I like to push boulders down steep hills and video it. Today I found an excellent candidate for pushing but this thing is heavy. How could I go about doing this? I tried pushing it with a large branch underneath but it didn't even budge.
I'm thinking maybe a jack but getting to the boulder is kinda difficult and carrying a jack might be tough, although if it came in pieces i could carry the parts one at a time.
Any ideas?
The first pic was below, this is above the rock.
And this is a side shot.
Also getting here is kinda hard. Not only is the climb kinda steep but it's through thick foliage and moss covered wet rocks/bedrock. Also you can see it's snowing so that also makes it slippery.

Bring a few sections of 2×4 and a shovel to pry with. Figure it out from there.
trundling is for faggots
exception: if it is a legitmatly precarious boulder that threatens people'ssafety
>>477483
I really try to disturb as little as possible when /out/ so I don't think you'd see me on the side of a hill trying to push a boulder

how do u not have a crowbar if this is ur hobby

Quit fucking things up, you weirdo.

what he said, a 7 pound bottle jack will push 8 thousand pounds for 20 bucks.
It's small, dense, easy to carry like a football or against your chest.

I have to walk about this far. it's around 5 miles. My day pack usually comes in at 15 pounds, the extra 7 pounds might tear my pack.

This rock was heavy.
>>477503
thats fucking hilarious
It's a total cunt thing to do IMO but it's something I can imagine doing.
>>477483
while i general i don't endorse what you are doing but i can see the excitement of it. and hope you are doing it in a sensible matter.
also rock fall is kinda natural and as long it not a million year old formation in a never changing desert.

best is a small car jack.

You leave those poor rocks alone op! One of these days, a big rock is going to fall on your head. Either that or you're going to fall down a cliff and break your head on a rock. Whatever it is, justice gone be served.

Sounds like you need a better pack.
Trish: A sad, strange story in local news tonight, Jim.
Earlier this morning, hikers found the crushed, nude body of a young area Anon at the bottom of a gorge amid the shattered remains of a truck-sized boulder. The search and rescue crew that recovered the body is utterly baffled over the circumstances that led to this.
Forensics experts attempting to reconstruct the accident had to cross dangerously steep and slippery terrain to reach where it appears the Anon and boulder fell from, and they discovered a "bizarre assortment of levers, cameras, and petroleum jelly".
Clip of rescue crew member: "It would appear the Anon was filming himself dislodging the boulder, and things went awry. It may have been some sort of sexual ritual that got out of hand. We're still looking into it."
Trish: Well, whatever the cause for this outrageous display of faggotry, it has most certainly "rocked" the community.
Jim: Too true, Trish. Too true.
What the fuck, OP?
Why?

Tbh OP's activities don't bother me so long as it doesn't risk hitting walkers or property or obstructing paths.

I want to see more like this.
>>477483
Easy. Use a spud bar and a rock and lever it. Place smaller stones under it every so often as you lever it up until it finally goes. If you don't have a spudbar, use a 4 inch thick log about 6 feet long.
You can use a bottle jack too. I move a lot of stone and normally use leverage instead of bottle jacks. I only use the jacks when there's no way to fit a lever under the stone.
The largest I've moved was 6 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 4 feet high.
Though, I was moving them to a building sight, not just doing it for the lulz.
>>477503
I was secretly hoping you would fall in the river

One time at Devil's Gulch, I tried to build tiny dams out of twigs and leaves to see if it would affect Sylvan Lake.
>>477582
it's just an Osprey very small hiking pack, it's actually supposed to be a mountain bike pack.
But it had occurred to me that I have a car jack in the car I use to get to the trail head. I'm going to try that.
>>478068
I do this too op. Fun to imagine the jelly autist sperg out at your fun. I so pick up sticks and practice throwing them like javelins
>>478013
>destroying local ecology
How?
>>478037
It wasn't Sylvan lake. It was another much smaller one.
>>477526
There's no laws against moving rocks, you faggot.
>>478193
Actually, there is. Quite a few. From not being allowed to move them off of hillsides to not being allowed to move them out of streams, rivers, and beaches. Doing so, causes erosion and deposits silt down stream/river. You can get a pretty steep fine if you get caught and possible jail time. In other places, like in parks it is a whole other can of worms.
Here's some googled examples of Erosion and Sediment Control laws, which govern everything from building sites to general activity like what the OP is doing:

