[pct-l] ULA Iceaxe

[AsABat]

My view is take it if you think you will not need it but want one anyway. If you plan on actually needing an axe take a real one. 

I've talked to people who have used them for practice and they work fine. 

(Disclaimer: Of course I'm talking about digging potty holes in ice.)

This discussion has been discussed at length in the past. Check google.

I couldn't in good conscience recommend something that isn't rated to do  
the job you ask.  That said, I'm sure it's great for digging potty holes.
