B.P.R 2,798 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I've got the folding army spade, it's called an entrenching tool. Load of shite. I had this brand new one, never used. Used it to dig a hole When I was in Kenya and it fookin broke. there was crocodiles so I used mine as a spear but ut didn't work! Lol. I've got e new one now. Not used, so I'm going to use it when the season comes. They are handy things, small and compact to carry. The head of it also locks in different positions for scooping dirt out Quote Link to post
