I have ordered a CS Shovel a couple of times from Lebaron's Outdoor Store in Canada but they are always out-of-stock. It looks like a quality, multi-purpose item, I will buy one some day.

I keep a long handled round mouth shovel in my vehicles and also a full size snow shovel in the winter months. I once tried to punch through a drift in a remote location and ended up with all 4 wheels of the truck off the ground on top of the drift. I called for help (Sat. phone) but it would take 3 hours for it to arrive. So I used the long handled shovel and a large plastic snow scoop to remove the snow under/around the truck. By the time help arrived the tires were back on the road and we just used the tow to ensure that I did not slide off the road onto the adjacent lake.

Winter adventures are about to begin again!
