@BeaglzRok1 Год назад

This is why my adventurers actually bring shovels with them. Weaponry and armor are always #1 with rope being a close second, but getting a good shovelhead, especially an iron one instead of wood, can do a lot when there isn't some sort of mage that just goes, "Tiggledy-mole, I conjure a hole!" and makes you feel like an idiot for daring to be prepared. Arguably more important than the tool you use to dig, however, is the number of people you have working. If you have a company of even 100 people, with their hands, that's a lot more dirt getting moved than two guys with shovels, let alone swords. Of course, clearly you guys just need to work out more. Everyone knows that once you get strong enough, you can just cut downwards and make a fissure that splits the ground a good two feet across.

@wolokowoh0 Год назад

@@harleyleedavidson8751 Depends on how sharpened. If you find the right balance you have a knock down weapon and and an axe you thrust straight down. Even a very blunt shovel can decapitate 3-6 foot rattle snakes quite easily. Make it straight and then move it side to side while pushing down hard and it crushes. Make it thinner or more angular and it will cut more effectively and thrust more effeiciently. Because of the scooping angle on the sides edge alignment will shit so leave that blunted.

I reckon if you have to dig a trench, and have the man power, process a tree down (if available), and make some simple shovels. Surely, it would make better use of the time, make digging faster, and have lumber for making fires, and whatever else could be crafted. Digging with swords, in my opinion would only ever happen under the most dire of circumstances and lack of natural resources.

Gives new meaning to the phrase: "Beating swords into ploughshares." I'm actually surprised how few rocks were in that ground. Near me, all the holes I ever dig have giant rocks within a few feet, though I live more in a mountainous region. The claymore probably acts mostly like a digging bar, which is just a long spikey pole to loosen and pry, whereas the machete / falchion being wider is the closest thing to an actual shovel but you can't really dig much as there's not a lot of surface area to hold dirt. It's almost like shovels were designed the way they are for a reason.

The question is "Why do i not spend more time in holes?". There were a pair a twins i went to elementary school with who only dug holes at recess. They'd dig em all recess long and then fill em back in before the whistle was blown. We called them "the digger brothers". They brought in real shovels and picks and everything. they smuggled em in at night and then buried them. It's possible they didn't always fill them in either. Some of them i think they actually braced and made tunnels out of, and then pretended to fill back in but nobody could prove that. Anyway, my point was that sometimes you can have all the fun in the world, just digging a hole...not me, it's hot and sweaty work and i'm 31 now. I'm too old to be doing that for a hobby.
