ALPS Mountaineering Rhino Stool

This chair is the ticket for refting trips. It seems too many take along the big bulky, heavy chairs, filling the raft with an extra 100 lbs of chair. I figure to go smaller is better, plus it gets you off the ground.

from the pictures, this looked like a nice camp stool that you could latch onto a pack. Kind of like the GSI ones I see at local trail stores. This thing is huge, and its really uncomfortable. It doesnt let you scoot back in the chair at all, so you are sitting mostly on the horn of the chair, where your crotch is bearing alot of the weight. Not cool. sending it back.

While it is certainly too heavy and bulky for backpacking, it is great for tailgating, day trips by car, picnics, boating and float fishing, photography (blinds and events), fishing (wader removal), sporting events, spare use for guests when road camping, bird and animal watching, and other similar uses. While not a chair for lounging or kicking back in camp, it is comfortable for short time use, compact enough for car trunk or hatchback, and very sturdy.

Feels very small, and seating is too upright for comfort.
