Unclogging Culvert from Beavers

- This one is a little different. I don't get a lot of culvert jobs to do, but this one was pretty good. It is a good example of how quickly 🦫 's can make a road disappear. My 2nd camera battery was dead for some reason. It must have turned on in my bag. It would have been nice to see the other side of the culvert as the water drained. Another lesson learned...🤦 🔋
If you watch closely, you can see all the blood suckers and leaches swimming around my legs. This would have been the wrong one to fall in on.
Watch for the time-lapse version at the end of the video. 59:45
Tremendous job this time. Absolutely love your beautiful black shepherd. Pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Larry.
I should have been clearer. This wasn't my dog, lol. It was one of the landowners. But I definitely agree.
A nice opening of the culvert. Tremendous water flow! Enjoy the weekend, Gene, and see you on the next! 🙂👍🇺🇸
Thanks, Martin.
I will, you bet!

Wow! I did not think you were going to find that pipe. It was majorly buried. Your perseverance saved the day. With all the pushing and pulling you do to take down the dams and unclog the culverts, I would not want to get in an arm wrestling match with you. Another fun video in beautiful Canada!
Wow very fantastic your work gene ,take care always ,god bless you ❤
I wasn't sure that I was going to find it either, lol. You're not wrong, 💪💪💪, haha.
Thanks for watching, take care. 🙏
Thank you, 🙏
What a long work that was. Thank you for caring and doing so well.
Thanks, Dyana.
It took me a while to find it. Lol

Wow! That thing was packed solid. They had a lake going. Great job clearing it 😊
Thanks, Dee! I wasn't sure that I was going to find it. Lol
@@geneplumley4136 your persistence definitely paid off 😁
persistence paid off there. Good job Gene. And it was nice to see the flow on the other side of the road at the end there.
Hi Dale 👋
I had my doubts, lol. I wasn't sure that I was going to find it.
Thanks 🦫 🌊 🌊 🌊

If you pulled out the stuff at exit I wish we could have seen it,but one the best culvert uncloggings I've seen!
Hi Mark, 👋
Thank you very much.
I did pull out the sticks after a while. I waited until the water slowed down a bit. Most if it washed away. I was pretty disappointed when I went to turn on my 2nd 📷 lol. I got it all set up and everything, haha. It had to have turned on in my backpack.
You could see the gas bubbles coming up when you first got into the water and moved around in it and then when you got out you could see the leeches swimming around where you were standing. Took awhile, but you got it - nice work. Would have loved to see the other end of the culvert when you first broke it open.
Hi Allan, 👋 Thanks!
That happens at every dam or wherever there is fresh mud from 🦫's. I wish it smelled better, but I kind of like it, lol. The leaches were aggressive. I could see them swimming at my feet the whole time. And every time, I had to stick my hands in the water too, 😬.
I will get the low side next time for sure. I was pretty disappointed when I went to turn on my 2nd camera. 🤦
love your dog i had mine for 17 years and i miss her every day what a reward to see the water flowing at max great job Gene
Hi Ken, 👋 Thanks!
This is one of the landowners' dogs. I used to have a golden lab and still miss him very much as well. Another cool part of this job is that I often cross paths with lots of farm animals, especially dogs!
Well done Gene! 😊
Thanks, 2sillygrams!

The end of the culvert seen a little block... No?
Cool video 😊
Hi Lejoug 👋
Yes, it was. I cleared it out a bit after the water calmed down a bit.
Thanks! 🦫
Gene you do some really great one's but that was fantastic the best yet wow the things you get up to what ever next can't wait take care lad love you dog brill 😅
Thanks, Mark. 🙏
That was one of the landowners' dogs. He was allowed to come with me this time. It is his swimming spot, apparently. 🐕 💦 🌊
This was like your own Indiana Jones scene. "Why did it have to be LEECHES?!" They were really on the hunt!
I'm at about the 27:30 mark now and, I swear, I have never seen so many huge leeches! 😢 I would've noped out, waders or no waders! 😂🤣😂😁
Then you step out of the water and they all pop up to the surface, "HEY! Where's our MEAL?!" Good grief, that was creepy! 😂
They were terrible!!! Haha.
Hi Terri, 👋
I dreded every time I had to reach in the water for a stick! 🤠
@@geneplumley4136Hope you have a great weekend ahead, Gene! Looking forward to your next adventure!
Truly wish you had an outlet camera as well. Would have loved to see it break through.
Yes, it was disappointing for sure. I wrap the camera in a rag now so it won't get accidentally turned on in my backpack. 📷
Great work! And nice how you smile a lot😅! Glad you are persistent and put in the extra effort (not like some P10 guy that gives up so quickly these days)
Thanks, j cc d! 😁.
You gotta love what you do!!

