By far the most challenging collection of my adventure. Hiked in roughly 500 yards and 500 feet up into the Backcountry.
Passed up many interesting trees till I saw this one on the rock. Took a great deal of effort to saw through two large tap roots, on the other side is good size root pad filled with small roots.
Back home boxes up and on heat mats till spring time. Did my best intentions to minimize space for the roots and remove open spaces.
Key lessons:. Need to carry water and energy to keep up my strength. Battery powered saw would help, hiking sticks could be helpful coming down the mountain. Thick leather gloves and hind cover because RM Cactus are not great to grab or fall on.
