 Nothing Better for Backpacking!! January 22, 2010
Tonefish (Albuquerque)
This thing is great!! It is super lightweight and compact and the treadeoff is that you need to keep your balance and pay attention to where you put the thing. Being careless in that regard, or not opening it correctly, are about the only ways I can imagine anyone could break one. (Well, I guess there's being obese too ... I weigh 210lb so I'm just overweight according to the BMI stuff I see out there.) There is no better self-supporting seat to take on the trail, that I've found in over 40 years of backpacking. Buy it and be smart with it and it will treat you well. I got my first one years ago and it still works great. Bought another because they had a great deal here on Amazon. It's the only one I'll put in my pack. I actually asked them to make a titanium version a few years back........ Cheers!!
 Good product September 16, 2009

I use this when motorcycle camping. It's very well made and Compact enough to fit into a saddlebag. Setup and take down is fast and easy. It's not the most stable chair that you could want but it beats sitting on the ground by a long shot. Well worth the price and I expect that this will last a lifetime. Highly recommended!

Every year my husband goes to cub scout day camp with my son and every year he comes back and says "I wish I had a small fold up stool". So for father's day I got him this one. He said it worked great and it folds up so small he fit it into the pocket of his hydration backpack so he was hands free walking around day camp. My husband said it was easy to open and close and nice and light weight. He said it was perfect for what he needed.

Bought one of these to bring on shorter backpacking trips where I wouldn't be as worried about weight.
It seemed reasonably stable and comfortable, but it just isn't rugged enough.
After sitting in the thing for a grand total of 15 minutes, one of the joints broke, rendering it a heavy piece of garbage.
The problem seemed to be that all of the stress points are made of fairly weak plastic.
Save your money, sit on your bear canister or something else.
 whoops, down I go again July 13, 2009

Having finished a 4 day backpacking trip with 2 of these stools the results are 1 stool still existing and 7 falls. We had 2 families on the trip and 4 types of stools. Though this stool was compact and lightweight, it was very fragile and difficult to balance on. The 15 year old boy was able to catch himself before falling from this stool, but 3 adults found themselves on the ground frequently. One finally snapped in half while someone was sitting in it. Recommended only for very small or lightweight people (under 125 lbs.)to use as a light, short term seating where you conciously use your legs to stay balanced.
