Unclogging the Hudson River Culvert by Removing a Huge Beaver Dam

Hello ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!
In today's video I visit the Hudson River culvert and discover a beaver has built a massive dam at the entrance. Watch as I tear it apart and drain the thousands of gallons of water held back. I hope you all enjoy this video.
Some have asked how they could help support the channel, so I made a couple of t-shirt designs as well as a hooded sweatshirt for anyone interested in helping out but also getting something in return.

I would think a chain saw would be an asset to you on jobs like this.

I had a summer job in the oil patch in N. Alberta. One of our jobs was to unplug culverts that the beavers had dammed. So being the rookie I had to crawl up the culvert from the down stream side and pull the dam apart. The first branch I pulled caused the whole dam to release. The water flushed me out like a turd in a toilet.

the rake is like a hand on steroids when ripping into the pile. I use my hands when needed but prefer the rake as I bend over less.

Can't you use a chainsaw to reduce the larger logs. Unless cut down they will continue to clog the way. We cleared a small blockage this way, and each spring it happens again. You are a hard worker, stay safe.

@carmenmarshall5787 9 ай бұрын

I thought about a chainsaw, too. But there would go the peacefulness, wildlife and the echo in the culvert would be heard everywhere. It’s a lovely rural area. Would it be allowed?

were there ever beavers there? beavers can only move logs if there is enough water. it seems to me more like dead wood that was driven at high tide. good work!

@Grab_your_Waders 10 ай бұрын

If you look closely throughout the video, there are signs of beavers everywhere. Partially cut trees along the shore, beaver cut sticks in the pile, mud and leaves mixed and placed up high in the dam as well as all the sticks with the bark chewed off. I'm going to order a trail cam and leave it down there to put this debate to rest lol.
