Im so glad youtube wasnt around when i was a kid. Cant imagine the shit me and my lil brother would have blown up

First time ALL the chickens laid eggs simultaneously, even the Rooster!

Marine Gopher that survived the IED blast: "GOT THAT PURPLE!"

My first thought was Bill Murray " kill all the golphors " 😂

person: “these gophers are ruining my lawn also person: * blows up lawn *

When you were "studying" your rodent control methods was there possibly a coyote named Wylie C Genius, a long eared rabbit that said "what's up doc" or a purple road runner anywhere in the curriculum ???

Who else was disappointed that at least one gopher didn't come flying out of that hole when this went off?

Now there's a town that really needs a bowling alley!

1:23 Gophers be like, "Yo! Anyone else getting a bit light-headed?"

Chickens be like:..."when they came for the Gophers, i said nothing".

3:08 your welcome

These two remind me of every one of my nephews that never receive a thanksgiving day invitation.

Did that once with gasoline pushing the vapor with a small fan. Ignited with waterproof fuse and then spent the next half hour putting out the flaming chunks of sod that were spread upwards of 40 feet from the original tunnel. I had a oxy/acetylene torch but never thought to try that. Pretty cool.

and then the gopher pops out and starts singing "i am alright dont nobody worry bout-"

"License to kill gophers, by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back: superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote." --Carl Spackler

Awesome video, but I prefer just a common road flare. Place it in the hole after lighting, cover the hole. Do not cover the other connecting holes, that way the poison gas flows out and into all of the tunnels. Any gopher that escapes out is dazed, confused and easily dispatched with a .22short or a pellet gun. Much quieter and neighbors don’t get all bent.

When I saw the video's title and what it said, I instantly thought about the movie Caddyshack when Bill Murray blew up the freaking golf course with a C4 squirrel. 😆

My brother and I did something like this when we were kids and our parents had a house in the country, except we used our mom's hair spray which we sprayed for about half a minute at a time into a gopher tunnel opening. Then we stepped back, lit a match away from the opening and tossed it in the hole. It exploded with a loud "whump" sound, but nowhere near as loud as what this guy on the video did. We saw the dirt slightly lift up all along the path of the horizontal tunnel, then it collapsed slightly downward. We did it on about three or four gopher tunnels around the yard, but stayed away from the house just in case. Mom probably wondered why her hairspray was getting used up so fast.

"Oh don't mind me mister gopher, I'm just your friend mister squirrel and not a piece of plastic explosive" It's Caddyshack all over again. Lol 😆 🤣

Gopher's last thought: I smell rotten eggs... Those chickens and their pranks...

As a side benefit, it gets rid of all the chickens with inherited heart defects.

I saw something like this once in a Loony Tunes Cartoon.

Even though this is 6 years ago. The reason for the delayed explosion is because the oxygen and propane around the steel wool needs to hit certain percentile ranges before it will actually ignite. Its better to use more propane then oxygen because you can always just wait. Also if you were using air not actually oxygen then u might wanna re think your ratios.

Considering the extended buildup, that was an underwhelming explosion. The bang was loud enough, but I was hoping for a crater.

When I worked as a mechanic for a private golf course we used to go out and clear gophers. We had a specially built system called the Gopher Getter that was oxy/propane, but it was attached to a nozzle with an igniter built right in. Had huge tanks attached to the back of a golf cart and wired it into the cart electrical system. We'd stuff the nozzle in the hole, drive and park about 50' away since that was how much hose we had and let it rip. Never had to get out of the cart. Good times.

1:16-1:21-“eating my pumpkin” sounds like a love-making position 😂. Thank you for posting!

The premise of this alone makes me proud to be an American.

What in the methanphetamine is going on here?!

Better hope there’s no gas lines in the ground

I was expecting gopher corpses to fly up in the air, I feel short changed, I also may have to write a stiff worded letter to the daily mail. ,, unless I see some mangled rodent corpses.

Peta: "Those poor gophers!" Me: "EXPLOSION!!!!"

Surviving gophers: Thanks, we were thinking about expanding.

You sir, are what makes me proud to live in ‘Merica.

"Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!"

The gophers wife yelled at gopher why didn't you call 811 before you started digging😎

“I’m alright! Ain’t nobody worry ‘bout me!” 🤣🤣

My uncle tried that with gasoline blew the whole side of his basement away :-)

Next time try dropping in plastic explosives molded in the shape of friendly animals, so as to no arouse its suspicion

No one said “fire in the whole” 😡

The dislikers seem to be people who have never had moles or gophers in their gardens

*hates that a gopher is destroying lawn *destroys lawn to kill gopher

This is some Elmer Fudd type a engineering!

You got here after a landing gear minced a deer, cyclists retching at deer juice, deer into a fence, flying deer vs car, flying deer vs car into truck-kun

I didn't know the third world had gophers. Nice place you have there, Carl.

The smell of oxy propane in the morning smells like VICTORY! Ohh the horror.

seems kind of counter productive when you're killing the gophers to stop them from fucking up your yard. but hey, you gotta have some fun too

I was doing this 50 years ago, we had a “rat” infested hedge row. I don’t know if it worked, but the hedge went into the air 6” and backdown again, great fun even though Dad wasn’t impressed!

_“That’s a good use of propane and propane accessories”_ - _(Hank Hill)_

Anyone else wanna gopher a beer?

Gopher smoke, don't breathe this.

Reading the title, how could i not click the play button!!?? Lol

Gopher comes out of hole and he's really pissed off . And he's packing iron,and looking at you.

