Shovel primary use is for 'unstucking' the truck as a first attempt, before I spool out the winch
A long handle makes a big difference when pulling dirt from under the axles and frame. A bit of an angle on the head helps keep the load in the shovel when pulling it out. One that converts to hoe mode can move a lot of loose material quickly.
I think I bookmarked a few interesting and expensive "off-road" shovels. In the truck, I carry a D-handled one with a serrated edge I bought on sale at Lowe's years ago. It does all I need, but I with the handle detached for easier storage.
On a bike, I won't carry more than a titanium poop trowel.
