I’m amazed about how much water is released when the beaver dam is taken down. There is so very much of it! Thankfully the people have you to help .

The beavers called in reinforcements,the ticks,there still got a bounty on your head,remember,your making their life miserable.so there pulling out all the stops to get you to quit or backdown.they are still impressive with what they accomplish in short time.great video as always.stay safe.continue on doing what you do best.great job.take care.😎😎😎👍👍👍

That was a good one,..water flowed pretty hard for quite awhile,..stay safe from the ticks and the beavers,..good job,..

Whew!!! Alot of water. Good job!!

A work colleague has a brother who caught Lyme disease and it seriously changed his life. It was forever before he was diagnosed and without that treatment and insurance was a real pain. He had to stop working and he was sick a lot of the time. We live in Alberta Canada so we have ticks here too. Cinch your pant legs and cuffs. Check yourself over if you’re out walking. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Thanks for making these vids :) watch every one when they come out

Greetings from the BIG SKY. Drag a white sheet thru the brush to see how many ticks are around. I learned this from working in the Forest Service at Lolo Hot Springs country.

Lots of Ticks here in the states also in wooded and Grassy areas in the south states we also have chiggers in grassy areas that will make you itch like crazy ,Summer time pests as well as the flying insects ,Their must he a huge colony of beavers living in that canal ,in a few days it will look like you were never there

I liked how you gave the dam time to dismantle itself. 👍 Nice one! About the ticks, we have the same situation on the other side of the Baltic Sea (Sweden). Please folks, get vaccinated and be careful!

yes we have ticks here in S.C. as well lots of them

Ticks also live in the BIG SKY regrettably, I think our planet is their place to live. Dragging a white sheet thru the bushes does work to show the density of ticks.

A fantastic dismantling this day. Excellent water flow. Enjoy your weekend, Mantas. Hopefully see you on the next. 🇱🇹🙂👍🇺🇸

you have 2 out of 3 of the things that humans can watch without getting tired.

The first thing I do is give you a thumbs up, and then I watch the video. Because I know the content is going to be excellent.

Thank you for talking ng me along. Thank you for doing this. I servid enchilada when I was seven.

Great information and fun to watch! Very rewarding when the dam collapses. Be safe!

Another great dam removal . Good work

Lots of water. Good vid. Thanks!

Thank-you for a great video Mantas, I love seeing the lush greens of early summer. A lot of water flowing, you did a great job. 😊💫

Love what you are doing. I am in Nova Scotia, Canada and we have ticks. Nasty things. I get a couple or three on me almost daily because I walk my dog on roads through the woods. The dog has tick protection and this year has tested negative for Lyme. I try to protect myself but it's usually to no avail. They find a spot to get through it.

Thanks again sir, for your hard work including the editing and presentation. If you ever feel as though you had the time or the inclination, a time-lapse of “downstream” before, during and after a dam release, would make very interesting viewing. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👍🥇🏆💯

Love watching your channel so relaxing 😊

Great camera placement on both

😎😎😎. You look handsome with your new sunglasses!

Thank you.

Very enjoyable video!

You can treat your clothes and they last several washes. Really helps. Just careful as some can be bad for certain types of waders

Another awesome job 👏 ❤

Great video. Thanks for your hard work

Nice job !!

We have all sorts of ticks here in Australia. If we do not regularly treat our dogs for ticks, flees and heart worm, our dogs die. Beavers will reuse materials for dams but not for the lodges as the lodge is the winter food store. I guess that almost as much of a problem as the flooding, is the channels that the beavers cut into the fields as they head out to food stands and trees.

Well I'm all itchy now! lol

When he starts his videos with his "Hey, Hey!" I want to respond with "Ho, Ho. Beaver dam has got to go."

Ticks are bad in Michigan USA, love the videos I've watched all of them so far.

Good job 👏!

It's so absolutely fascinating to see the whole thing begin to shift, ever so slight, yet stop before complete collapse? How are these things made to where a moving object can stop itself, essentially, and the pressure the water must be exerting. So cool!!

Hey you have a tick on your hoodie!

Many Happy returns of the day to you 🎂. A Taurus just. 😁 Have you ever wondered how many thousands of gallons of water you release each time ?? Would be interesting to know !? 😁🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Those beavers are busy as hell.. You definitely need a digger to clear a wider channel.

