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 release videos on mondays and thursdays and sometimes a extra on saturdays.
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 dam 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.

Cant help but admire your achievements in clearing culverts. Some big trees were harmed while making this video. Mom was in serious move mode today.
I did wonder on moving that heavy log stuck on the end to the next one beside it ? My thoughts were to get it into the culvert it was in and next heavy fall would push it out.?
QQQ on other videos you have failed to lift heavy logs across a culvert as they are big and heavy , Have you considered a log roller to grip the log to roll it without trying to do your backs in. The longer a lever or fulcrum is the more chance it might move and not hurt you..
Stay safe Ladies .
Good job. Satisfying and exhausting.
I think you should do some merch. Some t-shirts with Jennifer saying "good grief" or mom saying "I got water in my boots" or one with mom and her pretty things (flowers, cabins, views). Love watching your channel :)
Question-fact 1) In this kind of work, what do you hate most and what do you like the most ?
2) Who start the idea to take care of the culverts?
Love the sound of the birds on the second culvert.
Love you two gals! My husband and I watch daily, enjoy the love you two share!
Today you showed turtles floating in the red river, how fun! Enjoy your comments on nature!
Thank you for taking us on your adventures, especially tours of the creeks and through the larger culverts. God bless!
Suggestion: use spray paint to mark on concrete where culverts are. Especially ones that are hard to find.
Love watching Lucy checking out the culverts and pasture of cows.
Good job! Enjoy your videos.
Hello Jen and Kimberley just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy watching your streams
Jen & your Mom do a great job.
I just want to say ty to Mom for always showing the beautiful wildflowers ❤.. love your videos ♥️💕♥️💕
Do you ever get rewarded for your bravery, courage, drive, and hard work from your community. If not, they should! Great work 👏. ❤❤
Great job Kim, although I’m worried if you’re all by yourself. Love the turtles sunning themselves on the floating wood. Whenever you can, save your backs. Thanks for another great video! 😎🇨🇦😎
I hope she was not alone. I was worried too.
Where is dad? I haven't seen him for a long time, especially with his chainsaw. Love your video's. Greetings from the Netherlands ❤.
🎉 great job.
Dang Momma about wore herself out in this one! Great video ladies!
"Mom" is a machine when she see's the work she wants to get done !!
I love exit videos played at the end so I can really see what happened.
That's my favorite flower, gardenia!
You are Wonder woman Kim! Clearing those big pipes by yourself and climbing in them, crazy.
You two can do it all, wildlife photography, tire repair, abandoned property investigation and drainage management. 😊😊 👍🏼
This reminds me of the reverse of a giant game of pik-up-sticks...
It has been a while for me. You popped up first thing, so it's time to watch. Thank you for all you do🎉🎉🎉. Nice job, ladies.❤❤
Do you report damaged culverts,and if so,do the authorities take note?
You do them an amazing service ,great work ladies
They will not replace it even if you do report it. They happen to be the ones that damage them using a backhoe or an excavator to clear it at some point. By they i mean the county/city/state
Have to laugh when I watch....
One down the culvert, two on the bank, one down the culvert, two on the bank 😂😅
Wow, Jen fixing her tire like it's nothing. Well done! Great video, ladies!
Mama does love her power tools!
When and why did you start clearing the culverts? I am originally from southern Kansas and seeing the low bridges bring back fond memories of fishing with my mother 🥰🥰
Look at all those turtles! The birds are either some type of swift or swallow, I think.
Hello ladies,what made you start your covet clearing. I really enjoy the places you visit some are so pretty. Keep up the good work & great videos
Besides large ponds and beaver swamps can stop wild fires from spreading.
Such gorgeous scenery! Great swimming spots!
thank you ladies. well done💯👍👍
Love your videos. I'm a bit older than Kim and wish I could do that sort of thing. I'm physically unable to however. I'm in Missouri and even your scenery is great.
