The Deuce of Spades continues to improve: now in three sizes: #1 - .45oz, #2 - the classic - .60oz and #3 - .97oz An excellent aid to leave no trace backpacking - it really helps you doo-doo the right thing. Its large scoop makes mockery of tent stakes or trekking poles for digging. Use the length to gauge if your cat-hole is deep enough. Strong and tough, they're made of US-produced, aerospace grade 7075-T6 aluminum. This alloy meets mil-spec AMS4045 so it's not just "7075-T6," it's HIGH STRENGTH 7075-T6 which is almost impossible to get in other countries, especially China. BEWARE of knockoffs!
