Well, you never know when you might need to move really large weights doing construction around ye olde homesteade, but not have a handy million dollar crane handy. This guy has found the not so secret secret that allowed such things as the pyramids and Stonehenge and Coral Castle to be built. It is just too cool.. We used similar principles in moving large equipment crates around the booth area in the tradeshow biz when you couldn't get forklift time. It really does work, I've just never tried it with really much larger things past around 1200 lbs or so,(yes, one guy can move a 1200 lb crate across the floor without a ton of effort) but this dude in Michigan literally moved a big barn by hand across a field. He can do vertical lifts, and horizontal moves, using not much at all for motive power than gravity, and just planks and small stones. For real. He's now building a replica stonehenge.
