Manifesto

Built on Passion, Driven by Innovation

Backslope Tools officially began its journey in 2019, but its foundation was laid over two decades ago. Born from a deep-seated passion for trail building, Backslope Tools exists to empower trail builders with the tools they need to transform nature’s canvas into breathtaking works of art.

At Backslope Tools, we see every trail as a masterpiece. The dirt and rock are our medium, the tools our paintbrush, and the finished trail is our legacy. Trail builders deserve tools that not only meet the standards of today but also push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Innovation Rooted in Tradition

We honor the heritage of tools like the McLeod and Pulaski—icons of trail building that have stood the test of time. But tradition alone is not enough. That’s why we’ve reimagined these classics to meet the evolving needs of modern trail builders. By enhancing their functionality, durability, and adaptability, we’ve ensured they remain indispensable in the hands of today’s trailblazers.

Listening, Learning, and Innovating

Our commitment to excellence goes beyond tradition. When our tools fall short, we listen, learn, and innovate. This philosophy led to the creation of the HaulAll—a groundbreaking tool born from necessity. The founder of Backslope Tools, a trail artist with over 20 years of experience, established the company to address a critical challenge faced by trail builders: moving large rocks without the right equipment. After extensive field testing and numerous iterations, the HaulAll emerged as the go-to solution for trail builders everywhere.

Tools Designed for the Modern Trail Builder

Today, Backslope Tools continues to set the standard with innovative designs. Our striking line of lockable, stackable, and field-repairable tools redefines what’s possible in trail building. Each tool is the result of countless days spent in the woods, deserts, and mountains—testing, refining, and striving for something better.
