Cooped Up? Get Uncooped.

A couple of years ago, while walking the floor of the Outdoor Retailer, I found the Walkstool, a nicely designed, portable stool imported from Scandinavia. A couple of days ago, while navigating the website of another prominent outdoor show (Outdoor Friedrichshafen), I came across a handy Walkstool accessory. The Steady is a simple add-on that holds the ends of the legs to prevent the stool from sinking into soft ground and to make it more stable all around. The company says it's good for "big people" in need of a portable seat and those that want extra stability on slick surfaces. It works with all Walkstool Comfort models, and Amazon has it for $25.