Well done mum & Jen. Glad you had driven on from the snake before you had a flat tyre ❤❤
I just want to say I love watching all of ur all showes
Good Afternoon ladies.. all is good with me here, not much new.. puppies are getting BIG now.. 1 already has a good home to go to!! ❤
I ❤ the fun question-fact idea!! 😃 I'll start y'all off with 2 questiins I have:: #1) Jen.. Where did you get-purchase your big, almost full size water waders you wear in the beginning of this video; I think there pretty neat!!! 😉 #2) Do you both apply alot of bug spray when your out there that close to muddy, water?? I hope so.. 😬
Be careful mom
In the shade and daytime. Great vid. Stay safe
Question: Have the Cities and Counties that you work in recognized you for your contributions??
I think they should thank you in person.
Gran trabajo como siempre, mama super top ,un saludo.
First one here. Thanks ladies
Як завжди чудова робота, леді, ваша сила вражає
Your mom is tough!
Jennifer, I love white flowers, too! Somehow, they seem so beautiful and pure. Tulips are also one of my favs!
Thank you, Kim, for shoving those branches through the culvert. Even though you had to do extra work to clear another clog, it was super fun to watch! It's my fav part.
My burning question is: What made you two so interested in clearing culverts? It seems so fun and it seems like it's a great form of exercise!
Crop duster! Love it!!
Great job ladies
Aloha 🌺 Great Job Ladies! 🌺💐💖
another good clearance ladies
Another good job done....
How do farmers find new cows to buy?
They go thru a cattle-log...lol 😂 😅
And what do you call someone wo cares for chickens?
A chicken tender.
Good one 😂
It's looks like rye or barley. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
Once upon a time in the land of moving waters two young maidens lived…you get to finish this story!😊
Wow, I didn’t think that you would get all of those big logs through the culvert, especially the last one, but you did! Please be careful.
That was wheat growing. It looks like it's about ready to be picked. Your mom worries me when she does it by herself. Love your videos!!
I like that you do pick most of the trash, bottles, cans, the smaller stuff, do you recycle and donate? I know you can’t haul out tires, car parts, but it makes me crazy when the large (trash) is thrown in the beautiful rivers and creeks. You do a great job.💕❤️💕
No we don’t have a recycling in our area so it goes to the dump
Hola..te admiro Mamá Kim cuidate..❤ desde Chile 🇨🇱mis saludos a las dos.
Good afternoon everyone hope you are having a good day. Greetings from ohio.
Is Pops gonna come back and join you sometime? I'd love to see some of his makes from his workshop!
Love's the turtles. So cute.
Good to see you ladies again. Thanks for sharing another video with us. I always enjoy watching them. Question: Is Granny coming back in the Fall? Also wanted tell Mom I share your love of flowers and old houses/barns. I'm nearly 80 and y'all satisfy my need for adventure while stuck in this recliner. Keep up the good work!
Jen you and I like to get the job done , but your mom is a perfectionist,North Carolina cares
Great videos! Would love to see Jeff again with the chainsaw, helping you both out.
If you could have one thing in the world whether it's a animal or something material would would you have?. Awesome job x
If it's a puncture (Nail, screw) in your tire, it can easily be repaired. Repair kits, (Do not use the spray can stuff) where a piece of rubber is inserted in the hole, are available in many places. If you watch a CZcams how-to video, you will see how easy it is, Jenn. I don't know if Mom would be able to get the plug into the hole. I would suggest you carry a kit (They're pretty small), under your back seat; that way the rubber will be pliable even in winter and the adhesive more likely to work well.
BTW, if anyone ever uses a "Fix-a-flat-in-a-can", tell the tire 'guy' next time you're getting it replaced; they may need to take extra precautions!!!
A pair of bolt cutters, good for 14-gauge steel, should do the trick for cutting the metal culvert material. Another option, which may also help with 'overweight' branches is the IRWIN 218HP300 8-TPI & 18-TPI Combination Bow & Hacksaw.
The wireless mics that are on your Amazon wish list are available for US$29.99 on eBay right now.
