HEY FOLKS AND WELCOME OR WELCOME BACK 👋🏻

Back when I was a kid, one of my old bosses (he was a good man) told me that if you want to find the easiest way to do a job, ask the laziest guy on the job site, LOL, he was referring to me so here goes, attach a comealong or an electric winch (need small generator) to a tree and hook that to a heavy duty boat anchor, throw the anchor out into the pond and drag it through the dam. Just a thought!😊

I thought this was going to have something to do with a salt water ingress or something reading "oceans" twice.

This was an amazing video the amount of water crashing down the waterfall was insane 😮great work looking forward to whats up creek 👍

Just curious here. it doesn't look like this pond is jeopardizing any needed farm land Etc. But I'm sure there is more to the situation. Still sad to see. Those ponds , when left alone, are great fishing.

If you see a beaver walking by in a trench coat he's doing reconnaissance 😂

One of the forest services in Canada found that putting a large PVC pipe into the breach after the water flows down to where you want it works wonders. Put a plug in the downstream side that you can screw in/out, and let the beavers include the pipe into the dam. When the water behind the dam gets to a level you deem to high open the plug and afterwards when the flow stops reinsert the plug. This allows for the beavers to exist in the pond, the water to accumulate, and allows for further remediations without destroying the dam or the rest of the environment. I’ve witnessed first hand the great work beavers can do in a barren area when they are reintroduced into an area. It’s a shame to see them driven out.

Thank you for reopening of the dam. Fantastic water flow, and drainage of the pond eventually. Enjoy your weekend and see you on the next, Jonathan! 🙂👍🇺🇸

Wow look at the flowing so fast after taking the sticks . Beavers are so amazing .

That construction was amazing! It was like having an inside view

Wow 😯 this was great 👍 the land owner must appreciate all you hard work Jonathan 👋🏻😊

Beavers are remarkable creatures.. There were fortunes made from their meat and pelts .. By the early 19th century they were depleted in all of Europe to make hats.Beaver hats were like owning a Rolex .

Not the beaver I was hoping for, but it's nice to see how you opened her up.

TURTLE ALERT @ 7:40!!!!!! LOLOL Looks like a Red Eared slider!?

Great video and great editing. Kenislovas would be proud.

Jonathan that is the best video yet, what an explosion of water. You are lucky that the whole thing didn’t come down with you in it. Please be careful. 👍👍😊🙏

And right around 7:00 he pulls out the Official Autographed Post 10 Rake of Power. Game over for the beavers.

Another job well done Keep up the good work God bless and stay safe

Great to see 👀 👍 you again. I like your videos from the beginning, good to see more breaking up of dams. They are bigger and better. Good job and good luck with your channel.

As much as I like to root for the Beavers, I agree with you that they made a mistake this time. 🌊🌊🌊🌊

No because if the federal government sees water standing they want to declare it wet land and then no body can touch their property or the wet land and then you might have to buy flood insurance for your home if you close to the beavers

You needed a backhoe to remove the entire dam Otherwise the beaver will rebuild it> It looked like you reopened a previous breach the refilledd. Did you eliminate the beavers for good

That was a cool one to watch,..lot of power behind it,..I enjoyed it,..

Did you see that big turtle cartwheel through @7:40? LOL

Nice job. Chris from England

I bet the beavers are laughing at you thinking it takes you longer to remove it than it takes them to build it.

I liked the different camera angles and in-progress shots.

Dude that was a job for tannerite with that perfect spot down low at base of dam !

Are you at the Fox River in Illinois? I live near it in the northern part of Illinois.

Nice! I would have kayaked that, you made a cool drop for a bit there.

It always amazes me at some of the sizes of the logs they use and how they are capable of moveing some of them massive logs almost trees

Niiiice. imagine the mist and steam of that water on a hot summer day

Are you on the Fox that runs in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois? Or a different Fox river?

Long time no see, great video and good work.

Great video fella 👍 I wonder if those Beavers put out a contract on you 🐻

Ive sugested befor about doing a part 2 and maybe going back and takeing more of the dam out so its not so easy for them to plug it back up so quickly

You know that is a lot of work, and the Beavers will plug it up in two days. You need to use a backhoe or excavator ..