Reading the water is one of the tricks to flyfishing I've used in many other places.

As long as the water get drained down it’s all good !!

Yes sir, there are tics in most places. Where there are woods and such. I've had tics in places I can mention on KZfaq lol. I am from North Carolina USA.

Yes we have ticks here in Ontario Canada. They are plenty this year.

Nice video!

Nice video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦

Have you explained to the new subscribers the story behind your hay fork? Which has served you well by the way. How many times have you added or changed the patterns? ❤

Thanks

Mantas, do you think it might be possible to ‘leave’ a camera behind (with a BIG powerbank) to do a timelapse os beavers rebuilding the dam? I would be very curious to see how they do it.

Love your podcast😅

Tennessee has the same tick issues. Their seems to be many this year. My Mom is in Connecticut and has gotten ill from one that missed her detection until it had been on her for 24 .hours.

Be careful out there!

In New Zealand I know we have mites which make dogs itchy - probably have ticks but I've never seen any (rubbing myself on a wooden table - touch wood). Love your video's who knew I was gonna end up watching a guy from the otherside of the world remove beaver dams...ps. we don't have beavers in NZ either

Some videos are scary. I hope i would never see a collapse approaching from the camera vieuwing point witch you can't see from your vieuwing point in front of the dam🤞🤗!

Looks like the beavers did a better engineering job on that dam

The beavers have to chew for those teeth, but it's also their source of food. That is probably why they prefer living trees and branches.

Everybody take a moment to itch!

I think the big thing about removing the whole dam is preventing trees and roots from establishing and makingn it harder to remove the dams.

😎 video .

Mantas great video, did you stop using your shovel for a reason??. Watch out for the ticks, I know you can get really sick from them if you are not careful. David B.,Utah, USA. 💖💖❤❤❤.

THE BEAVERS ARE RELENTLESS!!! Here in Ottawa, Canada, 10 years ago we didn't have to worry about ticks in our area. Now, we have to wear long pants and/or use a spray to protect ourselves from Ticks. Something else a person, doing what you do in your videos, has to be aware of is that in many of our lakes and ponds, one can 'catch' something called “Beaver fever.” That's the common name for giardiasis (Giardia). In Canada, we also have an insect called a "Black Fly." It is a flying insect. It's only about 2mm in length. It's silent. It bites, and in doing this, it causes a tiny little bleed. When Europeans come over and are bitten for the first time they sometimes swell up significantly (a 'blister which is at least half the size of your hand). It's usually not a concern and the swelling will disappear in a few days. In areas of our country where there are many still (No or minimal current) lakes, ponds, ... a person (and many animals) has to protect themself from both the mosquitos and black flies; not to mention, the Deer Flies, Horse Flies, Hornets, ...!! In Northern Ontario, as in many remote areas, horses must be kept indoors during the worst of it (Usually August) or they will actually go crazy!!! Though beavers don't reuse branches/sticks, muskrats will, even though their incisors, like all rodents, also keep growing. Many rodents grind their incisors against their bottom teeth to control the length. Muskrats have been known to work along with beavers building a dam; however, muskrats don't build their own dams, though they will block a small culvert. What about beavers' orange-coloured teeth?

Nice video.

Ticks scare the crap out of me

If you can get Permethrin in your country ,get some ,treat the clothes you want to wear on your outdoors activities . Hang clothes overnight outside to dry , the ticks will not survive long enough to bite you.This will last many weeks even if you wash them.

Do you have the ability to capture the beavers' rebuilding a damm you removed?

another fairly easy removal

Do you know about sulfur powder? You put some in a sock and dust around the openings in your clothing. It stops the ticks at the sulfur barrier!

We have ticks in the Great White North (Canada) and they carry the same diseases. But I didn't know that there's a vaccine for encephalitis, I'm going to talk to my doctor about it because my job (Field Geologist) puts me at risk all the time. The strange thing though is that I have only found 1 tick on me in 40 years of wilderness exploring and I got it in my uncle's yard.

