Thoughts on Snow Shovels for Winter Camping & Winter Backpacking Trips.
Items Seen / Discussed in this Video
- Collapsible Metal Snow Shovel
- SnowClaw Backcountry Shovel
- Black Diamond Raven Ice Axe
- Camping snow shovel that Stephen was looking at vs the Snowclaw.
I’m not sure if they make the actual Camp brand snow shovel seen in this video anymore. That’s why I linked the other brand above which looks similar and appears to have solid reviews. But I did find a new plastic version by Camp that weighs in at only 9 oz. I’m sure it’s not nearly as resilient though, as the blade is made of polypropylene, as opposed to a coated aluminum.
I was watching your Winter Hammock Camping in the Adirondacks and wondering what that device was that you used as a tracker so that you could click on it to alert someone that you were ok, and they would know where to find you? Without watching the whole thing again, I can’t find by scanning thru the video the part where you showed that device. I appreciate any info you can provide and I look forward to watching more videos.

Hi Randy,
That was my Spot Tracker Gen3 that I still use to this day. Here’s a previous talk I did on it: http://www.sintax77.com/sinchats-spot-gen3-gps-tracker-reliability-thoughts/
