I have one of these but the ground around here is usually pretty soft. Is it better to use a regular trowel that has a pointed in or this rounded thing in more difficult soil? Thanks.

There are other options that don't add weight…
sticks, tent stakes, your heel, ?
I have a couple Montbell scoops. One stays in my backpacing gear and gets occasional use, the other is in the kitchen. Best ice cream scoop ever!
I had a montbell and it was all right. But the harder/rockier soil in the sierras where I usually hike was too tough for it. After losing the montbell half way through a JMT trip I switched to a titanium nail peg. It breaks up the soil much easier and I haven't switched back.
Sometimes I am to obtuse for my own good. I can use my titanium 'V' stakes.
I too own a MontBell scoop — but much more often, I just use the heel of my boots.
Yeah, but I wear Chacos for pretty much everything nowadays. Not the same really but they can make a dent.