It would be awesome, though, to see that huge tree sent through the culvert! You could sell tickets to that!
Question: What kind of culverts are your favourite to clear out?
I love your dedication and that it's both of you doing this. Great family fun time. My question is how did you start doing this and where is dad/husband always love when he is in the videos make for a different dynamic❤🎉.. keep up the good work and stay safe
I love lilacs.
Yes, lilacs smell wonderful
I like your battery powered pruning shears. I had to order one today to trim the 23± plants I have around my home. The long handled one is getting too cumbersome to use. It's going to Goodwill.
What made you decide to start clearing culverts? 😊
If there was one thing that you could get your city/county to do that would improve water flow, what would it be? Replacing old culverts? Cleaning away brush from the roadsides? Insisting that farmers keep the water flow clear on their land? I am sure you have lots of ideas.
Hello from England, what’s the worse animal you have encountered during a culvert unblocking? …. Keep up the good work. Love watching you both
❤
I do love the mix of hard work, nature & hearing from you both. I was wondering how you keep all your gear and tools clean. Do you have to off load the truck and wash everything down? Also, since you don't have a chain saw, have you thought about a hand saw at least to cut some of the medium sized logs that the small electric saw can't get? Maybe one of the folding saws?
My question is,do either of you have other children? Its always just you two ladies and Lucy and occasionally grandma. Love your videos! Thank you for your contributions!
Just tell me that you are having fun.
Must have been something real sharp to blow a tier like that
Me, too, Kim!
Field at the end...maybe wheat, barley or rye? 😊
Serious question,
Why are you two so adorable?
You moved some big logs!
Do people ever stop and ask what you are doing and do any offer to help.
We have had some ask what we are doing but no one has offered to help
Have you ever encountered beavers when breaking down the blockages.
No we have not
Here is a question i would like answered....... what made you guys decide to brave the elements, snakes, ect to clean out these culverts..... cause you two seem to do alot of work.... steve chandler... indianapolis indiana
It's def some sort of cereal crop or grass. Probably wheat. But I am NOT an expert.
Also, good job, Jen! Look @ you changing your own tire! Sometimes lug nuts are so tight! Way to go, Ladybug!
She changed the wheel, not the tyre.
Whose idea was it to begin cleaning up the culverts?
I miss Miss Lu...I hope she´s fine!
Love the fun fact idea!
How did you guys get started with doing this?
Turtles, chickens and deer. 😄
Oh my!
@@culvertsandmore 😎
and The SNAKE too 🐓
Do the locals appreciate what you do! Any news article about it?😮
There are rivers which are very rocky (not concrete lumps) where do they come from? I don’t see banks of river are rocky, guess in the past they washed down from somewhere.
You girls do a great job ,but I think were ever you can you should throw the branches to the bank of the river so they do not cause a blockage at the next culvert.
Kimberley, Kimberley, Kimberley if you don’t take care of your back, who will ?
What is your favorite family recipe?
Well Done again! Question How Many types of Poisonous Snakes are there in the States you cover? I have become a nervous wreck every time you go into a Culvert lol
The Red River isn’t in your job description.
That’s right 🤗
When you have too many questions you had no time to answer, then maybe make a Q & A.
Question. Why is the concrete foot of the bridges so high. Stuff will get stuck very easily.
It's a bad idea pushing stuff with the shaft of the rake pointing towards your body. I found this out when brushing and the brush suddenly caught on something and the shaft gave me a very hard poke in the groin.
Thanks for the warning
Question: how did you get started doing the clean outs and how long have you been doing it?
🌺
Good video, as always.
I wonder about poison ivy (which I think I can react to by just hearing it mentioned--so I can never do much out in “the woods” as the rash is awful).
Are neither of you allergic?
38:34 - Can't really tell from the footage, but if the ears have very short or next to no 'hairs' she's right. Long 'hairs it's either barley or rye. Rye and barley both have stacks (stacks are the long "hairs" that sit on the kernels), but they are longer on barley than on rye.
40:35 - Poke it with a stick already. 😉
