Anyone have or know where I can get hold of a digging tool? Looking for a Sawtooth Gator or Lesche or similar.
Dont want to lug a spade about(attracts too much attention and is way too heavy) and Im tired of breaking trowels that just arent man enough for the job...

this may help
try a small 4wd spade take the handle off and replace with a alloy one put a thread on the blade and a thread on the handle
you now have a reasonably sturdy spade able to be hidden in the pack and easily assembled when needed
