Gets the Job Done

This is a great shovel and packs nicely. The extendable shaft is a nice feature, and the shovel is light enough that it doesn't add too much weight. I felt it could be bigger, especially when digging snow pits to set up camp, but also wouldn't want to carry something much larger for the day. Need to make sure to pack both parts of the shovel in the same place in your pack in case of emergency (may not have time to fish around for the handle!)

I bought this with one of the BD probes in a package, which made it really affordable.

Highly recommended though this is the first shovel I've ever bought.
