Pretty cool novelty

I couldn't give this 5 stars because I almost cut the end of my finger off getting the iPood trowel open/closed. It is a little finicky to work with. However, it works fine for its purpose and is super light and packable. If you like cool, novelty named gear...this is good...and certainly a conversation piece. I always get a laugh out of my fellow hikers when I break out the iPood. If you are really, really into saving every little bit of space, it's nice to put TP or matches or whatever you can fit into the iPood handle.

I keep a spare lighter and some fire starting material in a small ziplok bag, and put that in the handle. In a pinch, the iPood could be used as a cutting tool (sorry about your finger) to get a fire going.
