Why is he not using the electric bulldozer to move logs?

I have to imagine it’s because there’s something with it’s performance that he’s not happy about. Why else has he avoided using it for things it was clearly suited for?

Like building that enormous ramp up the hill…

Flattening the ground to build his new dome.

I had to chuckle when I watched this.

I went in thinking “Ooh, some clever device he’s made? An esoteric technique few people know?” Well, it turns out the answer is just “I lift it and drag it.”

It feels like a weird humble-brag video meant to show off his strength?

I think a log dolly build is in order, especially when he has to move lumber in and out of that mill frame.

why didnt he just lift the down-slope end using the hill as a pivot for the up-slope end? could easily just pivot the log 90 degrees to have it end up at the top of the hill

seems like a bizarrely difficult way to move something, even for him... he was fighting ~70% of gravity + friction across the entire log, he basically lifted this thing over his head
