Looks like you need to get to it in that scrub brush. Where are the real trees?

I need to redeck the dock before pushing it into its forever spot.
Looks like you need a much longer dock.

I brushed everything in that photo out already. You're looking straight on down a peninsula from west to east that slowly gains elevation as you travel eastward. The trees you're looking at are red pines, white pines, black spruce, several natural jack pines, white oat and red oak. Elsewhere I have birch and polar. I have a zillion white a and red pine saplings coming in from Bedoura, the DNR nursery for Minnesota.
A quarter mile north of that photo is where I have been brushing the last couple of weeks.

Could you float the dock to its destination?

Why? It is at it's destination. I didn't drop it into the water because I need to redeck it.

I was thinking floating it to its destination instead of of driving it through the woods.
You have a nice place there!

The neighbor I purchased the clapped-out dock from is on the same lake, but that dock is definitely a sinker, not a floater and with the ice just out, the water is still very cold. For whatever reason floating docks are not popular in my area.

Wonder if when the ice forms if it might crush the floats. Or do you pull them ashore in winter?

He thinks reaching out and holding a 2x will do?
Of course it will, but why is he in reverse?

air pressure holds the 2x4s down and he doesn't need to use with arm as much

Not reverse lights, amber lights, that model of truck has brake lights (top), reverse (middle), and turn/4-way flasher (bottom), which they likely had on during this highly dangerous lumber hauling excursion.

If he was indeed going in reverse then I'd agree with you but no. He did have his flashers on.
I also figured they were 2X6X12's
Hang around a Home Depot or Lowes and you'll see plenty of good stuff.

He's got a rope on it. But must have skipped geometry class the day they talked about leverage and fulcrum.

Just around the boards. Must want them all to fly off at the same time...

I used to do that! But I had a early 80's Jeep Scrambler, which was a single cab (ie 2 seats), and a very short pick up box. Roll bar was outside of cab. Put 2x4's against the roll bar and tucked lower end in the tailgate. Put a half dozen sheets of 4x8 drywall on the 2x4's and strapped them to the roll bar with extra strap around the top edge of the drywall. Couple of miles home at 35mph, no problem. Re-drywalled the kitchen and living room, and drywalled the new walled in porch area. Unfortunately, no pictures.
