Brainiac Needed

I think this last method would fit in great with the redneck olympics, especially after a few of those barley pops.  :D  :D

I never thought about useing that method on a hill  :D ;D  I can see all them tree hight checkers a rolling down the hills  faster'n a hoopsnake . We don't have hills in my neck of the woods like the axmen play on.

I was just reporting a method of measure , I did not endorse one over the other.      Compensation for loss resulting from the use of either method will be for no more than actual cost of the advice you recived.  Paid by elastnomaric check drawn on the First Foresty Forum National Bank

The "stick" is the Biltmore stick (I think).

It basically works according to reply #15 by left coast chris.


Wouldn't a low tech water wheel, geared up to run a gear-mesh
type pump be a more efficient way to get the water up that hill?
Or a slow water wheel hooked to a mudhog diaphragm pump?

  No Phil
When it rains hard (Regularly) the waterwheel would have problems from flooding. The other requires fuel. The Ram requires nothing but water weight, to pump water. There is so much debris in this area, it would be better to just run a metal Pipe from an access to the water, to a dedicated area away from the flood area, and install the pump there.

  I've got a real good handle on the situation. I combined several ideas from this thread, and found I have adequate water and weight to get done what I need.
