The Brooks-Range Hauler Shovel is a trusted tool for avalanche professionals and guides worldwide. Built tough enough to handle the rugged conditions of the remote Brooks Range in Alaska, the Hauler Shovel has been aggressively and extensively tested to ensure it will work when you need it most. Assembled the shovel is 28.5'' and weights just over 660 g. The flat blade of the Hauler is ideal for performing snow-stability tests and doubles as a deadman anchor in a pinch.
