Instead of raking up the excess pine needles around your mountain cabin, an outdoor vacuum might simplify the task. Not just any vacuum is appropriate for picking up pine needles due to the pine sap. Before trying one, determine where you intend to use the vacuum. While an outdoor vacuum might be ideal for sucking up those pine needles on your decking, it might choke at the thought of pine needles on the bare dirt.

Cyclone Rake Power

A vacuum suitable for cleaning up the pine needles directly from the ground might be the Cyclone Rake Power Vacuum Pickup, which claims to pick up anything that isn't "hard-frozen to the ground." It picks up wet leaves, pine needles, acorns and pine cones. Instead of a vacuum motor that you push around the yard, a large hose connects to the motor body of the Cyclone Rake Power. It is the hose, as opposed to a vacuum handle, which you hold and direct to the debris. The vacuum's long hose has a 17-foot reach.
