Shovels & Covers

Multi-purpose, dependable, and reliable, an army shovel is one tool to always keep with you on the trails. Use them to dig holes when you need them most, as a saw to cut through the brush, or even as an ax to pick through icy terrain – they’re built for it. Our survival shovels are available in a variety of sizes and designs and can be folded to pack up and go at any time.

Genuine US Military GI shovels and covers are made in the USA and are made to handle the toughest terrain. Heavy-duty e-tools can be used as four different tools in one, including an axe, saw, mattox or shovel, so you can be ready in any situation. Easily collapse from 24” fully extended down to 9” folded in three for efficient storage. Smaller tri-fold shovels complete with serrated edges and a tough nylon carrying pouch provides a lighter duty option for your outdoor excursions. For durable protection and easy transport in the outdoors, military carriers and pouches for entrenching tools and shovels are available in multiple sizes and colors including od green, woodland camo, 3 color desert, and ACU digital camo.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a survival shovel do?

Some of the uses of these tools include digging a fire pit, moving embers around a campfire, leveling the ground to pitch a tent, being used as an ice pick, helping free a vehicle during off-roading incidents, and more.

 

Should I bring an army shovel camping?

It’s always a good idea to be prepared! With many uses, from digging fire pits to breaking through branches, you’ll be glad you brought one with you. You don’t even need to worry about bag space because military folding shovels collapse down for easier carrying.

 

What should I look for when buying a shovel?

It varies! However, two important things to always look out for are the size (so it will fit in your bag) and that it’s made of a durable material like powder-coated carbon steel to ensure it’ll withstand any tough outdoor elements.

 

Are army shovels only for the military?

No! Any outdoor enthusiast can use these shovels, whether you’re going camping or heading on an off-road adventure.
