TheTentLab - The Deuce® Backcountry Potty Trowel - #1
TheTentLab - The Deuce® Backcountry Potty Trowel - #1
The Deuce #1 is an updated version of our Limited Edition Deuce from last year. So we know that, for the right customer, the Deuce #1 is a satisfying and capable tool.
But, the Deuce #1 isn't for everyone. It’s made of thinner material than a regular Deuce® and it’s very slightly smaller. That's why it weighs 25% less — guaranteed to weigh no more than .45oz (12.8 grams). Since it’s made out of thinner material, the owner must be the kind of person who learns the ins and outs of their gear and works with it to get the most out of it. For that reason we are calling it FOR FANATICS ONLY. In this case that means they’re committing to using it handle-down regularly and being just a little careful to not over-flex the handle the wrong way. In return they get a mind-bogglingly lightweight piece of gear that is in a class by itself.
Features:
- Designed for gram-counting fanatics willing to sacrifice some ease of use for weight savings; recreational backpackers may prefer the strength of the #2 or #3 trowel
- Regularly using this trowel requires using "Advanced Techniques"; see User Manual on this page for details and instructions
- 4 teeth on the leading edge of the blade are just right for working through small roots and hard clay; teeth can be resharpened with a rock for easy backcountry maintenance
