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 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.

So many culverts. You two deserve an award from the community for the work you do
Since I found your channel, I've been looking at culverts and ditches in a new light.
Lucy, Certified Culvert Inspector! Thank you for another terrific video from my two favourite ladies. 🙋🇨🇦🙋
Yeah. A video and it's one hour!!!. Thank you both❤❤❤😊
Your Mums like a machine when she gets going your also fantastic Jen. A friend from the UK x
Don’t worry about the shadow,we come for your magnificent work. Stay safe.😊😊😊😊😊
I love Lucy. She is so dainty and coy when she is curious. So sweet.
I have a suggestion for those bent and torn rusty culverts. You should carry tin snips with you in the truck. A small battery operated grinder would be ideal but tin snips are better that nothing.
You three put in a full day's work in this video! Thanks for your hard work & Lucy's QC. I love the image of her in the truck mirror at the end.
I’ve watched all your videos and some twice. Favorite is the low water bridges.
Lucy is such an incredible dog! Her recall is fantastic and she’s so inquisitive! Always making sure her Mama and Sissy are safe! Goes to show you that rescues are perfect!! ❤
What a wonderful job ladies and it is so cute that Miss Lou loves to go and help you guys out 🐕😁😄
Your videos get better and better. You two do a great service for your community.
Thank you very much!
Love the way Mum went Deaf on the last but one! Technically it's my Turn! you'll have to shout next time Jen!
Excellent work y’all. Bonus points for behind the back stick flinging. 😁
Jennifer, you got a lot of that “Big Girl”! Let it shine! I’m a fan of your “Big Girl”!🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Well done the dynamic trio❤❤❤
You are wonderful! That was a lot of hard work!
Lucy.....quality control. 😂
Why I earth would a farmer put a fence that close to the culverts. Illogical. I come way back in time from farm Life.
Thank you sharing your life journeys. Makes me want get out and help.
Great job as always Ladies,and your Lucey is adorable protector.
The people probably have livestock that could use the creek to get out.
The only thing that you can really do is report him to the DOT for negligence in maintaining his property easement by allowing flooding and destruction of road to happen. I noticed several times when you're working and you put the potato take down, it lands with the tines facing up. If you should happen to stumble you could easily impale yourself on it. And you obviously aren't near a medical facility. Just be mindful of how the rake lands, turn it over to face downward and take care of yourselves.
Things that I like and don’t like about your videos
Like:
1- very contentious about not blocking what is being recorded. (Many people could learn a lot from you)
2- do a great service to your community
3- like the small talk between both of you
4- creative regarding the use of home made tools to get around issues that are a problem.
5- evaluate the situation and solve it in a logical manner
6- aware of your personal safety. Getting sucked into a culvert pipe is not a good time
7- not doing something stupid, then have someone copy what you did and get hurt.
8- including family members as they pop up in a video, guess granny is back north.
9- maintain your personal privacy but share a few bits of information general location, what Jen does for a living. This is a hard thing to balance and still build a viewer connection. You don’t want to have everyone show up for dinner some evening.
10- humorous in a nice way.
11- I can watch them with my 7 year old grandson and not worry worry about crude language or inappropriate jokes
12- I could go on but this is enough.
Things I don’t like:
1- I can’t think of anything in particular at this time. 😮
Keep doing exactly what you’re doing Ladies . No changes are needed.
We love this and that you watch with your grandkid!
@@culvertsandmore I wish you could report to the county about fences holding back water but I am sure they can see all that damage and nothing is done. It would be way worse if not for you.
Avete setacciato tutta la regione .Brave come al solito.
The suction on some of those culverts is crazy…you gotta be super careful 😮
The landowner forgot to put a cable across the Creek to keep the fence from getting forced against culverts in the bridge
I love it when you two let stuff go thru the culverts. Especially when we get to see it come out the other end. It's my fav part! 😊
always wondered: could a somewhat big/strong magnet on a string help in finding "hidden" metal culverts?
+1hour video. Woohoo!