Of course no gophers were harmed in the making of this video.

Caddyshack :- ( Scottish groundsman) “Kill the goffers” . Bill Murray 😳 “ Kill the golfers” . Still cracks me up after all these years.

"Well sir, ah reckon no man wants gophers eating his pumpkin" Me:"Do i take that literally or is it a sex thing?"

I did this years ago by making a HHO generator out of an old car battery that would not longer hold a charge. You could see the water level though the white side of the battery. I let it run until the water level was real low. I have no idea how much gas was in the tunnel but when it lite it off the blast rattled every window on my street and some one called the cops. By the time they got there I had hide the HHO generator and hide my self as well. I only did that once.

That's cool, but I wouldn't call it a success unless I found a corpse.

3:08 for explosion

Greasy grimy gopher guts!! Carl Spangler would be proud.

Vietnam veterans watching this vid be like: "Damn, why didnt we think of that?"

Well, that`s 3 minutes of my life I`m never getting back.

Gophers are now at DEFCON ONE

Hahaha Nice job dad !! No one got hurt .. besides maybe a gopher

Gopher1: "do you smell that?" Gopher2: "kinda smells like the day after taco Tuesday down at the.... BOOOMMM!!!!

Use acetylene with the oxygen, I guarantee a “BIG” boom!!💥💥💥💥

"I sell propane and propane accessories!" ~Hank Hill

All I can picture is Bill Murray from Caddyshack blowing up a gopher LOL

Gopher: "What in the goddamn...?"

Back up Chevy pick-up to area of gopher tunnels. Run hose from exhaust pipe of truck into opening of gopher tunnels. Turn on truck. Isn't that easier?

" * *squeaking noise* * " ~ That gopher

I'd love to have seen in the background, a nearby outhouse launch 20ft into the air when he touched that off. "Whoa, duuuude!"

"Boomtown Baby!"...(Gopher at other end of tunnel coughing and begins dancing to Kenny Loggins....)

"Fire In The Hole!" "The only good varmint is a dead varmint!"

Um, “I'm alright Nobody worry 'bout me Why you got to gimme a fight? Can't you just let it be?”

Is it just me or can anyone else imagine Bill Murray mumbles to hisself while also hearing a Kenny Loggin song in the background..🤔😂😎

*"Licensed to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. A man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit -- ever"* _-Carl Spackler_

You have no idea just how close Darwin is to you right now.

We all know the gopher is gonna pop its head out of the dirt and cough the smoke from its lungs...then start dancing. 😁

You made Bill Murray proud.

When I was a kid, I once removed a termite colony that was devouring our pole barn by pouring white gasoline down the hole, and then flicking a lit matchstick into the vicinity of the hole. BOOOM!!! An 8 foot long, 2 foot wide patch of our yard erupted into grass and dirt. The colony was only 3 inches deep. I was too young to know better.

Wow, Bill Murray has really gone hi tech!!! 😄

Gopher national news - A whole society is being bombed near Tree Valley, Humakaida Group has taken responsibility.

3:10 is the part we are all here for.

I had to go back in my history for this comment. As I sat starring at a full red line I guess I timed out. No way that can stand. Loved your "detonator". I am thinking, what can go wrong. Kind of expected a building to go up in a huge blast. Great video. Bad boys, Bad boys!!!🦇

Chickens won't lay eggs for a month!

Well, a few problems here. Did you calculate the 1 min of oxy-propane as you call it to cover the entire run of tunnels? Another helpful hint always use a neutral flame on the cutting torch for the best mix and lose the propane and get a bottle of good ole acetylene. The neutral flame on a good cutting tip or a rosebud running a little lean will produce the desired effect. You also need better igniter. I use 3 strands of fine copper wire and a black cat wrap the 3 strands around the fuse. Use several more extension cords and a 12-volt battery that's in fair condition. Walk off the tunnels and use 4" diameter average hole size to calculate the cubic feet. WARNING IF IT IS VERY LARGE DO IT IN SECTIONS UNLESS YOU LIVE A VERY LONG WAY FROM NEIGHBORS,LIVESTOCK, WILD ANIMALS, OR ANYTHING YOU WANT TO KEEP!

Somewhere out there, Is a Gopher with PTSD! Freaking Out every time it's hears a hissing sound!

that unexpected explosion really scared the heck out of me. it’s kind of like when some idiot in my school pulls the fire alarm and makes everyone jump out of their seats

Damn man, the state of your yard...

What worked really well for me was rescuing three pit mixes (beagle/pit and boxer/pit) to compliment my two Argentine Dogos and letting them have free rein of the property. Granted it was small (2 acre) but they literally decimated the gopher and rabbit population on the property to include running all the coyotes off due to them chasing them and getting rid of their food source(s).

In the immortal words of Jean Paul Sartre, 'Au revoir, gopher'.

I am just happy it was caught on film. Your cameraman almost missed it.

No Gophers were harmed in the production of this video ...

3:24 gopher distress call noise can be heard on approach.

Reminds me of Caddyshack and the groundskeeper, Carl Spector played by Bill Murray. Hard to believe that movie is 40 years old!

Who else hears Bill Murray saying “all right Mr Gopher”?

Use the steel wool and 120 VAC with a protected circuit breaker. Just like a blasting cap.

did the smoke happen to smell like burning fur? that would be so satisfying

Where's Bill Murray when you need him? Put silver wings upon their chest......

Another fine gopher eradication by Carl Spackler.
