Guest Erin go bragh Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 If he digs 5ft holes for the fun off it then it means that when it does come to a big dig 5ft is nothing to him Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Never seen one quite like that in my life, Frank. I'm only glad - having read the threads title - it's not one of those f***ing useless 'Entrenching Tools' of around that period. Only thing that baffles me is; If digging holes is part of your job, then surely you'd have a better idea of what modern tool is best? Granted, I have a Range here. I also have a micro wave. One's ancient and the others modern designed technoligy. No prize for guessing which one I use to prepare my grub! Why not dig tar pits to catch things? On another note; Are you new to ferreting? Only it breaks my heart to see new comers kitting themselves out with spades and knocker boxes. In my day we just managed our ferrets right and didn't go out expecting lay ups and landscape alterations Light feed on a strong hob was always better than a strong back on a light spade, mate.
