Backcountry Survival Shovel for Camping & Horse Packing – Blue Creek Outfitting

This survival shovel is a versatile tool for backcountry travel, horse packing, and camp work. Lightweight but sturdy, it provides a practical solution for digging fire pits, clearing trails, and handling camp tasks in remote areas.

This is a very sturdy shovel that weighs only about 1 kg, making it light enough to carry while still strong enough for real work in the backcountry.

It comes with a scabbard and a heavy-duty mounting ring that allows it to be carried behind or on the side of the saddle, in a saddle bag, or on top of a pack load.

A compact shovel is a valuable tool for trail maintenance, digging fire pits, drainage work, and general camp use.
