CKG Ultralight Backpacking Trowel, 28 Gram Blue Aluminum Camping Digger with Paracord Grip

Every ounce in your pack earns its place, and this one weighs less than a granola bar. The CKG backpacking trowel comes in at 28 grams of aircraft style aluminum, light enough that thru hikers will not notice it and strong enough to punch through rooty forest duff. At 7.87 inches long with a 2.75 inch blade, it trenches tent lines, clears fire pits, digs camp holes to regulation depth and handles trail chores that would destroy a plastic scraper.

The extended handle gives real leverage for a tool this size, the wrapped nylon paracord grip keeps your hold sure in rain or cold, and the cord doubles as emergency cordage when you need it. A built in belt loop attachment keeps it on your hip or clipped to your pack strap, so the most used tool in camp is never buried at the bottom of your bag. The anodized blue finish makes it easy to spot in leaf litter, because the best trowel is the one you do not leave behind.

Why Hikers and Campers Choose This Trowel

• Just 28 grams: Under one ounce, this is true ultralight territory, lighter than most titanium trowels and a fraction of any folding shovel.

• Paracord grip with a backup job: The nylon wrap keeps the handle secure in wet hands and unwinds into emergency cordage if you need it.
• Belt loop carry: Clips to your belt or pack strap for instant access on trail breaks and camp setup.
• Extended handle leverage: The 3.93 inch grip gives more digging force than stubby ultralight scrapers.
