Lol, right. I'm sure that US troops just throw their entrenching tools aside and use their hands.I would put it there w better than hands. But not by much. And hands might be faster depending what your digging.

A military trenching shovel is part of my beach kit.The majority of my off-roading will be while surf fishing on the beaches. All beaches that I will be frequenting require a shovel as part of your mandatory gear. I have a folding military shovel that will go in my kit but am thinking of putting a long handle shovel on the roof rack in the event I need to shovel out in the center line of the Jeep. I also like to travel back roads for photography opportunities and a shovel would be good to have especially in snowy situations. You never know what will arise.
I am not trying to be like a troop and dig in a waist high trench. I want the easiest tool for the job.Lol, right. I'm sure that US troops just throw their entrenching tools aside and use their hands.
Since your in-the-know give me the most killer tac shovel u know of. I will buy it, and try it. I am open to being educated. what serrated-fold-neck non-sharpened, matte spray painted shovel works easily for a large man with a shoe larger than the shovel handle? So I can dig my jeep out of a hole in BFE and not get shot.Lol, right. I'm sure that US troops just throw their entrenching tools aside and use their hands.
When I see you using one of those silly shovels from Home Depot, I'll laugh at you from the seat of my Caterpillar back hoe.I am not trying to be like a troop and dig in a waist high trench. I want the easiest tool for the job.
If I ever see you using one of those silly little shovels, I will give you mine from home depot.
Sorry. It's like using a bike tire pump to inflate a 37.
U carry a Rambo knife too? With the compass?
Simple. I have a Korean war surplus US Army bi-fold shovel/pick. I've had it for probably 25 years. Had to use it once, IIRC, with my YJ at Turkey Bay ORV area in Land Between the Lakes, Kentucky..Since your in-the-know give me the most killer tac shovel u know of. I will buy it, and try it.

I will put this shovel SXS in a digging contest in anything against something I sharpened that fell out of the back of someones truck on the highway.
Spend the coin on a better winch. And I do carry a shovel.
Man, my thoughts exactly.When I see you using one of those silly shovels from Home Depot, I'll laugh at you from the seat of my Caterpillar back hoe.
I'll bet you carry an entire Snap-On tool chest, too, right? Right.
Uh, ok.Man, my thoughts exactly.
Nope, on the tool chest.
I've used those korean war era shovels, to heavy equipment, to even laying mats a few times.
Digging anything other than loose sand or a fire pit with those is probably a good choice for someone who has never spent a few days on a ladder.
Half that crap is cheap chinese made stamped pot. 200 bucks for a fin'g shovel. Please.
Carry an old stamped steel GI pot to match your shovel. You can get a bigger scoop with that.
