I bought mine on eBay. Here's a link to current auctions for some of
the backpacks with a stool: http://tinyurl.com/a277b

Of course, if you're the type who likes those really long hikes, you
might want this 3-in-1 style instead. (grin) http://tinyurl.com/8kqhu

If you want to know what they have been selling for, just do an
advanced search for "backpack + stool" and near the bottom of the
page, select "completed auctions only"

Enjoy!

As the Gallant Rogue has a bad knee, he is unable to "squat" as he
stamps in to a letterbox. This put so much strain on my knees that
after one productive day of letterboxing I couldn't walk for a week!
So I investigated the BackPack/Stool combos like my friend Scarab
uses but instead I opted to buy a "mini stool" that clips on to my
present backpack.

I have purchase two types but the one I use all the time is called
"Slacker Stool" by XNation Sports which I bought thru Amazon.com for
$7.70 plus shipping... here are a couple of other online stores:

I have found that I don't have to detach it from my pack to set it
up. I just set my pack down and use the stool while it's still
tethered to my pack. It is very light and I quickly became
accustomed to having it attached to my pack.

I expect we'll hear from Poison Ivy on this subject any time now...

:D

(Sorry GR, but my minds in the gutter today.)
