The asymmetrical head of a shovel incorporates a vertically oriented metatarsal edge extending upwardly from the tip of the head to a recessed offset dorsal edge offset along the entire length of the dorsal edge from the tip of the head. The construction of the head permits it to function both as a pivot and as a lever, as well as facilitating the initial penetration of the head in soil.

A light emitting shovel assembly includes a shovel that has a shaft, a bucket that is coupled to the shaft and a handle that is removably coupled to a distal end of the shaft. The bucket is comprised of a translucent material for to passing light therethrough. A handle roller is rotatably coupled to the handle and the handle can be gripped. A shaft roller is rotatably positioned around the shaft and the shaft roller can be gripped. A handle heating coil is integrated into the handle roller to warm the user's hand and a shaft heating coil is integrated into the shaft roller to warm the user's hand. A shaft light emitter is coupled to the shaft to illuminate a work area with respect to the bucket. A bucket light emitter is coupled to the bucket and an auxiliary light emitter is coupled to the shaft.

A specifically configured gardening implement including an arced extension between the handle and the tool component. Such an implement permits greater versatility and facilitates typical gardening operations without losing any tool-using capabilities. Such an arced extension leads from a standard elongated, straight handle to the edge of a tool component, providing an ergonomic disposition of the tool in relation to the handle itself. In such a manner the arced extension allows for greater reach from a standing position, as well as the ability to adjust the actual handling of the overall implement to different angles without the need for uncomfortable and/or possibly. harmful repositioning by the user, as well. The inclusion of different tool components within the base handle/extension structure are also encompassed within the invention.

A field latrine assembly for defecating in privacy in a remote location includes a pop up tent that has an entrance extending into an interior of the pop up tent thereby facilitating a user to enter the pop up tent. A foldable chair has a seat portion which has a hole thereby facilitating the user to defecate through the hole when the user sits on the seat portion. The foldable chair is positionable inside of the pop up tent when the pop up tent is in the deployed condition to facilitate the user to defecate in privacy. The foldable chair includes a pair of legs that is pivotally coupled to a frame. A duffel bag is included for storing the pop up tent, the foldable chair and the foldable shovel for storage.

The present application relates generally to storage devices, and specifically to a combined shovel and storage device for backcountry or all-terrain use comprising a shovel blade and a complementary portion, whereby the shovel blade and the complementary portion are configured to releasably secure together thereby defining a hollow space for storage therebetween. The combined shovel and storage device further includes a shovel shaft, wherein the shovel shaft is of a dimension that can be stored within the hollow space for storage, and wherein the shovel shaft contains a first end with a shovel handle and a second end opposite the first end configured to releasably secure to the shovel blade. Also disclosed is a method of using a combined shovel and storage device to shovel earth, snow, water, or any combination thereof.
