Yet it weighs a fraction of what other full sized trowels weigh. New Improved Design All new 2018 Deuces® feature four teeth on the leading edge of the blade that are just right for slicing small roots as you run into them at the bottom of your hole and for making progress in hard clay (a dirt type that's vexing for anything but a pickaxe). The teeth are also FIELD MAINTAINABLE - you can resharpen them with a rock. Also new, the handle has small ripples to improve friction and grip. About our Manufacturing Please note that some Deuces are made in the US and some are made in Korea by DAC (the premier tent pole maker in the world). The quality and lifetime guarantee is exactly the same regardless of where your Deuce is manufactured. A quick glance at the photo or the color name will tell you where that exact model/color you've selected is manufactured. ## Features - About this item - Made in USA - First, save yourself a ton of time and use the Deuce UPSIDE-DOWN to probe the top 3-4” for rocks or roots that might spoil your poop-hole location; probing like this is a fantastic and unique feature of the Deuce; right-side-up, the scoop is large enough to quickly remove dirt; further into the hole, use it upside-down again to break up hard dirt and pry out rocks; it provides up to a 4x increase in digging power when used this way - Three models; #1 is the lightest at .45oz (the weight of just 2 1/2 teaspoon of water) for only the most fanatical weight fanatics; the #2 is the backpacker’s classic, .6 oz (just over the weight of 1 tablespoon of water) for more normal weight fanatics (2.5 X 6.8 inches); and the #3, a .97oz beast; big, strong and most capable of handling truly awful hole-digging situations (2.6 X 8 inches); use the length to gauge the hole depth; full 6” to 8” deep is a proper forest poop hole - Made in the US and S.

Warranty no good in U.S. *by P***W on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2017* It is lite. A bit rough on hand digging in dirt. Did I say it is light. I love the weight savings in my hand. Broke this on a root. $3.00 postage in Canada to replace, $9.95 postage in U.S. To replace under warrenty. If you live in U.S. find something else. They claim only .006% failure rate but won't honor warranty without it costing half of what it cost to get with free shipping. Wish could give a negative review. ### ⭐⭐ Love the idea *by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2017* Love the idea, weight is great, but it's a little too short to get good leverage on anything tougher than sand. It bent almost every time I used it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best on the market: ultralight, durable, affordable, & effective! *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2018* The Deuce(R) Ultralight Backpacking Potty Trowel (Size #1) is a superb choice for an ultralight backpacking trowel. It's just as light or LIGHTER than the much more expensive titanium trowels on the market. It's thinness makes it very effective at penetrating moderately hard dirt. It's shape gives it adequate durability to do the job (provided you use it correctly per the directions), and digging with the handle side down definitely allows it to penetrate better into hard/compact soil.No, this isn't going to be as comfortable as a proper trowel with a full, ergonomic handle. That's not it's purpose. It is MUCH easier to use than a stick or trekking pole, and it is as effective as any other of the half dozen "backpacking"/ultralight trowels I've used over the years. Working in its favor is that it comes in many colors (if you care about that; I don't), weighs less, costs much less, and works just as well as any of the competition.What don't I like? Well, with this kind of uber-thin metal design, it's not going to be ergonomic. Pressing hard on the handle (or worse, on the pointed tip when digging with it inverted) is moderately uncomfortable. However, unless you're in a hurry, it isn't outright painful and the thin edges penetrate surprisingly well through compact soil and also small to medium roots. Of course, you'll want to try to find an area with relatively loose soil and few roots, if possible, as that makes it substantially easier to dig with any trowel, but especially these minimalist kind.What do I love? It absolutely disappears in my pack. I keep mine stored alongside a roll of toilet paper inside a 5L sea-to-summit ultralight dry bag. You can't even tell it's there because the curved shape "spoons" around the toilet roll and disappears. The metal is thin, but the edges are not so sharp that I have any concern about it wearing/piercing through the dry bag. It's wonderful. There when you need it, but out of sight and out of mind when you don't.Not sure what else to say. When you consider value, performance, weight, and style all together, I think this is the best minimalist trowel available on the market today. As long as you understand that a minimalist trowel is always a bit of tradeoff ergonomically (and don't expect it to do anything more than dig a proper cat-hole for relieving yourself, or perhaps move hot coals around a small fire), this is the one to get! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/64331140-thetentlab-new-improved-deuce-r-ultralight-backpacking-potty-trowel-now](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/64331140-thetentlab-new-improved-deuce-r-ultralight-backpacking-potty-trowel-now) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
