Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Levers? Do you mean bending down and picking up something to be used as lever? Please let me know how you do that without either squatting down (bad knees) or bending down (bad back)? Really looking forward to that replyLevers, trust me on this, levers.
I can't lift the 3 x 2' (70+kgs / 11 stones) paving slabs anymore to relevel them, but three brush shafts to act as rollers and pickaxe and a spade and I can shift them
Tools/mechanics that I couldn't do without working in the wood in my middle age (well, that's what they call it now when you're in your sixties isn't it? ):
1 - the wheel and everything that runs on them
2 - the inclined plane
3 - the pulley
4 - the lever and associated tools such as a big crowbar
4 - my hi-lift jack
5 - my petrol capstan winch
6 - the electric chainsaw that stops me damaging the tendon in my elbow every time I start the petrol one
However, I agree with Sundowner, these days I have to think about how I load the gear into the ATV and carry it to the work site

Long stick ....I use brush shafts and they don't need me to bend down to pick them up. They stack agin the wall in the wee shed beside the garden hoes.
Right now I'm fine, but I thole R.A. and I have both damaged tendons in ankles and knees and damaged discs in my lower back. I'm old enough now to be chary of doing any more damage.
Levers are very good things
A healthy wife/husband is very good too.
Due to my lower back, I have not been able to bend much for years. And due to bad knees, I can not bend or twist them much.
Guess who cuts my toe nails?

Stew and Robbi are close but the winner will need to put something to the wheel and be more specific.
Clue repeated with the cruciverbalists in mind:
Ought to hesitate now cat's out. (8,3)
After Tengu's dig, Nice65 very generously PMed me offering to contribute to the prize but I didn't accept his kind offer. I hope he doesn't think I'm giving him the cold one. (Yes, this is a hint)

Tough luck Mate! As you say, missed by a second. Better luck when I reach 3000.damn, a second too late
The fun of getting there is sufficient for me - please pass it to Broch! I have too much kit as it is and am trying to reduce the amount. I shouldn't have played but it was too tempting / frustrating!
