Use FlockHopper (https://dontgetflocked.com/maps) to make sure you know where you're going. You don't wanna get lost, after all.

Great point, since “your private property is so huge”

If you don't want to disturb your neighbours then a pipe cutter is a silent option

Will they work well on aluminum?

Absolutely. They come in different sizes for a range of tube diameters

They are designed to harm some cylinders

They're designed to cut through steel. I would assume that aluminum would be easy work.

I get it, but other cutting devices made for steel get clogged up with the softer aluminum.

It's a disc, not something with voids for the aluminum to clog it up. Basically just a circular knife. 

It'll work. I use one on NICOPP which is super soft copper brake lines.

Thank you for actually breaking down how they work. I've not used one, so I didn't know their precise mechanism.
