Voile Rescue Shovel System

The Voile Rescue Shovel is an essential piece of gear for backcountry activities. You should never go into the backcountry without a shovel or a probe. Now you can carry these two safety items together in one piece of equipment. A 2.6 m probe is held in the shaft of this full sized shovel. Easily click off the T-handle for quick access to the probe; it will be there when you need it. Made from strong and lightweight aluminum throughout the Voile Rescue Shovel System is a reliable companion for all of your out of bounds adventures.

Bottom Line: Being safe is cool. You dig?

Yes, It fits perfectly. I use the Mission pack, but the heli pro handle holder is exactly the same.This is one of the lightest full shovel/probe setups around and super easy to use.

Good deal

I was looking to buy a new shovel and also pick up a probe at REI and for the cheaper ones there they would have run me 50-60 bucks a piece. If you're in the market for convenience or just a good deal this is the best option I found.

On the shovel itself it has two holes, one on each side of the shovel. I am wondering what these are for. I could imagine they could be used to fasten the shovel to a backpack, etc. For example, picture the letter U, where U is the shovel. At the top of each side of the U there is a hole. What is this for? Actually, you can see the holes on the picture above.

The holes are for making it a snow anchor, or for making a rescue sled. But if you want you can strap it to your pack.-----------------It can also be used to make an ultra-light shovel sling to carry it without a backpack.

Shovel System

Great engineering of a combo. Shovel head is very stable when attached to handle. Pro is easy and fast to get out. Design makes for effective digging.

Loved this shovel and probe combo. I like the whole design and durability, but wish the shovel had a D handle instead of T. Other than that, bomber.

Does the probe fall out when the handle is not attached to the blade?

The probe only comes out when you want it too. I dig all day with the probe safely secured inside the shovel handle, and when the handle shaft is detached from the shovel blade, the probe is secured in the shaft by a spring clip on one end and the t-handle on the other. In short: the probe only comes out when you remove it via the removal of the T-handle.I've had this setup for 3 years.

Yeah, at 8.5 feet it is a little shorter then average but it will get the job done fine.8.5 feet of snow equates to many tons of snow that will have to be removed in order to find the victim. Any deeper of a burial and the chances are very slim you could even dig them out in time.
