Wolf’s Gear Review: The Coleman Folding Shovel/Pick

Another of my recent acquisitions is a little folding Coleman Shovel and Pick.
I keep in my truck and it’s small overall size and ability to be easy assembled and disassembled means that it takes up practacilly no room whatsoever.

As you can see this is a nice compact little unit that unscrews and folds up into a handy carry pouch.

It’s small size also makes it suitable for most survival situations and you could easily throw one in your Bug Out Bag without having to worry about it taking up a large amount of room or weighing you down.  

 

The positive locking collar firmly holds the blade in either the shovel or pick configuration.

 The shovel itself is made from tempered forged steel so it is meant to have long life and be durable enough to handle a reasonable amount of abuse (don’t push it though).

Shovel configuration

 

Pick Configuration

 Basic Stats:

•Small carrying pouch with belt loop included
•Can be used as a pick, shovel
•Positive locking collar which hold the blade firmly in configuration
•Open length 58 cm (23″) , folded length 25 cm (10″)
•Breaks down easily to a 10″-long compact kit

All and all I think the Coleman Camping Shovel/Pick is of very good quality.
I find the compact belt size package to be quite useful especilly if you want to strap it to your Bug Out Bag, belt, webbing, etc.
If you want a small camping/hiking/Bug Out Bag shovel then this is a great package, but it you are looking for something to dig trenches with then look elsewhere.
