The Dig Dig

Product Review:  The Vargo Titanium Dig Dig Tool

Ever wished you had a small, versatile tool that could handle any digging task, from setting up camp to tending your garden? Enter the Vargo Titanium Dig Dig Tool, a multi-talented wonder that punches far above its weight (or lack thereof, at a mere 1.2 ounces!). I've owned and loved several of these little workhorses for years, and they've never let me down.


Sure, the Dig Dig Tool excels as a backpacking companion. Its compact size (8.1 x 1.7 inches) fits snugly in any pack, and the rugged titanium construction takes whatever punishment you throw at it, from rocky soil to frozen ground. But its usefulness extends far beyond the campsite.

  1. Digging Powerhouse:  Take a look at what this tool can do just for quick digging!
    • Ergonomic Design: Forget clunky trowels that dig into your palm. The Dig Dig Tool's ergonomic handle feels comfortable even during extended use.
    • Serrated Edges: Say goodbye to struggling with roots and tough soil. The serrated edges slice through like butter, making digging your cathole a breeze.
  2. Tent Stake Titan:  Don't be fooled by its size. The Dig Dig Tool's wide U-shape design anchors your tent securely in sand, snow, and even hard-packed soil, providing peace of mind even in windy conditions.
  3. Unexpected Hero:  The Dig Dig Tool's versatility shines in unexpected ways. I've used mine for everything from digging snow out from under my car to planting bulbs in my garden. It's become my go-to tool for any small digging or scraping task, both indoors and outdoors.

A Few Nitpicks:  While I adore the Dig Dig Tool, it's not perfect. The lack of a carrying pouch means you'll need to find a way to secure it in your pack. Also, the sharp edges, while great for digging, can snag on fabrics, so be mindful when storing or packing.

The tool... not the game!

Overall:  The Vargo Titanium Dig Dig Tool is a must-have for any outdoor enthusiast, prepper, or even just someone who appreciates a well-made, multi-functional tool. Its lightweight design, impressive digging capabilities, and surprising versatility make it a true pocket powerhouse. At around $25, it's an investment that will pay off for years to come.
