Desert Survival Hygiene! SOG Folding Shovel Review!

[@alexwilliamson8225]

Extra tip: If you bend the shovel head at 90 degrees and place the handle in the dirt alongside your latrine, you have a comfortable place to sit one cheek (on the backside of the shovel head).

[@earljames453]

THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE, MAN YOU DO A GREAT JOB, PACING ON YOUR KNOWLEDGE IN AN UNDERSTANDABLE WAY.

[@mikem7571]

James, when it comes to reviewing products for bushcraft and survival and demonstrating applicable usage IMHO you're one of the best. I've always liked how no matter what the product is you seem to be able to adopt and adapt it to your natural surroundings. Your choices of background music draw us in sustaining our attention. Well done, brother.

[@DunkyThicc]

Respect, Born and raised in El Paso area. Seeing the desert behind you brings me home.

[@JunkyardFox]

I appreciate that, be sure to check out our other videos, a lot of el paso desert scenery

[@deckard313]

I agree with Malcolm...your music choice always fits your Southwest area of operations.I'm liking it....

[@JunkyardFox]

thank ye very much, i love to give it a western movie feel to my videos.

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Hey James! Nice review, cool relaxing tunes, learned how to find soap n the desert... another great video! Keep em comin!

[@JunkyardFox]

im glad ye liked it!

[@elliemae72687]

My grandfather had one of these from his army days back in 1942. We still have it unless my brother lost it! It go a lot of use throughput the years and was kept in the trunk of the car... 🙂

[@JunkyardFox]

oh nice, historical artifact. thats awesome

[@charlesloveday9208]

Great review James! Really like the way U put a tool through it's paces. Also..the soap was a good tip that I've used on other tools just not a shovel. Look forward to more survival videos. Keep up the great work.

[@JunkyardFox]

im glad ye enjoyed the video, thanks for the support!

[@megaronknives3032]

Clearly the best review on the Sog Entrenching Tool. Thank you!

[@KnifeRev]

Nice video. Always enjoy watching the landscape you live in, so different than where I am, I find it interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@JunkyardFox]

thanks for watching, i appreciate the support!

[@PaleoHikerMD]

Love the video man! Great display of the capabilities of the folding saw. That soap from the Yucca was sweet!

[@JunkyardFox]

glad ye liked it my friend!

[@axerxes3981]

James.... the ancient US Army Entrenching tool of Vietnam and WWII fame, is in my opinion, a far superion tool. However it's heavier than the SOG but stronger built. If you are driving and need a shovel for getting stuck, take a regular size "D" handle shovel. Weight is not a problem in a vehicle and the larger tools are far more practical. Nice video.... thanks for sharing. Ax

[@JunkyardFox]

im gonna get one of those for my truck kit

[@jscarpa2002]

That soap idea is cool!

[@Travonous1]

Good ol' fashioned fox hole/ leg hole trap. Spike pit. trap door snare; rope pulls downward in to hole. Thanks for the useful review and great video.

[@JunkyardFox]

thanks for watching!

[@IrishZombieNation]

Great review brother. Love the soap tip.

[@JunkyardFox]

glad ye liked it, my friend!

[@HobieonYouTube]

Never saw a Dakota fire hole before. Very cool! Thanks.

[@JunkyardFox]

glad i can teach ye a few tricks!

[@BlackRifleSurvival]

Alright now I have to hunt down some yucca in the desert next time I head out to my other house in Anza borrego deserts. It's been killer with the heat so I've stayed at the mountains for the time being but I miss the sand, it's my other home away from home :) great review on that SOG shovel and awesome job on the Dakota/latrine and root hygiene. Your vids always are full of information and are fun to watch

[@pmoyeriii]

Thank you for the yucca root soap knowledge. Very good to know!

[@mikerubalcava519]

Great video very informative, the gang always wondered when someone was going to cover the where to poop issue !

[@JunkyardFox]

lol its an awkward thing to talk about lol

[@danofiremano]

A Dakota Fire Hole is very cool and from experience can be a bit more difficult to build in sand. Great job and great tunes from the Black Crow! BTW, you could always file a 90 degree onto the side opposite the serrations.

[@JunkyardFox]

yes its very tricky with sand but once it starts burning ,the fire hardens the tunnel. im glad ye enjoyed the video!

