Shovel BCA A2 EXT Arsenal Shovel/Saw

The BCA A2 EXT Arsenal Shovel and Saw system includes a 29 cm snow/wood saw that is stowed inside the shovel grip. Once the saw is deployed, the shovel remains fully assembled and functional: the shaft does not have to be removed from the blade and the grip is still intact.

If your backcountry ski or sled adventures involve lumber (getting stuck in it, burning it, etc.), you know the importance of having a good saw on hand. If you've ever traveled with a loose saw, you know the importance of storing a saw properly. This integrated solution is looking you right in the face.

Like the members of the "Bomber" series of shovels from BCA, the A2 boasts an off-the-chart strength to weight ratio while taking up minimal storage space in your pack. Key features on the A2 included an oval shaft with a more packable, bombproof, 'ferrule-less' blade, ergonomic grip, and T6 heat treatment.
