In my experience very few animals live in the deadwood on the forest floor. To easy for something up the food chain to "harvest"

It's pretty hard not to have an impact when we are so dominant on the planet. We do try to leave snags, and encourage the operators to stay away from large debris on the forest floor which you describe. Any "old growth" here is <300 years and generally much younger than that. Not much lives in a stagnant old stand though, and rather than sequestering carbon they are releasing it back into the atmosphere as the trees deteriorate.

It would be nice if this thread got back to the original topic though, after over 10,000 posts I would hate to see it get shut down.

Here I'll help with that, saw this going down the road the other day. At least they tried to strap. 20190430_103957.jpeg20190503_233522.jpeg

I have a number of sod farms by me, however they usually do more then a single strap over a pair of pallets.

Rig up a couple of clamps so you can add a couple of flags or driveway reflectors. Or those magnetic trailer alignment balls.

I use the Harbor Freight magnetic trailer alignment balls and they are perfect for backing up a small trailer. They're are a little flimsy and easily broken but for $8 with a 20% off coupon solve a lot of problems.

I put a broomstick, sticking up, in the back corner of the tiny camp trailer I posted above. That let me verify the trailer was still there, on the highway. But even with that guide the trailer was a b**ch to back up. It's so short that it gets sideways in an instant.


Edit, added - About like backing up a small cement mixer.

I drove Vans with only front windows in a city environment. Wonder how I ever managed. And never mastered mirrors either. The bosses wanted to save money, but probably lost it in production, as I circled the block until I could find a place to drive straight into. One boss even saved twenty five bucks by not getting a spare tire.

Part of it here is security... less windows to break!
