The specs indicate that this shovel's packable length is 18 inches. What is the length of each segment if you take the shovel apart completely? I have a pack pocket that will accomodate about 16 inches length and am wondering if I will be fine ordering this shovel as long as I separate the blade from the shaft, or if I need to keep looking.
