The Sea to Summit Pocket Trowel is designed for backpackers and outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable, compact tool for responsible waste disposal. Its key benefit is providing an ultralight and durable solution for digging catholes, ensuring minimal environmental impact and adherence to Leave No Trace principles.

It is constructed from strong, ultralight, glass-reinforced Nylon 66.
The handle retracts into the blade, making it very compact for easy storage in a backpack. The dimensions when stored are approximately the length of the blade itself.
The handle provides a small, secure space to store items like a lighter or a small amount of toilet paper, keeping them dry and easily accessible.
When fully extended to 24 cm, the trowel is designed to help users dig catholes to the minimum recommended depth of 15-20 cm, as advised by Leave No Trace guidelines.
Yes, the reinforced Nylon 66 material is designed to withstand extremely cold temperatures without becoming brittle.
The Sea to Summit Pocket Trowel weighs 87 grams.
This trowel is optimally designed for digging catholes for waste disposal in backcountry settings, adhering to Leave No Trace principles. It is not intended for heavy-duty excavation or digging large pits.
Ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing the telescoping mechanism. Gently wiggle the handle while extending or retracting. If dirt is present, clean the components with water.
This is a lightweight tool designed for soil. For very hard or rocky ground, carefully choose a softer spot or use a rock to help loosen the soil first. Do not apply excessive force that could break the trowel.
Check for any debris inside the compartment. The lid is designed for a snug fit to keep contents dry; apply firm, steady pressure to open and close.
Setup: The trowel requires no assembly. To use, simply extend the handle from the blade. To store, retract the handle back into the blade until it clicks or locks securely.
Compatibility: This trowel is universally compatible with standard backpacking practices and Leave No Trace principles. It is designed for digging soil and is not intended for prying or heavy-duty excavation.
Care: Clean the trowel after each use with water. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Ensure the trowel is completely dry before storing it to prevent potential mold or odor development in the handle compartment. Avoid exposing the trowel to prolonged, intense UV radiation, although the reinforced nylon is generally resistant. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
