      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 creating these videos 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.
      Hope you would consider doing a video of you building a beaver dam analog in the future instead. :)
      Cheers!

    you might want to add a pitchfork and a pick axe, as well as both a shovel and a spade to your toolset. Also, for a dam that is as densely packed as this one was, there is a tool that generally speaking guys who do concrete work use, its kind of like a 6 foot long steel crowbar, they use it to drive into concrete after it has been jackhammered to pry it apart or to pry off concrete forms. One name brand is Marshalltowns's Big Bad Monster.

    While I’m a proponent of letting the water flow assist with deconstruction, these types of dams can be collapsed if you dig out the backside near the bottom. The pressure of the water against a slowly thinning wall will cause it to tip over. Quite a display that way and overall easier to do with a bang!

    Beavers are mother natures erosion control specialist, helping to conserve water and wetlands and providing a natural habitat for waterfowl, fish and all sorts of bugs and worms. I found many "benches" in the Appalachians that were old beaver dams. Virginia is the only state seeking to re-establish them to help stop the silt from entering the primary streams.

    I wish someone could take a video of the beavers actually making a dam. It's a shame to wreck all their dams as they can do a lot of good in the right places. I know, they do a lot of harm in the wrong places too. Ought to be a middle ground someplace where we can all live together peacefully.

    I was drinking in a bar when a beaver entered and showed to everyone there your youtube Channel and asking if we know where you live, of course we all said we never heard about you.
    After few drinks I asked the beaver what was he going to do if he find you, he said other angry beavers hired him to track you down and barricade your house so you will stop destroying their work 😜
