Unclogging Dismantling Beaver Dam Until It Washes Out Blasting Water.

"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) osha trained,
:Exploring Abandoned Anything can be dangerous or Deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any Abandoned structure. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal and when possible, i seek out permission from the owner or local police.

This isn’t really dangerous, BUT this is NOT to be done solo. The largest danger is hypothermia. Even falling in the current and bouncing through the pipe, will just bark up a person some.

You’ve gotta give the beavers credit - the way they build these dams is very clever.

That lodge shocked me. It was like walking into an Alien nest. I knew the Beavers were clever but wow, that was disturbingly good. So glad we got to be there with you. Absolute pleasure. As ever. Excellent work Sir. Love from Liverpool UK

[@davidwelch6796]

Speaking with very little knowledge, so I may be completely wrong, but I thought that lodges were always built in the flood pools created by the dams and not on the down stream side. By building their lodges in deep pools with the only entrances well submerged they have great security from land based predators, and they are effectively windproof so that enables the beavers to maintain at least a minimum of heat while bringing up their young. No doubt an expert will shoot me down in flames. . . .

Those long, straight logs with cables attached may have been a foot bridge from upstream that floated downstream as the water backed up behind their dam. Also, why don't you think about getting a cultivator hook? A short or long one could save you lots of bending over and reaching into cold water. Keep up the good work.

Excavators need to innovate. Attachment on the bucket - a claw on the end of a long rod, 12', and a way to adjust the length it protrudes forward from the bucket, probably a camera too - to aid the viewing from the cab to the out of sight view. push the rod in, drop it down, and drag back.

[@13Nagash13]

i was thinking a pointed pole, that has 4 spring loaded arms that push open. can use a threaded rod and bolt to limit how far the arms open, to match culvert size. so push pointy end through dam, arms open on far side of dam. connect pole to chain, chain to excavator. machine power pulls, and the opened arms snag the majority of the dam, and drag it out of the pipe without damaging the pipe like a normal excavator bucket does.

[@eve-marie6751]

Beaver dams have a "grain" resulting from the way a beaver lays on sticks and mud with the sticks generally parallel to the current and the beaver usually adds to a dam on the upstream side so you need to dismantle a beaver dam in reverse order working on the upstream side to peel off the layers of sticks and brush and mud. It would be better to use a mattock as much as possible to protect your hands. Excessive exposure of hands to cold water can cause Reynauld's Syndrome with persistent numbness in the hands plus the pointy ends of the sticks are very sharp and can cause puncture wounds. Even with hip-waders creeping hypothermia is also a serious health hazard plus beaver ponds are invariably infested with parasites such as Giardia. My neighbour would partly dismantle a beaver dam and the sound of rushing water would attract the beavers and he would then shoot them as they approached the breach. He would let the dead carcasses sink in the water and decay and bloat and float and this stench would encourage the other beavers to leave. Long-term solutions to excessive beaver populations are to encourage predation by larger mustelids such as otters and fishers and also by wolves. Encouraging conifers to grow such as cedars also reduces the food supply since beavers do not eat or even cut most conifers. Btw, beavers are not at all "smart" but they have very strong instincts which are well-adapted to their environment and they are very, very persistent.