7:40 poor turtle lmao

What does it need to go? Looks it created sone wonderful habitat

Anybody else be like, “grab this stick, grab that one” and when he finally does, you’re like “yeah, that’s the ticket “.

Wouldn't actually destroying the dam instead of just opening a small spot be more affective? Opening a small space means the Beaver only needs to repair that small space. Get rid of the Beavers then destroy the dam.

good stuff ,that is a BIG pond with lots of water that should make for a great down stream flood footage if you captured it,would be nice if you could widen your break about 6 feet more of the damn

Great Footage 😊

There's a part of me that can't help thinking the next drought is justified for those removing these dams.

That was kinda cool and all, but I think a well placed paint can of tannerite would have been much more epic!

That was fun. Thanks!

Very Good Video! can you pls u updated us with this big Pond

Anyone else see the turtle at the 7:40 mark I did.

Was that a warranty job this time ?

They use grass, reeds logs and sticks for rebar and and mud for concrete. Perfect example of why a narrow deep breach works to your advantage, a repair is easier to remove than opening a whole dam. Suggestions don't let the material you pull out of the pile up at the foot of the dam. White water shows material blocking the flow of water removing it should make the removal of mud easier. If you are going to put the culvert back the discharge end needs to be higher than the inlet, typically the maximum level of water you want in the pond/lake.

C'est incroyable ce que construisent ces animaux pour survivre. La nature est incroyable.

Little tannite open it right up.

It's funny how much he had to pull away to get it to colapse. Humans would never build in that many failsafes 😂

That was Hugh! Nice work Fox

Just like playing Ker-plunk

Awesomeness x2.

Awesome!!

Tannerite removes these dams pretty good.

Comes back tomorrow; confronted by a deputation of angry beavers.

Beavers are struggling!! Damn contractors leave them alone! As a farmer I’ve learn to give them their area, farmers have already destroyed 60% of bird population. In Michigan they tried to put Sandhill Cranes on the hunting list! We voted it down.

Outstanding

Beavers gotta PHD in engineering

Easier to take it apart from the pond side with a 4 prong rake if it not to deep.

Feels like jenga

How about opening the colvert

so where is the "ocean" part of the video? I dont see a ocean anywhere.

I watch you on a large television and I can't deal with the low resolution

The other beaver dam breakers clear the sides and the water pressure knocks down the middle

My guess??? About 1/4 of dynamite should do it.

Anybody else see the turtle get washed thru at the 7:40 mark?

Beavers

Use a potato rake. Clears faster on something that small.

That's a crazy amount of water.

It's beaver dam Jenga

20 pounds of tannerite, been drained in a few seconds

😊😊

Love it

And we wonder why we have water issues...

WOW, it's too dangerous to remove all the wood and soggy logs and twigs from the beaver dam!

Anyone else see the turtle @7:40?

Isn't dynamite faster? I mean it worked in cartoons. LOL

Time Stamp 7-30 on, check out the tumbling Turtle.

tHE bEAVERS WIL REBUILD OVER NIGHT.

Leave them alone!

Good thing you let the beavers stay in the area, unless they build these you wouldn’t have videos for us to watch

What school did the beavers attend to get their engineering skills?

how low dose the farmer want this pond

Sooo cool . Why do my comments keep getting deleted

leave em alone, its just swamp land

How is it that you say they completely abandoned the beaver pond but you point out where they are still repairing the dam? Leave those beavers to doing God's work.

10 lbs of tannerite would have been easier

You dint get the pipe open

Like Jesus said father forgive them they know not what they do 😢

aren't beaver extremely good for the environment ?

was any one else praying for him to lose his footings?

If you would take more of the dam area out maybe they wouldn't build it back so fast you only make a small hole in it so you can keep coming back to make more videos for u tube😮

The land is better off with the beavers and water.

Is this A bobr kurwa dam?

Why not allow the Beavers to have a little lake? Always messing with Nature is why we have the environmental problems we do.

So you remove beaver dams without removing the beaver first? WOW what you do that so they keep rebuilding, and you can keep charging them? What a racket.
