Dig a cathole without the drama
Nobody enjoys talking about backcountry toileting, but the fact is, if you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go. This Pocket Trowel is made from tough anodised aluminium that'll dig through rocky soil without bending, and the handle has storage space for a lighter or emergency loo roll, allowing you to do your business whilst leaving no trace. It weighs next to nothing and packs flat enough to slide into a side pocket without making your pack bulge weirdly. The business end is shaped for efficient digging, which means you're not crouched there for twenty minutes trying to excavate a decent-sized hole whilst hoping nobody walks past. Available in two sizes depending on whether you're going ultralight or want something totally poonami-proof.

What is it that attracts us to the idea of adventure? For Sea to Summit, it’s about freedom and self-reliance – the ability not just to survive, but to thrive in any environment. But although the brand takes its gear seriously, it does so with trademark Aussie humour and blunt, no bullsh*t candour. That’s the way it’s always been, ever since founder Roland Tyson made his first outdoor gear on an old industrial sewing machine in his childhood bedroom back in 1983, at the age of 17. Soon he was designing and manufacturing equipment for other Australian adventurers – and in 1991, he outfitted an unusual first ascent of Everest, in the form of a 1,126 kilometre journey from sea level to the mountain’s 8,848-metre summit. The name Sea to Summit was born.
In 1993, Roland was joined by Penny Sanderson, another Aussie explorer and innovator. Their designs were honed on their adventures, as they spent months climbing, sailing, trekking, overlanding and biking. Nearly thirty years later, Sea to Summit is still 100% Aussie owned and operated, and still putting painstakingly designed gear into the hands of customers worldwide.
