 Poster: A snowHead
|
While away recently I saw a guy with a really lightweight shovel / backpack. It was more of a rucksack type harness with an integrated shovel.
I done loads of searching on google, but can't find anything similar. Anyone come across anything like this?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Cody Townsend has one similar in Days of My Youth - caught my eye - I too can't find the exact model, but he's a pic in case it helps anyone else:
I just tweeted Cody to ask if he knows the model but I doubts he will reply ><

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

That looks like an ABS pack with a shovel strapped on the outside. You can do that a DaKine Heli pack for example.
There's an American company who used to make a thing which is basically just the shovel in a backpack harness with a very small pouch under the blade, designed for shovel and probe. I can find the company name if anyone cares, but they stopped making them. I ride with a lass (skier) who uses one of those.
Me, I like a warm back.

Yeah @Jon181, I figured you meant much more compact than that one after a second read - sorry.

The pack I'm thinking of, which is basically shovel shapes, is a "Mystery Ranch Broomstick". Well you did ask. It is out of production, as far as my buddy knows. I may have a shot somewhere but it looks kind of like a black wrapper for a shovel. His is in Blue River (he's in Salt Lake) so can't just get a shot...
