deploy
shovel + pack
opportunities
bury two prototype shovels and test each handle's ability to hold up to ice and force
a wire is used to simulate lateral pressures
this could potentially result in a bent shovel that is not as effective if it loses its original shape
fast yet practical:
-
quick deploy
-
quick detach
-
protects lower back
-
stores the goodies
testing handles + materials
shovel
carbon fiber remains a strong and lightweight material that can retain its shape in icy conditions
a cork composite insert is lightweight, hydrophobic, and comfortable in hand
two blade positions allow for more aggressive shoveling styles
pack + harness
the pack mimics the shovel blade shape giving as much protective storage as possible while still allowing a smooth shovel deployment
the harness can be used alone or sit in conjunction underneath a backpack
