I’ll admit Im not the most avid of campers. I used to be, but then life got busy and I just haven’t been able to get out and about as much as I’d like to. But, I plan on changing that soon and the The EST Shovel, a packable 18-in-1 multi-tool, will give me even more motivation to book a bunch of campsites for the summer.
The bummer news is that the EST Shovel might not be able to join me and my family on our next camping trip because it’s in development. It’s on Indiegogo and there is still a number of days left. The good news, though, is that it looks to be well worth the wait.
Why Can’t You Have It All (In One)
If you have ever been camping, you know that packing for camping can be a pain. You have to grab your tent. You have to grab your sleeping bag. You have to figure out how you are going to start a fire. And, you need to open your bear. And, you then might have to scare the bears away. And, what about chopping some wood for the fire? And, you are going to have to dig a hole (and then cover it up). So, you either create your list and run around trying to find all of those things. Or, you don’t create a list, get to the campsite and realize you forgot half of the necessities. How are you going to dig that hole? Can you remember how to start a fire with just a few twigs rubbed together?
But, what if you could have it all for your next camping trip? What if you could have it all..or, in the case of the The EST Shovel, a packable 18-in-1 multi-tool, have it all-in-one? Well, from everything we see with this innovative all-in-on camping tool, you can.
As it is an Indiegogo campaign, we haven’t been able to get our hands on The EST Shovel yet. But, we are so excited about this product that we just had to feature it.
Why Are We So Excited About The EST Shovel?
Here is why we are so excited about the EST Shovel, a packable 18-in-1 multi-tool, and think it is one of the smartest new camping accessories:
It’ll keep you more safe
Nobody likes to talk about it much, but there are things that can go wrong when you are out camping. From bears to getting lost to needing immediate medical attention, And, there are a lot of tools out there that can help keep you safer camping. But, most campers I know just don’t carry all of the safety tools they should. They are either too bulky or too expensive or they just plain forget. The EST Shovel has a bunch of tools that will keep you safer on your next camping trip. And, since all of the tools are together, it’ll be hard to forget what you need an super easy to pack.
The EST Shovel makes it easier to keep track of many of your camping necessities
Again, it’s a pain to keep track of all of your basic camping necessities. Because, it’s a pain, this means you probably forget some of them every time you go camping. But, with EST Shovel, there are many camping necessities that are all in one neat little package. This makes your life easier as you pack and your camping more enjoyable when you get to where you are going. Heck, I know we can all open a beer bottle in awe-inspiring ways, but do we really need to? There are bottle openers for that and I can’t tell you how many time me and my buddies have somehow all forgotten one when camping.

It’s great that you can have all of your camping tools in one neat package. But, it’s important that it still be small enough to pack away while still being sturdy enough to last. The EST Shovel looks to fit both bills.
