Why We Like it
-
- It turns a frustrating chore into a quick task, even in brutal, pine-root-choked forest floors.
- The saw teeth double as a root cutter, saving you from having to hack at the dirt with your trekking poles or pocket knife.
- Still incredibly lightweight, it gives you true heavy-duty digging power for just a few extra grams.
The Tradeoff
-
- The sharp, aggressive serrations require careful packing; you will want to store it in an external mesh pocket or use a sheath to protect delicate fabrics like DCF or silnylon.
Who its for
-
- Backpackers who frequently camp in dense forests, alpine zones, or rocky environments where digging a proper 6-inch cathole is notoriously difficult.
Rikkar Take
-
- If you’ve ever spent ten minutes struggling to dig a proper hole in hard-packed dirt while trying to follow Leave No Trace principles, this is your solution.Â
