>>838369>if we put the "muh survival" har on for a moment, i feel a lot of people neglect the shovel, a shovel can enable a LOT of shelter buildingNot to mention it makes it a lot easier to dig up root while also opening a lot of options for trapping.
I thought about carrying one in my bob but i decided against it because of weight/size and the fact that shovels are extremely common. You can find decent quality shovel and gardening tools literally at any old cabin, house, constructions site etc but its a lot harder to find a quality knife or hatchet.
But i have thought about one of these. Infinitely better then a digging stick and if you sharpen it and put it on a stick you have a decent spear.
