Here's a pic of the $9 surplus foldable shovel I just got. Its a bit long to put inside a backpack, but will hang nicely on the outside of one. (Image removed from quote.)

I can see what will happen though, I will end up buying a few and getting a little collection going but I would really like to keep it to a minium!
Its not quite the same. Mine has no pick at the back,and the shaft is fastened with two rivets. Is the fastening sylinder on yours made of plastic or metal? I have one that is very similar to yours made in taiwan wich has a plastic fatening cyliner. That tool is smaller and not as solid as the old US one wich is all metal and wood.
Well i am close to pulling the trigger on the chinese one first.Then i saw the Crovel.
if you like what's on that page you got to do a little more research, cause that's not everything, they have other attachments for it, grant it it's a little pricy but if you were going to pay for the other one, its not that much more, unless you start buying all the accessory,, JR
