Ideal Axe: - The center of mass is close to the head for maximal chopping action Ideal Shovel: - The center of mass is far back so balancing dirt on the shovel is easier Apart from that strange oversight truly baffeling compromises were made here - Like "Why can the head spin"
Adding a locking mechanism to stop the head from spinning and changing one of the "useless" pieces of handle into a heavy weight (so you can assemble it with the weight near the head for chopping or at the end for shoveling!) would solve those. Then just make the knife not suck and you might have something functional.
The camera mount on the shovel is so that you can get a steady film of you saying your goodbyes to your loved ones before you die in the wilderness from exposure.
I mean you "could" survive briefly with it as you can get a fire going, with enough time and patience and skill you could make stone tools with natural materials and build a shelter out of already downed wood and leaves and stuff blah blah blah BUT for all that tool offers you might as well just buy a box of matches from the dollar store and save your money for all the actual survival use it provides, if anything its negative is survival use as its a hazard to try to use it

Yes, for $250 if your aware of cheap high quality items. Such as bahco laplander saw and a Mora knife. Throw in the Estwing Camper's Axe. Your well under $100 and your base kit is probably a solid B-. edit, was going to check. The trail boss went from $27ish to $76 on amazon.

Maybe its called a "survival" tool because the trick is to survive using it? The thread could definitely use some sort of locking mechanism for the "axe mode"

@@chimchu3232 You would have to make it so that the tool has separate heads that can be swapped. Ie, a removable axe head and a removable shovel head. Adjustable handle, etc. The problem then is that you’d have to make sure that said handle can handle punishment and the heads are secured properly. If you can unscrew a head/handle, it’s probably not as stable or durable.

Well, lest think about it for a sec, the bag may be a bit bigger, but a half way decent hatchet, $35-50, a good cheap knife $40.00, military shovel/ ? -$50, flint and steel or fire starter kit $20.00, add in another $20 for compass, and waterproof matches, so carefully shopping, you can improvise a pretty good kit.... but Watching Cody swing an inferior survival all in one tool.... Priceless!
@@cujoedaman A fiberglass hatchet for 20, then a small sharpening kit, a small Mora knife for 15, a tiny folding shovel of a similar if not better construction than this "survival tool" for maybe 30?
I seen some improper use of items in this video. Take the handles off and use it like a hatchet rather than an axe. The ring saw. Use a stick and make a bow with it and lightly saw with it.

now I'm imagining someone making an actually good version of this (minimizing failure points while maintaining functions, etc). could be interesting to see
well, besides it being lightweight, there is really no point to buying something like this, you can buy a mora basic, a cold steel shovel and axe, a big ferro rod, a decent folding saw and you would spend a little over $100, this thing cost 250 and a good well designed version made out of lets say titanium and 1095- or O1 still would cost about $500 or more

Not on purpose, just seems like whenever you kneel in the woods, 9/10 you’re going to kneel on something that jabs uncomfortably into your knees
Lose a small part on the garage floor? Just kneel down for something and your kneecap will find it.
Never fails
Would be interesting to see what kind of kit you could build for about the same money and size.
you mean all the parts need to fit into the same bag? I'd like to see that
Honestly, probably wouldn't cost that much. Even a cheap hatchet about the same size as that shovel head and sharpened well wouldn't be bad.
Well, lest think about it for a sec, the bag may be a bit bigger, but a half way decent hatchet, $35-50, a good cheap knife $40.00, military shovel/ ? -$50, flint and steel or fire starter kit $20.00, add in another $20 for compass, and waterproof matches, so carefully shopping, you can improvise a pretty good kit.... but
Watching Cody swing an inferior survival all in one tool.... Priceless!
Lots of survival vodka to think about this. Maybe lonely drunk wouldnt be so unhappy then
@@cujoedaman
A fiberglass hatchet for 20, then a small sharpening kit, a small Mora knife for 15, a tiny folding shovel of a similar if not better construction than this "survival tool" for maybe 30?
I can hear marks anger through the screen
For context markiplier bought one of these and called it his favourite thing he's ever bought
It's only called "the worst survival tool" because they never knew how to stab themselves using it to create a STAND...
I was wondering where the Jojo reference was.
@Jacob Freeman I got here before them lol
homie that's literally the jjba arrow-
what a *bizarre* coincidence i must say
Typical west-coaster, chops down a single tree and immediately develops carpal tunnel and cancer. Prayers for healing, my feeble west-coast friend.
You have a good sense of humor. Must be midwest.
Lmao 🤣
@@carlzirk looks like you get made fun of a lot by how you replied... must be a south west guy
Who spells Kurt with a C? Lmao
@@AKorAUSTIN My parents did... So so do I.
I seen some improper use of items in this video. Take the handles off and use it like a hatchet rather than an axe.
The ring saw. Use a stick and make a bow with it and lightly saw with it.
I'm so glad that I wasn't the only one who thought that was a Stand Arrow at first.
Damn son
You pierce yourself and a ghostly Bear Grylls appears behind you, it has the ability to make bugs taste less gross
I mean, depending on the stand that would be the best survival tool. I bet that star platinum would be pretty good at wrecking a tree and reducing it to kindling

