In addition to near-term treehouse ambitions, I also have summer plans to create bike trails through the woods so Big & Little Red can experience trail riding. We have just under 6 acres running in a narrow corridor in front of and behind (mostly behind) the house, and a fun downhill/uphill slope with the creek in the middle.
What's challenging is the number of small saplings that will need to be cleared so our trails can be relatively straight and navigable on bike. That's where the weed wrench comes in. I haven't actually seen one of these in person, but the idea is pretty straightforward: Grip sapling trunk in the jaws of the wrench, and pull. The inventor is this guy named Zeke Archimedes, who famously said "Dude, watch what I can move with this awesome lever."
Seriously, there's more on the Weed Wrench here. Probably put this in the "cool, but not right now" category.
