Backcountry Access Dozer 2H-S Shovel with Saw - C2216002010

The BCA Dozer EXT Shovel is the ultimate tool for efficiently digging out stuck snowmobiles and for strategic shoveling in avalanche rescue operations. Designed with a mid-size blade, hoe mode functionality, and a bayonet-style wood saw, this shovel makes tackling tough tasks easier. With auto-engaging spring pins, you can quickly switch between traditional and hoe mode without effort. The integrated saw stows in the shaft and can be mounted like a bayonet, allowing you to cut through tough tree limbs.

The shovel features BCA's innovative ovo-concave shaft, which, combined with low-profile stompable blades and a variety of cored-out handles, results in a shovel that's both stronger and more lightweight than ever. BCA's pioneering oval shaft design prevents breakage when prying, while the concave radius adds strength without increasing weight. The tight tolerances of the extendable shaft help prevent ice buildup for reliable deployment, ensuring the shovel performs when needed most.

Equipped with a flat "stomp edge" on the blade and made of heat-treated 6061 aluminum, the shovel can penetrate tough avalanche debris using body weight. The auto-engaging spring pins make assembly and deployment quick and hands-free. Designed to meet UIAA standards for avalanche rescue, the shovel’s blades lay flat in your pack, offering extra storage space for other essentials, while its smooth surface helps ensure clean snowpit walls during snow stability tests.
