    I have seen a team of miners move a hugh boulder out of a California river using 5 ton gripehoists.These same size tracels are used in ship drydocks.The miners took almost 3 weeks to move that boulder.The payoff was $300k at less than $600 per oz at the time.You can buy used ones for less than $500 per unit.They drilled and put in eyebolts on the boulder.No slip and safer than chain.

    I love the zip line idea. lot's of work saved. Just a safety suggestion with the chain and come alongs. Throwing a blanket over the chains or cables will act as a shock absorber which will take the stored energy away of the chain or cable should snap. May just save someones life. Great video, thanks!
