Sign should’ve read “trail closed until Post 10 gets here”
😹😹
True to that
I agree 100%
🎃🎃🎃
Im surprised the beavers didn't put up a wanted poster with his face on it yet. 😂
I like to think of some guy sitting in the backyard enjoying his little creek that runs behind his house. It doesn't flow like it used but then Post 10 comes along, clearing the clog upstream and a torrent of water comes shooting through and he's like WTF?!?
The Kelley's Creek flood video comes to mind...
Well find the guy. Don't break a fingernail...
Well that sounds pretty accurate
Shaking his fist at the sky shouting POST 10!!!!
I thought the same thing!
I don't know how I found this channel or why I've watched dozens of these videos now, but this guy's enthusiasm for this is awesome and his sense of civic duty more than commendable.
The beavers are looking at each other scratching their heads asking, “how did he find us??? The man is everywhere !!! “.
Post 10: starts unclogging Beavers: Ah sh*t, here we go again
This is a little place I've been going for a few decades now and the dam has always been in this deteriorating State and the signs that went up is just a form of laziness instead of unclogging the problem. The reason the dam is in a failing state in the first place is because they allow this clog to form overtime and in the winter the high water freezes breaking the dam. If they would just keep up with maintenance the deterioration would have never happened.
Definitely enjoy when U do the split screen of the progression of the water flow as you unclog the dam
I'm simply blown away by your energy, knowledge, and thoughtfulness. This is truly some of the best content on this site and definitely what this world needs more of. You are an exceptional human, and it is truly an honor to share the planet with people like you. Take care of yourself (continue being safe!), and thank you so much for taking the time to share yourself with the world. I wish you nothing but happiness and all the best
You do an excellent public service. There will always be the naysayers and under miners, but you carry on - we need people who are part of the solution, not part of the problem. Greetings from New Zealand.
Hey Post10, great job on that clog. I was wondering if that was silt built up in a cone before the spillway or was that poured concrete? When the water was blasting I didn’t see as much of it go away as I had expected which led me to think it was concrete? Will you be going back and clearing the debris below the dam this week too? Maybe you should bring a picnic lunch for you and your lady friend? 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😉
To be fair, the path could be posted as closed, due to the poor condition of the bridge and the broken concrete.
In my county, we have many projects like this hiking trail/dam. They were made in the 1930-40's by the WPA and our CCC. Maintenance is our generation's responsibility - not every county has a Post 10. You are a hero to all who love nature - thank you!
Sharp-eyed fans of Post 10 were treated to a glimpse of the ever-steady camera operator, Ghost 10, if only as a shadow. Good to have someone nearby in case that monstrous flow caught you up! Another superb video!
Damn youuuu! I thought I was special lol
That's a she... I think that's his GF or Sister I guess.. :)
@@jhrdailies in some places, that’s the same person. Lol
I was wondering in another video why he kept saying “we” and “us”. Now I know! Lol
YUPS!!!

Let us appreciate how our dear *post 10* fixed the issue in less time than it took someone to order a sign manufactured for closing the pass. Problem solved by a man of action. Take notes bureaucrats~📜
To be fair, the problem looks to be a lot worse than just a clog, and Post 10 said so himself: the wooden bridge is rotten and falling apart, and the concrete's deteriorated to the point that the walkway would be risky even if the water wasn't cresting over it. The whole dam will probably have to be re-done or at the very least heavily refurbished, and that's the kind of effort that takes a minute to manage, especially when you consider the fact that infrastructure country-wide's been deteriorating for years due to neglect and financial issues.
@@LabTech41 even if they want to keep the sign up due to general deterioration of the walkway, they still should have spent 5 minutes to unclog the spillway, to prevent further rapid deterioration.
Wow. You really are a hero. No joke. Workers just put up a sign but you go out and do something about. This world needs more people like you. Thanks for your efforts. 😊
I’ve watched a number of your videos and have to say that you’d make a great science/environmental science teacher. Kids could learn so much by going out and learning about beavers, their dams, and how everything works.
