Today's video was supposed to be a metal detecting adventure, but I just couldn't ignore the water level. Probably the best flow recorded to date on this episode. I hit the three main culverts on the large field drainage ditch. It's a long one today with me breaking the silence from the last two uploads.

Thank you so much for checking out my video! This video is very early in my days of dealing with the beaver. Under equipped and not much experience, just trying to figure out how to get rid of all that water! Thanks again for watching and supporting my channel, be sure to subscribe and follow along.
Post 10 would of had a nervous break down watching him at the 20 minute mark…bend your knees and grab the stick. 😊
jjjjjaaauuuuu...exactly my words to...😂😂😂😂😂😂...i was watching the part and just thinking....dam boy...grab this fucking stick with your hands and pull it out
Same here! I'm yelling at the screen.....GRAB THE STICK AND PULL IT OUT!
All this complaining about the 20-minute mark I had to go back and look for myself! I wish the camera gave a better perspective of the conditions. There is a step slope coming down to the pipe, see how high the camera is. Not so easy to just lay out flat here and reach down there. The branch was about 5-6 feet long extending into the pipe with many little branches catching the grate like barbs when trying to pull it out and the current of the water made it even harder. I will try to do better next though, last thing I want to do is cause stress to frustrated viewers! Thanks for watching!
@Mark Lane agree totally 2 different people
Indeed Post 10 would have.
Beavers Know what they’re doing. Have No Doubt.
Mr post 10 has a point but I don't think Mr Barrett wants to drown either deep water heavy clothes and boots recipe for disaster.. Just saying 🍀👍
So many dangerous elements involved that I think some people either don't understand or just don't care because it's not them doing it. On a positive note, the majority do understand and appreciate what it is. Thanks for watching!
dude - just use your hands to grab the stick at 20minute mark. torture.
Rubber boots and gloves I would think of one of basic tools. I didn’t see anything removed from inside the grates or the outflow would have been greater….
The inside of the pipes do need to be cleared. They have debris lodged deep inside the, I have to get the water down some before I can get into them though, but its coming. Thanks for watching!
Always wonder what folks down stream think about all this water suddenly flowing like crazy their way
Absolutely great question. In this case, it goes down this large ditch to a bayou. If you're not familiar with bayous they are very good at handling massive and quick changes in water volume if they are not obstructed. The bayou carries the water to the Arkansas River where its just a drop in the bucket.
Good work! I notice you just clear out 50-60% of the blockage. Is that to leave some water in the ditch/pond or is it because you know it will be blocked again in a week or two and then you make another video from the same spot. It seems if it were my property, I would do a more complete job. Also, you are like the only guy posting these sort of videos that uses a tiny tulip rake, and that is afraid to get in the water. Check out the Oh My ladies - they kick your butt.
Thanks, this comment made my morning. Pretty sure it's the first one where I have been complimented, criticized, and insulted all in one comment 😃. I know some of the details of what is going on isn't 100% covered in every video, it would just be a bit repetitive, especially for those that watch every one. During certain times of the year, partial unblocks are intentional for waterfowl habitat. I wish it took a week or two before it became blocked again. Not sure about the potato rake, I don't watch much content from others that do this but when I have it seems the potato rake is the tool of choice. If I didn't live in the south I would be much more care free in the water. I'm not sure who the oh my ladies are but I am totally okay that they are kicking my butt! Thanks for watching!
@@BarrettFarms He’s shortening the name of “culverts, bridges, and ditches, oh my,” but you both kick ass, and he also didn’t pay attention when you said it was too dangerous, with steep, clay banks that would slide you in over your head during high water like this.
Regardless of what all the complaining people in the comments say, I enjoyed your video. Some people need to learn some manners,geez! Thanks for the upload😁
Maybe less fancy clothes next time- so you can really get at it? 😊😉 Is there a lot of debris inside the pipe? Should the grid be tight to the culvert to stop the beavers from building inside it? Seemed like the flow on the other side could have been bigger? I watched the whole video- thank you for posting!🤗
Thanks for watching! The attire was just to stay warm. Nothing fancy for sure, really old jeans, old hoodie. The coat I was wearing was a Christmas gift from someone that wanted to keep me warm on cold farm days. I will definitely drop layers weather permitting.
