Poop trowel

Post by Rob S »

Made this trowel, could also be used for a heavy duty tent peg. It's 220 x 50mm, material is 2mm stainless steel. It weighs 141g even with all the holes so not the lightest option. :???:

Bit worried about the meter there. Is the trowel powered in some way? Electric-assist poo trowel? Still, why not.

That's for testing my next idea, a dynamo powered, electrically boosted auto enema. For when a bikepacker has had one too many dehydrated meals :o

^ :grin:

Re Stu's comment, I reckon if that trowel went anywhere near my backside I'd have a seriously chamfered hole myself....

Lovely work. Have you thought about going a bit Rambo on one edge to get through roots? I need a trowel upgrade after an experience last year when I couldn't get a decent cat hole done because the ground was a spider web of carbon fibre roots. I poo'ed anyway and covered it with leaves. Sorry children.

Ooh, just remembered my MYOG trowel / crud catcher from a few years ago. :-bd

@ TheBrownDog, some serrations is a good idea. I haven't got a Dremel, but I might try putting some in with a slitting disc :-bd

Like the trowel/crudcatcher Stu, how did it perform? I do like dual purpose stuff.
