POD X Survival Folding Shovel | Multi-Tool Camping & Vehicle Recovery Shovel
Only 3 in stock
Pickup currently unavailable
The POD X Survival Folding Shovel is a multi-tool camp and recovery shovel that folds into a trunk-size bag, with a serrated edge and a pick, for digging out a stuck vehicle, clearing a fire pit, trenching a tent, and the jobs a stick will not do.
Most stucks are solved by digging, not pulling
The dramatic recoveries online involve winches. The everyday reality, sand, mud, a snowbank, a soft shoulder, is solved by removing material from around the drive wheels and packing traction under them. A shovel does both, needs no anchor point, and works when you are alone. This is the first recovery tool that belongs in a trunk, ahead of straps. Our vehicle recovery guide walks through the safe method step by step.
At camp
Dig a fire pit and a proper cat hole. Trench around a tent before rain. Use the serrated edge on roots and the pick on packed ground and ice. Level a spot for a stove. Bury the fire. It earns its space every trip.
In the winter kit
Snow is the most common reason a car gets stuck and the most dangerous place to be stuck. A shovel with a pick clears packed snow and ice from around wheels and the exhaust pipe, which matters if you are running the engine for heat. See the winter car kit.

Frequently asked questions
Can it dig out a car?
Yes. A steel head with a locking pivot handles sand, mud, and snow recovery. Dig a gentle ramp in the direction of travel, pack traction under the drive wheels, and ease out.
Does it lock at an angle?
The pivot lets the head lock for use as a hoe, which is the position for pulling snow and mud away from a tire.
What else goes in the trunk with it?
A jump starter, traction boards or mats, a tow strap, LED flares, and gloves.
