Sahara Sailor Emergency Survival Shovel

Mikey Himself: I cannot tell you how many of the folding GI issue shovels I have bent in my 20 years in the army. This thing is a tank and has lots of extras that I didn't really know because I only looked at the main pic when I purchased it. The magnesium firestarter, the whistle, the knife and screwdriver were just added extra bits that just make it that much better.

Don't use it as a shovel with the glass breaker on the end, remove that first, it gets pretty pointy in the palm of your hand pretty quick, even with gloves on. The only improvement I would say is add some extra case color options, the camo pattern is kinda wack. And a small velcro pouch for some of the bits and bobs sewn onto the case would be nice.

ralph: I was expecting generic garbage here, and honestly I could see this being double the price (except nobody would buy it, expecting generic garbage -- the sad current state of this store). Packs up neatly, extremely light for all the features it has, and everything was easy to figure out. I wanted it for an emergency kit for the car, so hopefully I never have to use it, but it makes me feel pretty safe.

Schleimhaut: Sehr robust, dafür nicht ganz leicht. Ich würde ihn sofort wieder kaufen.

Q: Surprisingly this shovel came sharp. All of the attachments were there, which I am thankful for. I have not had the chance to use every tool attachment but I am glad to have them. The carry bag keeps everything organized and appears to be sufficient in its durability.

Michael JensenMichael Jensen: I needed a smal shovel for "what if" situtations... my buddy got his OHV stuck and a shovel would have been really helpful. I shopped around some and I'm really glad I chose this one, it's much more versatile and has more features than I expected. I am not being compensated for this review, I just really like this shovel.
See pics for much more info. (There are a few more features in the last pic that I didn't touch on because I didn't think they were as important to me.)

Hubert S.: Ich habe einen Spaten vorwiegend dafür gesucht um beim Camping Erde oder Schlamm beim Reifen des Wohnwagens oder Autos zu entfernen. Damit ich wieder wegfahren kann falls ich festsitze. Bei diesem Spaten waren keine Rezensionen über gebrochene Teile des Spatens zu lesen daher hoffte ich auf stabile Ausführung und bestellt ihn.
Was ich beim Kauf leider nicht beachtet hatte ist das die scharfen Kanten und Sägezacken am Spatenblatt sehr leicht den Reifen beschädigen könnten. Daher habe ich diesen Spaten wieder retourniert und dafür einen Spaten ohne solche scharfen Kanten gekauft.

Die Qualität dieses Spatens und des Stiels wirkte sehr stabil. Auch die Schraubverbindungen der Erweiterungsteile sind sehr fest - da wackelt nichts und löst sich auch so schnell nichts. Ob die diversen Zubehörteile wirklich benötigt werden muß jeder selbst entscheiden. Einzig das kombinierte Messer/Säge ist vielleicht sinnvoll aber auch nur für leichtere Beanspruchung weil die Klinge kommt mit sehr dünn vor.

Anonym: Da ich oft im Wald unterwegs bin, fand ich diesen Artikel äußerst nützlich. Das Produkt ist wie beschrieben und aus sehr solidem Kohlenstoffstahl gefertigt. Ich würde es auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!

Drew Losure-McDermott: It works very well for what I got it for - which is an emergency shovel for snowstorms to keep in the car, since the little miniature plastic ones that they sell at service stations are too small and fragile, and a large metal garden shovel would take up too much space in the back of the car.

I also do a lot of camping, and I can DEFINITELY see this taking up a lot of the slack currently done by a variety of other tools when i am camping or backpacking. All firewood needs should be taken care of by the axe and saw segments - any situation where a person needs to be straight up splitting enormous logs with a wedge axe for firewood rather than simply gathering and cutting small pieces and using an axe or saw like this to gather dry branches from fallen trees is less "camping" and more "actually living in the woods." The flatness of the axe would make splitting wood more difficult than any axe with a wedge, but if necessary one could make do still.

I was positively surprised by the sharpness on arrival - the axe blade, saw teeth, and knife were all well sharpened. I anticipated needing to sharpen them myself but it seems like that will not be necessary until
i have...
