Unclogging Culverts

- I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards. Thanks for watching.

Anyone else remember the days when Post10 would just clear street drains with his feet? Then he got a rake and there's no stopping him now. LOL
FYI Update - My comment above was in no way a complaint. I was just reminiscing about way back when Post10 started. I wasn't trying to imply that I didn't like what he was doing now and/or requesting he do anything different. Just wanted to make that clear.
one day he'll rock up in an excavator
Yep
I remember him cleaning his fish tanks with a sucker fish
Lol
we didn’t even know what he looked like back then! I miss those massive street flood draining! And who can forget feeding his leech on his arm 🤢😱
When you clear these it also helps animals in the forest to have water
You do such good work for the environment
I have a childrens play fountain thingy, and I left it in the backyard with water in it, then I noticed a couple days later that there was raccoon prints on the edge of it. Now I fill it with water all the time and I feed raccoons cats foxes skunks birds and squirrels. I am thinking of setting up a deer cam to really see what's going on. Now I can't get rid of the water because all these animals rely on it. Pretty cool huh?
Such beautiful areas you visit. Thanks Post! Scenery is awesome.
Facts
Those moss covered rocks were so pretty 💚💚💚 Made me think of a calendar picture.
You should do a tools of the trade video. SHow the camera setup, trail cams, waders, history of the rakes, anti-dam grates, why you wear what you wear (bright orange) etc... might be a cool view for us to see behind the scenes.
And open a merch store selling post 10 rakes.
I agree! I'm a fan of education. I absolutely love post 10's knowledge of the trade, the areas history, & his fun facts about nature & it's inhabitants.
He has a Q&A on his other Channel New England wildlife and more.
He should start a culvert manufacturing company with slogan "Riveted together with pride".
@@Pwecko I just noticed when I use the app on my phone directly under the first comment is a listing of his merch store items. At this time there are no rakes but there are some other items. The logistics of selling and shipping could be quite difficult, but it would probably be a good seller 👍🏻🦫🦫🕷🕷😀
That 2nd culvert took me back to my creek-walking days: I loved going through the middle of town in this secret, lush corridor of trees, brush and flowing water. Picking blackberries, minnows nibbling my sandaled feet, counting the crawdads... Keep up the good work, post 10.
Nice job as usual! Not to sound like a broken record man, but you seriously need eye protection stomping through all those trees & bushes. Love you vids, keep up the great work!
What's wrong with being a broken record man/dog...? I digitally restore broken records all the time!
(Jk, I agree about the eye protection just as much as ear protection is important for my purposes.)
@@zarroth I think you should read our comments again. We didn't say to wear ear plugs while out in the woods. Maybe if you have a death wish I guess. I'm very familiar with the outdoors and woods btw. I have great respect for wildlife & the woods the live in. Eye protection IS important. Whether your mowing your lawn (have a rock or any debris flying at your face and you'll never be without safety glasses) or out in the woods (like post 10) yanking, pulling on sticks, branches or just walking through wooded areas. We all tend to take our senses for granted or just don't think about it until you lose one of them. It can happen fast before you know it.
@@djhrecordhound4391 Lmao what
@@djhrecordhound4391 .....why would you need ear protection? What you don't want to hear something coming up on you?
@@dwarfdigger135 Maybe because of the simple miracle that I work in audio restorations after having both eardrums broken as a toddler...?
Because of earplugs, I can go to any live band performance, use any loud machine, then STILL hear (and fix) tiny defects from old media.
Are those enough reasons for me to use HEARING PROTECTION for using a chainsaw, genius...????
Hey Post!! I like seeing all the dried up water beds start flowing again each time you unclog a culvert. I love hearing the sound of the water. Keep the videos coming Post. Love them.
Area around that big culvert looks so nice and peaceful.
The science of fluid dynamics is an amazing thing. It almost seems to do the impossible. Sink holes are crazy to think about...
Not everyone from Québec is like that. Unfortunately you crossed the path of an idiot. I hope this did not hurt our reputation. Nice video as always! 😁 You should come visit Québec one day! There are plenty nature and culverts waiting for you there and I am sure you would really enjoy the area!
and lots of people who pretend to not know english and will curse at you in french
One of the things I love is just seeing all the beautiful scenery in the places you travel to.
