Turning a dead oak tree into a mountain bike jump with a cheap mill

Strap that hand truck to the log lengthwise and roll it over so wheels are down. You don't have to hold the handle of the truck that way. Just make sure your tires are solid or aired up.

This is awesome, love the rugged creativity that Berm Peak has unleashed in you! To make the most out of that little winch without adding a snatchblock: Set your tree anchors higher to pull up on the log and decrease ground friction, choke the log at the very end for maximum pull, try a plastic sled or scoop shovel under the front end of the log to increase slipperyness.
