- Moving big boulders with no modern equipment. This is ideal for when your boulder is in a location that's hard to reach with any kind of modern equipment like a tractor. For example I've transported several boulders along Fairy Tail Trail ( • Fairy Tale Trail Progr... ) using this method.
Remember to switch sides/hands to keep your body in balance! Very important if you're doing this kind of repetitive high-resistance motion.
Here's a video going over construction of the sled and how you can attach it to a car to easily drag boulders over longer distances if you're feeling lazy: • How To Drag Large Boul...

You might've just solved an ancient mystery that doesn't involve aliens. This is great!
He learned this FROM the aliens 👽. Duh. 🙄
A+ on being a Dad, well rounded with a big loving dose of patients. Great job! You can see it in those very happy boys, and good helpers.
Great idea,and works well.
Nice work. Amazing what some ingenuity and elbow grease and get done. My father would have insisted on steel toed boots but, hey, they're you're feet!
Your father didn't teach you the iron foot technique?! ;) Thanks for watching and the compliment.
These kids are comedy gold.
A+ on being a Dad, well rounded with a big loving dose of patients. Good kids too !
An addition could be to embed some axels on the device under the stone and above the track. It would have to be a thicker platform, but then bigger stones over longer distances could be completed solo.
Good idea. Maybe just some rollers too, though it would be a bit more tedious swapping them out as it rolls along.
Great Work. I'm going to do the same. From Brazil.
Nothing like using a massive metal prybar with bare feet...hooligans the lotaya!
:-P
Very smart and seemingly effecient system! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching. :)
you can also maneuver pvc pipe under the rock a few of them and combine with your boy scout ratchet pole method
Like rollers you mean?
@@AytwitEngineering yea like pvc pipe or steel pipes jimmy under the boulderand either separate not attached to each other and move piecemeal or attach the pipes together
Your such a cool guy 😊
Ha thanks but I'm incredibly boring in person. I'm only RUclips cool at most.
@@AytwitEngineering well RUclips banned me for trying to look at Virginia creeper under a microscope trying to tell me that I was showing people how to make controlled substances and drugs.
Real life people are more interesting than RUclips. Don't sell yourself short.
Love the idea! Gonna give it a try myself with some pvc rollers between rock sled and track. Appreciate you posting this!
Thank you for watching. :) Let me know how it goes!
A+ on your Dad skills. Well rounded, with a big dose of patients and love. And good rock move!
Thank you so much. As for my patience...gotta fake it til you make it. ;)
Get past the adorable kids and you end up seeing an engineering rickstar. Killer job man.
Thanks the compliment. :)
Hello Doug, you are real hard worker!!! Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas and experience. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦!
Thank you for watching!
Im looking to increase my load capacity again. This looks hard but that is a pretty big rock. I might try a 6 roller sled.
Your rollers inspired an idea. You see the 2x4s with holes drilled in them I used in this video. You could apply the same concept to the 2x12s (whatever they are) that you use as your dolley track. Drill a bunch of holes down the middle of them and you could move some absolutely massive boulders. Challenges would be (a) a one-way braking system, so dolley couldn't roll backwards if going slightly uphill (a gravity latch attached to the dolley that falls into the pry holes might work), (b) the carrying capacity of the dolley itself and its wheels, and (c) getting the rock up there in the first place, including balancing the boulder on it, which might mean making a bigger dolley.
Maybe put on some boots to help with Traction! Kids are cute and funny. Thanks for the great idea !
Hey sometimes feet get better traction! Sometimes not though. :) Thanks for watching.
Excellent, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Very entertaining and well done on innovation and execution. But your 'no modern equipment' tag should more appropriately say 'no heavy machinery'.
What did I use in this video that is modern equipment? I may have missed something. Thanks for watching!
@@AytwitEngineering Rope, lumber, drills, steel. all today's quality products. I don't intend to diminish your accomplishment but i thought I might be seeing a Roman gropa or Da Vinci catapult at work.
