I know where there is a burnt up jeep in the woods been there for awhile.Also know where there are 3-4 other cars in the woods.I see it as free money but how would i get them out of there?
The only thing i can think is cut them up with a sawzall and haul them out that way.
Does anyone have any good ideas on this lol?

I would try to figure out who owns the vehicles and ask if they want them removed.
as far as removal goes, a tow strap or a winch goes a long ways. faster than cutting up in the woods likely. depending on how old they are, they are likely worth more than scrap value as well.

Also, if you have not done so already, make contact with the property owner. I have considered this in the past and found that the property was owned by the railroad (CSX) and they would not give me permission to remove the vehicles. The cars were not owned by CSX and were likely stolen or otherwise abandoned.
In doing something like this just make sure your i's are crossed and t's dotted.

I say winch. Also alot less work. As for cutting, would much rather drop any trees that are in the way. I guess it would also depend on the circumstance.
You need a real good winch though, especially if they are half sunk in the ground. When they are, you need to pull 2 or 3x more, you'll need a snatch block

Good advice posted. Get permission first or you could be charged with trespassing, vandalism and theft. That's if you don't get shot first. Lol.

These are on property no one owns.There is no way to get my truck anywhere close to them.
I guess a generator and sawzall will have to do the trick lol.

If its government land (up here its called "Crown Land") you can just tell whoever bugs you that you're cleaning up stuff that someone dumped there. Anyone who trys to stop you from cleaning up the environment is just someone whos bored and wants to cause sh*t. Iv come across a few of those lolOriginally Posted by Focker
The MNR up here wouldnt mind anyone cleaning up a mess in the woods.
If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

I really preferred it in the old days when I was preventing forest fires instead...

I would check plat books to see if the property around it (for possible easier access) is owned. It could be land locked. Also for abandoned vehicles like this get ahold of the sheriffs office, they contact dnr, and give you permission to remove the vehicles legally! I have done this before and as long as they are not stolen (in the system as stolen) you are good to go.
