I finally got a Rev Summit (YEAH) and I have seen I am wondering how you guys get your blade of your shovel mounted about the pipe under the hood? Thanks.
Shovel question on a Rev

the shovel does you no good mounted to the sled ... keep your shovel in your pack... if you ever NEED it, it's with you.. jmho
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^X2!!!!
Thanks.
i agree...i keep avalanche arrest beacon on body and keep all extrication tools in a pack......
Always carry a shovel in the sled. When all you gear is gone and buried that sled sticking out is your only life saver.
On my 06 800 Rev I pulled out the spare belt and slid my whole S.O.S. shovel in its place(through the hood), head up by pipe handle by can, and mounted a belt clip for the spare belt to the ecm (on 06 only)using one of the ecm bolts. Easy to get the shovel out and its already together.
I carry enough stuff in back pack the less I have on me the better. Plus if I am rolling around on the snow I really don't want that shovel and blade attached to my back. I will try what you did summitrmk sounds like it may be a good fit. Thanks
you don't have the right pack then. i have a dakine pack that has shovel straps on the outside and i have landed on my back many times and have never noticed the shovel hitting me or getting in the way. and if you sled is stuck say nose down in a drift or creek, you will need a shovel to get your shovel out.
i put the shovel next to the chaincase and the handle laying on the pipe along the ecm, and i have had to dig toget my shovel and it sucks, what i really hate is when im stuck tight against a tree and cant get my shovel. so i am looking for a better setup myself....not a pack, i hate the way they feel , just cant make them comfy
i put mine in bag mounted on tunnel
