Hoes

Camping hoes and shovels are small, light and strong. You use them to level a spot for your tent, dig a small trench when it rains or clean up a fire pit. That way you keep your camp neat and dry. It is handy at the campsite, for bushcraft and on every long trip.

Why hoes that fold up?

A normal shovel is long and heavy. A hoe or shovel for on the go, however, folds up. Because of this, it fits in your backpack or on the outside of your bag. Yet it is sturdy, because the blade and handle use strong material. So you dig hard without anything bending.

Such a tool also does more than one job. You hoe, dig and loosen soil with the same piece. Moreover, the grip sits well in the hand, so the work goes smoothly.

What should you look for?

First, look at the weight. Do you walk a lot? Then choose a mini shovel, such as the one from FOSCO. Do you camp with the car in one spot? In that case, it can be a bit bigger and heavier. Also check the folding. A good hinge opens smoothly and then locks firmly. Finally, clean and dry the blade after use, so it lasts for years.
