A shovelling method

Short shovel.

A method:

 

Shovelling, squated. Straight back. 

Instant change over to a kneeling position to shovel further, when standing is becoming uncomfortable.

And instant change over again to standing shovelling, squated, straight backed.

-

Standing shovelling, to kneeling shovelling, to standing shovelling, to kneeling shovelling, until done.

Military shovel digging, shovelling

Military shovel digging, shovelling

Shovelling with the right hand on the front
Shovelling with the left hand on the front
-It's possible to change the front hand if needed, this can be usefull, when one arm gets tired.

Standing. Standing very squated. And kneeled.
And then digging deeper from inside the trench or squared hole itself.

And if the ground is to hard it's possible to put one foot on the shovel blade and to then push it into the ground.

-

And it's possible to dig with a broken off shovel blade if needed.
-Normal and it's possible to hold it reverse.
 And with only the left hand or the right hand. Switching when one hand or arm gets tired is possible.

-

And digging with the hands

With a certain mechanism so a handle can be put in or on. Maybe with a thread mechanism, or a clicking mechanism. Or simply with the handle attached and a certain vest.

Extra: Double ballistic plate possibility

Thinking out military shield shovel uses, tactics and more

Thinking out military shield shovel uses, tactics and more.

A couple of ideas:
It can be used to protect the side or front of the head.
It might be useful for peeking around corners or over cover walls, protecting parts of the head.
It could protect the back of the head if it can be strongly, fitted onto the backpack.
-Very useful for retreating etc.