Cute little froggie. Hope he doesn't get hurt. I think the beavers were removed. So glad you take with you Postie. So much fun watching your videos.
As a Canadian, I am sorry for the inconsiderate French tourists you had to deal with. Tourists of all kinds do the same thing here in cottage country as well. Keep making the great videos. Definitely looking forward to the camping in that culvert video in a few years.
Was going to leave a similar message. As a Canadian myself some of the most ignorant and inconsiderate people I’ve ran into come from Quebec.
@@88clemoine I think there are inconsiderate people everywhere... I promise you there are plenty good people in Québec 😁
@@etienneblanchette7847 true comment
@etienneblanchette7847 I am one of those good Quebec people. I had the same experience as post10 here in Quebec most recently, so I can relate to that.
I'm really liking when you show more of the area around the culverts. I've got nasty allergies and I would never be able to see that sort of thing on my own.
And @post 10 says "LET THERE BE WATER" and there was water. Great job
YES, you'd be able to call Post 10 both Flo AND Eddie!!!!
(Too bad no one will get that, but to music fans it's a good joke...)
That large culvert pipe in the UK would be worth quite a bit in scrap. I'm surprised it wasn't taken away by the contractors for scrap.
I love watching these adventures you go on. And I’ve just released how much I love being outside. I wish I could go on these adventures with you.
Just started watching, I’ve been binging all your videos today. You need your own show, just travel all around doing this. I love when you explain everything in perfect detail. Huge fan, thank you.
those moldy rocks look super pretty 🥺
Nice work man. I’ve been watching for a bit. I know this summer has been dry up in the northeast (I’m in Georgia as of now) but I hope to see more street flood clearing.
If there's sinkholes underneath that second culvert pipe, the riveted one, then all that cast iron is probably the only thing still holding that road together. It's become a support strut.
After goin through the culvert, U took the words right out of my mouth! Truly enjoyed the seneries. Ur videos takes a lot off my mind while I'm watching. Stay safe and stay blessed😊
The 2nd culvert! What a beautiful place😍
For the non- Americans here, what is the correct etiquette for fuel stations? In the UK, the guys behaviour is actually normal. You cant actually move your car until you have entered the store to pay for fuel. Even if its a pay at the pump station- you leave your car where it is to enter the store. Maybe its because our petrol stations are fairly small usually?
When I came back to the UK after living in the Middle East for years where moving after filling up is what you do, I moved my car after filling up to let the person behind me get to the pump. Next thing the station owner came running out to stop me driving off for not paying!! Different etiquette I now know😊
Grew up with (long gone) heavy duty trucks and cringed thinking of your car driving over those culvert bumps!
Loved the relaxed toad friend!
The day/night time lapse was interesting!
Thanks for more great videos/scenery! 👍 🖖
That stream is soo beautiful 😍 I have to agree with you!!
One just loves that rake best tool ever! Ty again for a wonderful podcast!!
Love watching your channel from Perth scotland
Post, I’ve said this before but I’m saying it again. You are fearless! You go where no one else would dare to venture and all of it to the benefit of nature.
OMG, Look and listen to that. Fantastic post. 10 👍👍👍👍👍👍
As the year winds down I am once again gonna suggest Post make a tour shirt. "The Reverse Beaver 2022 Tour" with dates of some videos on the back like tour dates, The Kmart Sinkhole, The Lake Drain, The Triangle Trash Rack, The Intake Structure, The North Woods, et cetera. That would be awesome. Make it all retro 80s since everyone is still riding the 80s metal thing cause of Stranger Things this year!
Yes
props for STILL doing this. i remember seeing these videos like 1-2 years ago.
The Culvert King strikes again! Hooray!!!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
Post you wouldn't have even needed a title lol. As soon as that rake head came in view a few seconds in and I knew what you were going to do! 😂 💖🤗
No better way to start your day then with "an idiot with an excavator".
This man is a legend in his own life time unfortunately in years to come he will become a urban myth that someone helped his community for free in his own time people won’t believe there were people like this around.. grandparents will say how when they ere kids they caught ax glimps of his high vis as they sat in the back of there parents car people will laugh and humour the old folk thinking there going mad in there old age.. post 10 thankyou for making your vids it has brought me a lot of pleasure YNWA
In a 100 years he is a cryptid
Interesting stuff thanks. Chris from England
Can tell by the title alone that this is a classic. Love your videos as always!