He is so knowledgeable. He could teach kids (and adults) alot.
That level drop was satisfying to watch, Post. Thanks.
How did you comment 6 hours ago when it says it’s only been uploaded like 10 seconds ago?

Posty
You’re absolutely correct, it took someone more time to print and laminate those signs than it took to clear the clog. Just another example of a jobsworth! Well done Post10 for saving the day.
I mean even after the water dropped it really didn't look safe to travel on
"Courier, Gothic or Helvetica for the signs?" "One color or two?" Decisions can take hours... 😜
@@burg0110 Allowing a dam to be overtopped is far more dangerous because if the dam fails due to being overtopped, then you are going to have an increase in flow no matter what.
Why work? When you have a government job and government pension . You might hurt your back or slip and need a year off with pay
I am guessing this is only a temporary fix if the problem is beavers creating the dam.
I just realized you had a non-timelapsed version of This. And I am so happy! 😊
The sound of the running water and the sun sparkling on the water makes for a soothing experience. Calming and chill.

Post does the work of an entire DOT crew
What's amazing to me is that he doesn't sit around waiting to be told to do something or asking if he can do it. Just does it! Thanks POST 10!
the closure could also be because of the condition of the cement and the wooden structure over over the dam. they MAY come and fix it in a couple years or so. lol Good work Post!
Nice footage by Ghost10, she's improving her skills quite alot!
Hopefully we’ll get to meet her!
Ghost10 is great name!
It takes a minute to realize it's a handheld shot. Very steady hands.
Looked like tripod footage 👌 would love to see ghost 10 in an up coming video, topnotch work ghost 10 👌👌
Mrs. 10? :)
Humans: Let's build a sidewalk. Beavers: Thanks for building the foundation for us!
I've been sick with the flu and discovered this channel - you've somehow kept me mesmerized for hours Good stuff.
Yes, put a sign up and do nothing about! Good hearted people like Post! Will do it for ya! Much love! I recently had surgery on my ankle. 2 screws and plates. Stumbled upon this channel. Really helps me get away from stress and depression.
That bridge was about to become a raft.
Ghost10 is a perfect name for your friend like the other comment suggested! I'm so happy you found someone that enjoys doing what you love too. I'm rooting for you :)
Us too! (Me & my family) ;)
He's a lucky young man, I agree! 😃 It's important to have at least *some* overlap in interests with one's partner! 🙂
When I was a kid, we had a very small stream that ran through the farm. During the drought days, it still trickled like a creek. But sometimes, we'd walk up the hill and it would be blocked and we'd unblock it and the water ran smoothly again. It came down the mountain and ran into a culvert and across and down the property until it met our farm. So when it was unblocked we had nice clean water to use for the garden. I'm surprised that more people don't go out and unclog these. Just as he did in this video. Don't they wonder why their water has slowed down or stopped? When I saw that water gush, wow. That's water power.
When I was a kid, the coolest playgrounds were the ones with waterpumps, where you could make tiny rivers, dams and so on and watch the water flow after it overcame an obstruction. I think these videos tap into that childhood joy. Also, that area seems rather beautiful! Good job making it accessible for people again!
Mrs 10 is a godamn gimbal, no human can hold that steady 😁👍
You can hold a DSLR quite steady by holding your arms against your chest with one hand underneath the lens
@@orfeous you must be the life of a party 🤣
14:29, exactly what I was asking! Post 10, that worker spent way more time putting both those signs together and mounted them than it would have taken him/her to simply unclog the dam.
2SiccAudio; water to wet and cold to do that. Easier to make a sign, not boots on hand for worker would be my guess.
Bridge and sidewalk condition too
I don't know what I find so relaxing about watching trapped water get freed but I even find myself clearing away leaves and mud from drains and street gutters when I'm taking the dog out. Not full-on Post10 style, just a bit with my foot most of the time.
