*** Schrade SCHSH1 Folding Shovel Extreme Silly Testing

[@deputyprepper4931]

very impressed with this shovel. I realy like the way Schrade is coming up with good quality products. So many companies are on the "survival" band wagon and making garbage. thanks for posting and have a great day

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Deputy Prepper Thanks for watching!

[@shotokido678]

Okay Bryan, the one-shovel fire was impressive, but I laughed out loud when you threw that sucker. I guess I should have expected it, but you got me this time. Thanks man!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Threw it? That's preposterous. You know that would not be a smart thing to do. You should never throw shovels.

[@shotokido678]

Survival On Purpose Did I say "threw?" I meant "tested the balance of."

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Shoto Kido ;-)

[@MMCUSN]

I have a Coleman fold up which has proven itself enough to hang on to. I did put an edge on three sides to help get thru small roots and what not. I was looking for another packable shovel (one is none, two is one) and I think this will do nicely. Thanks for your review. GOD Bless.

[@louishuelsman6698]

The Rambling Man!!!! Glad to have subscribed a few years ago. Always fun and informing reviews on stuff I could Afford.

[@newenglandfish1652]

Yep, it passed the test. Your able to do everything a shovel was designed to do. Battening wood, chopping, feather sticks, 90 degree edge so you can strike a fire steel and even balanced. You know, just in case if it ever slipped out of your hands........But It does feels like I am forgetting something????...........Oh wait I got it, it can even dig a hole.....great vid Bryan looks like it will be a decent tool.....as always thanks for sharing....Steve.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

NewEnglandFish Hah ! Thanks Steve.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Brian, Yeah that's a great idea, I have a E-Tool from 1942, But it's heavy. So I was at a discount grocery/pharmacy that sell closeout products, I bought my Haversacks I put together that are working out fantastic even the camo makes them fit the role. I also found some grills that work great for over a campfire, All I did was make some stakes with stainless rods, Works great and it was cheap, But great quality, But I also got some gardening supply one winter, Yeah a Black and Decker Garden Shovel, It's not telescopic, But the compact size and lite to attach to my backpack or to carry in hand which also is a mean self defense, But it's used alot in Cao, More than one would think, I also bought some hand trolls ?, that hand garden shovel. But that Black and Decker is good quality and going string this season too, I've had it a while now and for as lite as it is it held up great and you can see there's more mile's left in it. That's a tool that few guys think to bring, But when I bring it all want to use it for personal things, Thanx for sharing. By the way, How's that LMF coming along.

[@paulie4x1]

Yes LMF in 12c27, You said you can get me one ? I'm pretty sure I talked to you.

[@desertratedc9596]

was looking at this thing as a possible alternative for the etool and you have one of the only good reviews... thank you for the review and i think i am sold on this schrade shovel now

[@biologicalleh7850]

The main reason why i enjoy watching your videos so much is the fact that you answer peoples questions in the comments, i love schrade saturday :P PS i also find the videos very enjoyable

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

etni3s1 Thanks. I do my best and will continue as long as I can.

[@derecklockwood8633]

Great review! That shovel would come in handy for me. It would fit in my wheelchair bag and when I get stuck in my yard my caregiver could use that without causing any damage to my wheelchair. I would love that and I am sure he would as well to make his job easier. I can also think of a good amount of "chores" I want done in my yard this next summer that a regular spade shovel would do it, but it'd be more difficult than this Schrade shovel. I can't use my arms or legs so I am just thinking for others helping me out it would be awesome. Definitely would be great to win and add it to my Schrade display/collection unless I was in my wheelchair, then it would not be on the display obviously. A great product. I will share this, thanks for the review and I give away and the partnering with Schrade for this. Good luck on the future with reviews and just having fun outside

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Dereck Lockwood Thanks Dereck.

[@derecklockwood8633]

No problem!

[@kennywheelus6857]

Hi Brian, good review, I love this shovel,best folding shovel on the market by far,it's neck to neck with the cold Steel spatz,shovel,only theirs doesn't fold,you can throw theirs but wouldn't recommend throwing this one due to the hinge,other than that, great,it's first saw Kullcraven test this an he loves it.

[@sassurvivalman]

Good video. That shovel can do everything. Good item to have while camping out n hiking trips. I want one.

[@baitammo4652]

Thanks for showing all the "silly testing" on that baby!! If you only dug a hole with a small root or two we could not have known the true capabilities and toughness of the shovel. Fine video!!! I will put it on my Christmas list for sure. To tell you the truth thou, Santa may have to come early this year! Thanks for a GREAT video test!!! Brian

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Sometimes silly is good. Or at least fun.