@@roseymalino9855 @roseymalino9855 Ropes, milled lumber, drills, and steel have been used for thousands of years. Unless you mean I should have raided a museum for thousand-year-old equipment...not sure how well it would hold up though. ;) I'll grant you the PVC runners on the sled, which I just noticed. I should have used lead pipes! :)
So that’s how the pyramids were built - where did they buy the radiator hose clamps
Oh they had much better technology than sleds and hose clamps :)
why slide when you can roll em?
Good father!
You could improve the efficiency an$ increase the weight that could b3 moved by adding a pulley at the front of your sled. Run the rope from the bar, through the pulley and back to an anchor that would anchor into your track. It would move the rock more slowly but with less effort.
True good idea!
True good idea!
Where do you get a pry bar like that?
Should be in most hardware stores, whether the store is big or small.
Good idea but get some boots and a chain. Kids are funny.
Chain yes I should have used...boots never! :) Thanks for watching!
👏👏👏👏
Seems to be riddled with safety issues but nice concept..
Thanks for watching!
How heavy would you say that rock was? I want to move 4000 lbs eco blocks and need to find a way to do it. I'm guessing that since you could flip it that it's about 300 -350 lbs?
Good question! Let's say this rock is about 180 pounds per cubic foot. It's about 3 feet by 2 feet by 1 foot, so 6 cubic feet. 6 times 180.equals 1080 pounds. I'll say maybe 700-800 pounds really cause it's more like a wedge shape and I'm rounding up the dimensions. At least 500 pounds though for sure. I've used this sled to move rocks roughly twice as big but on flat or slightly downhill terrain. Did you mean 4 HUNDRED pounds or indeed 4 THOUSAND pounds? If you're talking thousands of pounds then you'll need something more robust but you can still use the basic system, or pull it by car.
See www.reade.com/reade-resources/reference-educational/reade-reference-chart-particle-property-briefings/26-weight-per-cubic-foot-and-specific-gravity-metals-minerals-organics-inorganics-ceraqmics for weight per cubic foot for various types of rock.
Same sled pulled by car, boulder at least twice as heavy as the one in this video, probably three times: ruclips.net/video/-0H1dcDKHXU/видео.html&pbjreload=101
Thanks.
I would keep childeren well away from possible failure of the system. Otherwise quite fascinating.
It’s safe. The ground is quite flat, he rock will not rolling down to hurt people.
The amount of safety lessons these boys missed out on is incredible, unless you were trying to show these boys how the Egyptian build the pyramids (barefoot and all). PPE
I ain't got no fancy modern book learnin' as far as safety and PPE like you guvnah, but as far as the pyramids, go back to primary sources like Flavius Josephus. The original pyramids were not built by Egyptians as we know them, but by the Sethites. And these people were not barefoot savages like myself, but a highly advanced technolithic culture. We are cavemen in comparison. Later pyramids built by the Egyptians you allude to, were like a cargo cult that tried to copy the original pyramids and failed miserably. Those pyramids (over a hundred of them) are all over Egypt in rubble heaps right now. Maybe because they were barefoot. Maybe the Sethites had steel-toed boots and goggles and masks and ear plugs and PPE courses and that was their secret!
Kids shouldn't be around... Robes snap... Crow bars slip... You can get really hurt... You have to really keep your eyes open and be concentrated... Barefooted??? I don't think that's a good idea as well... Otherwise for the rest 10 out of 10
Oh you definitely don't want to see what we get into off-camera then lol.
@@AytwitEngineering be serious I don't think it's a joke...
@@whereisit467 I am serious. If you think this is dangerous, you would not want to see what we do off-camera. Everyone has different risk tolerances. I respect your risk tolerances but mine are different. For example I see you using a chainsaw on your channel. To me this is extremely dangerous. I would never use one. I generally only use hand tools because I know many people who have horrifically injured themselves with chainsaws and other power tools. But everyone can do what they want! :) Freedom baby! Thanks for watching!
@@AytwitEngineering idiot
Bare feet🤣
Bare feet. I cringed.
Hey my feet aren't that ugly...
