For those who know how to weld, making your own portable impact mill / crusher for field use is possible.
I'll scope this thread to gas engines only.
Here are some example builds (not necessarily the 'best', but certainly some of the lightest and most portable:
4 stroke engine - build #1

Hmm, so I need to get better at welding, or just put down lots of weld, then grind it clean. Well, I guess also get a hardrock claim to work lol
Its like tying knots, it you cant tie a knot well, tie a lot of them lol.
