So I have a question about military shovels/entrenching tools. Are they really functional as axes in a backpacking context or is their multifunctionality just a meme? What is the thickest thing I can expect to reasonably chop with one? What brands/models should I go for if I don't want one of the many tacticool trash ones for sale? Are they actually worthwhile for saving space instead of having a bunch of tools?
