Both Polaski's and McCloud's are hand
tools quite useful for trail maintenance. They were invented by Forest
Service guys.
A Polaski is a combination of axe and
mattock. Chop trees, and break up the ground.
A McCloud is a ~foot wide hoe with
rake teeth on the other side.
Neither of them are as good at the
jobs as having both standard tools, but it sure is easier to only slep one
tool instead of two a couple of miles up the mountain.