One of the most satisfying uncloggings. That flow looked pretty powerful, wouldn't want to slip in there.
that was cool . when you first started i dint even think it was a dam . dint look like there was anything there like that . after i could not beleave how much room was under that bridge . i will say i was a little worried about your safety . that was alot of flow . great job was very fun to watch . best wishes to you and ghost ten .
This might be one of the coolest names on YT. lol!
Holy crap I thought you were going to be washed under that little bridge at one point! The current kept getting stronger and stronger - That was an excellent bring-it-back to the level it belongs, episode.
It's nice to see how much you care about something most people never think about. Be safe out there!
Not a lot of people can say they leave the world a better place each day but post10 can. We all need to find a way to improve our own communities in the spirit of post10.
I want a cartoon series of Post10 againsy the beavers. In every episode the beavers try to outdo themselves building crazy dams and Post taking on the challenge and coming on top.
Or how about a video game?! How fun!
great camera job, Ghost 10
I can always enjoy experiencing the unclogging of waterways. Post10 is the MAN! 🍻👏
It’s incredible how quickly the water level drops after Post 10 does his magic.
The louder the water blasted, the more I wanted to close my eyes.. So soothing to listen to.. Well done post..🙂👌
Tell the adds come on lol 😂🤣🤣 i
Take care of yourself my friend, I know that you are making a great effort and your situation is in danger. I am Nabil your friend from Algeria
Post you should get an award for all you do. Honestly, you're like on community volunteer that travels four states in the surrounding area to make nature more compatible for wildlife and humans to co exist. It's a real shame that those in charge of that trail would rather close a trail area. Than clean it up so it remains passable. In this world and time. Sometimes getting into a wildlife area just for a hike. Can help alleviate the stress and pressure of how we're living in this world of today. Awesome video and always relaxing to hear the sound of water returning to it's natural flow and how it was intended to be. Most beautiful area. 🦫🪵🦫🪵🦫👍♥️
Do some research on how beavers are a keystone species By destroying their habitat and not allowing them to make dams, we destroy the deep water reserves the beavers 🦫 make There are other ways to coexist with beavers Maybe building trails in other ways or other places What’s more important? Water reserves or a nice day hiking?
Thanks to Post10 for the content. Wonder where all that water goes? My luck would be that it floods a back yard! Thanks to Ghost10 for cinematography! Hope you don't mind the name we've given you. Kinda stuck with it now!
I've been watching for over a year now, I think this is my favourite video so far. Great job. I would be fascinated to know how many staff it took to make the decision to design, produce and erect the signs.
Probably more than it would have taken to say "Dave and Jim, go unclog the dam/bridge on trail number whatever!"
I wondered if it was a resident that did it, as it was pretty low tech and there wasn’t any safety tape across the bridge. In my town they would have used safety tape and cones and maybe a big safety sign.
Was thinking the same. As those in charge prefer to have machines do the work instead of "risk" a worker getting a back injury or swept away, image if an excavator or back hoe lifted that bridge out of the way and then took out the clog and put the bridge back. How long would it take even an averagely skilled driver to do this. About the same time it took to erect that sign. Would the dam be in better shape if those in charge of it hadn't waited for Mr 10 to do the job for them. Post 10 needs to get paid for what he does. How much is being paid to those supposed to be doing the job.
How dare you suggest work be done without a 90-day public comment period, bid acceptance and review, ballot proposition drafting…
They have to take it to the congress and must win majority of votes before they can put the post up.
That's some very good camera footage there Ghost 10, I for one am happy knowing that Post 10 has someone watching out for him when he's out doing these videos, you know, just in case he should happen to have a mishap and needs to go to the hospital or something you know, thanks for being a friend to all us Ghost, perhaps one day you'll let us see you in full view instead of behind the camera lol, Post, you got yourself a real good keeper there, don't let her slip away dude, I loved seeing your boots in the crystal clear water using your feet as a rake to help drop the water level, that was awesome,
That water is so clear, we can see everything you are doing several feet underwater. No leaches or spiders! :)
post 10's videos are like therapy.
