To illustrate to you flat lander what steep ground is like this is a picture of some of my place. You can see my shop roof slightly left of center in the picture. On a flat surface (a map) it is one mile from my house, shop, barn area to the top of this hill where I am standing. The house sits at 2,700 feet elevation. The top of this hill is 4,700 feet. So 2,000 feet of elevation difference in a mile. You aren't building fence up top here in the winter.

A guy could do it. Is it economical? Probably not on that scale.

That picture was taken in the summer. Every bit of it is by hand. Which makes if very difficult in good weather. A lot of it is difficult to walk on when dry. Add a couple feet of snow...... when you slip and fall you will stop sliding in half a mile or so. The heck with economical. Doing it in the winter can be suicidal.

If you say so.

I have similar hills but less snow (and no river meadow at the bottom), and I am looking for a contractor for about a mile of fence. steep, bedrocky with loose rock on top. dang hard to crawl up on hands and feet, sticking posts in is a PITA, back, arms, hands, legs, and feet!
