Keeping with the winter theme of my most recent posts, what is a good shovel to backpack in the winter? I'm thinking the uses would be ground clearing for fires and shelter, and/or for building an igloo type shelter. I currently have an excellent entrenching tool (I forget the manufacturer) with a root saw in the handle, but it is too heavy for serious backpacking.