There is a lot of stuff stuck in the middle of the pipe. The beavers do sometimes go through it and build inside. Sometimes it's just an accumulation of debris that gets through and lodges in there. I have a plan that I think will work to clear the inside of the pipe, but I have to get the water level down before I can get to it.
No one’s like Post10, just be yourself.
I do.
me too. but Barrett Farms is also nice to look at
I absolutely love the sound of the running water. I came to this channel from Kenislovas. Forgive the spelling. He also removes dams by hand. Kudos to you both!
You really are getting good with the potato rake. Keep it up!! Very good work.
I'm getting lots of practice in! Thanks for watching!
I think cleaning in front of the grates is most important. You don't want the beaver to get inside it as they will then focus on clogging the culvert/ pipe. That's way more difficult to unclog.
Thanks for unclogging the culverts. The sound of running water nearly puts me to sleep. Keep up the good work.
I love comments like these! Thanks for watching!
Good job! Can't you pull the wire screen out and put it back in once the worst of the clog goes through?
Sometimes, sometimes it's so stuck in there with the mud and such it is not easy to pull out. Also the grate is helpful for keeping stuff out of the pipe and creating a clog inside it or further downstream. I think I do have one video posted where I just pull it out.
the Post10 algorithm expansion lives on
Please
I like you mentioning the crops you are growing. It gives more purpose for keeping the water flowing.
Let’s go let’s go adventure ❤️👵🇺🇸✌️🌺🌎🎉
What a frustrating watch ! Should have just grabbed the stick and pulled it out ! simple .
Sorry! I wish I would have had the gopro so I could have got it in there and showed why it wasn't coming out. Thanks for watching!
That was good you achieved a lot in a short time You are getting a dab hand with the fork 😂❤❤
Post 10 will get down there and get all the sticks first and then start cleaning it out.
It is so nice that you work so well together. I really enjoy your videos. God bless you and your families
On the boot advertisment you should show the tread design
Beavers are very industrious; they'll be back, and often they'll build back bigger & better. Picture the beaver doing the whole "Hold my beer..."
Very true!
538,512 have wagched this video as if 4/7/24 great video poor beavers need to find new location
I never imagined it would be viewed so many times! Thanks for watching!
That there potato fork works a whole lot better
Too much talking just do it bro
Thanks for the feedback!
You need to clear out the debri you allowed to pass by inside the cage!
Get some rubber gloves to pull out the sticks.
Put some 3/4 ply wood out on that frame if you drill a hole at the front and back you can lock it in place so the grate wont lean out and the wood wont slide.
Great work! Flow looks good and the sound is soothing.❤
You did well 👏
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
I think you need some chest waders.I’d try some tanerite.
He doesn’t need “tanerite” (tannerite) for these tiny blockages.
would be nice to see more of the exit pipes
Thanks for the feedback! I am recording content today and will keep that in mind.
Might make sense to attack the cause, beaver, rather than the result, dams and be done with it. Get a pair of hip boots and long gloves, helps a lot. We use swim through cage traps to trap them. Have trapped 1,931 so far in Comstock Cages.
I'm not sure how I missed this comment, but thank you. I will check it out. Subscribed too!
Thanks. We are always available not just to provide reliable and versatile equipment, but to explain exactly what we do and how we do it so that others will experience the same success that we do. Judy and I are both ready to help. We have many videos on TH-cam that provide on the job training. If you punch in Comstock beaver trap you can view them. @@BarrettFarms
Man they make a mess!
Very successful unclogging of those blocked grates. Nice water flows! 😊
So much water this week I was caught a bit off guard. Made for good flows though! Thanks for watching!
That’s where a backhoe or a excavator would have came in handy
I certainly could be!
So cool watching the water level go down! Guess it doesn't take much to entertain some people!
Por qué no usa directamente las manos para sacar el trozo de madera? No se quiere mojar?
Je me suis fait la même réflexion
Sí, durante los meses de invierno a veces intento evitar mojarme.
the sound of the water is so soothing!!
I enjoyed watching you clean the beaver damn out take your time everybody is too much in the rush to get somewhere yesterday or get it done I would like to see the other side when the water comes out and can somebody walk the river and clean up as you go down and show us how you do it or start from where it's shallow and walk towards the dam and clean everything out of the way so when you let the water go it won't get clogged on anything a nice troll through the woods would be nice keep up the good job
Thank you!
So glad we don't have beavers in the wild here in Australia!
