There's a lot of skill in assessing the dam, knowing where to look to see if the dam might collapse and being able to get out the way. In this dam, a lot of those top sticks went right through creating holes which lead to the water eroding the mud from within. That dam came down quickly. Maybe younger beavers!
@@PreservationEnthusiast when i look at any of these hand-cleaning beaver dams its very dangerous doing it by hand when its a big one, some i have seen collapse so fast with a massive flow of water
Thank you for inviting suggestions. My suggestion is to do more of the before/after views from the drone as well as at ground level. I love the flyovers showing where the water's built up and then where it goes once you clear the dam. Thank you for sharing, a great collapse!
Thank you for the cultural information about Easter being such an important event in Lithuania. Your dam removals are always fun to watch, but the cultural information is also interesting.
Mantas, great video. Very interesting beaver dam destroyed, hope you and the family have a wonderful Easter service with your family and friends. Thanks for the video. David B.,Utah, USA. 🥰🥰❤❤❤.
Do you ever get to see the dams in construction by the beavers? It would be amazing to see a timelapse of a dam being built, or maybe rebuilt by the beavers after you have removed it. I love the sound of the water in your videos.
I enjoy watching your videos, its a stress reducer for me. I don't have any suggestions, I think your videos are informative and creative enough for the work you do. 👍
An excellent video, I appreciate the amount of effort you put into the work you do, well done. I hope you enjoy your Easter celebrations with your family and friends.
Easy one today it looked like. Mostly grass and reeds with some sticks mixed in. Not a big bank of mud either. Good, efficient work. Go eat your evening meal now with Roberta and Moma.
Suggestions? Keep doing just what you do. It would be interesting seeing where the water you release flows to. It's been something I've wondered about since I saw your first videos.
Great video , I enjoy watching your videos . I believe the deep pools in front of the dams is where the beaver push the material up . Keep up the great videos. I hope you enjoy Easter with your family . Happy Easter and stay safe my friend .
Happy Easter to you as well. I think the main reason your channel is popular is because of your wholesomeness and work ethic. Another is that as kids growing up, me and my friends loved to play in streams and build dams and generally enjoy being out in nature. I think you awaken that old memory and that is satisfying, hence your channel. 80 yo in CT, USA.
Hello Kenislovas! I have noticed your editing skills are getting very good. I see that you have been making your videos quicker and more watchable. Great job! That is one of the best ways to grow your channel. One of my favorite parts of watching the videos, though, is watching the very beggining when the water starts slowly coming out. I think most people find that to be boring, so I totally understand why you cut most of it out. I have a suggestion! Maybe you can make a second channel where you post the full, longer videos without having to cut as much of the content out. You can post the unedited versions on the second channel for those who like the long, relaxing versions, and then on the main channel you can focus on making exciting videos for new viewers. A win-win situation! (ps. Happy Easter. Loving the Lithuania facts!)
I am glad you mentioned Easter. When I was dating a beautiful woman from Lithuania when I lived in Omaha Nebraska, the Lithuanian community was very close and the Church was very important. Have a wonderful, blessed, and truly wonderful Easter. He has Risen!!!
Dismantling these dams is an art not a science. I would not presume to tell Picasso how to hold his brush! Likewise I hope you continue to be yourself!
Thank you for the request idea! I wonder if one day if it is safe to do so! you could place a camera further down the river/drainage system so we could see the tsunami as it makes it's way! I remember a video where you chased it and that was very good although don't want you getting out of breath! also if you get another frozen one (maybe to late) you could keep a camera pointing at the ice to hear it cracking and collapsing! But mainly what you do is Fantastic and I find you video's very soothing from the sound of the water to your voice you speak at the right level unlike others (post10) who shouts a lot!!!
Instead of doing all that hard work with the tools, have you tried just getting there really early in the morning and giving it coffee? Does the trick for me every time!
Очень интересно смотреть коллапс дамбы. Может быть стоит начинать разбирать плотину снизу, что бы было масштабнее разрушение? Хотя это конечно опасно 🤔
A 'different' idea? : In your town, I assume you've got a number of younger children? What about a paper or wooden boat (or something they could make that would float), which has to be biodegradable in case it gets lost, race? If there's no beaver dam within walking distance for them, you could have your drone film the whole race (I would guess you might need a hand to put the 'boats' in the water just before you release the water, or just as the dam collapses. Putting all the boats in a large tub/bin or garbage bag so someone can release them all at once. It would be excellent if the channel flowed to town , so the kids could see the 'boats' arrive, but I guess that's unlikely. Just an idea for you to toy/play with.
Hey Papa, It is Holy Week in Montreal. Easter will follow. The most important religious event of the year here. We will have the Easter Vigil Fire/Candle service beginning outside this year. It is almost 9pm on Tuesday and it is (+8c) and we have the windows open for a second night in a row.
You do a great job - Forrests dont like sobbing in water! Only tree that loves that is the Alder tree💯 Everyone Else die!!! Seen Many dead trees in Many videos 🤷🏼♂️
I really enjoyed this one. I know you enjoy to collapse the damp. I was thinking the other day I miss sometimes how you used to do this from the top. Perhaps you could mix it up a bit. I enjoy watching the work you do. :)
Hi, I'm from Ukraine. I regularly watch your videos and admire your work. I don't understand English well, age. You can see the subtitles in Ukrainian.
I love your drone shots! However, I would like to see shots both at lower altitudes and high ones. Sometimes the high ones don't really show how much water is really there. Your temperaturesa seem close to what we are getting in Ottawa, Canada, but we don't have much green up yet. My tulips have just started poking their heads through and I have a couplke crocuses up.
What looked like a beaver went under the grass, in a hole I imagine. Funny because as soon as I commented about a beaver looks like you may have seen it too and went up to that patch of grass to check it out.
Would it be possible to put an under water camera to the side at an angle we could see it fold over n all the water flowing? Upstream, near the clump of grass. My favorites are the tall ones you dig out the bottom and top rolls over. Thank you for all the great videos!
Great job on that one. One thing that I'd like to find out. So far all the dam removal work you have done has been to reduce of eliminate flooding. In some cases the landowners concern is less about the flooding but more about the damage to trees. For that reason dam removal, while important takes second place to relocation or eliminating the beavers to stop the distruction of trees. Is there any concern there about the damage to trees? As you stated, the beavers don't re-use the material you pull out when you remove a dam so that means they are going someplace to cut and drag new materials for their dams. Are land owners not concerned about that at all?
Hi Mantas. great video. If you are open to suggestions perhaps you could make comments during the breaks you sometimes take and describe the dam, the water flow, etc. I often wonder with you walking on top of the dam what it feels like underfoot, how strong the current is, are the sticks and branches fresh or old and brittle, is there any foul odours when you dig the dam mud loose, how bad the insects are, species of fish, sittings of beavers when you are around their dams, general interest stuff that would explain more to the viewer. Anyway, just suggestions. Take care
Since you are asking for suggestions, it would be nice to see a time lapse of the water behind the dam receding.
Keep up the great work!
Don't know why it is so satisfying to watch you work. But I truly enjoy your videos.
In my case, I love work. I could watch people do it all day!
@@georgesebastian6306 lol me too, sit in my armchair whole day and watch people working

