Who packs a shovel when out and about?

[ROCK6]

Wal-Mart has a 99¢ Gerber/Fiskars zytel garden trowel in the garden department.

it's not orange like the ones you usually see in the backpacking stores. it's less expensive, it's light and it has a removable cap so you could put something inside. i haven't tested either to destruction, but i expect it's tougher than the orange one too.

and it's also handy when hunting for stuff with a metal detector.

That Fiskars shovel is 10x stronger than the typical orange one sold in backpacking stores. If I wanted a compact synthetic trowel, that's the one:thumbup:
