@@SkidderKev yeah, we are staying above freezing at night finally. Actually saw 68°F for a high twice last week. If you check those winches, look for a used one, the price of a new one can be scary. Good thing the beavers were gone, I've had those ornery things growl at me camping next to the river before.
I ❤ Beavers 🦫 I have sure cleared plenty of flood gate fences just like this, in cattle pastures over the years. It is hard work and amazing how all the debris gets twisted and packed in! Thanks for videos!
We used to dig out a lot of dams growing up on the farm, they would flood the farmland, We would mostly do it by hand, but sometimes my dad would get a friend who worked for the township to bring home some dynamite. It's hard work for sure. Take care
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatuh ❤️💐🌹👍
I can’t wait to read the comments on these videos
Haha ya probably going to get some good ones again.
Pete they are some good ones
Dynamite and a .22
Would love to do it that way but not allowed
...beavers are only good for making a mess and old style hats..lol..(my opinion) good work, stay safe..
The make good winter mitts, too. ;-)
Some beaver glove would be nice
you need a spud rake. 3 or 4 tines about 6 inches long
Kev people don't realize how much damage a beaver can make. The damage is upstream from the flooding. See you on your next vidja.
Ya people seem to forget that. We got these ones before they did Any major damage.
@@SkidderKev City folk don't know that
100% right on that
They sure are industrious creatures. Engineering marvels to put dams just wear they’re needed.
They sure are.
Nice video Kev - hope the mosquitoes were not to bad and nice work. Cheers
Was lucky enough it wasn't to bad for bugs yet. If you did it now they would probably carry you away
I'm still a fan of a chainsaw winch and grappling hook for beaver dams you can't get an excavator to. Have a great day.
Ya that would probably work pretty good. Have to look into one of them. Hope it's warming up for ya

Kev get a 4-5 prong garden rake they are the bomb for ripping apart those things!
Might have to get one of those for the next ones we pull apart .
It looks like it was hard to do that.🦫🌲🪵
It took abit of muscle to get it done but was fun to do.
Knock em out
Oh we are!
Something oddly satisfying about tearing out a dam.
There sure is! Probably why I enjoy doing this work so much
Ya, it's always a good idea to follow Pete walking up stream . That way when he disappears you know there is a hole.
Hahaha good point.
saw a young girl do it with just her shoes and hanging from in less then 20 min.
Hahahaha that's great
Was it Greta?
😟🤣

Ya they are very creative. Crazy how they get rocks up in the dams too. Flood gates have to be a pain to clear

Ya some dynamite would have made quick work of these!