Keep them coming lol😊
THE BEST channel on CZcams…..you girls are wonderful thank you for all your hard work and great content 🏆❤️🏆
Oh my Lucy is so cute!!
super job
Wow, another long episode! I really enjoyed that. Thank you, ladies, well done! Hugs for Miss Lucy 😊
You two are funny
Great job on these, ladies! Wow, that one big beaver blockage culvert where the road washed out...wasn't that just a new bridge last year?! Those bridges and roads just stand zero chance with your rains and a blocked culvert! Nature is an amazing force!
Standing in front of any culvert with fast flowing water or one that's about to let go is very risky and a very dangerous thing to do. If you get stuck inside that culvert, well you can imagine. What is your emergency plan for getting stuck at the entrance?
If you think you are not in danger OK fine. But think about all the people watching your videos and copying you. Those people will be in danger. They don't have the knowledge of post10.
Hai Miss Lucy tolong jaga Jenifer dan mama ya❤❤❤
Son and I have taken to picking up debris near the small creek by us. We can fill a small bag or a few big bags, depends on if it's rained recently.
That’s great 😊
This was a nice job. The maintenance is paying off.
Good video Jen,Kim and Miss Lucy !!!!!
Kim, Jen, Lucy, you are awsome!
This is just what I needed today. Last week my youngest great grandson, was running to me while bent down with my arms outstretched for a hug and he decided to bend his knees…. I don’t know how many muscles I pulled. It felt like he was a hundred pound sack of potatoes pulling me down! It sometimes hurts to breathe and it kills to move, period. Tylenol extra’s not working well today. Why are you so far Jennifer?? 🥹🥹 On the other hand, I have never seen a turtle with a tail like that one…got me smiling in wonder. Take care you two! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
If you were close I would work that out for you 😩😁
Great as always, ladies.😊
Every one needs a overseer/site manager/ inspection officer
Thumbs up ladies!😊
Super job. I love your videos and your supervisor too. 😅
Thanks once again!
Jennifer, “Big Girl Magic”!🧡🧡🧡⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The turtle is beautiful
Snapper turtles are busy this year in Maine too. Most I've seen in years
As always, great work❤️
Hiya ladies. Greetings from Glasgow, Scotland. Stay well xx
Another great video 🎉🎉
Great job, i don't know how you do it..
Great job ladies
Great work as always! Doing well in New Jersey.
Buen trabajo, un saludo.
Loving the 🐢! We're under a high heat warning, indexes up to if not over 100* here in southeast Indiana.
You should think of using your to help pull some tough logs out of culverts eg the prickle type tree on the culvert concrete bridge about half way thru the video where mom crawls on the side of the ‘bridge’ me posted 2nd time
He might change those fences if the county charges him for the maintenance and repairs to the road caused by his too small fench
But the county hasn't been. Do Kim and Jen contribute to that by their services? Many questions and egos to consider. But, either way, they should be lauded for their efforts.
Love love Lucy. ❤️ aventureous Lucy.
thank you ladies, take care and yes those stickers(from past video) are friendly. what breed is Ms Lucie,? what a great cute GOOD doggie companion ❤ TY
Lucy is a rescue so we don’t know but the vet said she did have some pitbull in her
I think you need a mother-in-law persuader also known as a crowbar to maybe help bend up those metal culverts when they’re collapsed in. The crowbar is a lot stronger than the stick at the end of your potato rake.
Tree rolling is not so heavy as tree lifting.
#makeiteasynotheavy
Also sweet Lucy
Did you contact the owner of said fence and get them to undertake a re think of their fencing ideas? Being a bit sarcastic if you get my drift. Also how far does the county own from the edge of the road till the owners fence line starts? As the county road owners would also need to know as per damage to their road and culverts by said water and restrictions caused by so called fence.
