    FAQs/Why would they do that?! Answers
    We are so glad you are here! Welcome to our channel!
    1. We are in Oklahoma near the Arkansas border.
    2. We do this on a volunteer basis.
    3. Kim aka Mom is retired. Jennifer owns her own business as a massage therapist.
    4. We film multiple locations in one day since we can’t go out all the time given Jen’s full time job. You may not see all the locations we filmed that day in one video.
    5. You may see other people in our videos at times including Granny aka Sue (mom’s mom), Jeff (Kim’s husband and Jennifer’s dad), or Jessica (Jennifer’s little sister) and Lucy (our beautiful, amazing, wonderful dog).
    6. Many wonder why we put stuff down culverts. A few reasons: it provides help for wildlife, we like to and it would have gone downstream anyway. If it blocks another culvert then we will take care of that too but most of the locations we visit are in incredibly rural areas where there won’t be another culvert for miles.
    7. We care about wildlife and never want to cause harm to them. The only reason we will clear a beaver damn is if it is threatening land or roads that can not be accessed any other way. It may not be the road directly within sight but a farm road close by.
    8. We appreciate advice in the comments. We understand that we will receive constructive criticism in the comments. What we won’t allow is the calling of names, derogatory terms, or just plain calling us stupid or idiots. We are all adults here and the internet is already a largely negative place as it is, let’s not add to it. We are people doing our best to help our neighborhood and planet by picking up trash and clearing culverts. Why do we deserve hate for that?
    9. You may not agree with or like the way we did something but that doesn’t mean we did it wrong. There is a right/wrong way to dismantle a bomb. Clearing culverts is up for interpretation to the one doing the work.
    10. We hope that you enjoy our videos and will keep coming back for more! Any other questions you have feel free to ask in the comments.

    Tell mom we enjoy her showing us the changing scenery, flowers and especially walking down the creeks!
    Maybe show us more video of where the water comes from and where it goes.
    No complaints, it seems there is too much of that!
    You all do wonderful work! Its easy to be an armchair quarterback for too many!
    Looking forward to more adventures with y'all!

    I have to thank you for putting out this video at this time. For at least half an hour, I've been scrolling through the list of videos that CZcams 'suggested' and was running out of ones I'm willing to watch. What a relief when yours popped up! I Subscribe but being on a disability prevents me from financially supporting others. I can help you by always watching your videos to the end, so that's what I do.
    I know some of the work you do is hard work. I know it's appreciated by the local authorities and many members of the public. Budget constraints nowadays prevent our local 'works/roads' departments from regularly doing this maintenance work. Your work can save the local area a lot of money which transforms into increased taxes sometimes, so THANK YOU FOR THAT!

    That very first stop where Jenn knocked it out of the park. Watcher all of that debris get sucked in & the water being all clear by the time she was done. I could watch that over & over. Just something so satisfying seeing all of that get sucked up. Then again when I use to own a pool & ran the vacuum I loved watching all of the dirty & stuff on the bottom get sucked up. Fun fact. Don’t ever let the pool suction hose grab your inner thigh. I had to stick my finger between my leg & the hose to break the suction & get it off my leg. You want to talk about a perfect 2” circle hickey on your leg….😳🤣.

    42:34 suggestion: lay a piece of pipe in the culvert (from your dads tool) and get the angle of the culvert. Lay another on top of the road at the same angle as the one in the culvert. Bit should point pretty close to the opening of the culvert.

    You should have a search stick. It can be made from, for example, rebar of one meter. Jeff can make a mockery loss on one end. You can pop into the ground to find culverts.

    I can't stop thinking about that one that was clogged so bad you couldn't find the entrance. When you got the pole in to it's furthest point, maybe you could lay the pipe on the road in the same direction it was going underground so you might find the area the entrance could be? or at least where the blockage was.

      Poke it with a metal rod straight down in that mud. You probably missed it by inches. The tree shadow was going straight across so that could have been an indication too. Cudos for “Dads tool” try.😊