[@ryanlee2754]

I always wanted to have a portable shovel but the ones in the market, never really liked them... but now that Schrade has one it's a nobrainer to me.. thanks for the detailed review (as always) !

[@JediJunkie247]

Nice to see Schrade branching out with more tools. Looks good.

[@ted9654]

Love it. I've never had or used a compact folding shovel, never figured they were worth a hoot, but I may have been wrong. You seemed to put it through its paces and it came up strong, good job.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Ted I think it's pretty tough.

[@HickSquatch]

"...starting to feel like Chris..." LMAO!!! We watch the same guy.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

I'm sold, been looking for a lighter more versatile alternative to my mil issue e-tool. Great review, subbed!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks. It is a great shovel in my humble opinion.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Thanks, appreciate the details and close ups.

[@dwightehowell6062]

Picked up a similar tool many yrs ago made by ? It works okay and has come in handy a few time. Keep it in the trunk. The "shovel" blade on it is actually more like a mattock. You can still shovel with it. Wroth having one around.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Dwight E Howell I have to say my initial impression of this one is very good. I'll bang it around a while and do a follow up one day.

[@nigelobrien7933]

great review of a nice new product from schrade. It is a little disheartening that we/I cannot readily purchase schrade products in Ireland. But really enjoy watching your reviews and your channel.

[@TheSonoranDesertGrower]

I like how you totally chopped with it. Truly epic. I just need to dig through rocky soil sometimes when wildcrafting roots for medicine making. This tiny thing looks like the one.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

You'll like it

[@Countryprepper]

I'd think they would use stainless instead of carbon steel for a shovel. Once that coating is gone, its going to rust. Not too many people would think to clean and oil a shovel. Just my .02 Great video though Bryan! Definitely a one of kind video!.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Not sure how they chose the steel but we'll see how it holds up.

[@tnjrcfl1]

Survival On Purpose the stainless wasn't holding up to test. I killed a couple prototype models and advised some changes, looks like they did well with the production model. Stay safe. TNJR

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

tnjrcfl1 Well there you go. I didn't think they just flipped a coin. Thanks for the info.

[@Smedley60]

What a review. Even a throw! Looks like a good shovel.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Randy Chadwick I really dig it. Sorry ;-)

[@bizz65]

This is awesome,love the all around versitility!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Deb Leenhouts Thanks Deb.

[@VelociTee13]

Really like all your survival videos. very descriptive and helpful :) subbed

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Terry Chuong Thanks Terry. I appreciate it.

[@michaeld8975]

Looks to be better than military issue. I don't plan on digging no more holes but I m planning on getting this tool just in case. Never went to Raccoon Mtn but I did go to Cumberland an camped over night in there. Ruby Falls and Cathedral where right up there too. Civil War Battlefield excursions were high on the list too. All these things makes a big impression on younger bushcrafters.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Mooky Mann I've camped in Cumberland Cavern, both as a kid and with mu oldest son's scout troop. They're both cool. And yes, those are the things you remember all your life.

[@richardweilandt3315]

I am impressed by this shovel. I was wondering when you were going to switch back to short c stroking the stationary ferro rod. Seems to me the method of pulling the rod is not as effective as keeping the rod stationary

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

Well that was worth waiting an extra day. That looks like a genuinely useful tool! Thanks Bryan!

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

Bryan, just in case you didn't see my update, I changed my channel name from Michael Travis. Same channel, different name.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors Cool. I like it Michael.

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

Thanks Bryan.

[@bigjoe7594]

This shovel looks awesome! The sharpened edge was a nice touch!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Tyger shark Yes it was.

[@EattinThurs61]

I got an WW2 US Army surplus spade, it had an edge on it when I bought it! A bit heavy pethaps but excellent in the garden and a surprise for any burglar that enters my house.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

EattinThurs61 Yeah, how are they going to explain a shovel wound to their buddies?

[@KevinVoigt1969]

Looks great. For a 2nd edition, how about the spike out of the back like army entrenching tools, minus the pounding surface? The spike would allow you to get through rocks without damaging the shovels edge. Nice review, ty.

[@SpikeBachman]

If you decide to test further, would love to see how well it holds up to prying, such as unearthing a rock to use in a fire ring. Would also like to see if it's feasable to step on the back of the blade. Thanks for the review!

[@05generic]

It seems sturdy and well designed I like it.

[@SooperNerdie]

I am seriously liking it! Looking good performing to. Great video.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Travis Beach Thanks Travis.