There's a difference between being free to pursue your own happiness, and the partial destruction of an ecosystem. That impacts other people and nature, thus a mutual law forgoing that certain freedom was created in order to prevent future destruction. Gotta know you Hobbes amigo.
>>478193
It's also not illegal where I was doing it. It's just at the 1000 foot level of very steep mountains.
>>477582
was gonna say. My ripstop nylon pack can carry that much weight. Its all in the stitching.
>>478068
Osprey has shitty cheap Vietnam slave labor stitching to save on production costs. I dont know why anyone would buy an osprey pack. No reason for modern textiles to break at 30lbs in the pack besides poor quality fibers or stitching.
>>478289
Let me guess. You love the Mora and make tents out of used garbage bags. Go shit up some /b/ thread.

I'm pretty sure you're fat. If you go outside and push boulders it helps with that. That and not stuffing your face with hot pockets and mountain dew.
>>479697
>it isn't illegal
because you said so?
>>477527
damn anon. Look at yourself in a mirror. It was all fun and game when you first started out on little rocks, maybe one ever other week. But now.....now you understand what they mean by gateway drugs. Boulders bigger than cars you wish to move!! It is no longer about the fun and games, you have a feeling....an experience to chase, looking for that one hit like the first time and you will stop at nothing to find it, moving stone no matter the consequences. CHASING THE DRAGON BABY!!!
>>479718
because no one in authority has said it isn't
Fugg.
This reminds me when some locals invite me to climb a hill. The hill is full of loose rocks. The one in the back of our party trundle every big rocks they find.
Okay, is this seriously a THING like mountain biking, hiking etc etc. Or is OP just an autistic with destructive tendencies?
I can sort of see how that could be fun, but nah. It might leave a big mark or kill some poor squirl or something - and it would have to be _really_ fun for it to be worth it.
>>479727
I really hope it's not a thing. I've seen a thread almost exactly like this before but I'm hoping that too was OP.
>>479725
except for the written law that says otherwise.
>>479711

those laws don't apply in the real world

Holy fuck. When boulder rolling goes bad.
Last year a part of a mountain was expected to loosen and fall down in Norway, and for some reason it was front page news for a week, and the media was live streaming it, waiting for it to fall off. Eventually nothing happened.
>http://www.tv2.no/nyheter/mannen-direkte
>http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29831584
>>479758
if you knowingly wait to film a large boulder rolling down towards you then you must accept the risk of being hit!
>>477503
that was perfect
>>479765
>Eventually nothing happened.
Once again Norway leaves us wondering why it's a country
>>478208
please cite one court case where a hiker (not a builder/contractor) was charged and convicted for doing what OP was doing (where no one was endangered or harmed).
I'll wait
It's illegal to push rocks?
While it's legal for the gubmint to detonate nukes underground and underwater?
>>480364
>my government is nuclear capable
lol get out of here faggot /out/ is for peace loving folks

Triples of truth.

>>478208
Most E&S restrictions have a minimum threshold of liability based on area of disturbance sometimes as low as 5k sqft but usually 1 acre. Boulder pushing isn't regulated normally by CWA, 404, and similar state and federal laws.
That MA ch91 is pretty clear though, boulder pushing is not allowed. There are probably similar rules everywhere just not specifically in the regs you mentioned and a couple of those pertain specifically to removal from stream beds and banks which I wouldn't call "boulder pushing".
Just sayin' it's probably not legal, but not because of the laws you cited.(other than MA)
>>480257
Norway is really not that different from /out/.

OP's an imbecile and a faggot.