Somebody from MDOT is gonna arrive tomorrow to fix that only to find that it magically fixed itself! They'll be able to enjoy a day sitting inside the truck listening to podcasts thanks to your hard work. haha
Thank God it's not the mass dot's responsibility
@@post.10 That situation says to me "budget cuts" - someone decided that it's cheaper to post signs telling people not to use the trail across the dam, than to attempt any type of maintenance or upkeep. The shape that bridge was in, says it's been some time since they even bothered with the basics.
Exactly! Contact Mass DCR.
Is it even MA? Ir is it NH or ME? He goes all over
Or whoever was supposed to clear this clog will sit and watch post-10 video unclogging yesterday what they were supposed to do today.
Great job Post 10! I think I would have a hard time leaving that spot, the view is magnificent! No wonder the beavers built their home there, so would I!!! 👍🏻
You've been on a roll this past week. Loving it ❣️
Post 10: Beavers hate the sound of running water. After this dam removal; do they make straight jackets for Beavers? Because they're going to be insane from that runoff noise! 😂
You described Government perfectly...... dont fix problems.....when you can just put up a sign to restrict the people who pay for everything
I was thinking more along the lines of “it’s not my job”.
@@Guitarzan8 that too....like guys who paint road stripes right over road kill
its not a problem until it effects their house
So, you got the millions of dollars needed to retrofit that dam into something safe to navigate to the US Forestry service trail standards? Cause, the USFS sure as hell doesn't, and pulling the beaver dam won't make that path safe. That's the problem with dams, everyone loves the benefits it provides but balk at the cost it takes to keep them maintained and safe. I'm sure as heck not going to let people on it if it looks like it will fail at any moment. I'll post a sign, and the people can assess it themselves whether they want to risk dying on it or not.
At least in my city as a dpw worker, we’ve been getting chopped and cutback on for over a decade. Agreed 10 years ago, lazy bastards! Today, way too much work for not enough guys. Usually get less than a 1% raise and falling too far behind private sector in wages to get skilled labor.
first 10 seconds of video "it's cause of the beavers" me IRL: "THOSE GOD DAMN BEAVERS!!!!"
Worker on phone to supervisor: "This trail is flooded. Should we clear the blockage the beavers built?" Supervisor: "Nah, just put up a Closed sign and we'll wait for that guy Post 10 to fix it for us."
This man runs around unclogging stuff all day yet the beavers are super pissed and are still looking for him to this very day
Only just started watching and I know this is going to be awesome.
What a satisfying unclog. Love a powerful downstream flow and this is one of the best!
I agree! This is one of my top 3 favorites!
This is a „let´s do it guy“ in the best way.👍👍👍👍I do not have enough thumbs to put up to him servicing these pipes and keep public roads back in shape. We should buy him some fisherman’s trousers for his service. I think he deserved it 👍😎🇩🇪
I am always amazed at how much the Beavers do, and the size of sticks and debris they move around!
Can't wait to see when you guys go back later this week!
That was the first time I was concerned about your safety but was glad to know your lady friend was with you .
Post10 is nature's plumber. Very satisfying to watch!
Hey, post. I can’t believe how dangerous that was. I would never have expected to see you put yourself in that position. You could have easily slipped or been otherwise pulled under that bridge with little chance of escape. I enjoy your content very much, but this was scary to watch. Please be safe.
What a beautiful looking area.
Another excellent job Postie. Beavers are gonna be pissed again. Love the sound of running water. Bridge is pretty sketchy. Thanks for the fun and the defying of the braves and you guys stay safe now.
That was very nice of you to open the trail again...I can tell you are a good fella... thanks!
I live in the desert, it is crazy to see this much water and how it needs to be dealt with. Awesome channel.
that looked like fun... that was a huge flow... keeping the beavers busy post 10
The people are absolutely delighted with what you have done here in clearing this beaver dam. This is a very interesting video presentation and we were especially impressed at how powerful that water outlet is. One wonders why the authorities do not use it to generate electricity, this would help towards the payment towards the trail upkeep. We know that the hikers will be very appreciative of the work that you have done here.
