Black Diamond Deploy 3 Shovel
Good light shovel for packing in the back country

The shovel is solid. It is light. It packs down tight - fit into my pack with no trouble at all. In fact, my pack was a bit full, but I was able to slip the shovel along the inside edge around some other stuff.
The one drawback to the shovel is it's length. It is short and you have to bend over when you use it. BUT - the only way to fix this is to buy a bigger shovel which would be heavier and not fit as well inside the pack.
