Fold up shovels

[Guest WEE WEE PANTS]

Before anyone says it, no they aint the best.

 

Just seen a few that looked half strong, just for getting right in the tight places.

Just a bit of extra kit.

Ive had one that snapped with one swipe.

But some look half decent.

If you want a small shovel for getting in tight spaces the best thing is a small shovel made by roughneck tools. http://www.supaprice...0&ga=uk11&ts=go

Surplus & Outdoors do a few types.They are genuine Military, not the toys you can buy at some places. Not sure how strong they are, but maybe OK as a back -up;

It seems that hunters have been looking for a good fold-up digging tool for a long time.

I think that the military tools are too small except for the lightest earths.

Split a bulldog shovel and reconnect with a bolted joint.

Carry it in a backpack. It may prove a stronger option if you get stuck.
