EagleInKY Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Not sure who made the one you are speaking of. You can find a number of folding shovels on the various camp gear retailers websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I think the one that you may be referring to may be a small wood-handled rigid shovel. "Cold Steel"(a knifemaker) makes one that isvery similar for about $20.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysjeep Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 My troop uses kids size steel spades we found at an old hardware store. The shovel blade is about 1/3 the size of a standard pointed shovel. The ones we have came with 24" wooden handels with a D grip. I think you can still get similar small shovels at most lawn and garden stores. I also use an old entrenching tool occasionally. I bought a german surplus one for like $5. It is heavy though, but nice for moving coals in a permanent camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarchist Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 drmicrowave72, ditto n the cold steel notation... BSA equipment vendors very based on production price quotes sometimes year to year... What are you looking for just that shovel ? a particular use? alternatives? anarchist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmicrowave72 Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 I looking for the company that made the shovel for the Boy Scouts.

Double Eagle Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Don't know who made them. I have two and love both. I use them more for heavy camping. I use garden tools more on light packing camping. Cold steel's would be my first option if I couldn't locate the BSA ones. The BSA were worth the price, unlike many BSA products. If you are going to do some car/truck short distance camping, a small shovel about 2' or more is great. Just don't skimp on quality, a bent, broken, or cheap shovel will make you miserable in the middle of a campout. I've used mine as a skillet, steel with flint for starting a fire, plate, alarm clock (with a fire bucket), talking shovel (like a talking feather) in a pinch, totem, and many other cool stuff.
