Mine pretty much sits in the garage collecting dust, so I guess the poop answer was about the closest response lol

Snow mostly, but I've used it to drain water holes on the trail.

I was thinking about stopping on fordyce to clear the exit of one but there wasn't a good place to pull off and we were rolling along pretty well.

A shovel is also an decent firefighting tool.

Closed Mondays.

I just tossed my folding G.I. shovel in the trash. That is one useless tool I won't miss. If you need a shovel, those won't last more than 15 minutes of hard work. I'll stick with a full sized shovel for snow runs and leave it home the rest of the year.

My shovel is like Troy's, it has been sitting in my garage since I bought it.

I had to take my shovel with me today. It's required if you're running a chainsaw. I cut a solid cord+ of wood. 8) That Ford is a tank. I barely got to the overloads! Of course it leaked coolant when I stopped and burned about $100 in gas, but, no propane for me this winter. Thanks Larry.
