Since I will be in the nature, would it be better for me to find a piece of rocks or brick to use instead of this wheel chock ?

I would probably just get a rock or log. This is an OK chock, but is plastic and obviously won't work well on a large vehicle (1 Ton or larger). Also not sure how well it would grip on the dirt.

The beauty of these wheel chocks is they're light, they're shaped correctly, and you always have them handy. Hoping to find rocks and bricks when you get to a site is just asking for trouble. And if you carry around rocks or bricks, you're just carrying unnecessary weight. Best of all, the chocks can be recycled after they've served their duty. Use the Boy Scout motto of "Be Prepared" and have a pair (or two pairs) of these chocks ready when you need them.

Yes, it worked great when I (over)loaded it up with very heavy bricks from the 1800's. They are rubber, so I wouldn't store them in the cold.

Yes, the gravel will actually be more leveled than smooth though. Hope that makes sense.

You can use it along the grass. Run the wheel portion on the grass. A little tougher but will work.

Yes. It has kind of a a lip which allows it to be used as a wheel chock. On the other wheel I would also use a wood block to keep the trailer pointed straight.

It has pneumatic wheels so it should be pretty easy to use on gravel, although I haven't tried it. It is very easy to maneuver.

There is a lip around the base of the 'rock' with a few holes drilled where you might be able to anchor it down with some thin stakes or bent pieces of wire. That would be if you place it in an area where you can drive the stakes into the soil. The rock does not come with any stakes or pegs when it is shipped to you and it is relatively light and would be blown away in a strong wind if it is not anchored down.

I dont have sand here but it has large wheels but they are not fat. It could be a chore pulling through deeploose sand.

I would do that but using small stones on bottom so there is some drainage for the soil to avoid saturation.

while camping i use a piece of firewood on the "arms", then place rocks on the ends of the wood for stability. i was worried that the arms were too flimsy for anything too heavy like the rocks directly. the stakes is a great idea, but sometimes were are on blacktop or cement, or hard desert ground without the ability to use stakes!

I personally think it would be better suited for outside, but it is small enough to be used inside. It just rolls VERY freely/easily.

These are specifically made for unlevel conditions. The only concern is you have to watch the gravel. You don't want big chunky rocks under these. I had to buy two kits as one wasn't enough. I use them on a 12k Lb tandem axle 38 ft 5th wheel. Takes 3 under each wheel for me just for starters then one under the landing gear and rear stabilizers. That's 16 and gives me 4 more to add to the low side. If the campsite it any more out of level then that I don't want to park there anyhow.

The short answer is, yes. However I think you will run through a number of wheels before you get the job done.Are you cutting the brick or the laminate? If laminate, no problem. Just make sure you have the room to maneuver. If brick, an angle grinder might be a better alternative fitted with a compound blade.

It's a well made unit but seems more designed for smooth, flat or even sloped surfaces. You may want to look for something with larger diameter wheels and a larger footprint to provide more stability. You might also consider no wheels at all, just a fixed walker when outside. It'll depend a great deal on how rough the terrain is where you plan to travel.

Yes, if you have the proper tools! The rock is much larger than I had expected but we found another spot for it and it looks great.

a stone driveway might be a bit too heavy for it. I doubled mine and placed wood chips on it and decorative rocks in other areas. I don't think it would be the strongest for driveway use. The weight of cars over it might rip it apart underneath.

It will work for that purpose, but the wheel is small, might be better to use a stationary stone.