They can create amazing habitats when they do it in the right place, usually away from spaces humans also occupy. In our case they are destructive and really only helping themselves. I think I would still take beavers over some of the other critters you have there! Thanks for watching!
Glad u have sponsors good job and thanks
lol I'm looking at those grates and a beaver is going to be like, 'Hey! That was nice of them to give me a backer for my dam!'
No, the beaver says "dang those grates are blocking me from carring building supplies inside the pipe so I guess I will build my dam out here on the other side of the grate"
I’m going to be moving to Nebraska when I fiend a better paying trucking job I just have to be careful because a lot of place don’t allow pits he is my driving partner
THE DAM BUSTERS be care full BEAVERS just mite have a CONTRACT out on you for home wrecking
They just may, eyes in the back of my head.
Подскажите, пожалуйста, ссылку на проект.
С уважением,
Just asking but are you from Maine? It seems folks in the New England states love fighting with the beavers!😊
Nope! I am in Arkansas. I bet the beavers are a lot worse up there.
You gained a subscriber on this one! I grew up on East Coast clay and could tell there was no getting down into that water safely. Best to stay dry and let the water do the work. Good decisions on your part and I thoroughly enjoyed it. As an aside, so many TH-camrs are having GoPro problems lately. I am wondering if their product lines are indeed too good to be true?
Thank you! The clay is tricky. About the only way to safely be on it is if it has a partial dam still underneath and you have something to pull yourself out with. I was in some today and it was like quicksand. My GoPro is the Hero7 and it's been okay but definitely had some quirks. I may upgrade soon¡
It’s like those beavers are building a few towns in the community.
Also ganz ehrlich so wie der sich bewegt kriegt der das nie frei.🤦🤦🤦 Und dann hat er auf jeden Fall die falschen Klamotten an für die Arbeit. Also ist das nur eine schau was der hier abzieht.👎👎👎👎
I sure did enjoy watching this video.... thank for sharing it....
That extremely long branch reminded me of a prehistoric teryldactyl
great video. Nice to see another part of the world. Greetings from Toronto, Canada
Well this can't be good ,Ya really need to clean the canals of dead trees so they can handle the water
I agree, ands it's not just dead ones. The living trees need to be cleared away from the waterways as well. We are working on it but it's a lot of trees.
Vous avez beaucoup de courage et de force mais pas les bons équipements ni outils. Cedt dommage.
I want to see what you are doing not the water.
Thanks for the feedback, I will keep that in mind next time! Thanks for watching!
You need waders. Your boots will be wrecked with the water.
Please show US your skill
You got your work cut out for you bro good luck👍
When they continue to maintain them, beaver damns are more effective that human made ones. 🇨🇦
They are quite skilled at what they do!
@@BarrettFarms They’re Canada’s national symbol of sovereignty.
If you don't remove the beavers, they will just rebuild it. Where I am from breaking beaver dams is illegal so be careful.
Yep, the earlier in the day that we can break them, the more water we get rid of before they come back that night. In my state, they actually pay you a bounty if you turn in beaver carcasses.
With the water coming into the pipe so fast, and coming out so slow...... I am thinking the pipe has alot a debri inside of it. Beavers are very smart.
Stay safe and groovy.
I would agree. Tentatively looking at trying to clear the inside in the next episode.
I think u need to call post10 to come to your property and give him a rake and point him in the right direction and u would have your problems solved and he would have a blast
Yes, for sure, I certainly wouldn't turn down a collaboration offer from post10, it would probably be a really fun time!
@@BarrettFarms you know it would because he is mental over culverts and I mean I've seen the man sleep in them but he loves doing it and don't care what anyone thinks God bless you sir and your family my friend
@@mikebaize6971 I have a huge tree next to one of my beaver dam locations that is split at the bottom and big enough to get in. I thought to myself Sunday that post10 would probably camp out in there!
@@BarrettFarms I would just about bet the farm on it that boy camps out in culverts under the root ball of a fallen tree homemade igloos so that tree would be right up his alley lol he really does care God bless you and your family my friend
triangle debris guard works better (my opinion)
I'm gonna look into building one and give it a try
Why can't you open the top of the culvert pipe along it's length, fix a cover or grate over the top that can be lifted to clear the culvert along it's length.
One thing the camera may not show well is this pipe is at the bottom of an embankment with just the very end of the pipe exposed. There is about 8ft of dirt covering the pipe. The biggest challenges are making sure none of the debris goes downstream for someone one else to deal with, the weight of mud and waterlogged debris, and the intelligence of the beaver.
