Very impressive using tools of another generation to get the job done in very difficult mountain terrain, no one out of shape and over weight in this village. That hey sliding down that cable piece of engineering speaks of determination of smart people to complete the harvest.
dought they had a cable loader 50 years ago or before but when I was ten my uncles helper (Knecht) would lay down a hefty rope , double up on it and tie a five hundred pound load (in hot wheather a large cotton cloth was added). Then we (me and another kid (summer chind) would help the "big ochs" to pull it to the so called "schneise" where the terrain was steep.Then the helper would glide down to the "gade" where the hay got stored for the goats or the cows...
I can tell you that the flies in the summer were bent on getting our hides and if his back is anything like mine now (I'm sixty) he popps a ton of advil to kill the pain.Long story short...it was't all fun and games but watching these clips it sure brings tears to my eyes...
Naw, hay wire is used to bale hay. It comes in a loose coil and is very easy to get tangled up. That's why when something "goes hay wire" it means that it's all messed up.
Can anyone tell me what approx year the zip line was incorporated into the process? In researching haying in the mid 19th century I find these tools would have been used...but how would the farmers transport the hay back then? TY! (PS Great video)
Trust me, there is no danger in nature becoming "overgrown" We're bloody killing ourselves in our concrete nightmare. This sort of anti-life anti-nature dribble isn't surprising coming from a bald engineer.
my 3 year old needs to see this least once a week! kewl!

Wish you had the episode in which they hung and stretched that zip line..awesome stuff thanks for sharing
This zip line system is impressive and I must say, kinda funny...!

82 years old and learn something every day!

Maybe you could ask Michael Dipner Gerber, featured in the video
Impressive!
Nice video!!!!!
i love it !!!
@cafekawaii nice to hear that
I would love to do this at least once.
love dis life
love ths
getting used to the moves is the problem. IT'S HARD WORK!!!
now we just need a zip line from the yard to to building easy transport
Are you for real ? Did you just discovered outside off city !
I wonder why they didn't use horses, donkeys or oxen to haul the hay? We use a truck.

Proper management like this only strengthens nature. The grass will come back stronger.
Cool. Maybe next you can keep alive traditional anthrax, smallpox, hunger, famine, and short lifespans.
Great way to loose weight.
