Glock field shovel...

I carry a small spade tip and a kinda medium squaretip/flat shovel from Harbor Freight. Work well, hold up well, and cheap enough I can survive if if I loose it or loan it out on the trail. John

Old school GI folding entrenchment tool. Solid wood handle, positions for spade and adze, sturdy metal fixtures, cover easily available. What's not to love?

I use one that can dig a hole. The best shovel is the one that fits the size of the kids you take camping with you - let them do the work

cheers,
george.

Picked this one up at Ace for $9 bucks on sale about 5 years ago

The wood pole eventually started cracking, so I replaced it with a steel pipe and welded it in place

Good idea on the steel handle replacement. The HF ones I have are plastic/fiberglass whatever, so we will see how they last in the sunshine down here. John

x2 on the Fiskars shovels. Though they are made in China, they have a lifetime warranty, are all-steel, fit great in the hand and are just plain beefy. Available with long handle (my preference) and a shorter version with a D-handle

Walmart has a cool one that folds up for cheap.

I got this collapsible one to carry in my regular car, but it's just to use if I get stuck in the snow.

Haven't had to use it yet.

A short handled spade in the summer, an avalanche shovel in the winter.

I have a Gerber folding one in the Land Cruiser and a cheap military folding one in the Jeep. Never used either yet.
