NEVER THROW AWAY an old rusty shovel! An amazing DIY camping tool! 

But look... Now he has a new shovel, just a bit smaller!

I agree. Would make more sense to use those tool skills and ideas to turn something else into the final shovel, something that had lost its usefullness, like a milk can where half of it is rusted away. This shovel here was downcycled instead of upcycled. Not a big deal by itself, but if lots of people do what this video encourages, well, that gets to be serious.... (edit: fixed misspelling of "lits" to "lots")

@@katebloggs8243 I love the term "down cycled".. Ha ha. Never heard that before, but it perfectly explains his wasted effort. And if we want to talk environmental affects, best bet would have been if he put it in s bin for metal recycling.

Or you can save two hours of your life and buy the same thing at the store...

@@philllsxga.7737 Yes. Now I will say I recently learned that a little bit the hard way. Years back I replaced the shovel handle and it was still economical to do so. So I had another shovel that had been broken for a while and sitting in the garage. It turned out that it was a fiberglass handle with a collar holding the fiberglass in place onto the top of the shaft of the metal part of the shovel. It took a ridiculous amount effort to get that off. What started as a quick project with my 11-year-old on a lazy weekend turned into a huge endeavor. I didn't know how the fiberglass handle was assembled and that there's a wooden core inside of it. And then trying to push it out from the other direction I got a chisel stuck so it was a comedy of errors on my part. We finally just dremeled off the metal collar and then drilled out the wood poor inside of the fiberglass outer portion. So now we had the blade ready to take to the store and I looked at Home Depot and Lowe's to see that they both had handles in stock. They were both similarly priced. We went to the store and pick up the handle and it was literally like a dollar more for just the handle that was for a whole new shovel. Now, I have a strong handle and I have it on a good sturdy heavy duty blade. And the new cheaper shovel was much thinner and I probably would have worn out the blade rather quickly. The best thing I have though is a young son who now knows, short of the comedy of errors we had getting the old piece out, that you can replace the tool handle. And I showed him the value proposition. I explained him that we were only going to do this so that he can learn how to repair shovel and he would have to check in the future for some other tool with a more expensive metal head on it if it would be worth it to replace just the handle or not. But it opens up his mind too that he can fix other things rather than just throw them away and fill up a landfill. Now the guy in this video basically makes the case for not trying to upcycle anything because he really just downcycled it and made something that's totally useless and much worse than it was to begin with, particularly since he already owned all the tools he used to make this piece of crap tool. But in my case doing it once and letting my son see how a shovel is assembled and see how you need the handle grain to go to certain way different things like that, it was worth a few bucks and my time. And then from there you have to make a case-by-case decision in the future

However, this requires at least electricity. You can also chop and dig with such a shovel. It's actually very convenient 👋👍❤️

Or……….. turn the grinder into a shovel! Might actually work out better than that monstrosity!

Make a video with the upgrade. I think that would be sweet.

Come on! Everyone knows that rust fears silver paint 🙄

You haven't gone camping or roughed it in the woods before have you? I think this would be excellent to make rather than buy useless "survival" tools of similarity.

I don't know, does survival school and survival instructor count?@@reppy0757

You had a good tool for one job now you have a bad tool for three jobs

I feel dumber after watching this video. The comments, though, are priceless! 😂

And not as a shovel 😂

Its a drought bird irritation trencher that severes all electric wiring😂

And even not as a shovel now

Thanks 👋🤝❤️

Welcome bro👋❤️ Thanks for your support 👍☀️💪

I have an idea, he can use that nice sharks to saw that he used to spray paint the pattern for the TC cut out with a rough grinder instead and it'll actually cut through wood

And the "teeth" of a saw must alternatingly be bent a little to the left and to the right for a saw to work properly and not to get stuck

@@harrickvharrick3957 Oh yeah. Good point. I was just teaching my new college architecture student how to set up the table saw for some of her projects on her Thanksgiving break. And as she was measuring the distance between the fence and the blade I pointed that out. I guess the moral of the story is don't go camping with that guy and his hillbilly shovel multi-tool saw knife scrap metal object

Sadly it falls short on that also because e-tools actually work and are even collapsible. This Jerry rigged hunk of shit is laughable at least best

Nope. Instead, utterly ruin it!

А что нитак?

А вообще хрень какая-то а не полезный инструмент)) пилить, да и рубить такой задолбешся...Разве что копать от дождя во круг полатки)

Thanks bro 🙏 I'm glad you liked it 👋☀️❤️

@@Simple_Creative How come your "saw" doesn't cut anything and you jump edited that part out? And you really think you're heat treating metal with a small propane torch?