[@LtSurvival]

Nice doing Chris a i mean Bryan.you graduated with those noice and plane in your video. Nice shovel fire. Great review told you pining The ferro was easyer with large blade. Made me laught with that sillyness but was a great video. Atb Louis

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks Louis. You are right, of course.

[@mattf8581]

This is a great looking shovel! Very good quality! I could use this great shovel! Awesome video!

[@toad0813]

I have a Jeep Wrangler... The SCHSH1 Folding Shovel is on my "needs" list.

[@Paul-eb3pg]

I am so happy to see you baton with it, I think you should baton with everything you review, flashlights,compasses,.....kidding

[@richardlambert30]

I went down there when I was a young'un in the scouts. Loved it.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Richard Lambert Cool.

[@buffycrouch3175]

Cool shovel. It would be great to use a round the house or out camping

[@michaelstjohn6086]

Ten year shovel technician here! When you mentioned that I was saying to myself "man that would wreak havoc on some buried pex pipe!" I use to sharpen my edges a little but the phone company didn't appreciate it lol. Ok ok I'm rambling now, what's your pick DeWalt or Milwaukee?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Michael StJohn I have never tried Milwaukee cordless. I do have a 30 year old Milwaukee Sawzall and Drill that is still going strong. All my cordless are Dewalt, but I have heard the Milwaukee stuff is great.

[@davidgonyeau1825]

Bryan, good video, you're the only one i heard grumping about rambling, so there. So tell me, would you use this shovel for a crawl space dig out? You know the kind, where you dig your way under the foundation, and across/under the house, so you can make a repair to the piping under the house? As far as the "One Shovel Fire" goes, GOOD ON YA LAD! Shows good improvisation! Might be worth making a field excessive for your Scouts, too. Mr. Murphy doesn't care what you have with you, he just wants to throw a wrench in the works. You might be able to get Schrade to pony up a new one of their shovels for the winner. I was a Scout once myself. As I recall every other guy was tasked with carrying an E-tool, of WWII, or Korean vintage, on our camp outs. There was much snarling and whining and "those darn things weigh a ton". Many of the fathers of our young Scouts, had been or were Infantry in the late unpleasantness in Europe and the Korean Peninsula. So there was a fair bit of grumbling about us dumb kids carried more junk that was of no use at all, for anything! After the fathers and the Scout master got done that night with unloading our packs, and only letting us re-load with essentials,the packs were much lighter. Every Scout was sent home with a gunny sack full of non-essential gear, and a short note of what was expected of him to return with on the day of departure. When all those sacks of canned food, and extra long johns were returned home, there was much gnashing of teeth and waling from mothers who thought that there baby boys were going to starve and freeze in the wilds of the Pacific N.W., (in the middle of summer)! I'm pretty sure that it's in the standard mom contract, that they kick up a fuss over such things. Our standard load was as follows. 1 An external frame back pack. 2 Two one quart canteens, one stainless or aluminum, and one plastic, if you can find them. (Santa showed up the morning of our departure, and gave everyone a brand new 1qt. plastic canteen and canteen cover, canvas of course with the then brandy new Alice clips.) 3 A stainless mess kit and spoon and a stainless canteen cup, unless we already had aluminum. 4 An old G.I. poncho, all necessary repairs made before we were set to depart. 5 A stout sheath knife, and of course our pocket knives. 6 Fishing gear if you had it. Be prepared to share with those that don't have it. 7 A compass if you have it. 8 A sleeping bag or a blanket roll. If blanket roll, rolled inside a G.I. poncho, in addition to your rain gear, and properly secured. 9 A sturdy pair of boots. 10 A skein of cotton clothes line. A skein of 3/8" sizzal rope. 11 7 pairs of socks, and two bandanas. 12 Soap, tooth brush and paste, and a box of waterproofed kitchen matches. We got our grub on the morning of departure. Each meal in one of the bread wrappers we had all been saving for months. Zip lock bags wouldn't be invented for quite a while yet. Each patrol leader was issued a hatchet and a file, for the use of his patrol. Every other scout got an E-tool. By the end of that summer almost everyone was carrying an E-tool whenever we hit the woods. It doesn't take much of a fire started from a abandoned camp fire from some other camper to make a believer out of you. I almost forgot, our shelter consisted of G.I. pup tents, with our ponchos as ground sheets. On top of that we were all supposed to bring our Scout Manual. One of the guys asked why we had to bring the extra weight, and was told that if anyone got separated from the troop, that they should sit down right where they were and dig out their manual and start at the front and start reading. By the time that they got to the end, the troop would have found them, and as an added bonus they would have the first book read for next years batch of book reports. This was met with much heavy groaning. Holly Cow! and you were complaining about rambling on. Would you look at what I just did?! Take care and have fun cave camping.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

David Gonyeau OK, you win the rambling contest ;-0 But it is interesting to hear all the details you remember. I was Scout in the 70s and it was a great experience. And to answer your question, I would hate to use ANY shovel to dig my way under a foundation but this one would probably come in handy. Thanks for the trip to yesterday year, it brought back some great memories. - Bryan

[@markarthur5749]

One badass little shovel, would love to have one. Also I may not carry it on a belt (but you never know) but you can certainly use them loops to lash it to a pack or other gear, thanks for the demo!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Mark Arthur Thanks Mark.

