    Gerber makes one with a pick too.

    The surplus store at Hampden and Broadway used to have East German surplus army shovels that work quite well. I have one in each of my vehicles.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    I went with a full time shovel and have been pretty happy with it. I mounted it to the 2x12 I use as a bed divider:




    The world is full of compromising choices. I have an $8 Smith PocketPal sharpening jig in my truck. A couple passes through the course part, and I can put a sharp enough edge on the shovel to function as an impromptu ax for small branches. Not nearly as good as a small camp axe, but functional enough in a pinch.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

    Very nice. Very similar to what I am thinking about. Even better that you have a rolling bed cover (same as me). Danke.

    I just hit purchase on a Gerber and will check it out. If I dont like it for the intended purpose I will put it in the wife's vehicle and go with a full time full-size shovel.
    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?
