Easily move heavy stack of fire wood - slide or sled
“I used my big slider this weekend to move wood around. The guys thought it was the coolest thing. I never thought of dragging a deer.“– MD, TX
So Mag Ruffman isn’t the only who figured out BigSlider™ works great for firewood! Easily move the heavy stack of fire wood by slide or sled movement on the Professional or Wider models.
Here’s a link to Mag’s video.

Easily slide deer one person
“It was dark by the time we had found our deer. We’ve also been using “Big Slider” for a lot of useful things out around the yard.” – GG, WI
Gary shows us how to easily move heavy doe with one person. Great for the alone or solo hunter. And, it’s helping out with yard work, too. That’s why we call them “utility” movers! — Jeri

Video Transcript:
My name’s Gary. I’m going to demonstrate the BigSlider. I live in an area for deer hunting. We have to shoot a doe – it’s called herd control or “earn a buck.” We have to shoot a doe before we can shoot a buck. In this situation, here’s my doe. I shot my doe, filled my doe tag. Now I can hunt my big buck.
Here’s BigSlider put to use. Put the doe on the slider, got it out of the woods. But this is how easy she sled. I wanted to demonstrate it coming out of the woods, but the camera wasn’t with us. Didn’t anticipate this happening tonight…but same situation. Right there.
That’s how easy she slides. All to BigSlider – makes things a lot easier. Here’s one-handed!
Didn’t have BigSlider when I dragged it out of the swamp – it was son-of-a-gun getting it out of the swamp – but, there you go. Thanks BigSlider!

Raking and Bagging Leaves, and Moving Lawn Bags
Raking leaves is a natural and enjoyable part of the Fall season, as well as being an important chore for good lawn maintenance. It is good physical activity, building upper body strength and strengthening your back and stomach.
    |
It is important to alternate sides, that is, changes hands, when raking leaves, in order to balance the load and strain on your body. Ten minutes on a side is a good rule of thumb, but judge by the feeling in your muscles instead of the clock. Don’t overdo it on either side without a rest.
While you can strain your back with over-zealous raking, the greater danger comes after the raking is completed and you begin bagging and removing the leaves. Lifting weights that you are not used to can strain your back muscles seriously and quickly. It can happen in an instant, and you are more vulnerable after you have been working these muscles with your raking activity.
You should be careful when bagging the leaves to not overfill the bags and get them too heavy to lift, but even bags that are not overloaded can often strain your back because of your position as you lift the loaded bags.
It is common to use wheelbarrows or garden carts to move loaded lawn bags, but people will also drag full bags, or put leaves on a tarp and drag the tarp to dispose of the leaves. The problem with these solutions is that the bag is easily torn, and the tarp can be awkward to handle.
A better solution is to use a new garden tool known as BIGSLIDER™ utility mover. This is a 2 by 5 foot piece
of tough, slick plastic designed specifically for these kinds of tasks. Grab the comfortable 1 inch diameter handle, and you can easily slide your loaded lawn bags (or heavy pots and mulch bags) over grass, concrete, rocks, sand, mud, bricks or wooden decking — without waiting for help. This convenient tool can move multiple pots or up to six 39-gal fully packed lawn and leaf bags in one trip (click on photo).
You can watch a short video illustrating how to use the BIGSLIDER™ to easily rake up and bag a big load of leaves. Note the large volume of leaves that can be handled with little effort and how using two of these handy tools makes the job so much easier!

We received a call yesterday from NL, who lives just south of Yosemite National Park in California. Needless to say, she works in a sloped, rocky area. She’s in her 60s living alone and enthusiastically told us that even though she’s getting weaker, she’s going to be able to continue gardening, moving heavy potted plants and heavy landscaping rocks…moving heavy stuff by herself, and placing them exactly where she wants them.
She’s showing us how to make landscaping projects easier by using the BigSlider™ small appliance mover to slide 100 lb pavers and heay potted plants in to place on rocky slopes. Two years ago, we upgraded her from a YardPal to the Small Appliance mover due to the rocks she landscapes on. Now, she’s finally ready for another one.
NL says her Small Appliance Mover is a “miracle worker” and “there’s no way I could’ve done without it. BigSlider turns ‘impossible’ jobs into just ‘hard’ jobs.”
Way to go NL – keep up the good work!

Small Appliance Mover for 100 lb landscaping pavers
“I need to get another bigslider. I bought one for my dad last year and he loves it. His friend, who had back surgery, has borrowed my dad’s several times. So my dad wants to get one for him.”
–JSM, TX
“The project went very well. I moved two potted fruit trees that were at least 500 pounds without a problem or a mark on the pavers. I was impressed not sure it would withstand the weight. A great item to have on hand.”
– LW, AZ
Moving a big load of branches
Mag Ruffman from ToolGirl.com recently showed how to move heavy stuff with BigSlider™ utility mover. Here’s what you’ll see in the video:
Move a heavy load of firewood; move a heavy potted plant; use it to stuff a bag full of detritus – then just remove it when you’re done; easy to load..and unload the car with heavy camping gear – especially joyful!…and drag your husband around when he’s King for the Day.
It’s an alternative to the wheel…and the wheelbarrow! Compare the handcart to BigSlider™ utility mover. “Simple and elegant…it’s a friction-reducer.” Slides over concrete, grass and wood – whatever you need to slide over. Turns on a dime!

And, another note from our new home owner in Nova Scotia who is also moving piles of wood chips around his rocky, hilly property…
Easily Move Heavy Rocks
“This is the reason I thought of the Big Slider. We have so many rocks to move over rough terrain that a wheel barrow would have been a pain.
Even when its loaded to the max. weight, the Slider just flows over the other rocks like a wave.
Regards, AB”
Wow – we love that BigSlider™ heavy duty tray is riding the rocks in Nova Scotia! Thanks for sharing your story and photos, AB! Jeri
