My son and I hauled a lot of big maple turning blocks up a steep and very
rough incline using the following method.
He cobbled together what oldtimers know as a stone bolt, a rather crude and
heavy sled.
Then using a snatch block at the top of the grade, passed the towline from
the sled through the block and tied it off to the front bumper of my truck,
then with him guiding the sled, and me backing my truck we successfully
hauled load after load up that grade.
Worked well for us, might be worth a thought if you have a lot to move.

Hi. We'll be cutting down trees, removing overgrown brush, etc. from
about 4000 sq. ft. of our downsloping lot. I've rented a large green
waste container, but can anyone suggest an efficient, cost-effective
way to get the stuff we cut uphill to the container at street level.
It's not possible to get any type of vehicle behind our house.

Right now, we're just thinking of putting as much as we can in either
boxes or heavy duty plastic bags, and having two people carry one of
these up, then repeat (and repeat...) I'll have two other guys
helping me. Thanks for any help.
