The Rothco 8-in-1 Multi-Tool Survival Shovel lets you pack one compact tool for a backcountry trip or the trunk of your car instead of a pile of separate gear. The knife, sawblade, whistle and fire rod store inside the handle, and the shovel breaks down into three sections that fit a two-piece polyester sheath. Assembled, it reaches 29.5 inches with a 6.25 by 5 inch shovel head that carries a saw edge and rope cutter.

Why it works:

  • Fewer items to pack: Eight tools live in one shovel: a knife, sawblade, whistle, fire rod, window breaker, hex wrench, rope cutter and a hollow handle for dry storage.
  • Essentials stay together: The knife, sawblade, whistle and fire rod are stored in the handle for packing, and the whistle also acts as a handle for the fire rod.
  • Packs down small: The shovel breaks down into three sections, each adding 6 inches, and stores in a two-piece polyester sheath.
  • Ready to ride in the car: A window breaker at the base of the handle makes this tool great for storing in the car.
  • An edge for the long term: The 3CR113 stainless steel shovel attachment has a blade that can be sharpened for long-term use, plus a saw edge and rope cutter.

Who it's built for:

Made for campers and backpackers who want a shovel, knife, saw blade, whistle and fire rod in one tool. Tactical professionals get eight tools that store in a two-piece polyester sheath.
