Shovels

[LDSSILLS]

You know folks there are many post about accessories. Yet I seldom see post about shovels or holders. Fact is for off roading I would not go without one.

Get yourself a shovel holder folks.

What say you??

AEV's spare carrier has a spot for one that works really well. You just have to make sure it's not too long, so you'll have to cut about 5" off of a typical shovel.

For dirt or sand or hiding that pesky forensic evidence

I have a shovel but I'm not going out of my way to put it in a special holder on the Jeep I just carry it with me.

Well that’s great but you didn’t post a pic of where you store it or a pic of the shovel

u carry it and drive at the same time?

Storing it inside was a no-go for me due to how dirty the shovel usually is, plus how valuable interior space is for me.

I've watched enough Forensic files to know that no matter where you bury it, most likely they will still find it.

I had one of those folding one but never needed it, so I gave it away. I guess it does not hurt to bring one if you see the need. Personally, I have had more than 1 occasion where I wish I had a battery powered chainsaw, but never a shovel.

I like the exterior mounts. I dont want to put a muddy shovel in my jeep and the stagnant mud holes in VA stink.

I bring a lot of stuff I hope to never use, or at least not use on a regular basis. Battery powered chainsaw is a good idea.

I’ve been carrying this old Ames 82 around with me for many years….. came in handy a few times until I got to FL. It’s a little less than useless in the sugar sand….you take one scoop out, and two fall in…. …. Just carry it now because social convention dictates that I should…..

Gerber entrenching tool. Folds up small and thus easy to store.

I used to do that, and now I learned how to find out what my friends are bringing in a normal conversation before the trip, and cross out those items from my list lol. They dont blame me because they all trailer their rigs.

Not to change the subject but my most trusted & used tool is my winch. At home and on the trail.

i’ve always thought a shovel sounded like a good idea and carried a folder with me for decades.
in real life, i can count the number of times i’ve needed/used it* on the fingers of 1 hand with multiple fingers to spare.

EDIT: “…for vehicle recovery”
