Business
Yard Cleanup Dragging Service
Offer a post-storm or seasonal yard clean-up microservice that drags brush, limbs, and bagged debris to the curb using a tarp sled and the tow rope. Flat-rate pricing per pile or per hour, with add-ons for bundling/stacking. Emphasize safe, ground-level drags only.
Light Equipment Recovery for Landscapers
Provide on-call help to free stuck mowers, snowblowers, and small ATVs or to reposition small sheds/playsets across lawns. Use ground-protection mats and the rope for controlled drags within the 1,500 lb safe working strength. Bill per incident plus travel.
Kayak/Beach Launch Concierge
At lakes or marinas, help customers launch/land kayaks and SUPs, tow short distances along shore, and shuttle gear from parking to water. Rent ropes as add-ons and sell quick-release hardware kits. Offer season passes for frequent paddlers.
Event Setup Quick-Tension Crew
Use the rope and hooks to rapidly tension ground-level site elements like temporary fencing, banner lines, and stanchion guides for markets and races. Charge per linear foot of setup and offer same-day adjustments. Avoid overhead rigging or any suspended loads.
Light-Duty Recovery/Haul Kits
Assemble and sell branded kits (e.g., Yard Drag Kit, Trail Buddy Kit) including the rope, a tarp or tree-saver strap, protective sleeves, gloves, and a laminated safety guide. Sell online and at garden centers, campgrounds, and UTV shops.

Backyard Brush-Drag Sled
Clip the hooks to grommets on a heavy-duty tarp to make a drag sled for branches, leaf bags, or firewood. The easy-grip handles let one person steer and pull across grass or snow. Keep loads modest and paths clear to avoid snagging; never tow behind a vehicle.
DIY Tire Sled Trainer
Turn an old tire into a conditioning sled. Run the rope through the tire and connect using the G-clips or a D-ring; use the handles to pull facing forward or backward. Tape or sleeve over the hooks so they don’t contact the body. Train on grass and keep effort within the rope’s 1,500 lb safe working strength.
Kayak/Canoe Shore Assist Line
Use the floating polypropylene rope to help launch, land, or short-distance reposition small kayaks/canoes. Clip a hook to the bow eye or dock cleat and use the high-visibility line to guide safely. Add a quick-release knot so you can detach instantly if needed.
Garden Log and Stone Positioner
Loop the rope around small logs, edging timbers, or pavers to inch them into place without pinched fingers. The abrasion-resistant braid handles ground drag well; add a sleeve or old hose over the contact point to protect the rope from sharp edges.
Campsite Utility/Tension Line
Create a quick clothesline, gear hang, or shade-tarp tension line. The hooks make fast attachment to trees or stakes, and the handles help pull tension using a trucker’s hitch. Use only for light loads; not for climbing or suspending people.