When Post 10 says a place is creepy, then you know it really is creepy. Wonder what made it that way.
You’re so knowledgeable.. just a wide span of knowledge 👨🎓 Impressive to say the least 👍
An update on the two gasoline tank culverts would be appreciated.
Good video to listen/watch while I do my own cleaning.
Dear post, thank you for the awesome tour!
Are you familiar with the works of Craig Sponholtz and Brad Lancaster about erosion control, landscape recovery and water harvesting? Maybe your viewers would be interested in that stuff as well, seeing how the changing climate is gonna be affecting everybody, more people could have more awareness of these guys. Cheers from Germany
It looks so much cooler there than it is here in the UK. 🙂👍
Always an adventure, enjoy watching your travels
Bless you for helping nature & humans❤️⚘️❤️
Post 10....saving yet another culvert from the "idiot with an excavator." I believe the Rake of Power remains undefeated.
Y'know, there's a psychedelic song title somewhere in all of this...
"Post 10 Brings The Rakes Of Power Against The Excavator Idiots" or something similar
Still love your vids man been subbed for a long time (i love to unclog drains i just cant go anywhere)
Definitely need to visit the eerie creepy culvert and feeding stream during the rainy season or post snow melt.
LOL as soon as I saw the big culvert they left on the side, I thought, "Oh, yeah, he's definitely gonna camp in that" 😃
You have inspired me to unclog all drains in my area. The floods are now nonexistent. It has become my passion. Even now, as I am typing this, I long for the feel of wet sopping tree branches and leaves. My neighbors look at me in awe. I am now referred to as the swamp lady. Sometimes I gather the clutter that's preventing the water from flowing, and leave it on my neighbor's doorstep as a present. If I die, my last wish would be for my dead body to float down all the rivers I have unclogged.
Just love your videos keep em coming!
Great video!
That racoon spooked me, great video man :D
Sometimes I miss the New England scenery. Fortunately I can watch your videos so I get my "fix". Thank you!
Post, I wanted your thoughts. I live in London, Uk where they have recently intentionally introduced beavers back into the local ecosystem. The argument is that their dams can prevent flooding downstream. Does this have any merit?
7:22 Sure is a Kodak moment. 6:00 Was a tense moment, could of been a bear in there napping in the cool shade. Awesome Post 10, you do find alot of beautiful places ,just be careful . M.
Apparently someone is on a anti beaver project to remove and either relocate or destroy the beavers as you've been finding few if any beaver dams or clogs lately, good for the back roads but not the environment, still love watching you getting out and about to show us what nature has to show us thanks for what you do Post 10 and Ghost 👻 10
My man, you need gloves and goggles. Even when i worked this sort of thing, we had to have hardhats and the works. Most of the time we’d be working in +40•c degree weather and we’d still have to wear jeans and a long shirt with a high vis vest.
People question why construction and public workers take long breaks, its because we would die otherwise. I’d be screamed at by passerby’s whenever id be working on ditches and road repairs and sitting on the side of the road drinking water. I always wanted to scream “im dying here.”
You’re doing really good work my man. I just want to make sure you’re staying safe and healthy while doing what ya do. Some good goat or deer leather gloves go for 10-15$, US bucks cause not sure about Canadian, high vis vest go for less, and some places sell decent hardhats for around $20, so probably less in Canadian currency.
Just wanna make sure you’re safe my man.
Keep up the good work. 👉😎👉
Post, have you ever thought about bringing a jack or something like that to pry open crushed culvert openings?
My daily view. love it!
Again love you vids
The chap with QC plates, we here in Ontario understand completely.
I was remembering the exact same thing!! I vote for more drain-clearing videis - rake OR feet!
That first culvert was surprising! Since I couldn't see the water, I wasn't expecting that big gush. Nice work! Thanks for another great video.
EDIT: I wonder what the etiquette is for gas pumps in Quebec? Maybe there are rules about moving your car before you pay, or maybe the guy comes from a place where pumps never get backed up? Just wondering... 👋🏼🙋🏽♀️✌🏽
Same etiquette in QC, especially in country gas stations. Dude was just inconsiderate or dumb.
Great video. Thank you for providing good wholesome content.
