I bought this trowel to try it out but was not very optimistic. I was very surprised to find that this trowel is very sturdy and got the job done digging through hard rocky soil that had tons of roots running through it. This travel was able to cut through the roots and dig through the rocky soil.It is very lightweight to the point where you hardly even notice it in your pack.

Lightweight for a backpacking trip, but the handle isn’t the most ergonomic. A bit painful when digging in harder packed soil. Will probably use something else in the future.

Lightweight and sturdy enough. Digs easily, can be clipped to outside of backpack easily.

Better to dig a hole and bury it. We all been there leave the house to go fish or hike and everyrhing is good. Then thunder guts and all of a sudden you clench up and look for an outhouse or porta john. Well there isnt one so know you got your cheeks clenched tight and are about to lose a battle you didnt even prepare for. Well one of these some TP or baby wipes and at least you have a chance to make it deep in the woods and do what you gotta do instead of having to ride home with one sock on and cover your mess in a pike of leaves.Its lightweight you can even clip it to your belt loop.

This trowel is a good choice if you need something smaller and lighter than a camp shovel/e-tool. It's what I keep in my camping pack for when I want to dig a small fire pit, shovel some dirt or sand on campfire embers, etc. It's also a good choice for metal detecting on loose or sandy soil.Would I want to dig a latrine pit with it? Absolutely not, just like I wouldn't want to fell a tree with a camp hatchet. But if I'm camping it'll probably be at a state park or other maintained area, and I just don't see the need to dig giant pits or trenches. I can bundle this trowel unobtrusively into my pack and ignore it unless I need it. Since it's blaze orange, I'm also less likely to misplace it. For $6 this is a win.

I am a backpack hiker/camper. I do not consider myself an "Ultralighter" though I do very much appreciate quality backpacking gear that is ultralight. Some simple things like this, for me anyway, can absolutely be ultra light weight.This backpacker's trowel I think fits the description of ultra light weight. While you can indeed buy a sturdier, more resilient trowel, you will also not only pay a lot more but also take on more weight. Let's face it most of us will only use this to dig our cat hole for #2. This trowel is more than adequate to dig your 8" hole unless you are dealing with frozen ground or solid bedrock. What other trowel out there is going to dig through that?This item is really a no-brainer. For the price, just get two. Who cares if you lose it or it somehow breaks after a few uses. In my opinion it's more than worth the price and the weight.

If you only think about price, this Canadian-made trowel outfights every other trowel I've seen. It's amazingly sturdy for a plastic trowel and it has really sharp edges as well! The only downside is that is not as portable or lightweight as the fancy bagpacking trowels out there, but for the price of one of those you can buy a lifetime supply of these!! About 5, because they are STURDY. OH! I'm a gardener as well so I bought one for my yard as well and I can say that it holds great too! Stones will mess up the edges a little and with time it will get blunt but nothing that some creativity (for sharpening it again) or another trowel won't fix (if it wasn't clear, they aren't expensive)After using it I'd like to add, you wont be forgeting this trowel in the middle of the woods because this thing is BRIGHT! Amazing color specially if you're like me and you sometimes forget things at the camping site
