Designed with Leave No Trace (LNT) principles in mind, this updated version is 22% lighter than previous models, ensuring portability without compromising digging power.

Key Specifications & Architecture

• Weight: Exceptionally light at just 68 grams (2.4 oz).
• Dimensions: Measures 14 cm (5.5 in) when collapsed and extends fully to 24.5 cm (9.5 in).
• Material: Molded from ultra-tough glass-reinforced Nylon 66, capable of withstanding extremely cold winter temperatures and easily cutting through hard-packed, rocky dirt and small roots.

Core Features

• Retractable Design:
  Features a large, glove-friendly push-button release, allowing the handle to slide completely flat inside the blade cavity. This design ensures it fits effortlessly into side backpack pockets without bulging.
• Built-In Depth Gauge:
  The blade includes integrated depth markings, and the fully extended length serves as a visual guide to ensure you achieve the 6-to-8-inch (15-to-20 cm) minimum depth required for a proper backcountry cat hole.
• Hollow Storage Pod:
  The handle includes a secure, hollow compartment, perfectly sized to store small dry essentials like emergency toilet tissue, a lighter, or hand sanitizer.
• Easy Cleanup:
  The high-melting-point nylon construction allows for easy sterilization by running the shovel blade directly under boiling water.
