The question is the wave leathermen weights eight ounces, could I use
the shovel in place of the leathermen or not? If so I could make up the
weight by leaving the leathermen behind.

I've seen that claw before, cool idea. regarding ditching the leatherman for a shovel; are you talking above tree line stuff? if so fine, but in the woods you can dig snow w/ your snowshoes in a pinch. I understand weight concern, but you gotta have what you need in an emergency. If you don't, your just lightening the load of the SAR personnel who'll be carrying out your body.
