Sorry shouldāve thought someone would want to check it out
This particular stool was as high as we could get because Iām tall others may be a different height.

Uquip Darcy Portable Folding Stool for Camping and Sports
Going to have to get a small folding āPonchoā to keep in the net bag behind my wheelchair. Met some friends at a beachside cafe for coffee this afternoon, but the weather took a turn for the worst while we were in there. Wind really got up and that fine, penetrating rain. A good 10 minute trundle from the car-park, so by the time we got back and the 'chair was stowed, it looked like weād been in for a dip fully clothed.
Luckily thereās a branch of Careco just around the corner, so thatās due a visit today. My wife looked so miserable whilst pushing me. But sheās a wonderful little woman, and getting smaller all the time.
Well it supported me on a known flat surface wouldnāt recommend any stool on an uneven surface without a family member or caregiver in attendance. The stool was great as a short term support to enable me to recover from fatigue plus it was tall enough for me to get up from with my stick as a support
Mine has arrived!
Ill open it up and take some pics later Mr F!!

You can get one legged stools to perch on for that sort of terrain but I donāt know how youād get on with one of thoseā¦probably more likely to topple over on it I suppose
My sister uses one of these when golfing.
The trouble with this type - if youāre a little dodgy on your pins - is that the moment you stand (unless youāre very quick, they fall over. also, a good sense of balance is needed. That can be an invitation to an accident. Absolutely fine if youāre hale & hearty.
Great news hope you like it
Yes, thatās exactly what I was thinking. It would be ok for me now; I just donāt like having to carry too much when out walking, I like to keep my hands free for falls so I like to travel light
@mrfrederickson This is a great tool for respite from walking etc. It is also used by many artists for outdoor plein air painting.
And now for your next challengeā¦
At strength & balance we have a chair under us for the squat; but last Monday a couple of us managed to do it without the chair and ohh but our legs burned but well worth the push to strengthen the legs.
Great should work out well for you it has extended my range and my comfort considerably.
No they arenāt, I managed to fall off one backwards before the stroke. Much to the amusement of my so called mates. Iād be super careful if you are thinking of getting one.
Hi clobbers as stated before you should only use with a carer or family member in attendance and ensure that the surface is even , all such devices have an inherent safety risk , Iām well practiced at getting up from a low point safely so do not consider if you cannot master this feature.
