Multi-Function Walking Stick - Converts to a Chair

Step 11 Seat in Action

 The seat is sturdy enough to hold a decent sized adult.  It is as comfortable as any tripod camp stool can be, but it serves its purpose well for a trail side break.


Now if only it reclined and had a foot rest....


Below you can see the Hiking Staff Seat in conjunction with the light weight Backpacking Table described in the following Instructable:  http://www.instructables.com/id/Camp-Table-for-Backpacking/

Are you camera shy?

LOVE IT!!

So much better then the one I was rolling around in my head.  Never would have thought of using the copper fittings.

Brilliant!

Fantastic instructable! I wonder if adding the rubber feet from crutches, slit so they wrap around the cotter pin portion, might make the tops of the legs more user friendly?

 Mercy sakes, this is perfect!  The photos are very well done, the instructions are clear and complete, and the project itself is great.  I am anxious to try this when my cubs get to WEBELOS!  

I would not have thought the cotter pins for the seat would have held . . . I take it you haven't had trouble with them bending or slipping out?

Great job.

Brilliant! I have been fidgeting with a similar idea but yours is so much cleaner and stronger than mine. I was hung up on the joints.
