I’ve spent a lifetime assuming that moving large objects meant using large machinery. Call me what you will, but that just seemed like good common sense.
Apparently I’ve been wrong. It took our time in Nepal (or India, for that matter) to illustrate that nearly anything, and I mean anything, can be moved by human power alone. Don’t get me wrong. That’s not to say that I could do it. No, no, no. I’m a weak-necked westerner. The weight of these things, while riding on the back, are always supported by slinging a strap across the forehead. A neck-of-steel is a must.
Take the Cabinet With Legs in the photo above. The weight of this heavy furniture is supported solely by his back and neck. No easy feat, if you ask me.
And that’s not all. Not pictured here were his companions – one carrying a full couch and the other two love seats, stacked on top of one another.