35% of comments: *talking about how markiplier will hate this video*
5% of comments: *talking about the video*
I dont get the first 2 D:
Who wants to explain both of the references in this comment chain?
@@xEvilRaptorx the shovel looks a lot like the 'Stand Arrow' from manga/anime series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which is a very special type of arrow that gives people power to summon Stands, which are something like a guardian ghost and it's the main gimmick of the series.
As for the second one someone else can explain since I don't really watch Markiplier
@@xEvilRaptorx To complete the chain, the reference on Markiplier comes from a video where he eats sour patch kids icecream with it, before he does all that makes up excuses/explains why he bought this shovel and how was the best thing in the world, and that is pretty much it, good day mate.
You forgot the dudes talking about team fortress 2 market gardening
1%: Shovel Knight fans.
now I'm imagining someone making an actually good version of this (minimizing failure points while maintaining functions, etc). could be interesting to see
well, besides it being lightweight, there is really no point to buying something like this, you can buy a mora basic, a cold steel shovel and axe, a big ferro rod, a decent folding saw and you would spend a little over $100, this thing cost 250 and a good well designed version made out of lets say titanium and 1095- or O1 still would cost about $500 or more
Literally buy a mattock and then a saw and firestarter.
this man's adjectives are excellent, "anemic knife." and also carpal tunnel and cancer, the two well known issues with the wrist lmfaoo
For some reason that phrase, "carpal tunnel and cancer" killed me.
As both a jojo and tf2 fan this comment section makes me very happy

"Time show what the shovel can really do."
I’m out of the loop, care to explain?
@@AvoiceInYourheadd markiplier loves this tool
@@AvoiceInYourheadd Markiplier basically made this thing his Best Friend, he loves it so much
This is what it should be about, open and honest dialogue about survival and you do it in a friendly manner. I watched this clip and was laughing at the gimmicky crud about this tool. I feel you are genuine and honest about what you share. I love your videos and I look forward to watching them all. P.S I bought the Harbour freight axe after that video lol.
"Just from that experience alone I have a stand."
YES
Seriously tho from the thumbnail I thought it was a stand arrow
@@somerandomguy1116 SAME
Exactly
@@somerandomguy1116 my thoughts exactly
Normally i probably wouldnt have clicked on this video tbh, but I just had to see how many people would bring up Markiplier in the comments
I came here to write a comment about Makiplier’s shovel. I was happy to see it had already been done.
I just wish I knew how to send it to him to react to....
Yeah. I honestly wonder if Markiplier was the reason that this was recommended to me.
@@TetanicRain Same though!
Same here
So he does know that if he stabs himself with it he gets a stand right? It’s literally one of the best survival tools.
He lol
Beat me to it :(
Very true
I don't understand
JoJo reference don't worry about it
Bruh, that thing lowkey looks like the Stand Arrow.
"I'm not chopping nothing untill you hit that thumbs up button, I'll wait, I've got all day" "allright have you done it?"
