I think the mountains are afraid of this shovel....
Haven`t had to use it yet, thank god. I chose this one over other shovels because when the ish hits the fan I want a simple shovel. Pull the hand from the blade and you`re set. No digging in your pack looking for the handle or messing with those little metal buttons or tabs with gloved hands to put your shovel together. Just pull and go, the handle and blade stay together but collapse smaller than other shovels.
