Stansport Folding Pick & Shovel

Stansport Folding Pick & Shovel

A compact G.I.-style folding shovel and pick built for digging, chopping, prospecting, camping, and those Alaska roadside moments when having an actual tool beats having a good excuse.

Why you need this:

A full-size shovel is great—right up until you have to find room for one in an already packed truck, camper, ATV, or gear pile.

The Stansport Folding Pick & Shovel combines a shovel and pick into one compact tool. Stansport builds it with a powder-coated steel shovel blade and pick, a wood handle, and a steel collar that locks the working end into position. The shovel also incorporates a serrated edge for sawing.

For Alaska, that makes it a handy piece of utility gear for camping, recreational prospecting, off-road trips, and keeping in a vehicle emergency kit.

What's it made with?

Stansport specifies tempered forged steel for the shovel and pick with a hardwood handle. A tempered steel collar locks either the shovel blade or pick into working position, while the Olive Drab finish keeps the whole thing appropriately old-school.

What's this good for?

• Recreational gold prospecting
• Digging gravel and sediment
• Camping
• Off-road and overlanding trips
• ATV and UTV gear
• Vehicle emergency kits
• Clearing around campsites
• Small digging jobs
• Breaking up compacted soil
• General Alaska outdoor utility

How to use?

Unfold the tool you need—the shovel or pick—and secure it into working position with the steel locking collar. Use the shovel for moving dirt, gravel, or loose material and switch to the pick when you need to break into harder or more compacted ground.

The shovel blade also has a serrated edge for light sawing tasks.

As with any folding tool, make sure everything is fully locked before you start swinging, chopping, or digging.

What can we say?

It's one of those tools that doesn't seem particularly exciting until you're 40 miles from somewhere useful and suddenly need a shovel.

Then it's pretty exciting.

Pair it with a gold pan and you've got the beginnings of a simple Alaska prospecting setup. Toss it behind the seat and you've got a compact digging tool that doesn't demand half the cargo area.

Why we love this one:

It's three useful functions in one compact package: shovel, pick, and serrated edge.

We also like the straightforward G.I.-style construction. Steel, hardwood, a mechanical locking collar, and no batteries to forget at home. Sometimes simple really is better.
