Folding Survival Shovel Hurtel FORSAGE SAPERKA 70 cm — compact foldable digging tool

Hurtel FORSAGE SAPERKA is a folding survival shovel with a maximum length of 70 cm designed as a compact, portable digging and utility tool. Its collapsible construction makes it suitable for storage in backpacks, vehicle kits, or emergency packs while providing solid functionality for light digging, trenching, cutting surface roots, and clearing debris.

Advantages

The shovel combines a steel head and a folding handle to balance strength and compactness. The foldable mechanism reduces the overall length for transport and enables quick deployment. A shaped edge on the blade supports slicing and light chopping, while the serrated section on some blade edges assists with cutting small roots. The design emphasizes practical utility, easy handling and space-saving storage.

Suitable for

• Camping and backpacking — digging fire pits, clearing tent sites
• Automotive emergency kits — digging out tires or creating traction
• Hiking and trail maintenance — light clearing and trenching
• Outdoor work — gardening, soil loosening and removing surface roots
• Survival and emergency situations — shelter preparation and basic digging tasks

Key specifications

• Maximum length when extended: 70 cm
• Foldable/collapsible design for compact storage
• Material: steel head and steel handle sections
• Blade features: flat digging edge with cutting/serrated section for roots
• Weight: lightweight construction suitable for carrying in packs (exact weight depends on configuration)

How to use

Unfold the shovel by releasing the locking mechanism and extend the handle sections until secure. Ensure the locking joint is fully engaged before applying force. Use the flat blade for general digging, the pointed end or corner for breaking compacted soil, and the serrated or cutting edge for slicing small roots or vegetation. After use, clean off soil and debris, fold the shovel back into its compact position and lock for transport or storage.

Usage recommendations

For safe and long-lasting use, avoid applying excessive side torque to the handle at full extension, periodically tighten connection points if adjustable, and keep the shovel dry and lightly oiled to protect the steel from corrosion. Use gloves when cutting roots or chopping to protect hands and follow local regulations when digging in public or protected areas.
