Bobcat lets me down again...How a dump trailer works, Return of the Red Beaver..moving wood chips!

What happens here

The presenter, Josh, introduces the main objective for the day: moving a large pile of wood chips (referred to as "mulch") left by a timber crew to a designated camping area, "Stoney Ridge Falls," which is located near a creek and is intended to be below a future cabin site. He also mentions the need to repair a newly laid gravel road that is currently uneven. The plan involves using a dump trailer and a skid steer for these tasks. He also briefly introduces his friend, Steve, who is coming to volunteer.

Goal: Understand the day's tasks: moving wood chips and repairing roads.
