Folding Camping Stool with Storage Bag

Standing around is the part of camping nobody plans for. You get the tent up and the fire going, and then everyone is perched on a cooler lid or crouched in the dirt because there is nowhere to sit. This stool fixes that without eating half your trunk. It opens in one motion and folds flat in about the same time, so it is worth bringing even on trips where space is tight.

The seat is tear-resistant oxford fabric stretched over metal tubing. That combination is why it feels solid rather than wobbly when you shift your weight, and the frame resists corrosion, so damp ground and salt air will not chew it up over a season. It is light enough to carry in one hand on the walk from the car down to the water.

Underneath the seat there is a storage bag, and that turns out to be the detail people notice most. Keys, a phone, pliers, a bag of bait, a paperback: they go in the bag instead of the grass. Choose the small 26 x 23 cm seat for packing light, or the 30 x 26.5 cm for a roomier perch. It works just as well as a footrest by the fire, a spare seat at a barbecue, or a step stool in a cupboard at home.

• Tear-resistant oxford seat holds its shape trip after trip instead of sagging out.
• Metal tube frame resists corrosion, so damp campsites and coastal air are not a problem.
• Folds in seconds down to a flat shape that slides into a pack or behind a car seat.
• Storage bag under the seat keeps your phone, keys and small tools off the ground.
• Two sizes, 26 x 23 cm or 30 x 26.5 cm so you can trade packed size for legroom.
• One stool per set supplied with its storage bag, ready to use out of the box.
