When it comes to survival tools and gear, most of us immediately think of knives, guns, firestarters, water filters, and backpacks but… have you ever thought of a “survival shovel?”

I'm not talking about your everyday trowel or garden spade… Tools like this have been in use by the strongest military forces for centuries!

Survival Shovel

In fact, entrenching tools were so important that Julius Caesar himself wrote about the tactical advantage they provided on the battlefield!

Napoleon used Entrenching tools and pick axes as a major part of his battle tactics.

Beginning in 1870, the U.S. Army began supplying our troops with an E-tool to be used as both an entrenching tool and a weapon.

The shovel saw a massive resurgence in usefulness during the trench warfare of WWI and WWII with nearly every military force issuing them to their troops! Without these incredibly effective tools… we may well have lost many more of our soldiers.

But even with thousands of years worth of battlefield experience behind it… there was still a HUGE problem with these tools.

They were bulky and really only served a single purpose…until NOW!

The TITAN isn't your ordinary garden spade… It has 19 unique functions in a fully customizable, compact, lightweight, tool… The TITAN is the world's first Survival Shovel.

Here's exactly what the TITAN is hiding:

  • It’s an incredibly sharp, tough, and durable axe that can take down just about any firewood.
  • A multipurpose 300 lumen HYBEAM Tactical torch with a genuine YAG™ bulb. And built in rechargeable lithium battery so you’re never left in the dark.
  • A neodymium “rare earth” magnet for hands free use of the torch while working on your car or around any metal surface.
  • Two different attachments to your torch as well as a built in Strobe and SOS function. White for use as a camp lantern when the fire goes out. Red for use as an Emergency beacon
  • An extra large Ferro rod that is twice as thick as normal Ferro rods, strikes at a blistering 3000° and guarantees 30,000 strikes so you can get a fire going no matter what.
  • A built in combination mini saw and knife that is a perfectly concealed backup blade.
  • 10’ of genuine paracord that when broken down and using the individual strands gives you 100’ total length of cordage, good for fishing, sewing, suturing, setting traps and snares and much more.
  • A gardening hoe for turning soil and clearing weeds.
  • It has a built in ruler for measuring.
  • Scissors for cutting cordage down to size.
  • An included screwdriver with both Philips and “flat head” attachments for almost any household chore.
  • An emergency tourniquet to make sure that you make it home no matter what.
  • A 120db “howler” whistle so you can save your voice and still signal for rescue.
  • An improvised snare trap so you’ll never be left hungry.
  • A hammer for pounding in tent pegs so you’re tent won’t collapse.
  • A bottle opener, so that at the end of the day, you can relax and crack open a cold one.
