Richer Beaver Dam Removal #4

- Last day here and dam number #4 was huge! I did not get in the water at the bridge this time. I cut through the bush along the road. Getting the canoe out after was a bit difficult once the water dropped. The weather did not disappoint.....
That's it for this job, 4 less dams now anyway. I am sure I will be back again in the near future. This was a good one for animal & critter photos. I don't often see that many moose in the same area. - Zábava
One of the best parts of your videos is the fantastic Canadian countryside!
Thanks, Southern Biscuits! I love it here and am never leaving, lol. 🌞 🌳 💧 🌧 ❄️

It's the best place for lunch. 👀

What a great intro! The sunrise, the mama and baby moose (who are becoming some of my favorite animals), and that beaver that gave you the stink eye. Looking forward to watching this one today! Looks like it is going to be a doozy. Wishing you another wonderful weekend, Gene!
Thank you, Lightwavz. 🙏
It was a pretty good day. It's very hard to beat days like that.

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO GENE PLUMLEY 😊
Thanks, Randy. 👍
I am ready for spring! We just got a foot of snow. ❄️
A massive dam dismantling today. A task well performed. Quite impressive to watch the takedown. Enjoy your weekend, Gene! See you on the next! 😊
Thanks, Martin, 🙏
It was a rather large one this time, 💪.
Same to you, until the next one!

Great job, Gene! That was a really wide one, I didn't think you were ever going to get to the front. Seemed like you were just throwing sticks for like 4 hours or so. Lol! Take care and thanks for the videos.
Hi Larry, 👋
Thanks.
Yes, that was a big one. 🦫 🪵 💥 🌊 🌊
Must feel weird, knowing all those little angry eyes are staring daggers at you the entire time😂🤣👍
They don't scare me, Judy, haha.

hi Gene that bottle of water must have been great after that huge job the weather changed quickly on you but hey its only rain keeps everything green and healthy got to say I enjoyed your camera work thanks for sharing hope you have a great weekend until the next time
Hey Ken, 👋
It sure did! 👍
I like the rain 🌧 🌦 🌩 Not every day, but it is nice every once in a while.
I got pretty lucky catching 📸 that cow and calf moose, 🫎. It's hard to drop the paddle and grab the camera quickly in a canoe wearing waders, lol. The bugs are the worst. You just have to let them eat you while you are 🎥 haha.
Thanks, same to you. 🙏
You're a good man. Excellent work - stick by stick - hard work and you did ut without any winging - kudos.
Thanks, 🙏.
I try. Haha.
I save the whining for the winter. You know, because I can't be doing this, 😆.

Thanks, Mark!
I love the 🌦 🌧 🌩.
Maybe not every day, but it's nice sometimes.
Very satisfying
Thanks, Dave!
Hi Gene nice work ,take care and god bless you ❤
Thank you, Avelina. 🙏

there was water running under it..................was there any particular reason for dismantling that lovely pond? I have no sound so you might have explained in the beginning.
Hi Bev.
You bet. This was causing flooding upstream to the point that our town/municipality commissioned me to go do this. It was flooding a farmers hay field. It wasn't a pond but a stream that affects several properties if the water level raises.
That was a lot of dam! The camera might struggle in the cold, but no problem with a heavy rain shower! Good job.
Thanks, Dale!
I put an 🌂 over the camera!! Lol. One rain drop on the lense, and it's over, haha. The cold is another beast
I got some really good ideas from you guys to try this coming winter.

I think this channel should be called "demolition man". That dam was biggggggggggggggggg!
😆,
It's not a bad idea. Lol
I definitely need a channel name, but it's hard to decide.
Thanks, Sarit. 🙏

Excellent
Thank you, She. 🙏

Nicely done! I only wish you’d have thrown aside that big piece near the end…😵💫 🤣 👋🏻

Thanks! Bernd! 🙏
What do you think how many night the beavers take to build this dam??
This one would have taken beavers quite a while to build up. I was here last year, so it took less than a year for them to build it.
They can make a pretty big dam in just a couple of days, though.

