[@bobh6728]

Is that location close to you so you can go back easily to find the rake once the water drops completely?

[@davidsauls9542]

Some old beaver will find your rake and take it home as a trophy. He will make up all sorts of stories to tell to the younger beavers.

[@e1woqf]

😀

[@deedeeroco]

Oh no. Rip rake😢

[@joellacecil7474]

It almost got you this time😁

[@jimdevlin2138]

As a trophy of war some old beaver will build the rake into a new dam

[@swampthing20]

It'll be even more amazing if he finds it in another dam somewhere

[@jimm.3845]

RIP Mr Rake ... gone but not forgotten.

[@James-zj9ky]

Man, that rolled over fast. I saw the rake get washed away. Mantas, I'm glad you got out of the way and are OK 👍 👌 🙆‍♂️

[@jamedlock83]

I didn't see any rake

[@James-zj9ky]

@jamedlock83 watch closely a few seconds after the dam rolls over, it can be seen better in the slow motion replay. Look at the bottom middle of the video for the yellow and blue rake handle.

[@ScallopHolden]

What an amazing habitat they created. I bet the birds loved it

[@mateus565]

yeah, its a shame he drained it

[@TheRestedOne]

It’s ag land. Winter comes around and pushes the water table high enough to ruin spring planting. It’s too bad the empathy ends at the birds and not the plants that drowned, or the neighbors’ livelihood… But what can one expect from someone who believes “Humans are an invasive species.”

[@dussaulthans2015]

Great example of why it is important to keep a clear path to get out of the way fast. Would be funny that the next time you go there the beavers will have use your rake and you find it in a new dam.

[@bexxy2407]

Wow, that was a close one! You very nearly got swept away. Please be careful ❤

[@acratistrevour3901]

I felt the panic from a world away.

[@rcclark8818]

I have been fighting beavers since I was a boy 50 plus years. I learned not all beaver dams are bad and some can improve the land. I hope you are evaluating each dam before you take it down. I learned yearly to pick up my long handled tools when I was done, or those beavers would take them and make them part of their new dam!

[@blazedray9903]

This one looks so well established and the surrounding area seems to be loving it such a shame

[@deeg4n000]

RIP rake#1. You were a real one.

[@Mike-mm2bt]

That’s amazing how you dig under that dam and it just rolls over on itself. I’m just amazed job well done.

[@bobseldestagain]

Just now had time to watch this and see your rake take off downstream...right after you had to scramble to get out of the way of the collapse and the rush of water. Rakes can be replaced, but you can't! And that was a close call!!! Be safe and keep on doing what you love...from North Carolina

[@MaryClark-r7u]

Sorry you lost your rake,...but you got out safely, and That is more important than the rake! I know you will get another rake or find this one...but your cameras are safe, too! Great job!!! Great Collapse!!

[@thomasdyson3213]

Sad day for the rake. Good you are ok.

[@thomasdyson3213]

Were you able to find it? They are not cheap.

[@alexvinson7373]

Damn beavers stole your rake!

[@TravellingTechie]

RIP to your rake.

[@aardhond]

He will be missed ….

[@TravellingTechie]

@ He was a good rake. Faithful servant, hard working…

[@AliusScitmelius]

@@TravellingTechie A magnet fishing episode is needed...

[@luannvondracek439]

Fortunately Mantas is nimble and very quick on his feet. Man that was close!! RIP Mr. Rake. You will be missed 😢

[@pentothalman]

Grand Dad's rake will soon be located in the shallow, still waters. You certainly displayed your agility on this collapse. Glad you're safe and dry. Congratulations on a job well done and an excellent video!

[@oldsoulsgather]

What a close call! The dam was taller than I am, impressive size. Excellent filming, the power of the water breaking through with great force amazing to see. When I saw the sharp slope of the banks on both sides I knew why this would be a tough removal. The beavers chose their spot well, but they didn't stop you! Thank you for sharing your work, I am sure you will hit the 100,000 mark soon.

[@marilynpetersen7016]

All those branches you remove on the dams would make great kindling for someone's warm and cozy fireplace this winter!

[@templeofdelusion]

Rotten wood isn't worth a dam in a fireplace.

[@notyouraverageyoutuber3172]

⁠@templeofdelusion I don’t really think the wood is rotten, those branches look green, Not even sure if rotten wood would hold that much water.

[@SkySoldier-y4u]

I was cool with camera #3 but, also enjoyed the time lapse on camera #4. Good job and be Blessed.

[@gramof5396]

Wow! You got out of there just in time!

[@LaurieHuntsinger]

The water is a beautiful color today.

[@JuanitaHundley]

You are so swift and agile escaping the very rapid water! I enjoy your videos, I learn how difficult dams can be and work is hard. But the joy of the dam break is very exciting! Thanks my fry. 😊👍🏻

[@Kenislovas]

Thanks! :)

[@matthewmcdaid7962]

You are fortunate that it was only the rake that was lost. The dam was half way collapsed before you began to climb out of the channel. To locate the lost rake, start at the culvert and walk up the channel toward the dam site. You'll find it that way. It won't get swept through the culvert.