I have a theory that Post 10 goes out the night before dressed as a beaver and clogs all the culverts, then comes back the next day all annoyed and unclogs them again.
That's how he seems to know exactly where all the 'beaver dams' are, and why he rarely actually captures a beaver on video 😉
Post is a National Treasure!
fantastic video..
All that bark might be from loading the trailers with poplar. We call them "peelers" because of how the bark just falls off like a banana peel. Hauling poplar is like hauling ice cubes...so slippery. Most people from Quebec hate us Americans... Not all, but most are very rude and condescending.
Awesome 👌 vid P10
Such beautiful country up there
Thanks for another great upload post!
Camping in the abandoned culvert sounds fun might even catch some nosy animals or strange traffic in the wilderness if you set up some cameras outside, cause I'm sure nobody would suspect anyone would be in there! 😉👍
Was thinking of the large plastic culverts that were lying unused, cut into sections could be used for raised planting beds.
This man is addictive.........
I can appreciate you showing us that great country, and working hard as well! It strikes me that you should watch out for Redcoats you never know:)
I hope the beavers have been transferred to other areas. Love the trips around isolated forests.
At least you caught a raccoon in the camera. That's unusual/interesting enough, for people out there who don't get to see much of any wildlife. Where I live there's too much... We've (collective we, neighborhood) captured somewhere around 24 skunks, in the last month and a half.
lucky frog lol....it was a good feeling when the water came through, i can imagine how you felt!
I was born in Quebec province, grew up in a village on the south shore of Montreal. 25 years ago this year I moved to Taiwan, then spent a few years in Shanghai and finally came back in Taipei. In all those years I have bumped into people from Quebec that were strangers to me and I can remember that most were acting like jerks at a point when I started to feel uneasy. That guy waving at you in the car and leaving his car there, that was 100% done on purpose. He grew up getting brainwashed by the local news, the government and gossips, and doesn't know that he has to behave when he's outside the province. Go read about the Chinese story of the frog in a pot hole. BTW, that story is not related to our nickname.
Being raised in Quebec (province) I hate jerks like that!!!! 😡😡😡😡😤😤
Being in a rural community , with 1 station, when encored this situation I get mad!💥
Do know I always try to leave space behind me for this sort of situation!!!🙂
As far as I know, he was raised in a city situation!!!
Sorry you had to endured this!!!😭
The way you were raking that is the exact same way my mom used to comb my hair 😅😖
7:09 It looks like those boulders prevented them from installing the culvert flat so they just put it in on its side. That is why it is sticking out of the road.
I love that comment about the toad, "a very calm toad"
Good old fashioned unclogging !!!
Thank you , Post
That mossy 'gully'/stream bed (7:28) looks like it should be made into a puzzle. Lots of people would love to put that puzzle together and then seal it and hang it up. // That road that had the 3 crushed/above the road metal culverts - were they ever replaced?
Awesome 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍
Great video!
👍👍👍👊😎
The old iron culvert is so cool. I was thinking it could be turned into a cabin for camping. Or a rain shelter.
WE love CULVERTS!
Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose but interesting video Cheers.
The large riveted culvert pipe looks like an old smoke stack pipe.
"I don't think it's beavers ..."
Now I want a series similar to X-Files but for the DoT.
Great content as always. But I have to ask, what was it about the place around 6 minutes that came off as creepy and eerie to you? I've rarely heard you describe the places you explore this way so it must have made an impression
I mean, he did say part of what made it creepy. The dark void underneath the rock he was standing on, and then the darkness inside the culvert when he went into it probably didn't help, I imagine
"this is a very calm toad" proceeds to chase it through the brush lol
You should get yourself a big 4/4 truck and just roll right over culverts and debris. Also, could you do some spirit box conversations at abandoned places? That would be awesome. You can purchase everything you need on eBay. 😀👍🙏
I will when I can afford it.
@@post.10 Whoo hoo! Awesome!
4:15 we’re simultaneously seeing 3 different versions of the same sight lol
At night they call him Post 10... but during the day he's know as the Culvert Man!. hehe ok bad joke I know.
Wouldn't his heroic fanfare sound more like plumbing gurgles though...? Inquiring minds wanna know 🤣
Somehow managed to watch this video on Memorial Day and it threw me for a loop when Post mentioned it around 20:37 D:
