• You CAN fly with it in your carry-on - it’s under 7” long
What a simple yet amazing tool. Lightweight, strong, and able to handle a big of a job you can drop on it. Highly recommend and will always be in my pack.

Does its job!
I was dubious that something so light/thin would be durable enough for the rocky soils where I typically hike. So far, so good! Very happy with this little trowel :-)

the little shovel that can
This is a great product. Well designed, lightweight, strong enough for what it is, as long as you use it per their recommendations.
