How this hand trowel impacts our prepping efforts
When you invest in high-quality hand tools, they'll last many years instead of a single season. As tools become harder to find, we know we have our quality hand tools that'll keep digging for years to come, and we can sharpen them as needed whenever they dull. We love to garden and to know we can feed ourselves with much of our own homegrown produce. That's an invaluable ability to have when SHTF.
