With the land being more than an hour from my home cleaning the land was a nightmare. Getting there and getting to work took time. Luckilly I have a secret weapon.
FIRE! Fire has been used to clear land for as long as the earth has had humans. The problem is controlling the fire.
To clear my land I burned firebreaks by closely controlling the burn on one side and sectioning off the land so that the fire could only spread in the direction I wanted.
I was helped in my controlled burn by my harbor freight propane torch.
*Update:
It is October 2018 and this torch is still going strong. It sits on my back deck exposed to the elements and while it is rusty, I use it a few times a week to light my grill.
