I've got a steep section of hill on my property that I use for snowboarding, sledding, and general gravity powered mayhem. There is a main trail down the center that the 4x4 can get up and down. I'm trying to open up the woods on both sides for a nice glade. A necessary element of woodland maintenance is FIRE! I've had as many as 10 fires going on a weekend. This weekend, the fire kind of got away from me. The brushfire burned about an acre of field before we could get it stomped out. Just a note, a piece of plywood is your best friend in a grass fire. Just walk up on the burning fire line from the downwind (blackened) side of the fire and throw the sheet of plywood on the burning fire line. Lift, Move, and repeat. You'ld be amazed how much fire you can put out quickly like that.
