Shovel snow without wrecking your back
-
Warm up like it is exercise.
Because it is. Two minutes of arm circles and squats before the first scoop.
-
Push, do not lift.
Plough the snow to the side wherever geometry allows. Lifting is the exception, not the method.
-
Lift with the legs, small loads.
Squat, keep the load close, stand with the legs. Half shovels, twice as often.
-
Never twist and throw.
Turn the whole body by stepping. The twist-and-fling is the classic back injury in one motion.
-
Pace it and salt after.
Breaks every ten minutes; fresh snow early beats packed snow later. Grit the cleared path.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.
No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
