The Evolution of the Entrenching Tool.  Has anyone used any of these items before?  Which one did you get to carry around?

    Como dijo Einstein, supongo que el siguiente modelo para la cuarta será una piedra.

    I'm not a fan of the modern e-tool, if only because the ones I'd used just kept collapsing, to the point where the only option was to cross the threads. Must be the first generation moderns, because I hear they lock better now. Definitely put in a lot of work in Scouting with a Korea/Vietnam era one though!

    I've had the scouts  use these as I had to  when I was younger. Never fails to amaze me how "Cool " it is to dig a hole when they are using one of these.

    I was given a pick axe.

    The handle was dated 1941, the head has been replaced many times.

    I have mine in the car, use it as a snow shovel when stuck.

    That actually doesn't seem like progress. The folding is nice, but I think it's just asking for structural instability.

    If not done well, I'd agree. I beat the hell out of my folder over the last 12 years but it is still holding very well.

    I've had two folding ones break on me but they were the type that you could open even if it was shut without unscrewing it. That's really cheap

    Reminds me that mine has the ability to have an actual shovel handle inserted into it for those bigger jobs

    Ugh.. E-tools, when we had to use those we didn't, we went looking for an OVM with a real shovel.

    While not sharpened, i'm pretty sure I have one in the emergency pack in my car. It's just a little basic pack, been meaning to flesh it out some make it more respectable.

    Some of these shovels can have that rubber handle spray applied to certain parts of it to make it have an easier grip. You can also use a bucket of bedliner stuff

    We used my Dad's (Korean War era) to dig out the car in Arrowhead after it got buried by the snow plows. Amazingly his still had that cover in halfway decent shape too. It was very handy. Years later we made coffee with the little stove he had from same era while camping in Yosemite.
