General Discussion

Just keeping the trails clear is a major chore. Then we try to go off trails to eradicate invasive plants. That is even more difficult because we encounter thorns, branches tree trunks, insects and on and on. Oh, and our terrain is mostly flat or it probably wouldn't be a swamp.

Fortunately, we have no poisonous reptiles on the property. Nor bears or Mountain Lions.

So let's consider Pacific Palisades. I have never been there. But the photographs and videos.I don't know if the area qualifies as mountainous. But there are clearly substantial hills. When my club volunteers to clear a part of the Appalachian Train in N.J., then we get hills. And guess what. We "run out of gas" in about an hour or two. In other words, the weed wacking, combined with chopping, cutting and so forth - tires us out quite quickly.

I cannot imaging trying to clear the brush from those hills.
