Is there a "special" tool for moving dead brush 100 feet away?

[Danny D]

Hmmm... maybe.

Or a vineyard.

[Dan Espen]

The wheels comment was regarding the tool shed which I'm pretty sure will slide down your hill.

If you really intend to conquer this hill, so that you can navigate up and down and clear brush, I think you're up to the point where you need to build a stairway.

[chaniarts]

it it up in a bundle with your 100' rope, walk uphill, and pull.

[Danny D]

I'll try that next.

I had discounted that, in favor of the tarp, but the tarp caught on so much brush that it wouldn't budge.

Likewise with the bucket. It kept flipping over and spilling its contents.

Thanks

Right. What use did they have for the wheel?

[Danny D]

This is OT, but it always amazed me that the American natives didn't invent the (transportation) wheel. Seems so logical.

If they had better communication, e.g., the USENET, they'd have the wheel, and a whole lot more.

The only thing they wouldn't have are all the diseases that the white man traded with them.

The USENET is so much more hygienic than actual contact!

Just because something is logical, doesn't mean that there is sufficient intellegence available to take advantage of it. As an example of that see your recent thread on moving stickes.

How about a funicular railway with a "maint car w/ open platform"? It could haul tools AND debris.

DADD- Ever wonder why downhill skiing is so much easier than uphill?

It's better with a tarp. Just pulling the stuff with a rope may cause the brush to dig into the ground and drop pieces, beside being harder to pull. The tarp will prevent that.

Regardless of what your American-hating public school teachers told you, that was a two-way street.

Now you sound like a millennial.

[krw]

Intelligence has nothing to do with it. There was little need.

[chaniarts]

weren't they nomads to some degree? wouldn't it have been a help to moving household goods?

[Danny D]

Or, I wave $100/day to anyone that stands in the front parking lot at the Home Depot ...

[Danny D]

Indeed. Syphilis went from the Caribbean to the Old World, while Gonorrhea followed suit in the reverse direction.

The Mexican natives should have learned, from the lessons of the battle of Crecy, that you need to shoot the horses first (the big llamas), and then stay away from the sharp swords and simply use arrows to pierce the armor, or, at least use their superior numbers to deprive the Spanish of their supplies. Had they done *that*, they might have still retained control of America. If they had had the USENET, they could have asked me and I would have told them that.

I've started stockpiling the stakes and railroad ties ...

[Danny D]

This particular section is hemmed in on all sides by forest and terrain, none of which is near a roadway.

The only roadway is the top of the hill, which is

50 feet above the debris.

So there are only two choices: a) Leave the debris where it lies (fire hazard notwithstanding) b) Tote the debris uphill (as hard as that is)

[Attila Iskander]

Problem is they didn't know anything about Crecy when the Conquistadors landed.

[HeyBub]

They also did not invent a meaningful religion, a written language, navigation or trans-ocean travel, significant medical practice, and on and on.

Only part of the descriptor "noble savage" is correct.
