The Stealth Shovel by DMOS

This video serves as a testimonial for the DMOS Stealth Shovel, detailing how it was instrumental in a vehicle recovery situation. The presenter, Ivan from KitBadger.com, recounts getting his vehicle stuck in deep snow on a backwoods trail. He initially used the shovel for basic snow removal, but a more severe situation arose when his battery broke loose and grounded itself, causing smoke and disabling the vehicle. He improvised a solution to secure the battery using a ratchet strap and then leveraged the shovel's capabilities to create a takeoff ramp and gather gravel for traction, ultimately enabling him to self-recover. The testimonial highlights the shovel's effectiveness in moving large volumes of snow and its utility for creating traction aids.
