We always carry a long handled shovel and axe when going offroad but where to put them (particularly the shovel)??? Used to carry on the roof rack but these days towing a camper trailer, we only have the roof rack on the vehicle for extended trips so a the roof rack option is out.
Can carry in/on the trailer OK but need them with us when away from
camp.
Kaymar have a combination Hi-lift jack & shovel or axe carrier off the spare wheel. We don't carry a Hi-lift jack so ideally what we want is a combination shovel & axe carrier, but Kaymar don't make them.
Anyone know if someone is making such a thing or do we have to go to a metal fabricator and get one made up?

I don't know if this helps you or not, but I have a swing-out tyre carrier on the back of my FJ62 LandCruiser, and I've designed a carrier for a high-lift jack and shovel which is welded onto the inside. This works quite
well and doesn't take up any real space, as
the gap between the rear door and the tyre carrier is useless space anyway. You might want to do the same sort of thing. If you want, I can send you photos of my setup and you can see if you want to pursue the same sort of thing. My email address is root@plexus-technologies.com