There’s tics in the US too

so the lesson is... only if you use an excavator, you don't need to return after 2 weeks? but yeah... an excavator cannot get everywhere 😞

Get yourself some sticky lint rollers, designed to get fluff and hair off of clothing. I have dogs and before getting in the car I roll the sticky roller over my clothes and my dogs. It picks off the ticks and they are easy to dispose of.

Coconut oil is very effective against ticks

encephalitis = iN-say-fi-lie-tis Glad you are tick-aware. 👍👏🥰❤

We have plenty of ticks in USA...they get worse every year. I got Lyme disease when I had my own landscaping company. There are other, more deadly diseases that come from the ticks. Those diseases are getting more common, too.

You can treat your clothes with permethrin. It lasts 2-3 washings. Just make sure you let it dry before wearing the clothes. Not sure about the waders. Might not cling to that.

Yes we have paralysis ticks down under

💪🏻👊🏻

Beavers are such smart animals. They smell there sent on the wood they did use in there dam. The dam failed, so they think it they didn't a good enough job. So they won't reuse there material to avoid failing again. Only when there is not enough material around, they will reuse.

Yes, there are ticks in the USA.

Yes we have a lot of ticks here in the Southwest of the USA and they cause a lot of sickness in people and animals

If you can't use Deet or Permethrin get double sided tape ,pull your socks up over your pants cuffs ,wrap about a six inch area around where your socks and pants meet. The ticks should stick to the tape, this will not stop them from getting on you hire upso you must check when you're back at the car.

My granddaughter got encephalitis when she was four months old from a mosquito bite. She had surgery to help with the seizures, but the surgery messed her up. She no longer knows me. Nor can she talk. 😢

I am just trying to recover from lyme disease with nerve damage. The symptoms appeared many months after being bitten by a tick. The fourth doctor I visited had seen this once in 35 years. A had to take a quadruple doses of broad spectra antibiotics. The tick bit me on the back of the knee. I removed it. Nothing happened then. Four months later a solid circle appeared on the back of the knee. The circle then transformed to a ring that went bigger and bigger. I got nerve pain from the ankle to the groin. I also lost the feeling on the skin around the knee. The antibiotics have removed the nerve pain but the loss of feeling is still there. As I learned this is a rare condition. It can appear many years after the bite. It can affekt the brain, the heart and also cause loss of feeling in hands and feet.

Do you ever run into any snakes out there? What kind do you have?

It didnt drain half a meter....look at the dam, it was 1 foot above the water....so like 1/4 a meter.

tThem ticks are no fun, be careful my friend, don't want to hear you are ill

У нас есть насекомые "энцефалитные клещи", но в нашей местности они не опасны. Они опасны для собак:разносят пироплазмоз. У нас в стране людям делают прививки от энцефалита и других болезней, которые разносят клещи.)))))

I live in a tick risk area and have been vaccinated against - in Germany - FSME

They will be back.

wow, this one was stubborn, eh? looked like it wanted to roll over for some belly scratches for a long time

@rickhesslein7125 1 second ago I do not understand why there is a need or desire to drain and lower water level? What beavers accomplish benefits ecology on nearly every level and should be encouraged not torn down when possible! If there is a specific conflict from retained / higher water, that should be explained and dealt with in the least invasive ways possible to both promote healthy ecology and also to allow these amazingly beneficial “natures ecosystem engineers” to provide the habitats and other benefits their work ensures, and to allow their continued existence without constant harassment or worse!

Your logistic skills continue to be demonstrated on your beaver dam disassembly. Maybe, just maybe, on the wide and tall dams request the assistance of an excavator.

Много говоришь !!!.Россия. Оренбург.

This is kurwa bober dam?

Solo in Inghilterra usano le tue misure. In Europa no.

You seem to be creating circular problems for yourself and the landowners by failing to eliminate the beavers...

You really need to actually work at clearing the damn while the water is flowing otherwise you just leave everything in the same place so none of the debris gets cleared. Almost like you want to come back every other week to do a halfassed job again.

There is a illness called Alpha Gal abbreviated, that causes red meat allergy and the Lone Star tick is a carrier here in the US

Wow that's only two weeks? I remember that spot. The thing you didn't mention about the beavers is that most of those sticks you took off this time had the bark chewed off because that's what they eat. When they're done eating they just add the stick to the dam. Pretty efficient aren't they?