@@eisbeinGermany He has some big collapses on video. Search through his older videos and you'll find some.
Thank you for inviting suggestions. My suggestion is to do more of the before/after views from the drone as well as at ground level. I love the flyovers showing where the water's built up and then where it goes once you clear the dam.
Thank you for sharing, a great collapse!
Great video.
I believe it collapsed before you even thought it might!
Great work, KeniS!
You're holiday schedule is correct sir! Bless you and your family always 😊
WOW!! Dam rollover in stages! Exciting!👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻. But all of your videos are great to me🥰😘
Right I love to hear the sound of the water flow.
Have a very happy and blessed Easter!!
Another great video. Glad you and your family will be celebrating Easter, the Resurrection.
Watching you work makes me wish I had beaver dams near me.😊
Same here,
Love to see a time lapse at the end to appreciate how much water there was. Good vid as always. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you very much!
I really like seeing the totally drained endings. Like right before you pack up and go home how it is looking then.
You have tenacious beavers in your country.
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and listening to the sounds of the rushing water. It's very calming.
Very calming 🙂
I would like to see a time lapse video pointing behind the beaver dam, to watch the water drop from the pond. Love your videos thanks.
Excellent work. Video recording is great. I like the replays of the dam falling. 😊
Thank you for the cultural information about Easter being such an important event in Lithuania. Your dam removals are always fun to watch, but the cultural information is also interesting.
Would like to see the before and after comparison, you did it for a couple of your dams, would be nice to see it every time. Good job ;)
Great Camera placement. Big views on both. Good Job. Kudos!!!!!!!!
That went real good,..enjoy your videos,..and drone pictures,..
Fabulous job taking the dam out! I hope you are doing well, and your family is also.
Thank you! All is good :)
a camera downstream of the damn might be interesting to see the water come down the channel. Especially with collapses
Mantas, great video. Very interesting beaver dam destroyed, hope you and the family have a wonderful Easter service with your family and friends. Thanks for the video. David B.,Utah, USA. 🥰🥰❤❤❤.

