Shovels

[Ratbert]

My shovel gets latrine duty.

There are a few areas where that's verboten. The reservoirs on The Rubicon Trail, for example, had been polluted by feces for ages.

I carry the shovel strapped to the top of the roll bar with a couple of 20” bull straps. The axe fits nicely strapped to the underside of the shelf, again with a couple of bull straps. I absolutely LOVE Jeeps!

Yup. The areas where there are just too many people, the rules change. Pretty much all of social issues are a result of more and more people. For our little forum, that translates to loss of trails.

Where we're going in a few weeks, digging is the prescribed method by the poop authorities.

Question: What isn't a miserable experience in full MOPP gear?

Taking it off is quite nice.

...only to find one's uniform of the day covered in charcoal dust from leaking seams on the aged MOPP gear that should've long since been replaced.

Great for putting out fires (and whatever else is needed: there are all sorts of gadgets tucked into the handle sections too):

Stored inside when clean: it breaks down to fit in the small nylon bag provided, or stored fully assembled inside. And it's long enough it doesn't kill your back when you actually need to use it.

When dirty, it's stored outside on the fender flare grids until it can be cleaned again.

Storing it inside was a no-go for me due to how dirty the shovel usually is, plus how valuable interior space is for me.

What brand is this setup?

What brand is this setup?

Homebrew. The actual shovel mount is just 2 quickfists bolted to the aluminum bracket shown in this post:

What kind of oil do you use on your shovel?

Thats where these really come in into play. Carry it in, carry it out. For real.

You know folks there are many post about accessories. Yet I seldom see post about shovels or holders. Fact is for off roading I would not go without one.

Get yourself a shovel holder folks.

What say you??

Grandpa Larry

Not needed one in 41 years of wheeling yet, so I see no reason to add it to my Jeep.

Pffft…Amsoil of course.
Or waxed…cause Krazy Beavers should be waxed regularly
