Heel of the boot usually does it but considering a bivi poop scoop. Does anyone else bother and what is there other than your common garden trowel?

Also looking for some more net tarp tubes (for hanging). Ukhammocks are £20. Anything cheaper out there?

Poundland sometimes have little folding trowels. Surprisingly they cost £1. Not for gram counters though.

Fiskars grp trowel http://eng-uk.fiskars.com/Products/Digg ... ansplanter I haven't got the ultra ultra lightweight psychcraziness yet so this weighs 75g when you take the orange nob off but it actually works and you don't leave an ill concealed mess behind you.

I'm slightly concerned that the GSI Cathole Trowel has a measuring scale on it? :shock:
