 ###I have used this shovel on about 10 overnight trips. I have used it in temperatures as low as 0 F (-17 C). I have used it in thick forested regions and I have used it at treeline. I have also used it on day hikes along with multi-day backpacking trips. Since I've owned the shovel, I carry it on all trips where I will encounter snow, even on day hikes. I have used the shovel to dig down to about waist-level. I have used the shovel in shallow and deep snow. I have carried it in my pack both in a collapsed state and in a fully dis-assembled state in its three pieces.
