A story all ex-GIs will appreciate. I never saw any of the machines he points out and cannot imagine using one in the field.

A little hard to pack in a ruck.

I actually perfectly fits into a rucksack or easily attaches to the outside. You can buy one cheap at any military surplus store and eBay has them for less than $20.

Back in the day, I made over $150,000 growing weed using nothing but that tool and a bucket to haul water.

What a great invention!!!!

It folds up nicely.

Comes with a pouch and can be worn on the belt, or carried in a large cargo pocket.

I was talking about the motorized excavators.

Marines always have and apparently still do refer to it as an "entrenching tool". Mine had a straight wood handle.
