The wonder shovel

I recently picked up a cold steel shovel for the whopping price of 19.00 (Before the current austerity program)

The shovel accompanied me on camping trip and I was surprised at how useful this thing really is.

I used it to chop fire wood, as spatula, as a throwing knife, to dig my fire pit, to throw sand on my fire pit and to clear brush away from my campsite.

It comes with a useful sheath that has both belt loops and a tab to run a rope through and to tie it off to your back pack. I woudl imagine that it would make a useful self defense tool as well.

For 19.00, it is well worth the money I highly recommend one for the trunk or the bug out bag.
