Video Transcription

there's ever a zombie apocalypse I want this

[Music]

okay people let's take a look at some of the specs of this bad boy first up it has a length of 50 point 8 centimeters it weighs just 2.1 six pounds the pack down link is only 38 centimeters and for those wondering it's made a 420 high carbon steel the heat treatment is HRC 52 52 and the handle is aerospace grade aluminium awesome now we've looked at the technical specifications let's check out some of the features first up is the carry case which is fitted with D rings to attach a shoulder strap or you can use the velcro straps to attach it to your belt be careful though you don't want it putting your trousers down or do you the shovel head is dead easy to adjust simply pull on the spring release catch and Bob's your uncle set the shovel head to the required angle you can set it at 90 degrees to use it as a hoe or continue rotating it to use it as a shovel the head also has a protective case up which is secured by two velcro straps now here's the cool part people remember that handle you just removed well it's got a couple of awesome features that just might help you in a survival situation first up there is a loop of seven strand paracord on the back of the handle this can either be used as a hand loop or you could use the cordage in a survival situation and now for the fun part

remove the plastic blade protector at the other end of the handle to reveal yourself a wicked blade a mini saw and the best part a bottle opener so which of these is the most important I hear you ask well the bottle opener of course because when that zombie apocalypse comes you're going to want to pop open that cold bottle of beer and wait for it all to blow over but Mike what about the blade is it sharp well let's do the hair test don't try this at home kitties des hommes that's one hairy Hobbit yep sharp all right now I could use that hairy tinder to start a fire but I'm not going to do that here's another cool feature unscrew the cap on the back of the handle and you have yourself a fire spiel but wait unscrew the fire steel and you got yourself a whistle if they're anything this shovel doesn't have so everything has its place and it all fits together nicely oh yeah I forgot to mention on the shovel blade itself there are also measuring increments and I believe these orange centimetres this is serious about shovels five joy also have extendable handle sections to give the shovel a length of up to 86 centimeters which is around about 34 inches boom the aluminium handle has foam sections on it for a comfortable ergonomic grip great for those long days when you need to dig yourself a bomb shelter that's all very well knowing the specs and talking at all but let's put it to the test okay first up is the knife blade here I am making some feather sticks the blade coach well and it produces the thin curls of wood that I need to get a fire going so what about the fire steel you can use the blade edge on a knife to strike sparks from it but in the long run this is going to damage your blade near the base of the blade is an area that has a nice 90-degree spine this is perfect for striking sparks from the fire steel and it protects your knife blows place said fire steel against the curls and strike down voila man have fire you can also use the blade edge on a piece of silver birch bark which has natural oils that are flammable create a dust pile and strike those fiery sparks into your tinder man meet fire come on Mike we want to see the saw blade although small it cuts with relative ease on small steps however on larger logs the Blakely's gets tough on occasions but it can form a task that I needed Whipple's fits well and creates wooden stakes in a matter of seconds now you can sleep well knowing that the vampires can't get you use that high-carbon Shovelhead

to bash states into the ground with ease upon further inspection you will find that one side of the shovel head is sharp

this is because it can be used as an axe that's right this shovel is also an axe or as I like to call it ash axe upon testing

I felt it cut medium sized logs well enough for me to have a long-term fire and cook some food on be wary of the blade edge kicking out to the side when chopping wood with it though alright Mike alright so we understand this shovel is just about everything but is the big question we've all been waiting for

can it dig a hole yes fear not my fellow YouTube friends I can safely say that this shovel digs like there is no tomorrow

in fact I reckon if I carried on digging for another half an hour I estimate that I would be soft way to Australia g'day mate well let me tell you this guys if there's any zombies out there I've got it covered

on a serious note this is a very very good shovel and I'd like to thank five joy for sponsoring the video and supplying me with this pretty cool tool I'm impressed with the build quality if you guys are interested in finding out a little bit more about this shovel I'll pop a few links in the video description for you if like me you enjoy building bushcraft camps and forts out in the woods and you need tools you need good quality tools this is certainly something to consider you may have noticed on here my bushcraft camp done a whole series on building this camp and cooking loads of things different fish and everything here so please check that out and my bushcraft playlist if you want to know how to just enjoy yourselves out in woods thank you so much for watching I appreciate it and I'll see you soon in another video on ta outdoors let's go kill some zombies [Music]
