The advantages of a sapper shovel, how it can be used on a hike
If you are going to spend a short weekend outside the city, going on a hiking trip to nature, hunting, fishing, it is important to take care of the availability of survival equipment and tools that allow you to arrange life in an unforeseen situation. These include multitools, ropes, cables, saw, knife and, of course,Small shovel. Lifesaver, as they say in the army.
And all because a small infantry shovel is capable of performing many functions. And not just dig. If you sharpen the edges of the canvas, you can cut with a shovel like a knife, and even chop. Since it is lighter than ax, experienced preppers prefer one of its faces leave unsharpened. And when it is necessary to prepare firewood, they stick it with its sharp side into a log or into a stump, and hit it with a heavy object along the back edge.

The shovel has an ergonomic handle. In its production, strong wood was used, presumably birch. All edges are qualitatively turned to avoid the appearance of splinters on the palms.
The blade steel is coated with a layer of black anti-reflective paint, protected from oxidation. It is easy to sharpen. Withstands exposure to high temperatures, so in the field on a shovel, like in a frying pan, you can fry eggs, bread, sausage, you can use it to pull coals out of a fire. When rafting down the river sapper shovel will cope with the role of the oar. Only, so that she does not drown, it is recommended to fix her on her arm with a lanyard.
If you hit a shovel with a metal object, it makes a loud enough sound that allows you to transmit signals. And if you stick the canvas into the ground and press your ear to the handle, you can catch the vibration from the highway, the train. For those lost in the forest, this information can be very useful.
The dimensions of the tool are standard: length 50 cm, width 15 cm. Knowing them, a shovel can be used as a ruler. For example, when creating aCovers for 4 people, it is recommended to measure 2 meters in length, where 50 cm is allocated for each - this is enough distance to sleep cuddled up to each other.
