After both my front wheels got stuck in a dune, I got a Glock entrenching tool. I haven't really tested it yet but I tried it a little and it works well and feels quite solid.I also keep a mat in the trunk now.

I agree with that completely even if you aren't an off roader. There has not been a winter in my adult life that I haven't had to help push a car out of the snow, and I can't help but feel that these people may have been able to solve their own issues if they'd been able to dig it away from the wheels a little bit.Def

Mind you, there wasn't nearly as much heavy pounding as I subjected the Gerber to, but still it came in extremely handy.
A car trunk isn't really weight limited, but more space limited. can't put your shopping in there if it's full of dirty shovels. And as such, I wonder if anyone makes a good full-size folding shovel? Not useful for soldiers, because it's as heavy as a full size shovel with a bit extra (for the folding mechanism). But you can put it in a bag so your shopping stays clean!
Depends on the use obviously.Driving 1000km with a shovel in the trunk just because you might have to make an inch wide gap over a distance of 4m doesn't make any sense, size/weight to use ratio wise.Where do you draw te line? Instead of a small axe, take a full size one.Instead of a folding chair, take a comfy one from the dining room you'll end up taking the kitchen sink, without room to spare for some fresh underwear.
