I bought a $7, 2' X 5', runner rug, from Walmart. I put it on the bottom of
the sled for hauling. After I drill a hole, I put the runner down and slide the
sled on, keeping a small section showing for my feet. It eliminates sled moving and noise, on the ice, without a lot of weight. Don't get sloppy with hole drilling or the rug will freeze to ice.
Works for me
