TheTentLab(R Deuce(R) Ultralight Backpacking Potty Trowel in 3 Sizes (#2, Green, .6oz)

Worked well, sleek design made it easy to dig a cat hole. Ultralight weight...perfect for backpacking.

Excellent bit of gear, highly recommend

Always carry it in my day pack and trail pack. Always handy.

I was able to use it in my AT hike, but for southern FT a wag bag is better given that the only dry spots are campgrounds itself and I did not feel comfortable gigging cat-holes in the only dry spots available!!

I bought one of these for my recent section hike of the Pacific Crest Trail and ask you this question: If you’re planning a hike and you don’t have the Deuce of Spades Ultralight Backpack Trowel, are you even hiking?! At a featherweight 0.6 oz (17g), this trowel is so light that I almost forgot I was carrying it - until nature called, of course!Digging Deep: Let’s be honest, when you’re out in the wild, sometimes you need to dig a hole faster than a squirrel on caffeine. The Deuce of Spades is like the superhero of trowels—swift, efficient, and ready to save the day (or at least your dignity). I found myself channeling my inner archaeologist as I dug with this bad boy, unearthing nothing but the satisfaction of a job well done.Sturdy Yet Stylish: Made from high-quality materials, this trowel is tougher than it looks. I half expected it to sprout a cape and start flying around, but alas, it remained firmly in my hand, ready to tackle any terrain. It’s so sturdy that I’m convinced it could double as a makeshift weapon against any rogue critters trying to steal my snacks.Leave No Trace, Literally: The Deuce of Spades is not just a trowel; it’s a commitment to responsible hiking. With this tool, I felt like a true environmental warrior, ensuring that my “business” didn’t leave a trace.Versatile and Compact: This trowel is so compact that I could fit it in my pocket, which is great because you never know when you might need to dig a hole or, you know, defend yourself against an overly curious squirrel.In conclusion, if you’re heading out on the PCT or any other trail, do yourself a favor and grab the Deuce of Spades Ultralight Backpack Trowel. It’s lightweight, durable, and will make your backcountry bathroom breaks feel like a walk in the park (well, sort of). Trust me, your future self will thank you - especially when you’re not doing the “I need to find a spot” dance!

Deuce of Spades are the most lightweight, best trowels on the market. The small size and light weight makes it ideal for backpacking. It’s also quite sturdy! Makes digging catholes or digging out ash in fire pits easy. I’ve even hit hard and rocky dirt and the trowel held up (even though I ultimately could not dig a sufficient cathole, BUT the trowel did not break or divot). Very functional, easy to use, and a great price, too.

A backpacking must have!!! Ultralight and durable

Works great! Super light but strong, if used correctly. I use it for wild harvesting roots & tubers as well as digging a latrine.
