I got two big digs to day one for me and the other for a fathers day gift. Nothing says I love you pop like a light weight doo shovel.
It comes with instructions and everything. Seriously light trowels.dig

"It comes with instructions and everything. Seriously light"

In Russia they call that a caviar spoon.

Fitting... It would be a tough call which I ate first.

Love mine on 05/22/2011 05:02:16 MDT Print View

Got it Wednesday. Loved the trowel, nice and light. I can't wait to use it on the brillo-like veg on North Manitou Island. A plastic potty trowel just didn't cut it. Loved the instructions, so did my family.

All pending orders as well as any placed by midnight Sunday will ship out on Tuesday. I had a bit of delay because I decided to wait to get some new handle dipping material. Happy digging!

Can you add extra holes in the lower handle or the blade so it can function as a snow anchor ALA SMT snow anchor

Snow anchor on 05/31/2011 19:29:51 MDT Print View

I don't have a tool that would drill or punch largish holes in the trowels and so I would not be able to do that. But . . . I think a trowel could be used as a snow anchor without holes, especially the Big Dig.

In the East, where my snow camping is generally done in woodlands, I tend to create snow anchors out of sticks I can easily find on downed wood. Above tree line in the East or West, assume you would need multiple snow anchors for a shelter, so not sure how important this trowel functionality would be.

Any chance we could get a photo with you holding both of them? Just want to see size comparison beyond a ruler. :)

Thanks!!

Big Dig is a big deal! on 06/16/2011 19:00:25 MDT Print View

Just got back from a trip in the smokies. Oddly enough my wife loved it. I think she went to the bathroom a couple of extra times just to use it. Each time she would come back and say this thing really works. $36.00 well spent!
