Backpacking Trowel

I love my Backpacking Trowel. It is one of those all purpose tools that I can’t imagine heading out onto the trail without. My top two uses for this Trowel are to dig cat holes (single use latrines) and to dig out a shallow pit for fires. I don’t want to risk my fire spreading if the wind picks up and putting the pit below grade is the first step to keep that from happening. I’ve also used this Trowel to chip ice away from streams to get to flowing water as well as to saw and chop through small branches. That cutting ability comes in handy when I need a pole arm to stick this Trowel on to turn it into a spear.

I also keep one of these in my vehicle. It is an awesome bit of Hidden Survival Gear. No one blinks or thinks twice when they see it in my vehicle. If they do ask I tell them I use it to dig cat holes or spread salt when the way is icy. The cat hole part is true, but the real reason I keep this Trowel in my vehicle is because I can stick it on the end of a pole and make a spear.

Be prepared, survive!!!!
