Great review, i considered getting one of many of these long handle survival shovels and most of them fail, if i ever end up in a survival situation i want to survive, i settled on the folding military steel one which i can see will outlast me, only disadvantage is it's short.

It honestly didn't look that bad. Of course the broke flint is pretty crappy, but it could still be a useful tool. I mean I wouldn't expect it to cut down a tree more efficiently than an axe. Its benefits are being easy to carry and have multiple uses. I think it accomplished that. Is it worth 240$ probably not. You could get an axe, flint and steel, portable shovel, pocket knife for under 240$. Good honest review video though

@@theTeflonDon1 There are much better tactical shovels out there that cost a fraction of what the Zune lineup does... the one I got from Iunio has interlocking HANDLES, not just locking mechanisms on the shovel head, someone else did a review of it here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/oqymqZOop3qVeWk... granted I will say the BAG that Zune usually ships with the shovel (the one with the velcro on the flap AND the zippers) is the best part, and thankfully you can purchase that separately

I beat the hell out of mine and have loaned it to students during classes for them to mess around with it. It’s held up well since I’ve gotten it. Of course it’ll never replace the tools it tries to mimic. Overall it does a damn fine job. Definitely worth the price considering you can beat on this thing without worry that it’ll fail on you.

This is for backpackers, its ultra light and ultra compact i would rather have this than an axe and shovel and saw strapped to me weighting over 20lbs. Yes it seems to have some weak points but it does as advertised, things like the lighting rod i dont care for i always have spare lighters because fire is important. When youre camping you have all the time to chop down a small dead tree. I found the same one for $50 and its very ideal.

I didn’t think it would beat my normal pack of tools I carry when out in the wild gransfors hatchet, silky saw, a quality knife (I use a hand made knife from Arno Bernard), bic lighter, and cheap us army entrenching tool, and a leatherman. Not as light and none of it screws together but all of em do what they need to flawlessly and there’s some interchangeability if one of them ever fails.

That is an excellent shovel. When cutting down small trees when you shouldn’t there is plenty of wood around the woods is about proper technique. Sometimes you accidentally did a proper technique. I wish I had a shovel like that when out in the woods when I was younger. Now I will get it to go hunting and yes I will make a proper video with actual survival usage. There are tribes that make axes with thin stone and when hit wrong they break. Yeah the price is too high this is why I got the cheap Chinese knock off

I actually own this shovel. Your right, it’s totally not worth $200+ but it’s a shovel not an Axe. An Axe is for chopping wood. A shovel is for digging. Of course they have there add-ons for this shovel that makes it look better. It also comes with rope and a mini hand saw. Which I have no idea how to put it in the handle. The Feral rod sucks. Broke after my 4th chop on some roots in my yard. The whistle is loud. The large knife was very sharp when mine arrived. The small knife is actually supposed to be as the striker for the rod. And the tip of the handle comes off and is supposed to screw on the head of your shovel for add weight when you chop, which it does add a little more weight. I don’t like how the head of the shovel doesn’t fold all the way flat. Over all it’s nice. Not worth $200+.
