Where I grew up everyone used to dynamite stumps to clear a field. Lots
cheaper than renting a bulldozer. Gubmint stopped that as you now can only
get a limited amount of dynamite and you gotta sign for it in a big way. I
took the trees off my property to build our first house with primacord, one
advantage of being in the National Guard and a lot easier than chain sawing
them down. Sigh, I don't think you could do that in today's political
environment, to many opportunities for misuse of explosives.
