Never hike without this
Works but flawed design
So I bought this with a kit that came with compressed TP and biodegradable tablets to help your waste break down. Those things I loved. However, this shovel is a major pain. It's hollow. Which makes sense for weight savings. But dirt gets clogged in the handle EVERY TIME. It's such a pain. Like others have said, it does a great job with roots and such, but the clogging of dirt made me stop bringing this shovel. Even putting it in a river to clean it out takes time and effort because by the time you're done digging the whole, that shiz is PACKED in there. They should have made a thin blocker to stop the dirt from clogging in there.
Extremely comfortable
This trowel is really comfortable and strong. Its handle has no sharp edges making digging a hole super easy and fast without any pain and discomfort. It also doesn’t bend while digging into hard ground. I was worried that dirt could get stuck in the cylinder shaped handle but this is not the case at all.
Does the Job!
This trowel easily cuts through small roots just by pushing through them, and the serrated edge slices through larger ones in a snap. It's ultralight to the point where it has very little effect on your pack weight. Being metal, it's not flexible, but the small loop on the end allows you the option of easily securing it on the outside of your pack if you are looking to save space.
My New Go-To Trowel!
So much more comfortable to hold than a flat metal trowel. The curved shape means it doesn't cut into your hand when digging in tough dirt. Plus, PACT has lifetime warranties on all products so they'll replace or refund if it ever bends.
