Zpacks Ultralight-Spatel

I've burned through cheap plastic trowels on rocky trails, but this one's blade bites into hard soil without bending, and it's light enough that I forget it's in my pack until I need it. Digging a proper cat hole takes half the time it used to.

Finally, a trowel that actually earns its spot in my pack—it's so light I forget it's there until I need it, and that's exactly when it saves the day. Digging through packed dirt took way less effort than I expected.

Digging cat holes in rocky soil used to take me ten minutes with a stick, but this trowel slices right through in half that time. Never thought I'd get excited about a piece of plastic, but the weight is honestly a non-issue after the first mile.