There is no steady influx of water to the pond. Not a chance it would generate any electricity worth enough to put instalation there.
@@j3sion Thank you for that information, it is appreciated.
There is nothing around there. What would it power? The cost to put a generator there and run a line out would be prohibitive.
Its people like this that deserve to be in managerial/CEO positions because they look for solutions and know what hard work is. Too many guys getting top jobs cos they have degrees but no experience or havent picked up a steel rake and worn gloves like Post 10. Give this guy a pay rise already
25:58 That must be tough work because you seem to collect so much perspiration in your gumboots. 😁 Nice job *post 10!* 👍
It's water from the pond, his boots aren't high enough.
This guy ( post10) has the best life that you can ask for , water and mother nature its his soulmate ... Great and interesting content no matter how long your videos are 👌

Love watching these videos! Look forward to a video a couple days or a week from now to see how it looks Unreal!
Beautiful. I really appreciate the effort and enthusiasm. Your videos make my day brighter! Thanks.
Great job Postie!! Cheers from Northern New Jersey. All of New England loves you dude🤘🤘
Someone in the local government organization has time to put a sign up, but no one in the local public works department has time to fix it. The reality of our times. Well done Post 10!
Love your videos wish there were more people like you willing to do the extra work to make things better
It's probably closed due to the missing concrete sidewalk that leads to the bridge, instead of being closed due to the clog alone.
I was thinking the same. But did the clog start the concrete damage?
@@teenyab Hmm... perhaps!
Official clog blast level measured at 12/10, Post! Impressive! Great job and stay safe!
This is therapeutic man keep it up The sound of the water and your voice is smooth and informative
I suggest reaching out to your local Boy Scout troop, and alerting them to the damaged bridge. Back in my day, we would do service projects to fix things like that all the time. If you reach out to them, and they reach out to the park operator, some change can probably be done government free.
I had my doubts in the beginning of you clearing that beaver dam, but you proved me wrong. It is so nice of you to clear beaver dams and culverts. I very much appreciate and enjoy watching you go to work. I don’t know how to swim so that bridge looks very sketchy and I would not walk on it. 👏🏼🙏🏼🌟🌹😊
Do you live somewhere with not so much water? 🙂 I do know how to swim and I have good balance, but the bridge still looks dubious to me. To my mind, you shouldn't be able to just lift a bridge 😆
14:30 mark, EXACTLY! SUCH laziness. Thank you for making this better for the hiking folks who want to enjoy nature!
I swear post10 is the reason for beaver's anonymous. I picture warscarred beavers in a circle. One is twitching uncontrollably constantly glancing over his shoulder just in case post10 might be behind him ready to dismantle his dam.
I don't understand why I like to watch your videos, but I do, so much.
You can really see how strong the current is. I like that.
In cases like this it would be awesome to have ghost 10 operate a drone right above you.
Always so satisfying to watch you unclog, and then water stars gushing Well done
People are calling your buddy ghost 10, I’m just glad you have someone there to “have your back”. We all worry about your safety.
Looking at the condition of bridge and trail I doubt the water was the only concern. Those signs will stay up until it's all repaired, not just drained.
One of your best ones so far! Looks like a nice place too, clear water
You did a very good job, Post 10
By far one of the best videos you've posted! At one point I thought there maybe a chance of you being swept under the bridge. It was amazing to see through the clear water and watch the clog wash away. I can always see why this is your passion,you are a environmental genius 👏. Thanks for sharing your love for the environment!
brrrrr ... I shiver while watching! you are a tough guy post! 👍
14:46 The irony, is the beavers made that sign to keep Post 10 away.
Beavers must think flowing water is a waste and must be stopped at any source. You will never run out of material to post. Thanks!
These videos are so satisfying to watch. I wish I could join in the fun of unclogging some spillways and seeing that before and after contrast - very cool to see a job well done!