Why do people watch someone else’s channel and go on about post 10? If you want to watch someone work the same way as post 10 then you should be watching post 10. It’s not that difficult to understand. This guy does things his way and he does a pretty good job. 🙄🙄🙄
I felt like standing up and slow clapping after reading your comment. I am constantly amazed at what seems like people mad because I'm not post 10 and posting beaver dam videos. Thanks for saying what I can only assume many people are thinking!
@@BarrettFarms You’re welcome my friend. Keep on being you.
How does one work without high enough boots ?
Interesting repurposing of a IBC cage.
Yep, the grates are just one of the few ways they live on around here.
Ain't no way Post 10 would have let that stick defeat him lol
We have a rule around here. Every time someone says post10, everyone takes a drink!
Is this guy too old to bend his been struggling to get out a stick stuck and still struggling
I do have some slight mobility issues but the beavers don't care. Still has to be dealt with.
Couldn't you take a pallet or planks with you to stand on,??????
Keeping the dirt built up on the sides works the best. It also creates a smaller channel for the beaver to use and aids in placing traps.
16:00 scoop it from the inside?
Get one of those pincher tools about 3 ft long. Grabs stuff.
Just the basic potato rake is quite amazing at grabbing stuff, its like having a 5ft long arm!
Beautiful, natural organic flow, what a picture. Don't overwhelmed the intake, you still have to clear the next culvert, good job done Champ
You look about my age. You need to get a young man to go to town on those. 😀
I'm no spring chicken, but I'm certainly not letting that keep me on the sidelines. Life doesn't always have to be lived like it's a marathon. Take it easy and enjoy every minute! Cheers!
I think you had to be better dressed for that work. You look like you don’t want to get wet!!!
Back then I didn't have chest waders. This water can be 6 feet deep or more depending on the day. I get in the water when the conditions allow it.
He literally said he wasn’t prepared to do this today, that’s probably why he’s not wearing appropriate clothes.
It needs a little bit of help
Have the Beavers filed a restraining order, yet?
I'd be happy with just a face to face meeting.
No sé cuál sea este lugar. Pero si todos los seres humanos nos interesara cuidar el medio ambiente que nos rodea, el mundo entero sería diferente.
Gracias a las personas que se tomaron el tiempo para realizar está limpieza.
Vivimos todos en un planeta que no podemos abandonar, por lo tanto nos debe interesar a todos.
Muchas gracias por su trabajo.
Pd: Tu qué lees este mensaje, acepta al Señor Jeshua en tu corazón y tendrás vida eterna!!!!!!❤❤❤
Для такой работы нужна спецодежда а не чистые туфли и джинсы. И нужно залезать и выгребать по полной !
А то что вы делаете это так сказать косметика !
Ma questo chi è non riesce togliere qualche foglia mi sembra impedito
you're a long way from post 10
That's cool, I in no way am trying to be post10. If you are looking for post10 type content, I recommend checking out the post10 channel on TH-cam. Thanks for watching!
you dont like wett vingers hahah
It's not so much the water, it's the beaver poop and other stuff I try to avoid 😀
Правильно Задорнов говорил.😂 Палку вытащит или нет .
Save the Beaver.
U have to get into the water to be able unclog
Just the thumbnail, let alone the video literally shows that's not true. I realize it might make for better content but not all culverts require getting into the water to unclog. We purposely use the mud we pull out to build out ground so we can stand on and easily unclog the pipe. We try to do what we can to not have to get in the water, especially during warm months due to certain water hazards.
What's up
Good job!
Cool
Hi
Too bad we can't hear you.
I was probably babbling some incoherent nonsense anyway. Kidding! Some of those earlier videos the audio was poor, apologies for that. I have some mics I try to use now if I am talking so audio should mostly be better, not always though. Our geographic location does like to be extremely windy a lot of the time.
Waders are needed for that kind of work.
I think that would be fun to do.
It kind of is!
You need some better tools 🥴
Feel free to make a donation 😀
Great job. Thanks. Chris from England
Thank you!
right now Post10 is somewhere doing something strange.
You're probably not wrong, and if he's recording it I'm sure it'll be great.
Excellent video and appreciate the hard work
New here, where are you,
Welcome! I am in Arkansas.
🇳🇴👍👍🎄