That must have been plugged for quite awhile, Nice work.
Hey! Thanks!
It was. The 2 landowners there said it has been problems for as long as they have lived there. I am sure I will have to go back eventually....👍
Nice channel, I just subscribed.
@@geneplumley4136 Thanks!
Excellent job 👍
Thank you, Sophia! 🙏

Glad to see you Gene. I was worried about the water pressure sucking you into the culvert. You need to be carefull since you are alone and I don't think your dog could save you. Another project taken care of. One to the next one.
Hi Connie, 👋
That would be scary. 😳. I will be careful.
Thanks, and you bet!

Thanks!
Thanks, Janice!! 🙏
Could put a beaver grate in front of the culvert so they don't stuff it full of crap again, make it easier to clean a crate instead of a packed culvert.
Hi Terry, 👋
That's a good idea. A lot of the culverts have those installed around here. It sure makes it easier to fix. Or in this case find the culvert!
As an ending please show the water when nearly drained so total effect is seen pls
Love before n afters ✅👍🏾
Hi wisencareful, 👋
You bet, I will.
Thanks
Parabéns!
Sempre se dedicando no que faz.
Obrigado, Christina. 🙏.

I'm guessing that mess didn't happen overnight.
Hi Marilyn, 👋
No, the 2 landowners there said they have had 🦫 problems there forever. They usually take care of it themselves, but it is the towns responsibility, so lucky me, 👍
When i lived in northern Wisconsin, i remember those red bellied leeches crawling up my oars! Nasty creatures
Hi Judy, 👋
They are terrible! I used to catch/trap leaches for people who sell bait fish. Those ones had to be separated. They do not let go easily.....yuck!
Hi Gene
So where did you get the wolf?
I get that you are "in touch" with all the wildlife out on your own with just a rake to defend yourself. But but I didn't expect a wolf to turn up, lol.
(OK, he/she is probably just a regular dog, but in that setting, in Canada, wolf seems more appropriate).
Great job on the culvert.
But not sure I really want to see blood suckers and leeches swimming around, the water looked nice for a paddle....and then reality goes and spoils it. Seriously outside the UK, how does anybody survive?
Even the turtles snap.
Wolf! Haha. No, no. It was one of the landowners' dogs. He was definitely big, haha. I definitely belong out there....
Thanks. They are pretty gross those leaches. I wonder how many washed away. It would be a nice paddle, but don't fall in, lol.
Hi Gene! 👋🏼 Is that your black dog? Did you have fun removed beaver dam from culvert? As always be careful and be safe! 👍🏼😁
Hi Christine, 👋
No, that was one of the landowners' dogs. He was just tagging along. That is his swimming hole, lol.
It's always fun!
Thanks, will do. 👍
Good video would have like to seen exiting water 💦
Hey Sammy, 👋 Thanks.
Yea, no kidding. Next one, for sure. 👍
Is this your job? Are you a beaver whisperer? I heard you say something about asking the town if they would want you to open the culvert? Where is this beaver population? I live in Houston Tx. The closest that I've come to a beaver is the Discovery channel. 😆
Hi, upsjacki.
It is my job! I don't exactly whisper to them, though.😬 I am actually a trapper who gets hired by our town to go do this. Certain places are hard/costly to access with equipment. It's quite a bit cheaper to send me in with a 🛶 and 💪.
I am in Northern Ontario, Canada. 🇨🇦. We are pretty much over run with 🦫 's here.
ANOTHER DAY KNEE DEEP IN MUD AND WATER AND BUGS. GENE YOU ARE THE TOUGH AND HARD AS A ROCH . A GOOD MAN TO HAVE AS A FRIEND.OR HAVE TO WORK WITH HAY I THINK WE ARE FRIENDS I FOLLED YOU AROUND LAST YEAR AND IAM GLADE TO DO IT AGAIN. LOUIS
Hey Louis. I remember.
It's been a while.
