I Can Dig It
Nice compact design. This is a step up from most compact army shovels. I purchased this for a bug-out bag I was putting together for my son. I should switch it out, and give him my old wood handled folding army shovel. But, as a parent, we always want a better life for our kids; so, I’ll let him have this nice telescoping shovel. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Takes a minute to figure out the lock on the telescoping handle, but once you figure it out it is easy to use. Seems durable enough, although some play is noted in the upper handle. The “T” handle is a nice feature for digging in shovel mode. Quickly rotates to use as a pick, or collapses for packing. Nice nylon sheath, too.
