allgame,

 

i hunt around Ballarat.

 

All my hunting is done on foot, and mostly alone. I carry a takedown post-hole shovel (5 foot handle) that fits in my backpack, hatchet, plant shears, and a sharp knife.

 

Never had much use for a digging bar. After walking for 4 hours (round trip) and digging for 2, they are just to bloody heavy to carry around.

 

Cheers mate,

Then pip get yourself one of these.

Great shovel for handy soil.

You'll be shifting soil a lot quicker ha ha

 

I'd agree with that,i always take a large fan shovel very handy for clearing. Also i take a graft, 2 small bulldog spades(i usually dig with a mate) and a 4ft bar because alot of the land i dig has limestone about 3-4ft down. A friend also digs with a large bulldog fork which works surprisingly well in certain situations. I hunt on a quad so i dont have to worry about having too much kit, when i got about on foot always made do with the small bulldog spades and a bar.
