Build anywhere with a gas powered winch

How do large logs get moved
on a remote log cabin construction site that has no power or heavy
machinary?
Gas powered winch of course.
The one on the right will cost you about 800 bucks and hooks up to most
chainsaws. The bigger one comes with it's own engine and will run you
over 1300 dollars.
A good equipment rental store
might rent these out for around 50 bucks a day, which would be well
worth it if you're trying to carve out a log cabin structure in the
middle of nowhere.
That style of building would
qualify as extreme homesteading in most people's book.
