Best gardening spades according to redditors

I've got one word for you: needles.

​

This is not how you clear debris safely. These are the right tools (never use hands):

Forgot your shovel: https://www.amazon.com/Bully-Tools-92601-12-Gauge-15-Inch/dp/B006W287Q4/

You have local trails. You should help maintain them if you want to ride them. The fact that they're overgrown means that hardly anyone else does. You know what this means? You can pretty much do whatever you want and the hard part (cutting the actual trails) is already done! All you have to do is clear some shit out of your way.

I've compiled this list for you and I've named it, "Rogue Trail Maintenance Starter Kit!"

Get this shit and go hit your local trails. The sooner you get started, the sooner you can ride them!


E Tool Trench out the low spots and move some earth around.

Folding Saw Vines and small branches.

Bow Saw For the big shit.

Camo Backpack Gotta carry this shit somehow.

Bug Spray Trust me, you'll need this.

Hydration Because beer.

Do you have the regular planet fitness membership or the black one?

If you have the black one you're golden ;)

Other than that, get a good portable stove so you can make some food and boil water for tea or coffee.

Buy a jerrycan for water with a little tap on it, fill it up regularly, it also means you can wash yourself even if you don't have access to showers etc.

A small camping spade is good for number 2s in the woods :)

Get a mosquito net hammock, and maybe a cheap tent it means you can sleep outside or on campsites on hot nights.

Your biggest expense will be gas for the car.

Planet fitness is a good idea, but it's urban areas, I would do some (wild) camping more often.

I have no idea what campsites cost in the US per night, but if you do that every other night, or even once in 3 nights, it beats sleeping in a car park, and is cheaper than a hotel.

Have a look at some of the national parks, some of them have basic (cheap) camp grounds too. Campgrounds are really cool places to meet people, much better than a Walmart car park ;)

Shopping list:

Solar shower

Water carrier

Folding spade

Hammock

Cookware

Camping canister stoves are cheap, between $10 and $50
Cheap tent is around $50

Total expenses before hand, around $150-200 max.

I just went for the first items I found on amazon, there are probably cheaper or better products out there.

Source, I did a 6 month trip by bicycle through Europe, so not the same, but the basics are the same. You have the advantage of not being restricted by weight or size of items, which makes it cheaper.

If you need more ideas, packing tips or anything else, I'll gladly help ;)

Have fun, explore and enjoy, it's fun!

That one is not too expensive.

All jokes aside mining can be profitable but was not designed to turn a profit.

You can make some money but never expect to make money.

Then here.
