Colorado B.S. Thread

So you didn't have to buy her new tires this time?

 

EAF tech talk. Anyone running a collapsible shovel on their rig? I have not found a good option that is compact for the 4runner yet. Needs to be sturdy enough for light to moderate dirt use (poop hole), though mainly for snow recovery. The Tundra I just carried a fiberglass handled standard shovel. Those folding "military" shovels break a little too easy, not good when you're prairie doggin'

 

there prolly is, but I have found not much better for a substitute for the standard issue short handle round nose shovel with the D handle.
Seems like the folding ones are either weak, or won't deploy easy enough.
For winter wheeling, I just toss in a cheap snow shovel for bulk snow removal if needed.

 

Honestly, I don't think my faithful entrenching tool from Army days can handle this Colorado soil of Rock & Clay. I would go with explosives, makes a good hole and lots of fun too.

 

For more fun add more explosives after dropping the deuce...

 

Yeuhp.

stubby shovel > folding shovel

might lose a few expo points but w/e

 

But what if you get one of those stupid, stubby shovels with the teeth on the blade? Then you gain EAF points.

 

good point

 

Then lose those points when you actually use it and they fall off!

 

Isn't that like the honey badger shovel? I can't find it

Totally EAF, but they don't fold down.

Disadvantage of having a 4runner is real estate is filling up quick. It might make sense to loose the RTT and go to an awning tent or other style with cots

 

I just don't understand...
It was supposed to have shipped yesterday

 

We beat our e-tools to death at carson all the time and they never seemed to give up. Maybe you guys got the new garbage lightweight ones cause ours looked like they were 100 years old and stupid heavy.

 

Nope mine was solid (and old) but it seems everywhere we dug in was sand/ loose soil so easy peasy. Soil here is a different animal altogether but if you dug here, than e-tool must be good.

 

I got a little folding SOG shovel to keep in the truck. It's tiny and won't be for digging big stuff, and i haven't tried it yet but just got to have instead of nothing. And it was $20. I think it has a blade like thing on one side?

No #EAF points though since it's hidden out of view and not bolted to the fender.

There is a full size shovel in the decked drawer for real digging.

 

But does it work in snow drifts?
