Just wondering when do you guys build? What's your time frame? In the UK it's generally a winter thing when the weather is shit but the dirt is good and wet to dig and mould. But as per this episode, your snowed under. So I'm thinking you have a short spring period to get it finished before summer.
How long did this take to build? Also how long is the trail? And also drop in altitude? I'm a geek for facts and trails.
Cheers...
Also because it's very labour intensive i can only achieve a feature in a week of spare time. So I don't need to transport them everytime, they're right there where I left them. Mattock, shovel, digging spade, rake and a wheel barrow. All can take an absolute pounding, will last for years, do a better job and all the bits I mentioned cost less than the trail tool.
It is indeed a good idea but 300 bucks for 1% of my time?
