ALPS Mountaineering Tri-Leg Camp Stool

I bought a couple of these in blue 5-6 years ago from Sierra Trading Post. As backpackers who are now over 50, we appreciate the luxury items like inflatable sleeping pads and these camp stools, and are willing to each carry 40-50 lbs to have some creature comforts (even canned wine!). At 2 lbs each, they are not for the ultra-light types, but they are always one of the first things to be broken out when we set up camp, and the last things to be broken down. So convenient, easy to set up, sturdy, and the shoulder strap (though we've never used them that way) would be handy to sling over your shoulder for a day at the beach, etc. They have been on many trips over the years, and I would totally trust them to hold a 200+ pound person. My boyfriend is about 185 lbs, and although he'd probably prefer it to be a little taller, he is completely comfortable sitting on one.

Great buy, great price, quality brand. Now that we have them, I can't imagine backpacking without them!