Unfortunately I didn't understand what he said to comment on. Great job. It's amazing to see which log that is taking out "breaks the camel's back."
Wow! That drained down fast
You've done well on this removal. It's calm water, now.
Hi, I am from Bangladesh. I like your videos.
Absolutely awesome job. My only request, stay safe.
I enjoy watching your videos, its a stress reducer for me. I don't have any suggestions, I think your videos are informative and creative enough for the work you do. 👍

Another dramatic dam collapse !! The attention you pay towards Subtle movement made your safe escape look effortless !!
I wouldn't spoil the dam collapse at the beginning of the videos, it's the best part!! :)) all the best
Suggestions? Keep doing just what you do. It would be interesting seeing where the water you release flows to. It's been something I've wondered about since I saw your first videos.
More drone, I like high overhead, but a nice slow flight down the channel to see where water goes. Just wonder what it looks like. Thanks man!
Happy Easter to you and your family, Kenislovas
Like the way you do things now. Just keep it up.
Very nice camera angles. Great video, as usual.
WOW!!! That didn't take long. Nice💯
A job well done . Enjoy your videos and keep them coming.
Thanks!
I asked before. A head camera would be cool so we can see what you see. Keep up the good work
Maybe Easter is the most important but not possible without the birth in which we celebrate Christmas. Have a good Easter Sunday with your family.
Easter is the most important, Good Friday is the most impactful
Lots of work, thank you for sharing your efforts.
Great video , I enjoy watching your videos . I believe the deep pools in front of the dams is where the beaver push the material up . Keep up the great videos. I hope you enjoy Easter with your family . Happy Easter and stay safe my friend .
Greetings from the BIG SKY Tight quarters.
Awesome video, took it right down. Great to watch.
A fine dismantling this day. Tremendous water flow. You’re the best, Mantas! See you on the next! 🇱🇹🙂👍🇺🇸
Awesome video. Goid collapse and fast drainage❤
Great video! Suggestion, dress up as a beaver and construct a dam. I don’t think it’s been done so you could be the first!
Great video as always Mantas
great work, I enjoy all your videos
Great video. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
nice, no more dam, those beavers will be very angry, mission accomplished. :)
Happy Easter to you as well. I think the main reason your channel is popular is because of your wholesomeness and work ethic.

Wow you wipe that dam out great job.
Oh boy, those beaver know how to build.
Yes they are better than us at building dams. That's a fact.
A easygoing guy and a young family a great combination
You got to their dam before the beavers had finished it, taking it apart is easier when the beavers aren't done. Good one.

I don’t like seeing the collapse before it happens at the beginning!…I close my eyes 👀 😂 ❤😊🇬🇧
I am glad you mentioned Easter. When I was dating a beautiful woman from Lithuania when I lived in Omaha Nebraska, the Lithuanian community was very close and the Church was very important. Have a wonderful, blessed, and truly wonderful Easter. He has Risen!!!
Another fantastic removal 👏 ❤
Dismantling these dams is an art not a science. I would not presume to tell Picasso how to hold his brush! Likewise I hope you continue to be yourself!
20ºC for Easter weekend in Lithuania, rain, snow, strong winds and huge swell in Portugal. Go figure this weather...
Thank you for the request idea! I wonder if one day if it is safe to do so! you could place a camera further down the river/drainage system so we could see the tsunami as it makes it's way!

Here's a suggestion. I think we should rate the quality of the beaver dam .
Always enjoyable. Thank you for your energy and service.
Instead of doing all that hard work with the tools, have you tried just getting there really early in the morning and giving it coffee? Does the trick for me every time!
Очень интересно смотреть коллапс дамбы. Может быть стоит начинать разбирать плотину снизу, что бы было масштабнее разрушение? Хотя это конечно опасно 🤔
Great video Mantas and yes HE IS RISEN. Easter is too often forgotten in today's world.
Great job

Hopefully one day you can get yourself one of those small Chinese diggers and make your venture of clearing these dams quicker.
Hopefully it will not be a chinese machine. Old Europe first 😂😜🤠🧐
Awesome job!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
U looks very innocent n.beautiful I love u your broken
English n your comments t
Lovely thks n best rgds rafiq

Happy that I have been able to join!
Thank you very much for being here!

Too bad you don't have the BASSMASTRT CLASSIC to celebrate in the Spring.

Taking requests is very considerate of you.

Witam i pozdrawiam serdecznie całą rodzinę 👋👍🇵🇱
I enjoy the little bits you tell us about Lithuanian culture - I live on an island in the South Pacific and we are abit geographically challenged haha
Well done nice removal, have a lovely Easter
Very cool.

Are land owners not concerned about that at all?
I would like to see drone footage of the area before you start removing the dam. then a final drone pass after so we can see the difference.
This dam seemed to be less structurally sound than others. Maybe built by apprentice beavers?
Hi Mantas. great video. If you are open to suggestions perhaps you could make comments during the breaks you sometimes take and describe the dam, the water flow, etc. I often wonder with you walking on top of the dam what it feels like underfoot, how strong the current is, are the sticks and branches fresh or old and brittle, is there any foul odours when you dig the dam mud loose, how bad the insects are, species of fish, sittings of beavers when you are around their dams, general interest stuff that would explain more to the viewer.
