Fade Gear Stool

[Jeasy13]

I just checked Dicks sporting website texsport tripod $9.99

Academy has tripod stools for $5. I went through 2 of them before I made an investment in a quality made product.

I'm still trying to justify a walk stool. Or a stool at all (just stand?).

i used to buy the cheap stools and lost maybe 2-3 of them in the woods. shank a bad shot, go in looking for my disc, and come out of the woods without my stool. figured if i spent a bit of money on one that i'd pay more attention to keeping track of it and haven't lost it yet. but it only gets used a few times a year at tournaments.

to be honest when i do carry my stool i use it more for sitting my bag on it than actually sitting on it myself.

The indentation on the top of the stool looks very similar to Camp times. I like the Aircraft Spec Bronze Anodized Aluminum Legs but i'm not sure if it's worth the extra 5 ounces it added to the stool as the camp time weights in at 23oz.

It's not hard to imagine that the seat-top was sourced from the same manufacturer. Camptime/NRS seems to always be Blue only. Keeps costs down to only have 1 color.
DD has had black and teal options. (Though the teal does appear to have the camp time badging.)
Get tops, get different stock aluminum tubing, and bam, you get your own stool. I'm curious if you guys can find out what alloy of aluminum Fade is using. Oh, and $.10 worth of webbing for a handle. I think I'll do that to my stool when it comes this weekend...(bought from GGGT via amazon, shipping was cheaper, by alot.)

Also, all those cheaper ones, the seat is smaller. So unless you position yourself perfectly, the back leg (which will be infront of you) will dig into your scrotum. Which sucks.

I'm still trying to justify a walk stool. Or a stool at all (just stand?).

Having a stool during two tournament rounds at a long, hilly course with no benches (such as Hawk Hollow) is a must have for me to not get worn out.

So doing a comparison of the two today, the Fade appears to sit a couple inches taller. Both the Fade and the Camptime have dowels up in the legs where the joints are. The Fade's seat seemed firmer, compared to a Camptime with just a few hours use at the warehouse. The pick-up strap is useful too, although I'm used to carrying my Camptime fully open, lion-tamer style. And I'm with dehaas, most of my usage was as a bag stand unless we reached a serious backup, or sometimes for scorekeeping.

Anyway I overpaid ~$15 for my huklab camptime about 7 years ago and still use it. Cry about it every night too.

Where are you buying camptime stools for $20-25? The going rate I've seen for these is about $30-35. This price seems to be on par with the others.

If you get it from Amazon.com (Sold by gotta go fulfilled by Amazon), it's only 3 bucks shipping.

I grabbed an REI stool this last weekend when it was on sale for $15: http://www.rei.com/product/765283/rei-trail-stool

My last Dick's stool lasted a year or two. If this one goes bad, I can just get a refund from REI.
