I currently have a nylon gardening trowel in my gear, which weighs near-to-nothing and yet has been quite serviceable. I use it for digging cat-holes and putting out small campfires.
I also keep a compact snow shovel in my car from September until June, as I live where early or late storms can be rather unpredictable.
