Backpacking Trowel Camping Shovel Hiking Trowel Backpacking Ultralight Shovel Small Potty Multitool for Digging, Metal Detecting, Gardening and Outdoor Survival

I bought the Backpacking Trowel for my son’s camping trip, and he couldn’t be happier with it! He mentioned it’s one of the best purchases he’s made on his own. The trowel is incredibly sturdy and made of high-quality materials, which gives me confidence in its durability.It’s lightweight and compact, making it easy to pack for hiking and outdoor activities. He’s used it for various tasks, from digging to gardening, and it has performed exceptionally well.While it’s still early to assess long-term durability, it seems like a reliable tool for any outdoor enthusiast. Overall, I highly recommend this multitool for anyone looking for a versatile and dependable shovel for camping or hiking!

First of all, it’s a trowel. In my mind I thought, “ok, so what, it’s a trowel”. But, there are some key things that make this worth this review and better than your typical trowel.1. It is very sturdy. We have had many that just bend with a little use. Not this one. It’s built for rugged use and to last. I hated digging a hole and having the handle bend on the cheap ones.2. It’s a great sharp point which makes digging out the roots of things super easy.3. It has a small ruler built in so you can easily see depth of the hole and measure the tool base of the plant for the correct fit. The ruler is also great for plant/flower spacing.4. The edge is super sharp so cutting stems is easy. It nice to have one tool to do More than one thing.5. The serrated edge is great for those stubborn roots or stalks that just don’t want to break.A couple of improvements I’d like to see are: the paracord wrapped handle. I found this to be almost useless because the paracord slides off and there is no way to make it stay in place. The other thing is the cut outs for tightening/loosening nuts. I’m just not sure I’d use those ever.Overall, It really is multipurpose. Trim, dig, measure, cut, plant, it’s good for all. I’d pay about $10-15 in the store for a cheap one that would bend after a little use. I’m glad to have this one in my gardening box.

Served it’s purpose well. Didn’t hurt my hands digging an award winning poop hole. A bit bulky for the backpack but light.

Light weight, compact and sturdy little camp shovel for digging a poop hole.

I traded in my deuce of spades for this - it easily cuts small roots when trying responsibly create that 6 inch deep pit stop off trail. It also helped to easily create a small trench to drain pooling water that tried to ruin our tent site on a backpacking trip during a bad rain. The handle makes it so easy to use and the storage sleeve that comes with it works great for when you can’t fully get it clean.

I use this so much while gardening. I have a lot of poke berry and yucca that grows around me.. this easily cuts through mature stalks on both plants. I have cut through really thick ivy vines with this thing. I have also used it to pry pretty big rocks out of my garden, causing minimal damage to the tool. This product is sturdy and works very well.

This trowel is great. I’ve used pieces of wood to hammer it through roots and past rocks and it doesn’t even look used yet. Very well built.

This trowel seems sturdy, but I have not put it to use yet. I am thinking of putting a short wood handle into the hollow handle of the trowel. The sheath or cover is cheaply made and I wouldn't expect it to hold up. This is a better option than a plastic trowel in my opinion and could be just what I was looking for to take the place of a larger and heavier shovel.
