... Here is a good, sturdy, medium strength shovel for just about any purpose you can have whether camping, hiking, for the car, gardening, etc. This is the kind of personal shovel that is issued to military personnel. It folds into a trinagle about 6"Lx4"Wx2"H and, when extended, is about 10" long. It has a ripple on one edge that is supposed to represent a saw built onto the blade. This shovel is very good for chipping ice in the winter time when you get your vehicle stuck. It is somewhat adequate for shoveling snow, it gets the job done but that is not what it was designed for. Have two vehicles and have one of these shovels in each. Great for when you get stuck in any other type of soil/terrain other than snow. It is great for gardening, camping, and hiking. If your are in a combat situation, this shovel is great for digging that hasty fighting postion (its intended purpose) and then improve that position with a larger shovel. This shovel, also, is great if you got to do the poo thing because you can dig a hole and fold the blade to a 90 degree position, lock it in place, set the handle on the ground with the 90 degree shovel standing up, and sit on it to use as a seat. Unfortunately, you can only place one butt cheek on the blade, that is all the room you have for. It also makes for a good, sturdy weapon against critters and such, when extended. It comes with a plastic container that attaches to your utility belt or backpack. The uses for this shovel are only limited to your imagination. The only thing that I can really say bad about this shovel is that make-believe saw on one of the blades. It is worthless and is a big joke. Twenty years in the military using a shovel like this and not once was I able to saw through anything. Guess it makes a good conversation piece around the camp fire. ...
