Post holing can kill you!

Go big as you can!

Today, used old school (SEAL issued ATLAS 1033...am NOT a SEAL). Newer models are 1035 or 1040, I think. Good for pretty heavy loads.

TUBBS brand is durable and quality.

Your weight + gear weight, angle of slope and depth and condition of snow determine the size needed.

Do NOT buy discount, cheap or light duty stuff!


Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Pronoun: Yes, SIR !
