Example 1: Submitted by J. Cameron Cooper

<para id='intro'>
  Working on trees or bushes can generate a lot of limbs and branches to
haul away. If you just carry them, it'll take all day. Instead, make a
sledge. 
</para>
<para id="intro2">
  Find a large, complex branch to make the base of your sledge. It should
be relatively flat, and broad and long enough to make a decent pile;
that is, as big or bigger than anything else you need to haul away.
Green branches from hardwoods are best. Place it with the cut end
pointing the way you want to go. If no single branch is good enough, two
can be used. Just place their cut ends a couple feet apart.
</para>
<para id="intro3">
  Then pile on the remaining branches. Most will naturally weave together;
if not, give 'em a little help. Once the pile it a few layers deep,
smaller waste, like weeds or maybe even leaves can be added to the pile.
If it gets unstable, another big branch will help.
</para>
<para id="intro4">
  When you're done, grab the cut end of the bottom branch, and maybe the
base of one of the other big branches in the pile, and drag the thing
where you want to go. You'll be surprised how much one person can drag!
</para>
<para id="intro5">
  If you have a lot of leaves or similar small stuff to move, you can use
a similar technique. Get a tarp, toss the leaves and weeds and whatnot
in the middle, and then drag the whole thing away.
</para>
