Brooks-Range Compact Shovel

The Compact Shovel from Brooks-Range is your lightweight, durable device that you want to have around, but hope to never use. The aluminum blade is lightweight, and the handle slots deeply into the blade for increased durability. Slots in the blade allow it to be carried easily, or, in a pinch, to be used as an emergency anchor or sled. The t-grip handle is easy to manipulate with mittens or gloves, so you never have to get your fingers cold when you're building booters or snow pits.
