When you find yourself in an emergency situation, anything that you have will be better than having nothing at all. While having a fire starter, like from our earlier article “All-Weather Emergency 2-IN-1 Magnesium Fire Starter” can help tremendously by providing you with a flame, you will also want a tool that can get multiple jobs done.

The FiveJoy compact military folding shovel is a survival multitool that any camper would be wise to carry.

Survival Multitool Specifications

When they say multi tool they really mean it, this thing will do just about everything you can think of. It is a shovel, axe, rescue knife, fire starter, whistle, saw, hammer, glass breaker, it has measuring capabilities, and is even a bottle opener, in just one unit. There is also a decent amount of paracord included as well, making it perfect in most survival situations. It is strong enough to help build your shelter and chop firewood, which could very well be lifesaving in an emergency or if you decide to use it all the time. Cleaning it is extremely easy because all of the pieces come apart,

FiveJoy makes this multitool from a heat-treated, high-quality solid carbon steel. Fully extended it is 19 inches long and the shovel head is 5.5 in long by 4.5 inches wide. The entire assembly weighs just two pounds and it comes with a convenient case to protect the blade and carry the tool with ease. You truly get your money worth out of this innovative survival multitool considering how many functions it has and how light it is.
