Actually I think fiskars stuff are sold uner the gerber-name in the US.

Fiskars owns Gerber.

That shovel is what our troops are using. Made in USA too.

The gerber/fiskars shovel looks nice, but I like the simplicity of the CS and the enhanced chopping ability. On ice, it is key.

Basically I took some strips of wood and used brass screws to fasten them to the left storage panel area. The second one shows the back of the panel. I have some concern about security in a roll over, but not so much as to stop me.

Why do this? I had the shovel underneath in the rear storage area, but with gear in luggage, etc in the car, I had to remove said luggage to access the shovel. If I need the shovel, I probably don't want to set my stuff on the ground (snow/mud).

You wanted the real reason? I'm dork and it looks awesome.