[@markleonard-pe3os]

AWWWW love that rake . You'll find it when you come back to that area. What a awesome collapse AGAIN!!!

[@Knappa22]

“Farewell, fair Rake; I knew thee well!” Monster dam break though. Fabulous

[@missdejablue]

Oh no!!! I was just asking on another video the other day if you've ever lost a rake this way! RIP faithful rake!! Never to be forgotten!!

[@JillianEllis-m3r]

I understand your comments about the work being calming. I used to love to be in my woods when I was younger clearing out my little streams. I could spend all day in there.

[@Cleanup199x]

You’ve shown true bravery and kindness, cleaning the graves and helping the spirit find comfort.

[@wellschr888]

A wonderful reminder on how powerful water can be. Great job.

[@johnkranz4004]

That was a well built Dam very good job dismantling it

[@antoinettefraser656]

You got out just, just in time. Another beautiful collapse

[@roxter299roxter7]

Your rake is going to become part of the new dam. Now that is irony at its best. Beavers are amazing!

[@allegg8804]

That was a hard to clear dam. And no bubbles. Glad you are safe.... Thank you.

[@tattooyu]

That had to be the closest one yet. Glad you got out of the way just in time, Mantas. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same for the poor rake, may it rest in peace. 👼

[@dominadorlaboriante8709]

Wow! That was close. Congratulation for your good work and your style in busting a beaver dam. You deserved to be called the Dambuster. Your way is very much different from the others who take the twigs from the top of the dam while you dig at the bottom. So it is really fascinating to see the rush of water when the dam collapsed. While the others who take the twigs at the top of the dam the water starts to flow and goes continuously until drained. There is no drama and excitement, unlike what you are doing where there is adrenaline rush when you know that the dam is going to collapse. Nice work and God bless. Take good care always, you might be carried away by the rush of water. I hope you find your rake.

[@Kenislovas]

Thanks! :)

[@ednastacey5816]

❤ thank God you are alright . very scary. Stay safe 🙏 fantastic job 👍

[@patspc6688]

Whew, nearly got you !! If you walk down the stream with a metal pole, side to side, you'll hear when it hits your rake ! Clank ! When you said it was one degree, i shivered ! Ten degrees here, sunny morning, but clouded over later. 😁🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@billburns2915]

I would say this video was the best one of 2024... the quickness and suprise factor is great!

[@jansmith9223]

Thank you for your hard work. The beavers are determined to rebuild

[@Philskiw1]

Your vids get better and better ! Thanks for posting

[@Kenislovas]

Thanks!

[@maryweaver7131]

Surprise! You work so hard for a few moments of excitement and this was certainly exciting. Thank you, Kenislovas.

[@davemoney5238]

Damn!! good job Kent this one was a BEAST!! 💪💪💪

[@Maya-w7k]

That was close, too close for comfort. Good job you are agile. One tough dam to remove so well done.

[@LisaJorgensen-y7i]

Incredible release. Stay safe

[@sapatti-4]

Nice to see the end result when the water has gone down... Good job as always.

[@rhutton7851]

Your Grandfather will be very pleased of all the work his rake head has done after finding it in the barn. I'm sure he would be proud for how you used it. I hope you will eventually retrieve it in memory of him.👍🇬🇧

That was a very quick one ! ! !

[@natalieb.8548]

Wow! That was powerful! 💕🇨🇦

[@alisonmeeks5580]

I’m glad you are safe and the rake is bright colours to find it another day.

[@BeckyIrvin-oz2lv]

Sad about your famous rake but happy you are ok.❤️❤️❤️

[@TheVillageIdiotUk]

I’m very sorry for your loss. That potato rake did some sterling service under your strong leadership. It never failed you and was always ready for action, proudly dressed in the colours of Ukraine. We shall never forget. ❤

[@sylverkizinna7547]

You brightened up my day again ...thanks...blessings all...❤

[@davegrove795]

Great roll! Sad rake… Watching from CA, send some water this way!

[@stephendobbs2229]

That is a very big Dam very Big VERY BIG, So Very well done. God bless.

[@swirlcrop]

This guy is a human beaver. 😀

[@rogerdudra178]

Greetings from the Big Sky of Montana. RIP rake.

[@matthewbond8874]

Absolutely amazing that a beaver 🦫 built that. Animals are amazing creatures

[@lala77uk]

That has got to be the best one yet, how it all went in one go. Good job you are fast as it nearly got you, pity about your rake, with any luck you may find it, but better the rake then you take care next time. Keep them coming and keep up the great work.

[@greghavers821]

you've had that rake since the very start-what a star!! thanks for this Mantas!! wonderful stuff!!

[@alfadoofus]

RIP Rake you served Mantas well , You will be missed

[@RonLauzon]

Thanks!

