That rock cradle works real good ! Did you have that made up in town? And yup you drive like a logger , hammer down and dodging wind blow makes the potholes much smoother. Ernie NATURAL BORN MINER

When i was much younger i would have been there in the front seat whooping and laughing Now i would kinda leave finger dents in the dash and be whimpering........you did speed up the camera didn't you? I used to buy old but often never used tire chains cheap at the local thrift store to use for pulling boulders. Your gonna do some more rock moving i hope? Yer killin me here bud but i love it! Wayne

I like the old tire chain idea......just the right shape as well........I was thinking on cutting A old mudder tier in half an jimmying A chain to hook up to.....the rubber should really grip the rock an stop the slipping.....one of my pet peeves - re-hooking up the rock over an over........A tire chain with some rubber would be good to.....Hhmm Man the winter is coming an I don't know what to do next........but I'm thinking on starting A drift into the side of the hill after that old channel.......have the log's bucked up for shoring up the roof an the cut is already done into the hill..........sure is hard doing all this stuff by ones self but I'm not the type to wait around...

To bad i live almost a thousand K away or i would offer to come help you move those pesky pebbles. Your drivin isn't that scary, that's just the way Toyotas like to be driven, as long as she stays shiny side up it's all good. (one memorable wheelin day went "hey Mike, hold my beer we may roll here. Whack thump. Yup......Uh-huh..... Hey! you didn't spill my beer did you?.....me Hell NO!, but i can't seem to swallow while we are upside down." I like the little track machine Gary it would definately move a nice sized rock but when it gets down to serious rock movin i like this kitty from work for that. If you look close you can see my dog Marley tryin to drive away in my truck while i took the pic. hehe I like the rock choker too, i have moved a lot of rocks at work with just straps and chains but havent used anything quite like that before, looks like it would grip good and help with those annoying little slips when you are trying to rig it yourself. I'm not sure what the future will bring but i know i sure think alot more and alot harder about getting myself out of this rat race and into somewhere i can live a more peacefull and hopefully fulfilling life. ;D Keep it up with the cool vid's i really enjoy them.

I used to have a floating winch in California. Could pick up a 5,000 pound boulder. Kinda like a floating overhead shop hoist. The up/down controls were under water for the divers. We found that the slipping sling/choker problem was reduced a lot by using nylon slings. The wide surface area of the strap and softness, gave a much better grip on those slippery boulders than the normal steel variety. They are light and nicer to work with. We never wore one out. Cheers!
