Product detailed description

The Tent Lab DirtSaw Deuce #2 Toilet Scoop

It is an updated version of the The Tent Lab Deuce Backpacking Trowel.& nbsp;Unlike its predecessor, this trowel features "teeth" around its entire circumference that function like a saw. This makes it much easier to cut through roots in the soil and dig holes. I assume that everyone reading this tries to follow the rule “take out what you bring in” during their time in nature, so I don’t need to elaborate on this clear ethical principle. We all enjoy spending our free time in nature, and none of us certainly wants to encounter piles of discarded plastic bottles, snack wrappers, and the like in the woods. Globally, this topic is quite comprehensively covered by the principles of the Leave No Trace project, but here it is still a relatively unknown concept.

Where to put the poop

There is, however, one topic that a large number of people still overlook. I’m assuming that we don’t always go on just day trips, so it’s hard to avoid this. Sometimes it’s just bound to happen. The disposal of our waste is still something many people simply “slack off” on. The “I’ll just hide behind a tree or a rock over there and that’s it” approach isn’t really ideal. Yet most people still handle it this way, and the forests look the part. While wandering through the Czech lowlands, I’m constantly surprised by the disgusting sight of piles of toilet paper, wet wipes, and the like lying around. And you really don’t want that!

Bury

Deeply burying our waste should therefore be an absolute must. No, it really isn’t enough to just cover it with leaves or a rock. That’s how more people will think, and nobody wants to accidentally discover “treasures” somewhere under a rock or find out in the morning while packing up the tent what you’ve been sleeping on. Also, keep in mind that you’re leaving behind a certain scent trail that will attract wildlife, and they’re capable of finding these “gifts.” Bears, for example, absolutely love turning over rocks. Hiking as a whole is experiencing a huge boom, but if we want to preserve even a little bit of that wilderness without litter and human waste lying around, our approach to waste management should be more responsible.

The Tent Lab DirtSaw Deuce #2 toilet shovel is a bestseller in the hiking community. It’s more or less unknown here, but in the U.S., it’s a standard item found in every backpack on longer trips.

Durable material and thoughtful design

Every enthusiastic "gram-cutter" will love its amazing weight of just 17 grams! Despite its low weight, the craftsmanship is nearly flawless. A lot of thought went into the design of this piece, and it shows. The moment you touch it, you’ll be surprised by its perfect strength, which is ensured by the 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. So you don’t have to worry about breaking the shovel while digging. But it’s clear that with anything that’s ultralight, you have to handle it a little more “gently.” The scoop is shaped to be used on both sides. The narrower end is used to mark the hole and cut through roots, etc. The wider end is then used to scoop out the contents. The scoop can also be used as a tent peg—see the photo in the gallery.   The video shows an older version of the toilet trowel The Tent Lab Deuce Backpacking Trowel