[@grampawterry6104]

I have been looking at shovels ..I like this one ..Can hammer with it ,,T handle ,,And its long ...I give it a 10 Thumbs up ..

[@redc.pedestrian8530]

So much for the illusion of being in the wilderness. Lots of ambient traffic noise. Decent tool nonetheless. ( I like your work man. It takes time and effort to put these together.)

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Red C. Pedestrian No illusion intended. It was in my back yard. A hole's a hole and a fire's a fire, right? Thanks for the kind words.

[@skagee3320]

Great video...thanks for the review...been looking for a good survival shovel...think I found it.

[@christopherstockhaus9596]

Schrade is quickly becoming my favorite "go to" brand. They don't always have the best possible thing at the best possible price, but they're always pretty dam close.

[@michaeldeadmond1141]

This is awesome....very much needed in my bug out bag !!!!!

[@ericblades4230]

Good video, I've been looking at folding shovels and I like this one.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

So do I. Could you tell?

[@ericblades4230]

I got that impression

[@JamieHitt]

I like it! I have some experimental projects coming up and that looks like the perfect tool to use. Definitely goes on the wish list. Schrade seems to have made a commitment to higher quality production. Great video, Bryan!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Jamie Hitt I have not gotten any junk from them at all in the last year or so I've been testing their gear.

[@Ghostginthree]

Good video and testing. I have a Glock shovel and love it but I am looking for another type of model for my other emergency packs and I really like this one. It is small but strong and easily portable. Thanks.

[@Johonavich49]

That is a cool shovel! At the end it looked like you threw it for a balance test!

[@momdear75ify]

Great review on this shovel, I'm convinced.

[@mattdrives4757]

Been looking for a shovel to throw in my Jeep, thanks Bryan!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I'm glad it helped.

[@bsinns8836]

awesome review put it through a lil more than i would have thought to do

[@cerescop]

Question observation...that large root first removed from the hole, if it were dried would it be useful as fat wood. All the plants juices and nutrients go thru it so it may be useful if allowed to dry awhile. Would it be useful as fat-wood? Good video on the shovel, I was thinking it would work for digging clams in a pinch..

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Only if it was Pine

[@rosemarydawson5588]

Love your way of reviewing lol awesome video and love to have one of those shovels! sharing

[@dennisnorman7141]

Awesome bit of Kit!I want one big time!

[@livingsurvival]

Minus the plastic it looks like a great item.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

The plastic is really just a cover for the aluminum handle. We'll see how well it holds up.

[@aaronroberts560]

Great honest reviews, i like it, keep up the good work.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Aaron Roberts Thanks Aaron.

[@lykos1963]

Sweet!!!! I need this in my bug out bag....

[@AtimatikArmy]

Great review but honestly, I wouldn't trust it in the bush long term, too many moving parts on a tool that gets a lot of abuse. I still think the winner is the Cold Steel Shovel... cheap, super strong, lightweight and happens to be one hell of an axe as a bonus..

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Time will tell.

[@AtimatikArmy]

Very True.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

lee lion I don't know if I would call 2 lbs light. And I think I put it through some pretty tough initial testing. However, as a Master Plumber, I've admittedly seen some conditions that would be hard on any shovel. All I can say for sure is it did a good job so far and it looks to be very well constructed as far as I can tell. I think every tool involves some kind of compromise and you admittedly always sacrifice some strength for compactness. Again, time will tell.

[@AtimatikArmy]

Survival On Purpose You are very well spoken (something to admire). I also think your assessment is very valid. As you say, only "time will tell" and at least there doesn't appear to be any "red flag" popping out about it yet. So I think it deserves a fair shake. ;-)

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

After my bad experience with the smaller folding shovel from UST, I was glad to see this one do so well.

[@CentralOregonSurvival]

Looks pretty good.. Wonder what they are going to want for it?? Price point can make a difference? Great review Bryan

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I bet it's a good deal. It lists for about $43 and the street price is usually way below the list on the Schrade stuff.

