I've had a chance to try out the SwampWolff, which I think is an improvement
over the shiner scoop. The 80 pound-test bridle on mine broke as well. BG sent
me a replacement bridle with my scoop, but it really needs a heavier bridle. I
saw the cord he used on his prototype, and I think it's much more suitable for
hard use. I plan to upgrade.

To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk
around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say,
"Sorry, got these sacks."
