     Nice to see Bill has trees where he "goes".  Fine idea however
     bringing one's own rocks or trees is a bit much.

     Tri-fold.  That's the answer.  It's a shovel pioneered by your
     government for digging stuff.  Like mines, catholes, slit trenches,
     and so on.  They're way cheap ~15$US for a real "Ames US" 1970 model
     comes with plastic case and folds up under 9x9x2 and stows easily most
     anywhere.

     If you don't have singapore feet, you can use the tri to dig the
     scatological materials repository, use the tri to turn your bipodal
     self into a temporary tripod, pinch the loaf, and then use the tri to
     suitably interr the remains.  You can use it to threaten various
     crawly rascals should they intrude on your privacy BUT not during the
     act as you will revert to an unstable bipodal mechanism in very
     compromising circumstances.

     Caution: this won't work on solid rock and must be used with caution
     in cactus environments lest one get hooked on it.

     Tri it .