[@torccchaser6712]

a truly great flow...........RIP rake

[@snowyherge1549]

Great camera angles!!

[@rasputinsorphan1260]

A rake is a small price to pay for not being washed away. Love the videos!

[@Duchess-1002]

Watching from Indiana is the US.

[@vickietownsend5944]

Me too.

[@dalesimonds]

I think that was the best collapse I’ve seen in a while, and I’ve seen some pretty good ones. It is your efforts by making the dam vertical that provide the best collapse! Well done!👍👏🏻😁

[@alicetatum6049]

happy you are ok RIP Mr Rake

[@MaginFLORIDA]

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE & LIKE…….HE IS GETTING SO CLOSE! WE CAN DO IT FOR HIM, GREAT CHRISTMAS PRESENT !! SHOW HIM HOW MUCH WE ARE ENJOYING HIS VIDEOS !! SUBSCRIBE ! !

[@copiestandard-ic2kd]

Ah elle est morte cette petite fiotte, du sida certainement !!!

[@mastermasonjoewillis3904]

Thank you for your effort opening the dams!

[@pamela930]

It always amazes me how the beavers can pack that mud and sticks like concrete. You do good work.

[@williedakine2974]

Thanks for your Dam videos. Really enjoyed them.

[@dww2006]

Wow. That was a huge release. You are also fast on your feet. Great work.

[@countrybumpkin020488]

Watching from Nova Scotia Canada

[@markalan3108]

this one almost got ya. very close but for us to watch it was exciting. great job!

[@SandyButler-h5n]

Now that's how a bever dam should move. Yay! Awesome footage! 👍🥰

[@SUNSHINE-dm3le]

That was AWESOME….You always have good videos… love watching they are very relaxing.. you have excellent technique when conquering these beaver 🦫 dams

[@swampthing20]

That is a BEAST of a dam.

[@GwynStobie]

I wish I could like this twice. Good moves and rip rake!

[@jefff6167]

Wow, be careful. That collapse was very powerful.

[@207tate]

Haha! that was a close one.

[@valoriebull551]

Las animas, Colorado...USA

[@extremo37]

It's definitely my favourite collapse.. The force of that water when the dam let go was epic.. I hope your fork turns up..

[@RobChatwood]

Best rollover yet! That one takes the top spot in my book. Love the channel from Wa State!

[@RoseDavies-l4l]

Oh no, I saw the rake getting swept away! A lot of hard work but suddenly just whoosh

[@LloydJones-p7e]

This is gonna be a great dam moving day, look how much water pressure is behind it! Awesome!

[@jkell42]

I love the extra camera angles!

[@billdowney6891]

Your rake served valiantly!

[@luisv7117]

wow this looks like the biggest so far well done

[@peterramsey4611]

yes a very tough one Kev, made me sweat sat here with a cup of tea haha

[@thelamb288]

Fantastic job and so much mud to clear that the beavers had pushed into place 😁. Cheers.

[@steverobertson791]

Great footage of the collapse during and after keep it up thanks

[@markasof]

Sorry for your loss Mantas. A beloved tool is like a family member, losing one can bring sadness and hardship. I will keep you in my prayers and hope that you can recover it. Here in America, I cannot remember ever seeing such a rake. There are not a lot of beavers in California. You have a blessed life that lets you work outdoors. These next 5 months may not be pleasant. but it will strengthen your fortitude.

[@Kenislovas]

Thanks! :)

[@173guitarman]

my Mom said “he has to find that rake!” and at 91 Mom knows! 🤪 that rake is your costar, your Robin to Batman, your Laurel to Hardy…round up a posse and offer a reward, whatever it takes to get it back! #rakecomehomemovement

[@stevea1217]

Great job, sorry about your rake! At least you avoided getting swept away. 😊 Congratulations on the growth of your channel! I hope you see more subscribers in the future. I enjoy your camera work and narration. I taught English as a foreign language for 10 years, I understand how difficult it is. I appreciate content like yours, free from political discussion. You've probably heard about the horrible result of our last election here. I can't watch the news, so content like yours is a welcome relief! I subscribed a couple years ago, and I wish I could support you more. Good luck growing your channel, I hope you find your rake too!

[@Kenislovas]

Thanks mate!

[@deehardin6540]

I’m glad you got out of the way it kind of moved little fast there. The rake might show up when the water level is down lower but it was a good bust watching all that water pushing down the wall 👍👏❤

[@rushd45]

Excellent scramble!

[@chesterfield7770]

Waouh ! That was a big one and a very close call . I am glad you escaped this giant wave but the rake didn't .

[@MikenShadow]

So disappointed you lost your rake. That thing was a legend. I really hope you go back and check further downstream. You've had that blue and yellow rake forever!

[@PeggyGowrie]

Always an awesome video, thanks for the fun. Keep them coming. Love from Canada. You never fail us.❤❤
