>>839048>Folding shovels are heavier and more prone to breakingHeavy? yep.
Prone to breaking? Maybe the cheap ones. I got a Swedish milsurp that was designed to be used and abused by conscripts and its solid and as hell and probably twice as old as me. The folding mechanic is good because it makes it double as hoe.
>They're nearly flat anyway. Why worry about it if it's just sitting in the trunk?I don't, its just something i got for free. If i had to hike with a shovel i think i would pick the cold steel one posted in the thread. Never used on personally but a well respected youtubers likes it.
