Designed for serious backpackers and outdoor pros, it features a unique reversible scoop for efficient probing and digging, smooth edges for comfort, and anodized finishes for durability and style. Backed by a lifetime warranty, it’s the ultimate Leave No Trace companion that blends cutting-edge materials with practical innovation. ## Description The Deuceof Spades(tm) Ultralight Backpacking Trowel is made in three models - each different in thickness, size and weight - but all are crazy-lightweight and made of extremely strong US-made aerospace grade 7075-T6 aluminum (strength that also allows tumbling and deburring, BTW). SIZE #1 - .45oz - 6.5"x2.4" - for EXTREME weight fanatics ONLY – those willing to work with the ins and outs of their gear to get the most out of it (be sure to see the directions in the photo section). SIZE #2 - .60oz - 6.8"x2.5" - The Backpacker's favorite version nicely straddles the line between weight fanaticism (.6 ounces - POINT six ounces!) and comfort. The original groundbreaking *ahem* trowel that was the first in the world that made for using upside down for probingand prying (see Advanced Techniques photo above). SIZE #3 - .97oz - 8"x2.6" - our full-sized trowel – bigger and stronger, a real beast that digs and prys easily, fast and comfortably - even in difficult rocky ground. Yet it weighs UNDER an ounce - a fraction of what other full sized trowels weigh. 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. Review: The Deuce of Spades: When you’ve got to go, when you’re on the go. - I bought one of these for my recent section hike of the Pacific Crest Trail and ask you this question: If you’re planning a hike and you don’t have the Deuce of Spades Ultralight Backpack Trowel, are you even hiking?! At a featherweight 0.6 oz (17g), this trowel is so light that I almost forgot I was carrying it - until nature called, of course! Digging Deep: Let’s be honest, when you’re out in the wild, sometimes you need to dig a hole faster than a squirrel on caffeine. The Deuce of Spades is like the superhero of trowels—swift, efficient, and ready to save the day (or at least your dignity). I found myself channeling my inner archaeologist as I dug with this bad boy, unearthing nothing but the satisfaction of a job well done. Sturdy Yet Stylish: Made from high-quality materials, this trowel is tougher than it looks. I half expected it to sprout a cape and start flying around, but alas, it remained firmly in my hand, ready to tackle any terrain. It’s so sturdy that I’m convinced it could double as a makeshift weapon against any rogue critters trying to steal my snacks. Leave No Trace, Literally: The Deuce of Spades is not just a trowel; it’s a commitment to responsible hiking. With this tool, I felt like a true environmental warrior, ensuring that my “business” didn’t leave a trace. Versatile and Compact: This trowel is so compact that I could fit it in my pocket, which is great because you never know when you might need to dig a hole or, you know, defend yourself against an overly curious squirrel. In conclusion, if you’re heading out on the PCT or any other trail, do yourself a favor and grab the Deuce of Spades Ultralight Backpack Trowel. It’s lightweight, durable, and will make your backcountry bathroom breaks feel like a walk in the park (well, sort of). Trust me, your future self will thank you - especially when you’re not doing the “I need to find a spot” dance! Review: Best Ultralight Trowel on Market - Deuce of Spades are the most lightweight, best trowels on the market. The small size and light weight makes it ideal for backpacking. It’s also quite sturdy! Makes digging catholes or digging out ash in fire pits easy. I’ve even hit hard and rocky dirt and the trowel held up (even though I ultimately could not dig a sufficient cathole, BUT the trowel did not break or divot). Very functional, easy to use, and a great price, too. ## Features - 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. Korea of aerospace grade, US-produced 7075-T6 aluminum that meets the AMS4045 standard (the alloy alone does not guarantee high strength); the go-to aluminum for satellites and aircraft; HIGH STRENGTH aluminum makes high strength products; this grade of aluminum is available in only a handful of countries with technology and quality driven supply chains; manufacturer’s lifetime warranty - Tumbled and fully de-burred; smooth, rounded edges and shape is much more comfortable that angular shapes and raw die-cut edges - Anodized in fun colors to prevent corrosion and surface damage; prevents dark smudges from bare aluminum on your hands; have some fun, pick a color like you would a lolipop; these trowels really help you doo-doo the right thing; a great Leave No Trace aid ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07YYNXL38 | | Best Sellers Rank | #95,179 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #47 in Camping Shovels | | Blade Material | aerospace grade 7075-T6 aluminium | | Brand | TheTentLab | | Brand Name | TheTentLab | | Color | Green | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,215 Reviews | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | Aluminum | | Is Foldable | No | | Item Dimensions | 2.87 x 2.56 x 0.67 inches | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 2.87 x 2.56 x 0.67 inches | | Manufacturer | TheTentLab | | Manufacturer Part Number | D-0-0000 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | lifetime manufacturer's | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model Number | D-0-0000 | | Style | Classic | | Style Name | Classic | | UPC | 795152929513 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Aluminum - **Brand:** TheTentLab - **Color:** Fire! - **Grip Type:** standard - **Handle Material:** Aluminum - **Is Foldable:** No - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7.7 x 2.6 x 0.75 inches - **Material:** Aluminum - **Style:** Classic - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![TheTentLab(R Deuce(R) Ultralight Backpacking Potty Trowel in 3 Sizes (#2, Green, .6oz) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xySFXlfZL.jpg) ![TheTentLab(R Deuce(R) Ultralight Backpacking Potty Trowel in 3 Sizes (#2, Green, .6oz) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71v42lrrGlL.jpg) ![TheTentLab(R Deuce(R) Ultralight Backpacking Potty Trowel in 3 Sizes (#2, Green, .6oz) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81H+ey6YNBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Deuce of Spades: When you’ve got to go, when you’re on the go. *by J***W on September 24, 2024* I bought one of these for my recent section hike of the Pacific Crest Trail and ask you this question: If you’re planning a hike and you don’t have the Deuce of Spades Ultralight Backpack Trowel, are you even hiking?!

The small size and light weight makes it ideal for backpacking. It’s also quite sturdy! Makes digging catholes or digging out ash in fire pits easy. I’ve even hit hard and rocky dirt and the trowel held up (even though I ultimately could not dig a sufficient cathole, BUT the trowel did not break or divot). Very functional, easy to use, and a great price, too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best on the market: ultralight, durable, affordable, & effective! *by C***R 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! ## Frequently Bought Together - TheTentLab(R Deuce(R) of Spades™Ultralight Backpack Trowel in Three Sizes (#2, Fire!, .6oz) - Sawyer Products SP129 Squeeze Water Filtration System w/ Two 32-Oz Squeeze Pouches, Straw, and Hydration Pack Adapter - TOAKS Titanium 750ml Pot --- ## 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.us/products/67999465-thetentlab-r-deuce-r-ultralight-backpacking-potty-trowel-in-3](https://www.desertcart.us/products/67999465-thetentlab-r-deuce-r-ultralight-backpacking-potty-trowel-in-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
