Ultralight Backpacking Trowel, 0.48 oz (13.5g) Red

This trowel is so light it feels like it will actually make my pack lighter! After looking at a number of small pack trowels this was the only one I found that has a nice plastic end cap to help protect your hand when digging a hole and provide a good grip. The aluminum is very thin giving the trowel a nice sharp edge. Trying to bend it with my hands it is obviously quite strong for the weight and does not seem like it will bend in use. The business end of the trowel is also wider than many other options which should make short work of a small hole. Digging a small test hole in my back yard was easy, though the true test will come with digging a hole in rockier soil in the back country. Never been so excited to poop in the woods!

I have just received this item through the post and am very happy with it. It is amazingly lightweight and so ideal for taking on a multi-day hike. The way the metal is shaped will ensure that it is sufficiently rigid when used. I haven't used it yet (and hope not to have to!) but will be glad to have it with me and am confident it will do a good job if the need arises.

I have a couple different trowels I've accumulated over the years. One rides in my truck, one lives in my camelback for hiking, I have another the bounces between my between my moto-camping and back-packing kits. I bought this one because I'm revamping my backpacking kit leaning in the ultralight direction and am really impressed with how light and nice in the hand it feels. Dug a test cathole in the yard and the nub on the top really makes all the difference! Allows you to put more downward force instead of death gripping the sides to generate and meaningful force like on my others bent sheet aluminum ones. Not sure how it would fare with a motorcycle falling over on it, but I have a feeling a few more of these will make their way into my other loadouts.

This Trowel is great! Way more lightweight than expected, yet it feels sturdy enough to dig easily through most soils. I have only used it a handful of times (thankfully) but I know that I can always count on it. Comes in a handy plastic bag that I repurpose to store the trowel and some TP in. I also love the plastic stopper at the top for easily pressing into the ground, which a lot of other trowels lack. Great value for the money!

Bought for a 4 day - 3 night backpacking trip. The trowel was fantastic; super lightweight but also incredibly functional and easy to dig holes with. The end cap was another upside ergonomically, allowing me to increase force when making contact with harder ground/soil. Absolutely recommend, especially for backpackers!

Super lightweight. Great value. Easy to grip. Small enough to fit in my poop bag. and easy to use.

Purchased the BoglerCo Ultralight Backpacking Trowel to replace an old plastic trowel that I’ve been using since the 80’s. Featherweight and impressive attention to detail—serrations to cut through roots, punched out holes to reduce weight, and the plastic palm protection—make this an excellent choice for any hiker or backpacker concerned with cutting ounces to a minimum.

Dug cat holes just fine, was able to clip to my backpack so it didn’t take up space and is very light.
