled instead. It's used on some low-traffic roads here in Alberta: a heavy oil is put down on gravel, and traffic compacts it down over time into a surface similar to very thin asphalt pavement. It's way cheaper than actual asphalt (since oil is just sprayed from the back of a truck), but the road surface is a lot more durable than bare gravel.

[@MattBrander]

Yes sir. Around here we call it chip seal.

[@djhrecordhound4391]

Wow thanx, I just learned something new! There were industrial roads near my childhood neighbourhood, and I thought they only sprayed to keep dust down near houses. You're right about the road surface. Very prone to weird divots and ruts, plus those potholes probably rattle each trucker into next week lol!

[@amandavancpsti]

They call it “oil and stone” here in rural northern NY.

@@amandavancpsti yup, I grew up in the countryside between Ithaca and Cortland. Our road was this oil and stone mix. Rougher than asphalt, smoother than dirt road.

This vid is great . It has everything :- . 12:30 Jesse Pinkman is having a bad day 😂 followed by a hover tree. Then at 13:20 the beavers have their own mailbox!! . “These beavers are out of control !” 🪵

[@richardkremer8313]

Not to break you bubble . It’s not ashphalt at all but called chip seal. Where they spray a layer of tar then apply Stone an roll in down. That’s all the tar truck is self heating. Think about how far a truck load of ashphalt has to travel an how cold it would get. An then you have edges from the machine laying the ashphalt. An it would be black. Just something you should know the oil run off would contaminate water near buy. So they do chip an seal. Even on city streets now it’s cheaper.

[@jaratt85]

That's because it's not asphalt, it's compacted gravel. BTW if you didn't see my comment on your video where you saw the fish, I'm pretty sure that was a brook trout, which are actually getting pretty rare now as most of their habitat has been destroyed. (I actually looked up Pen fish species)

[@TheOtherBarber]

I hope you called someone to report that tree, like you said it could easily fall over into the road and lead to a death or it'll fall into those lines and maybe force them to clear that pipe so they can do proper repairs.

The asphalt is called chip seal, it’s rock chips spread onto liquid asphalt, all over top of a base coarse of traditional paver machine installed bituminous concrete. Bituminous concrete is the technical term for the pavement we usually drive on.

I'm really loving the double camera action these days.

[@rosselliot8971]

That's not asphalt, that's probably stone chip on a tar base. Used a lot in my sector. Vehicles (or a roller) push the chip into the tar and excess chip is (often) removed sometime later to prevent it being kicked up by tires.

Thank you very much for this very interesting and informative video presentation. This was an interesting variety of culverts that you put before the people but without doubt that one at the end was in serious trouble, due in no small measure by a degree of neglect by the local authority. One would hope that action will be taken to fell and remove the offending tree and get to work, by specialist machinery, to urgently unclog that culvert, or else they will have the very great expense of replacing a washed out road. The community are grateful that this has been made known by you.
