DRAINING 6 FOOT OF HEIGHT BEAVER DAM!

  • Draining beaver dam which was 8 metres of width and almost 2 meters of height. This dam was near some historical place. The road which was nearby nearly under the water. I am sure in wet season it is! It's dangerous to drive there. But it took 2 days to me to reduce water level till bottom. Actually it's one of the biggest dams I've ever drained.

    The large hay roll looks like a mobile beaver lodge. You better be careful as they may be bringing in friends from far away, and they are bringing beaver caravans. Or even prefab housing like house trailers in the US. They are sneaky. 😆. what is the value of one of those hay rolls in Beaver Land, also known as Palanga, Lithuania area. They cost $30 to $100 in the US, depending on the grade of feed.

    Great technique to use a shovel to dig a wider and deeper channel. Most of that happens under water so we cannot see, but do you feel the water pressure change when you stand there?

    That hay bale is saturated with water, so it likely weighs more than a ton. It's probably not a good idea to stand next to it as you try your best to undermine it with your shovel. If it falls over you would be trapped and lucky to survive.

    Hi Keni, from Portland, OR. USA We have beavers, too.
    I'm looking at your small push saw. What you need is a GOMBOY Silky saw. Folder type . Teeth? choose Large Medium or Fine. Size? 150, 180, 200 mm. For your work incl. mud, water and stone, get large teeth. The Silky will cut on the pull stroke, not the push. Much better for what you do......
