After a bit of advice on here about mud (and doing what bears do in the woods) I treated myself to a lightweight army style folding spade:
It arrived today and much to my amusment it must of been made in toy town:
Perfect for the job but definitely not what I was expecting.

I ordered a pair of Mole grips off Ebay a while back and they looked like they had come out of a cracker!
The lightest piece of kit is the one you leave behind...

Re: Online shopping is funny sometimes.
That's funny Brenhden.
Tracie bought some pie dishes off ebay recently (i.e. those pie-sized metal dishes you cook a pie in). She assumed that they would be kind of pie-sized - let's say 12cm by about 9cm - and didn't check the advert properly. Sure enough they arrived and we just burst out laughing. No bigger than a credit card. We use them as miniature ash-trays.
So now when we order anything on ebay I always ask her to check that she isn't buying another 'pie-dish'. One day she'll click buy it now on a VW Golf and receive a matchbox toy...

Re: Online shopping is funny sometimes.
Or perfect for the jobbie perhaps? Although not much use for scooping ballot's poops ...
Seen here last week next to a 'conventional' husky ...
