I have found out that if you go camping you really want to have a shovel. The problem is that most shovels are too long and cumbersome to carry. That is why I didn't have one the last time I went camping in the Black Kettle Wildlife Viewing area. 

The camping shovel I ended up grabbing opened my eyes to the possibilities of a shovel. It wasn't that expensive. actually, the cost was low enough for me to think it was going to be pretty cheap in the build. Saw it was made in China and that just doubled my worry. 

Well, the shovel I got was the Ozark Trail Folding Shovel, and wow. Great shovel to have in your camping kit. There is so much about this shovel that surprises me. 

The build is solid yeah there are rivets holding the head on but they are solid and I haven't been able to loosen them in the short amount of time I have been abusing the shovel

There are 4 weak areas I would watch for wear. 2 are easily fixed with a nut and bolt. While the third is the spring that in inside the shaft that could wear out. Then the rivets that will always be a weak spot. Once they start to wear it is It will be a downhill slide.

Pros
Sturdy
versatile


Cons
those darn rivets 

All in all this shovel is amazing for the price you can snag it at Walmart for $10 or you can go through my affiliate link at Amazon and it will cost $20
