Good idea turning an old tire into a pipe pig. At first I was wondering how they got a cable through there but I noticed they had used oil well sucker rods and just pushed the solid rod through

That did work very well, but have to be careful what kind of culvert you try that with.

Yes, absolutely, many old culverts are little more than rusted out hulls of the once galvanized corrugated tubes, some would have collapsed years ago if there had ever been any heavy traffic over them.

"This is how Randall cleans out a culvert".
Begging the question, how was it done before, and when?

Or had it ever actually BEEN cleaned out before?

Let's say no. Had I filmed this, as tire exits culvert, been overdubbed with a loud champagne cork.
But that's why I haven't bothered filming.
