Default Hauling Uphill

Hi Greg
If you don't own one, rent or borrow a pickup with a winch on it. Pull out
the steel cable and loop it around a section of the underbrush you want to
clear. Take the hook end and hook it back on the steel cable so that it
will close the loop when you start the winch. As the loop closes on the
underbrush, ii will began to bunch the undergrowth together, cut anything
that the winch won't pull up. When the loop closes, it will hold the
encircled underbrush enough to pull it up your hill. I have used this
method to clear right of way along side highways. Hope this helps.

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.
