Awesome spot. This gave me a good idea for what I need to do to get down to the creek on my property.

Love the simplicity, dread the back breaking! I have terraced property, I will start in an out of view area with a 45 degree 6-8 foot rise. Nice WORK. It's so easy watching someone else work. 😄

Waterfall? looks like someone left the tap running!!!🤣 NIce steps!!!

Ha, yeah it's a trickle in late summer.

Thank you so much for the video! This is exactly what I'm looking for. Something simple and very easy to follow.

I live in South Central Indiana and have a lot of cool things on my wooded and very hilly property been really thinking of incorporateing some steps here and there . Only one problem just one I'm in my 70s . But one thing I definitely have is time . I'm thinking wood or Limestone there's an abundance of limestone quarrys and you can get the stone for next to nothing . But the drawback for me is the weight but it will likely last for years .

This is the life right here. So envious.

V straight into it and bam go do it, thanks bud 😁

Simple but effective. Thank you

I did a similar thing recently. A military folding entrenchment tool (Fiskars makes a great one), is much easier on the back and faster than a pick. Only need a pick for breaking stones.

Amazing job. I’ll do them like this on my land too. Thx

a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…

Thank you for this gonna be a fun little project. Looks like you have the same soil I have. I have Rocky North Carolina clay it’s so hard to bust up.

Is there any wash out on the steps from the rain? I am in a quandary on how to deal with my back yard slope and would like some feedback on how they are holding up.

So far, holding up well. I haven't checked the first step since all the spring rain this year to see if it's still there.

This is super helpful! How long did it take? I have a large hill in my woods and it’s a lovely walk to the lake; not so lovely comjng back. This would probably take me all summer, but looks worth it.

These steps took me about a day. They currently end at a ~10ft cliff leading up to the road. The goal this summer is to build a ladder to finally connect the waterfall to the road.

⁠That gives me some hope…still a lot of work, but worth going for it! I appreciate the idea and the simplicity of your method as far as tools/materials. Thanks again for posting!

what width did you cut the 2x12s ? would 2 ft be sufficient?

@badcanyon

Mine are 2ft and they seems pretty comfortable. It you expect 2-way traffic, I would see going wider.

How long are the rebars?

I really love this video, it's given me inspiration and confidence. I was thinking of using J-Hook rebar, but otherwise the exact same process you showed. Would that be okay or should I stick to the straight rebar?

@@NikkisHoney89 The j-hook rebar looks like a cool approach. I assume you'd have it wrap around the top of the boards. Certainly seems like that'd hold the boards in place.

@@badcanyon Yeah! That's what I was thinking--that it might give the boards an even firmer hold. Thank you for responding. Great video.

Poor roots 😢