[@CentralOregonSurvival]

Sweet...

[@semco72057]

After viewing your video and seeing the shovel in action I will be thinking of their shovel since I need one for camping purposes and one to keep in my vehicles.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Mine is still in my camping box. Hard to beat.

[@Cetok01]

Interesting, but I'll gladly stick with the Cold Steel Shovel which I've been using for the past several years. It also has (pioneered?) the sharpened edge and makes a very adequate hatchet and throwing tomahawk, without the disadvantage of moveable parts that can break or pinch (found that out the hard way with an old military E-tool). Plus, if the wooden handle breaks you can use the spade to cut and shave a sapling into a replacement, as long as you retain the attachment screws.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yeah, I plan on getting one to check out soon.

[@charleslarson3152]

[@jakesshopandtracktalk1835]

Testing the balance on shovels now hey? I had my first outdoor adventure of the new year this weekend too. We went and did the Flagpole Knob run 25 jeeps one axe actually a hatchet and no it wasn't me that had it I was riding with a buddy so my usual truck stuff wasn't with me it was 25 miles away with my pickup and trailer.I mention this because geez there was a darn tree across the road windshield high some guy that's much younger than me went all the way through it with that pound and a half camp axe. all I had on me was my EDC stuff with the Kephart knife swapped in place of a folding knife and my bigger multi tool. Something told me, Jake Grab the chainsaw. Next time I'm listening to that voice.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Jake Riethmeier Always good to have somebody younger along to handle the light work ;-)

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

this looks really useful.I can see 1000 times this would be great to have in my kit. I want one

[@dofishbuster]

HMMM It seems Schrade is doing a give-a-way using your video Brian. Good job!

[@ManLand]

Hot dang!...It lit an actual fire...now that is impressive!!! It processed the tinder and all...

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Man Land I was impressed. It may have earned a spot in my top 10 tools.

I'ts a lot better than that folding china made folding shovel I once owned...2 diggings in and it really did fold up...the working end just bent...lol.

"Know what would be ridiculous, if he used a ferro rod to light a fire"... boom... "Impressive... but can you throw it? Dammit, Bryan!!!"

It was fun

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Ron Larimer Good point Ron.

[@seanrutter3470]

Looks like a good tool. I have an a-tool in my trunk so not sure I need a new shovel but I'd love to throw this one in a pack and hit some dirt. :)

[@williamstewart4559]

i liked the way it performd and would get one

[@ibpn4284]

have to agree I think the telescopic handle will prove to be the weak link. it may take a long time but it will fail. if you have any sway with them suggest they make a one piece handle, if you think as I do. thanks. now that you got a bean hole dug use it,

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Ibpn They could make a one piece handle of titanium but it would be less compact and cost a lot more. I guess what I'm saying is there are always tradeoffs. I just test stuff for what it is and let the chips fall where they may. I have to say, at least so far, I'm very impressed with this shovel. There will be a long term follow up on this one. If there are problems you'll see them, I promise.

[@louisetupper3645]

pretty handy shovel to throw into the tool kit

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Throw? You should never throw shovels ;-)

[@TheAnnoyingThingOutdoors1]

I dig this one!

[@terrymason453]

great video again thanks brain I need to try one.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks Terry

[@palerider7171]

Bryan, Not sure I will give up me Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel but the SCHSH1 look like a complementary tool. The Cold Steel I bet will hold up better just because it has "no" mechanical elements. It works well as a chopper, claims to be "defensive" tool (I never used it in that role so I can't attest to that) and an OK shovel. Where is the SCHSH1 looks like a great shovel that in a pinch can do the other stuff. I will be checking this out. Thanks again for the review.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

William Phillips I like the Cold Steel and I will probably get one soon to review, but there are some advantages to the folding shovel design. At least in my opinion as a "professional" shovel user (I never realized how much digging plumbers do when I decided to learn the trade.)

[@palerider7171]

Yea that is why I am going to take a look at the SCHSH1 when it comes out. The Cold Steel does everything else well except being a shovel. It like its tertiary function!

[@JackThorsson]

Looks pretty awesome!

[@kennywheelus6857]

Hey Brian you need to check out the spactz tactical shovel that Tac on the Tactical show revived.

[@billygillis1028]

lmao...i was waiting for it to hit a tree...good job...soon as i seen it I was wondering about the edge...wanna be crazy...put one edge on the work sharp...I would..but I am dumb like that

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Billy Gillis Doesn't sound dumb to me.

[@MountainRaider]

i think the shovel did it better than the axe!lol nice review!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Well, to be fair, I did use fatwood. But it did do a good job, didn't it?

I think I dig it.
