storage handle worthless

By Backcountry.com Employee September 8, 2010

When I first opened the package just to check it out, brand new, I found the storage compartment to be worthless. I thought maybe I was crazy and wasn't suppose to remove that end cap and had to double check the packaging to make sure it was listed as a feature. I eventually got it open, but it was near impossible and is WAY too much trouble to bother using it for any storage, especially TP. The buttons to collapse the shovel are a little easier, but could still be improved. Overall, it still works as a shovel, but I hope they upgrade and smooth out the kinks in the next version. And call me girly if you want to, but if you're going to bother offering a product in multiple colors, it would be nice to choose your own color when purchasing on the web.

I agree with all of your comments, and there's nothing wrong with being girly! I purchased mine locally, so color selection wasn't an issue. The storage compartment cap is a joke, so I rarely open it - I store an emergency fire starting kit in it.
