If you really want to get rid of that beaver dam you need to increase the pounds of tannerite you are using. I would try 100 pounds and see if that does the trick.

Man, you have any idea how much 20 lbs of tannerite is? I have blown up 4-5 lb mixes multiple times. I cant imagine 20lbs. I blew a bolder the size of a vw off the wall of a rock face in the Texas Hill Country with 4 lbs. I would mix whatever you do together in a big pickle jar/plastic jug type container, but no way you get 20 lbs in anything like that. I would try 10 pounds mixed together first and see how that goes. I'm telling you, 20 would be massive.



What this guy said.

Your arse needs to tinker with it first before you frick with even remotely close to 20lbs.

If you mix up a 20 oz bottle of tannerite it will shock you.

Logging in to toss a couple upvotes and encourage you to just go for it. Can’t wait to see the video.

Make sure you do it right before dark, and put a couple 5 gallon jugs of gasoline full on top of it. Video in slow motion to watch the mushroom cloud.

Disclaimer - I've only ever done this with 1 pound of tannerite and a 16 ounce bottle of gasoline. I'm assuming more gas will be a cooler fireball. You might die. IDK

Get oxygen and acetylene mix perfect. Cut flame. Fill 2.5 gallon water jug. Seal.

Put 1lb tannerite on outside.

Detonate.

Edit:

Detonate from a very long ways.

No glass within 500 yards will survive.

This guy knew how to use Tannerite and a Camera so I would replicate what he did for safety purposes.

Loved going out with my dad when he blew dams up with dynamite. This was in the 70. They had plungers to set it off.

There are a bunch of beaver dams being blown up videos on YouTube. A few here:

We basically make pipe bombs and shoot them from a couple hundred yards.

Take about a 3 ft piece of 2 inch PVC. Fill it and cap it. No idea how much it actually is. Send a Mexican out on the beaver dam and he stuffs it down in the dam to where only a couple inches is showing. Back off and fire away.

It used to be so much fun blowing beaver dams with my dad and uncle back when dynamite was still easy to get.

How far back can the OP back off from the dam?

100yds isn’t enough.

From his size description, I would say 10 lbs. will leave a crater, and no sign that a beaverdam was ever there.

Are you kidding ? Are you seriously thinking about taking on beavers?

They are going to kick your arse. Beavers are basically undefeated against people
