{"product":{"id":10926498840860,"title":"CKG Ultralight Backpacking Trowel, 28 Gram Blue Aluminum Camping Digger with Paracord Grip","body_html":"\u003cp\u003eEvery 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ===================== FEATURES ===================== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Hikers and Campers Choose This Trowel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJust 28 grams:\u003c\/strong\u003e Under one ounce, this is true ultralight territory, lighter than most titanium trowels and a fraction of any folding shovel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum with backbone:\u003c\/strong\u003e The rigid blade digs camp holes, cuts small roots and trenches around tents without flexing or snapping like plastic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParacord grip with a backup job:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nylon wrap keeps the handle secure in wet hands and unwinds into emergency cordage if you need it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt loop carry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clips to your belt or pack strap for instant access on trail breaks and camp setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended handle leverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 3.93 inch grip gives more digging force than stubby ultralight scrapers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to find, hard to lose:\u003c\/strong\u003e The bright blue anodized finish stands out against dirt, leaves and forest floor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePriced to gift:\u003c\/strong\u003e At $15.99 it fits stocking stuffers, scout kits and glove boxes without a second thought.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- ===================== SPECIFICATIONS ===================== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Aluminum, anodized blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length: 7.87 inches (20 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle length: 3.93 inches (10 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade width: 2.75 inches (7 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 28 grams (0.98 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrip: Nylon paracord wrap with emergency cordage utility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarry: Built in belt loop attachment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses: Camp digging, tent trenching, light gardening, small target recovery\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- ===================== WHO IT IS FOR ===================== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFor the Pack, the Garden and the Detecting Pouch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBackpackers and thru hikers get a Leave No Trace digging tool that disappears in a hip belt pocket.