[@Johann-4354]

Got a different style shovel but they are amazingly versatile. Can even use it as a frying pan, removing the paint, or a weapon.

[@johnnyrocketblues77]

Excellent video

[@Eurotrash4367]

Your reviews are excellent.

[@theenderboss5951]

Me gusta tu vídeo caballero. Sigue adelante!!

[@JunkyardFox]

muchas gracias!

[@seekingtruth8612]

This guy makes amazing content...

[@dreahazel1455]

Hey there! I just discovered your videos and I think they are pretty great and I really enjoy them!! Keep up the good work!:D

[@JunkyardFox]

thank ye very much, im glad ye enjoy my content!

[@garland978]

Very challenging to make a sturdy dakota fire hole in that sandy soil. Would collapse very easily. Good latrine hole. Thanks James.

[@JunkyardFox]

ye just gotta be patient and careful. once its lit, the heat will harden the walls a bit.

[@tymesho]

the Dakota was way cool, thought I saw them all. tough in sand but in reg. soil I can see how good it would work. thanks for the lesson!

[@JunkyardFox]

making one in the sand is tricky becuase it can collapse if youre not careful. glad ye enjoyed the video!

[@silvercommander]

Best vid of this shovel I've seen

[@jasontindell6734]

God Bless everyone!!!! Jesus Loves you all very much!!!!

[@2knivesguzman400]

nice, great review

[@JunkyardFox]

glad ye enjoyed it!

[@rolandpahl9053]

Pretty cool❤

[@ricardoalvarez4039]

men no wonder your locations seem familiar to me , i am from el paso we should have an outdoor adventure one day! nice work you do

[@JunkyardFox]

thanks brotha! glad ye found my channel. feel free to add me on facebook too, james harris.

[@fuenstock]

How would you compare to a military surplus folding shovel? I've used my surplus shovel as a small fry pan with good results. I just clean and treat my shovel head like you woulda cast iron pan. Like you, I keep one in my truck and wife's car at all times. Has helped us when getting stuck in the mud or snow.

[@JunkyardFox]

this is the very first folding shovel ive ever tested so im not sure how those two compare yet. defintely has a place in survival.

[@hectorbeltran8822]

👍🏻 from a fellow el pasoan

[@JunkyardFox]

cheers, brotha!

[@FrankDLong]

Very interesting.

[@gregwright392]

Another good video.

[@JunkyardFox]

thank ye very much!

[@davidwiniger3799]

Lol...what doesn’t work in sand? In this case I would use my Red Solo cup or my kids plastic beach shovel...but I do love the video...well done.

[@eliandrews4065]

I love your videos

[@wpsaints]

Great vid bro

[@JunkyardFox]

thansk for watching!

[@deckard313]

Oh nice review....

[@paradyne1T101]

4:48 ..You have to sharpen the edge of the shovel then it will work with a ferro rod

[@abrahamgalicia5257]

Que buen vídeo brother saludos y acá tienes un nuevo subscriptor 👍

[@charlesloveday9208]

Coat Ur metal tools with the soap. Makes it easier to dig & prevents rusting. James..what does this soap smell like?

[@JunkyardFox]

ill try that out next time, thanks for watching!

[@jscarpa2002]

Jose Cuervo music!

[@cjesbensen997]

The only problem I had with mine is that the washer on the lock bent

[@MrHappy4870]

That's the same design as the standard US military issue entrenching tool, except SOG's is smaller.

[@JunkyardFox]

hmm, didnt know that, thanks.

[@CHICOTRAVIESOO]

Thanks. Good tool. I Want one. Send me one, please. Nice video.

[@steveo13757]

Good job man!

[@bibigreen6533]

Literally used this shovel for the 1st time, brand new, yesterday. It broke the second time I had to use it, which is a shame because I love the design. The screwing part is fucked.

[@JunkyardFox]

really? damn, i used this one for 3 weeks before filming. be sure to contact SOG for the warranty, somthing mightve been defective in the factory.

[@TennesseeAdventures]

These have a lifetime warranty. Mine broke after a month's use and I contacted SOG and I returned it to them and paid for the shipping but they sent me back a brand new one.

[@crabtrap]

i bet you could kill a Chupacobra with that

[@kylehuang2361]

At least a Dakota fire pit is possible in the sand. In the hill country it is not possible because there are too many rocks in the soil.
