[pct-l] gear question - SPADE

[jerrygoller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Jerry Goller)]

Use a snow stake. They even make one that has no holes in it. The 9" one I
carry weighs just about an ounce. Just grab it like a knife with your thumb
over the end and dig your hole.

Hi All,

What do you use for a spade when nature calls?  I have seen plastic
(very skeptical) and heavy ones like the one I got at a garden store.  I
saw an 8" titanium one - http://tinyurl.com/5vr3 Anybody used it?

I know this is a shitty question, but I really want to get to the bottom
of the issue before my chances of a good trip get flushed away. ;)
