    That really is a good rake you're using, Post. Much more effective for clearance than a standard garden rake seems to be. Great clearance! You're really doing great camera angles and shots these days, as well. I don't know if you read some books, or did an online course or something, but the quality of camera placement has improved since a couple years back for sure. I think the continuous shot while you moved cameras around was nice, because it didn't interrupt your verbal flow at all. Really did a nicer job of immersion without the cuts.

    I started watching your channel way back probably 3-4 years ago and at first I thought if you've seen one culvert unclogged then you've seen them all. Boy was I wrong! You've kept me coming back wanting more because you've made each video interesting and I've become addicted. Me, being an old geezer, I don't get out too much anymore so you have become an outlet for me to travel to places I have never seen before. Thanks for all you do. We need to nominate you for an award for the best U.S. Conservationist for outstanding love of animals and the environment. 🏆

      Those 4 tine rakes are OK, though I think he'd have better luck with one that cost more than $7. They make 3 tined rakes that use even heavier gauge rod and are nearly indestructible. I'd suggest he try one of those as well. You don't really need the width as much as simply the power to grab and yank hard.

    Be mindful of those lithium jumper packs. I had one that I loved for 3 years that worked flawlessly but one day (while unplugged) it buldged out and almost exploded and caught fire. If you keep that in your vehicle I would recommend a LiPo fireproof battery case. They're cheap and give you peace of mind.

    Another excellent and entertaining video, Post. I am glad that you are mostly using a 3 or 4 prong rake to unplug drain pipes. Much easier on your back. You are a very strong person and it would be easy to injure your lower back pulling on or lifting branches. I look forward to watching you unclog pipes for many years to come! Just take care of yourself physically. You are a professional athlete. Perhaps carry an extra 4 prong rake with you in your truck and a small handsaw. Keep making your videos and I will keep watching.

    • @ChristopherBix2
      @ChristopherBix2 Рік тому +1

      True. I live in an area that has several mussel beds. They were building a new bridge across the Mississippi here and had to take a lot of time to assess the mussel beds in the area and collect and relocate the threatened species.
      There even used to be a large industry near here where they'd harvest hundreds of thousands of mussel shells and punch small circles out of them, drill and polish them, and sell them for buttons before plastic made them obsolete. A huge industry for decades. I still occasionally will find a clam or mussel shell washed ashore with holes cut out of it.

    In the realm of water's flow and nature's tangle,
    Your trusty potato rake, peg #4, bids adieu.
    Through countless battles against debris and clogs,
    You stood strong, a warrior tried and true.
    From tangled branches to stubborn beaver dams,
    You valiantly fought to restore the natural way.
    Clearing the path for rivers to freely dance,
    Your tireless efforts, a debt we can never repay.
    Amidst the rush of water and untamed wild,
    You braved the elements with unwavering might.
    Clearing obstacles that impeded the flow,
    Guiding the rivers, their course shining bright.
    Now the time has come to lay you to rest,
    Your days of service have reached their end.
    Peg #4, you were a trooper, steadfast and true,
    A loyal companion, a loyal friend.
    May you find eternal peace, dear peg #4,
    In the hallowed grounds of rakes gone by.
    Your legacy lives on, forever in our hearts,
    A symbol of resilience, reaching for the sky.
    Rest easy now, alongside the potato rake,
    A final farewell to your days of strife.
    Your memory cherished, your presence missed,
    In the tapestry of our journey through life.
    RIP Potato Rake peg #4, you served us well,
    Your battles are over, your spirit now free.
    May your legacy inspire others to persist,
    As we bid you farewell, forever in memory.

    25:20 The beavers in the Piney Woods of East Texas can flood a creek bottom land and kill pines, oaks, and sweet gums. Creates a clearing even when the beaver dams get washed out. Beavers kept building tall dams on one creek, so the water, repeatedly flooded a hiking trail with three feet of water. We eventually abandoned the loop hiking trail in the creek bottom.
