Title: Good 3 legged stool???
Post by: Bullfrog 1 on November 07, 2013, 10:23:00 AM
Looking for a simple 3 legged stool for a ground blind. Would like it to swivel. Any suggestions? Thanks.   BILL

Looking for something smaller. See many like the Niff-T-seat?

The nifty seat is handy, but small and no back rest.  Good for a short sit, but not much more than an hour for me.

when the Huntmore 360 came out I told myself I would never pay $200 for a hunting seat. Well after hunting from the ground a lot, I finally realized you need to stay absolutely still. The only way to accomplish that is to be comfortable..... HUNTMORE 360. I't worth the money.

Before you buy, look at the seat from Blind Ambitions. Swivels, is quiet, much easier to set up than the huntmore, lighter weight, carries easily fully adjustable...each leg independently. I like mine.
Sat in a huntmore, and they are comfortable, but seem quite awkward to set up...then there's the squeak issues...all solveable I'm sure...but these are just options for ya.
Also just saw a post here for a new stool made by a trad gang member from LA. Don't remember the name, but it had 2 sizes of pedestals. Looked cool.
Someone else here will remember the post and ID it for you.

It doesn't swivel, but the absolute best 3 legged stool without a doubt is the "Walkstool". Weighs only 30 ounces and 4 of them will hold up an automobile. It ain't cheap though

Bill, just got home from hunting and my new walkstool was here in the box.  My 6 year old stool got a bend in one of the tubes and the leg couldn't go back in, but I still use it.  Got a 20% discount free shipping from Duluth Trading so I ordered the new one.  When I told the woman about mine, she said I will send you a return label as our products are guaranteed for life.  Getting full refund.  I surely can live with that.

Found an aluminum faolding chair in the woods once and it works good with the padding I put on the seat and the back rest.  Cost = had to carry it out of the woods.

Another Walkstool fan here. Simple, quiet, sturdy and a big seat. Comes in several different heights.

How's it going Schick!?

Hello Steve, it's been awhile since the clinic.  Just finished packing up my walkstool and will ship it back on tuesday.  I will keep my old sleeve for it, as the newer one is a mesh that I really don't like.

I too have the Walkstool from Duluth Trading . It is a fine piece of workmanship and so light and easy to carry. Not cheap in any way. If you want high quality and low weight and function I would highly recommend it.

God bless, Steve

One of the best things about the Walkstool is how little it weighs. Check it out.

I have had the Walkstool that is 26 inches high for several years and would not be without it. I ordered the 26 incher because the height makes it much easier for an over weight old coot to get up off of. The seat measures 16 inches per each side which fits my rear pretty well.   :D

This is one example of a chair that looks exactly like the Duluth Trading Company "Walkstool"
I don't know if the quality is the same, but it sells for $18.39.
Never has been anything inexpensive about DTC.
Neither of these chairs has adjustable anything or a backrest, but if it's comfortable for you, then it's good.

I may try one of these next year. Kind of heavy but nice height adjustments.
