    Hmm interesting. I guess anything that could lift one end would work if you put something under it for support which is a good idea anyway.

    On that note, using a farm Jack to get your log up on one end per mdavlee's suggestion, you could then support the log with cribbing and remove the Jack, no?

    I cut squares and stack them under the ends.

    Engine cherry picker, then crib it up and ditch the picker?

    Sink a 6x6 post in your milling area. Use a boat crank winch on pole, run cable up pole, thru a pulley, and back down to log? This assumes you mill in the same spot.

    Just throwing ideas out...I've never milled anything (yet)

    If the log is small enough a block or round and a longer piece to pry it up and then someone else puts the cribbing in
