The lightweight trail sweeper

Hack, chop, rake, stomp and swish beer. Dörte Tools offer high-quality and versatile trail construction tools, with a wooden handle or as a compact version that fits in your rucksack. The tool weighs only 2.5 kilograms and is made of fiberglass-plastic and aluminum segments. These can be combined with various tool heads, a saw or shovel attachments - the bottle opener is always integrated. In Switzerland, Dörte Tools are distributed by Flying Metal, but only the versions with a wooden handle. The compact tools are ordered directly from Dörte Tools.

Sawtooth helper

The pocket chainsaw was introduced five years ago and has since become one of the most popular trail tools. Lightweight and with a small pack size, you can easily cut fallen trees up to 25 centimetres in diameter from the trail, without any noise or smell. But be careful: felling trees is taboo and thicker fallen timber is a matter for the responsible forestry company. Fallen trees can also be under tension. If you are unsure, it is better to contact your trusted forester than to put yourself in danger. Hand chainsaws can be found in specialist shops or online stores.

Hemp works wonders

No, we're not talking about CBD or mind-expanding smoking products here. The long fibers of hemp in the form of a few meters of hemp twine work small trail wonders. Because instead of simply unceremoniously chopping down bushes or branches that protrude into the trails, you can simply tie them back. This fulfills the purpose of free riding without interfering with nature more than necessary. Hemp cords can be bought almost everywhere in stores, mainly in garden and hobby centers and of course in online stores.

The arm extension

What can be just as helpful in the bike backpack, but takes up little space and weighs little, are four to five meters of cord or an equally long piece of used climbing rope. Heavy, broken branches or small fallen trees are often difficult to grab in order to pull them aside. By attaching a rope with a few hand loops to the fallen wood, several people can grasp it efficiently without getting in each other's way or in the way of the wood. Rope cords can be found online or in your nearest mountain sports shop.

Scythe man light

No, the old-fashioned grass-cutting tool is still a handy tool for efficiently clearing trails of all kinds of overgrown greenery. The hand scythe or sickle fits in your rucksack and is perfect for cutting passages of nettles, vines or wild brambles from trails with little traffic, without any noise or emissions. If you don't want to do this casually on an after-work ride, but explicitly, choose the two-handed version of a forest scythe with a short, retractable cutting blade and aluminum handle. Such scythes and sickles are available in practically all tool and online shops
