InventHelp Client Debuts Hike & Hide, a 3-in-1 Outdoor Tool

Pittsburgh – September 19, 2026 -- An inventor from Nampa, Idaho, has developed the Hike & Hide, a multipurpose attachment that combines a trowel, stake driver, and trekking pole accessory into a single lightweight tool, according to a submission filed with InventHelp.

Device merges three camping tools into one trekking pole attachment

The invention adds a trowel head to a standard trekking pole, allowing users to anchor and remove tent stakes, retrieve dropped stakes or poles, dig a cat hole, extinguish campfires, and garden without bending. The design eliminates the need for a separate hammer when driving stakes into the ground.
