Amazing Service

Because you deserve it.

Due to BPA concerns, GSI Outdoors has ceased to use Lexan polycarbonate in its tableware. Rather than allowing old product to end up in a landfill, GSI Outdoors has recycled the Lexan to build the Cathole Trowel, a sturdy backcountry tool.

Description

Due to BPA concerns, GSI Outdoors has ceased to use virtually unbreakable Lexan polycarbonate in its tableware and food storage products. Rather than allowing old product and materials to end up in a landfill, GSI Outdoors has landed on the perfect solution by recycling the Lexan and unveiling the Cathole Trowel, a durable backcountry tool. Serrated edges make for easy digging even in the most stubborn soil.

GSI Outdoors is donating 1% of the sales of the Cathole Trowel to Leave No Trace, an organization dedicated to the responsible enjoyment and active stewardship of the outdoors. Leave No Trace usage guidelines are molded into the back of each Cathole Trowel. NOTE: Due to the use of recycled content, colors may vary slightly.

  • Recycled polycarbonate construction
  • NOTE: Due to the use of recycled content, colors may vary slightly.
  • Serrated edges for easy digging
  • Leave No Trace usage guidelines molded onto back of trowel
  • Weighs 3.1 oz

Does Exactly What Is Expected

Likes

Super affordable, very durable, and easy to use. Exactly what is expected with the purchase.

Dislikes

Slightly bulky, so it's hard to find a perfect spot for it in my pack. Also not the most lightweight, but you're paying 1/4 of the price of the Tentlab "Deuce"

Works fine, but camouflage-colored.

Likes

Recycled, lightweight, has measurements on it. Works just like it's supposed to.

Dislikes

Not bright green like the product picture. The one I received is more of a brown/dark green swirl, meaning it is camouflaged outside. We almost left it behind at one campsite! This is probably due to being made from recycled materials, though, and you can easily clip something bright to it to give it some visibility.

Pooper scooper!

Likes

Well it digs holes pretty good, and it has measurements on it that come in handy. I also like that it has instructions for use which could come in handy for people who don't know what they are doing.

Dislikes

It's a little heavy for what it is.

This trowel is well made and appears to be sturdy enough to "take care of business". I like that it is recycled from other plastic products. I will find out about its durability next weekend when I take it on its first mission. Until then it looks 'solid'.

Dislikes

I was kind of thinking my trowel would be transparent green like the one pictured. Mine was black. It'll perform it's duty though so that's just a minor nit pick.

Lightweight

Dislikes

Although it seems pretty tough, seems somewhat flimsy when trying to dig in very hard dirt.

Plastic material can not be used to shovel ashes. My next shovel will be metal.
