Ultralight Camping Trowel

Description
When that Mountain House Lasagna you had for dinner last night hits you, grab this ultralight trowel and start digging! The trowel weighs just over 17g and is an essential tool for anyone traveling in the backcountry. Features a lightweight design, serrated edges for cutting through roots, and measures just under 6" tall (Leave no trace camping recommends a hole 6-8" deep). Remember to dig your hole 200 feet from water and trails.
I have dug a hole deeper than 6" with this trowel, however I cannot say how well it will hold up over time. The soil was hard packed with rocks and roots and I did not see any wear on the trowel. I recommend printing this in PETG for strength and durability.