Hi Gene
Really didn't like seeing that rain. We have had constant rain in the UK for weeks (and it's cold) so I much prefer seeing some sun for a change.
Great job as usual, that was a big one.
Loved the lobster, or was it a crayfish? Can you eat them? Or is it only salt water ones?
There you are....😆, 👋
Sorry about your weather..... 🌧
I have to admit, I kind of like the rain, lol.
I am sure I would feel the same way you do after a few straight weeks of it, though.
It was a crayfish 🦞. That is a really good question! I had no idea, so I looked it up. Apparently, you can eat them!?! I am going to check this out and try them. They are very abundant here.
How long does it take for a beaver to make the dam of this size
Hi Mark.
They usually work as a team but not very long. I cleared out this area a year ago. They can back up water like this in just a couple of weeks, depending on the supply of water.
Are you volunteering or are u getting paid for the job on hand
Believe it or not, I get paid. Normally, in the past, I would remove the beavers, and the town would take care of the dam. With rising costs in fuel and labor, I can price the jobs much lower and still earn a good buck. Plus, I don't spill gas or oil, and I don't need to make a trail through the bush just to get to the dam. And I can let the water out slowly so as not to cause flooding downstream.
Do you go back to the dam that you worked on
I haven't gotten called back to that one yet. I am sure the beavers will be back to it again soon, though .
It appears to me if the beavers were going to cause such a big problem why did tgey let this dam get so big before doing anything😅
Hi Wendi, 👋
I remember this place. The farmer didn't notice this until he went out to check his hay fields before cutting. Then he noticed the high water. Also, like every form of government, things move slowly. Several weeks usually go by before I even get called about it.
Your camera is going to need danger money!
Hahaha 😆.
Or replacement 💰 🤑 💸 💲 🪙
It's like musle memory from years of dam pulling without a 📷.
very relexing to watch. However, the last 2 mintues is the best!
Hi, Hd Lim. 👋
I have to agree. I like the time-lapse version better. I already saw the slow version up close, haha. I will continue to add that part to the end of the videos.👍
Thanks for watching, 🙏

That would have been fun, 💥 🌊 🌊 🌊
Wer dein Video verfolgt, wird feststellen das du gründlich Arbeitest
Thanks, Bernd!
HAY A REAL LIVE ANIMAL SHOW ,I WOULD LIKE TO BE THERE.DID YOU RIDE YOUR CANOE THIS TIME ? IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HADE PLENTY OF WATER. WELL YOU COULD RIIDDE UP AND DOWN WHAT WATER YOU HAD. IA'M STILLL WAITING FOR MY CONOE RIDE DOWN THE LONG WATER.HAYY YOU THINK ITS GOING TO RAIN ?
Yes, I was in the canoe filming the moose and beaver.
I am not sure if it will rain.
I more than anything do find the flowing of water immensely satisfying. I used to love beaver dam removal videos, but I have since realized how much ecological value such structures add by slowing the water, recharging the aquifer, making the plants downstream grow much more resilient to changes in weather, and not to mention providing habitat for countless species by creating diversity in riverscapes with side channels and ponds of varying depths. And they do all of that for free.
Post10 only does removals when a dam creates a hazard to infrastructure and I find that approach muuch more ecologically sound.
There are plenty of other channels on yt that have information on river restoration efforts and the true value of beavers and their dams, how some people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to create log structures to mimic the beaver dam.
I know this provides financial incentive to you, but perhaps you can assess with the about information, if your next dam removal is doing good or harm to the environment. Summers are hotter than ever, and beaver dams simply cannot burn.
Cheers
I do this as a job for our township. I get paid to go do this. The dams you see me pulling are causing flooding on either roads, culverts, farm fields, or people's houses. I am not sure why you assumed otherwise? I did this for years long before I recorded it for CZcams, 👍.
There were 10 beavers building at this dam. And you are all alone.
I know, it's totally unfair for them, haha. It will take more than 10 🦫's to stop me!!! 💪 💪 💪

Mustbe paid by the hour. Ifit took twenty clicks to make a clue this huy wouldnt have a click.
I don't get it....??
with editing, gene plumley could have told this story in 15 minutes
Yet I chose to edit it this way....🫨🫨🫨
I'm not gonna lie, though. I prefer the time-lapse versions, too. I will continue to add them at the end of the videos. There seems to be an audience for both.
Thanks for watching, 👍
I like the longer format thanks. I have an attention span of longer than 15 minutes.

@@geodezix that's one hell of an assumption you make there. Absolutely no need to make personal insults.
