The reinforced Nylon 66 Pocket Trowel is a lightweight and compact backpacking trowel. The handle retracts into the blade to save space in your backpack, and is the ideal tool for upholding Leave No Trace ethics in the backcountry.
When fully extended, the Nylon Pocket Trowel is the same length as the minimum depth of the ‘cathole’ you should dig.
FAQs
Easy to clean? Yes. You can wash the Nylon Pocket Trowel in very hot water (the melting point of the nylon is well above the boiling point of water).
Suitable for use in rocky ground, or soil with a lot of roots? Only to a limited extent. In really rocky areas, or in soil with extensive root systems, the hardened blade of Alloy Pocket Trowel makes it the better choice.
