Ultralight Backpacking Trowel and Camping Shovel - Hiking and Garden Tool, Small Potty Shovel, Deuce of Spades for Outdoor Campsite Use

A must for any backpacker ultra lightweight and very sturdy

Wanted to use a few times before I left a review, and quite literally only used 3 times. Bought for wild camping on Dartmoor and unfortunately not up to the task. Handle bent on the second use, snapping on the third!!Pros - item is very lightweight, easy to pack and you won't know you have it on you. Good size for digging hole. Comes in useful little bag with caribiner clip and some cord.Cons - unsuitable for the task as described.Would be fine for a hole in soft peat in the garden but as soon as any resistance and handle bends, ultimately snapping.As this is my first purchase of a light weight trowel don't know if others on the market are suitable? Unfortunately outside any return period so cannt contact seller. At least I have a clip and cord left!

Bent immediately on first use, just not strong enough and too small.

the rope is frayed and coming off after taking it out once i guess it still works but wont last very long

If you’re using it for what it was intended (digging a little hole for your err… digested food) then it works perfectly. Easy to carry, you’ll barely know it’s there until you need it. The paracord is always handy and it’s a nice way of keeping some with you.Obviously, with any metal this light, avoid digging too vigorously in stony areas because it will bend under tension.

Comical how bad this is, not much digging going on with this. Two bends and it cracks. Hilarious

If, like me, you dislike carrying dog poo around, you'll want an ultra lightweight shovel to dig holes in the ground and then, using the handy stick that you'll probably find nearby, to sort of manoeuvre the poo into the hole. This is the tool for the job, if you'll pardon the pun.I must get a dog.

I took this wild camping with me recently. When trying to use it to dig through some grass it immediately bent making it barely usable.Unless you're planning to use it for the beach or perhaps indoor planting. I wouldn't recommend, it's worth spending a little bit more, I'm going need to buy another one now.