Inspector Lucy❤❤❤
Jen, should I order your doughnut cushion now? Look at the 28-minute mark. You came about two inches from squatting on your potato rake. Would suggest a little girl with freckles tattoo on your backside to hide it😂😂😂😂😂
We never have fences in water like that and when it is it is put in connection with the drains but never past the drain holes becose of this kind of things,and if it is bevers they put the metal covering the drain so it is easy to lift off and put back but never ever do we put fences all over
Great video again. For some reason, I don't get notifications on my Kindle Firewhen a new video on my comes out. Ive tried every thing. So I go to your page every other day to check so I don't miss one! I've seen 100% of y'alls videos.
our videos come out every Monday and Thursday at 11am central time.
Just a question, why do you rake the stuff from the ditches up to the road? When the cars and trucks go by its just going to get blown back in the ditch
❤
Good job today. Lots of clean outs WITH YOUR BARE HANDS! And Jen was hovering above the tines of the rake with her backside facing and while tugging on branches. It’s gonna happen one of these days…rake in your ass!😢
I can't understand why you always leave the red checkered shirt in the water. A wet shirt does not protect against wind and cold 😉 You are doing a very good job 👍 respect
You all are doing a good but it looks like the state needs to do some road work.
Can you not get the people who put the fence up to fix it. It’s pointless if it blocks the culvert because you can’t clear it!! ⭐⭐
That culvert with all the pallets looks to me like someone who doesn’t want to spend any money so they just find stuff to use. That doesn’t mean they are poor. I worked for a woman who had literally millions in the stock market but would just take pieces of paper towels to clean something up. She had a kennel with about 20 toy poodles. One day she went grocery shopping and the next morning we found one of those roasted chickens they sell at Walmart that didn’t get put away with the rest of the groceries. The dogs had dragged it across the kennel floor and chewed on it. She ATE IT and expected me to eat it! She was a legend on the show dog circuit for her miserliness. That was over 20 years ago and she is now retired.
Wow
Too bad that you can’t help the farmer out and build him a new fence that works better
How can the farmer build a chain fence so stupidly through the water in front of a Culvert?
Can't the farmer imagine that all the leaves, etc., would be gets caught in it during a flood and thus prevents drainage and the water only builds up unnecessarily?
Do you think your opinion would change if one of his cow was all over the hood of your vehicle?
Lucy is a lucky dog! She gets to sniff all those places!
If the owner won’t change the fence. Then why help him with it. You two are just to kind hearted. I just hate to see you two work so hard. When there are plenty of other places to go to. Love your videos so please be careful and stay safe.
they're doing it because we like to watch culvert clearing videos, and thus they can make money off of it
On that one, I would just ignore it, the farmer doesn’t seem to care, the county doesn’t care, only you two do, one or both of you are going to get hurt trying to do a good deed. I would leave that one until she whole thing gets fixed. But that’s only my opinion.
If you keep putting the branches just on the banks,the next big storm will just block the culverts again
they are dealing with peoples private property you cant just throw debris across the road on someone elses land.
Now you tell me I can't do that 😂
30:46 I don’t like anything about this at all! Ha
People watching, be careful with waders because if you catch a current in them then you’re getting pulled with it!
You might need jeff on that one with his chainsaw
Why do they put a fence in front of the culverts
To keep the cattle in.
Все хвалят этих женщин. Да, интересный контент. Но, неужели, все считают это женским делом?! Кроме граблей никакой техники, кроме сапог никакой защитной одежды.
Работа- « здравствуй, радикулит»
Women’s work, men’s work? Who cares. If it needs to be done why can’t we.
If the men had done the work in the first place then these women would not have HAD to do this. Do you do any care in your neighbourhood? Of the culverts, pipes and drains or just sit about and complain?
Isn’t it snake 🐍 season there?
It is now but the video you watched today was filmed earlier before snakes were out
First
Almost!
All I'm going to say is that no wonder ya all are loosing subs your is nice and friendly but she needs to run the camera and throw the logs and sticks higher from the the pipes and don't boss Jen and use your saw have good day
we aren't losing subs.
Why you didn't cut those branches is beyond me. Standing there pushing it with the rake was non-productive.
What about snakes? Don't like you sticking your hands in the culverts.
Your mum is in the swing of things and cannot stop!!ha! ha !
