takes up less space,

and if you have ever tried diggin a disco out with one, you wont get stuck again cos you will avoid havin to use an ex army shovel by doin anythin ya can not to get stuck!

you wont be that ****ed off if you have a full size spade. I have my foldaway one with me all the time, but would want to use it.
oh, and dont bother with small a axe. get a big one and it will save lots of energy on digging hard ground, too. fits perfectly behind a seat of a s3, as do about 3 corpses
