I've had the metal blade version of this for years and perfectly good it is too, but my greatest regret is that S2S had to change the original name - no doubt after a sternly worded letter from that Californian mega corp with more cash on it books than God - as they were originally and wonderfully called the "iPood".

Surely a solution looking for a problem? I just use the heel of my boot to kick a bit of a hole in the ground before dumping into it. One less thing to carry.

Probably not deep enough to keep your poo from coming back to the surface during heavy rain, if an animal digs it up, or to keep the topsoil from squelching into it if someone steps on it.

To be honest I doubt a lightweight plastic trowel is going to get a great deal deeper than my heel. Doing it somewhere out of the way where it shouldn't get stepped on helps.

You'd be (pleasantly) surprised - I've had the equivalent coghlans version for 15 odd years and it is much better than the alternatives, i.e. boots, stones or sticks, and it's quicker.

Or it could be that as an archaeologist, I find digging a hole with a trowel second nature...

Ooh, maybe there's a new life for my 4" pointing trowel (largely retired since I drifted more into ancient history than archaeology), but I actually use an MSR snow stake as my 'poo trowel'

I got a plastic one from wilkos for about two quid, doesn't fold but does have a cavity for paper. It has a much more pronounced v shape, which I though was better for digging hard ground, this much less so.

Can the boulder brush review be far behind?

If it's still got enough blade left, then absolutely - or come back to fieldwork
