The Prairie Dog Shovel is an ultralight backpacking trowel that will earn its place in your pack. Weighing only .6oz (17grams), and free from sharp/snaggy edges, this essential outdoor tool will get shoved into your front pocket every time.
This innovative piece of gear can be used from either end of the tool depending on soil conditions. The wide-end of the shovel is highly effective for loose soil or sand, whereas the narrow-end pierces and pries its way through more difficult substrates.
The Prairie Dog is made in the USA from aircraft grade 7075-T6 anodized aluminum, making it highly durable, light, and corrosion resistant.
Every piece of gear in your pack has the chance to be awesome when it's go time, even the lowly backpacking shovel. The Prairie Dog is engineered with purpose, manufactured by craftsman, and created using the finest materials available. The result is a beautifully functional backpacking trowel that you will appreciate each time you use it.

Superb.
Carried this the full length of my 2021 PCT thru. Loved it, not a single complaint. Going to carry on an upcoming CDT attempt.
Worked great
I used this on our section hike of the TRT. Worked great. No issues with roots or rocks. I like the simplistic design. I only had to use the wide end. Nice and compact and packs easily around the other items in my Space Bags emoji pouch.
Light, simple and effective
Really easy to use without hurting your hands, an issue I've had with every other ultralight trowel. Narrow end works great on roots and rocks, but you will end up dirtying your hands when you flip it around. I wash my hands after a cathole visit either way.
Great and lightweight
Used this a few times now. Holding up well and I like the design. As good as it gets.
The product is great. The image is little bit misleading. The black zip ties are not part of the delivery. You only will get the shovel.
