    Did a quick search looking for more info about axes and shovels. Nothing really concise here on the forums, so I decided to start a thread

    you could buy a $25 shovel and cut some teeth it in, paint it red, give me $100 and still save money and have a better product

    IF you got some money to burn or got a buddy in service with sticky fingers you can get yourself a Max Axe. Managed to snag one years ago and it's a solid tool. Like a gerber multitool, jack of all trades but master of none.

    Im sure the rattle can PJ will last, lets be honest, itll never actually be put to use. I just want it to look nice on my overland rack when I go to the mall.

    Anyways, my TWSS got me the rino foldable survival tool and it feels solid af. Aslong as you aint using the pick side to break large rocks or trying to dig a tunnel to break el chapo out it should be all you really need and more.

    I looked at the the small Craftsman shovel. Didn’t seem bad for the 10 or 15 bucks or whatever it was. Not that I’m trying to cheap be cheap or anything like that. Looking at all options for me and the greater public. I like it.

    I got one of these from Nupla. They have fiberglass handles and are supposedly much stronger than wood and resistant to the elements. I carry a short D handle model.

    I don't actually carry an ax but I have a Ka-Bar machete in the storage box under the back seat of my access cab. I also carry a big 36" pry bar for whatever reason.
