Intro
------
Right then, i am going to open this review in a way that i am sure that none of you will have expected. As much as i like the idea, and would like to do it in the future, i have never previously been fishing in my life! Why do you own the stool then? I hear you cry. Well, my parents are keen walkers, and occasionally on a nice summers day i go along too, and this stool is a key piece of their inventory. It's multipurpose, allowing you to carry lots of belongings, whilst also allowing you a nice seat while your sitting and admiring the countryside, perhaps having a nice picnic!
The Creel
------------
The Creel, or bag, as us none fishing types would probably call it, allows you to store the stool while wandering around the countryside. It is made of polyester and is nice and light, meaning that you aren't lugging around half the world with you, which is always a bonus. I should know, as i am always made to carry the heavy stuff, and it is never this item! It also has a number of very handy little pockets on, perfect for a walk or a camping holiday, perhaps, where you can keep items such as torches, first aid bits and pieces, and other things that you would usually not have room to bring with you on your walk or your trip. I'm quite sure this is also very relevant for fishing, as you will obviously have lots of bits and bobs that you need to carry with you.
The Stool
------------
The stool is easy to get out, and is incredibly simple, being just two simple bits of steel with a piece of polyester across to sit down on. It has been mentioned before but i think i need to restress that this is not all that comfy, particularly if you are of the bigger disposition, as there is not a great deal of room to stick your backside on too! However, me and my family have no issues with this, so it is not a downside for us, but worth considering if you are thinking of buying the product. I have to mention that it is not the sturdiest thing in the world, particularly if you are parked on a hill, so it is probably best to keep your wits about you whilst sat on it!
Price and durability
------------------------
I believe we bought ours from a local outdoorsy shop, for about £15 but it is also available widely on the net for a similar price. We have used it a few times and have not noticed any problems with durability, so its a big thumbs up for that. However, you can probably get similar alternatives on the market for a cheaper price, so it is worth shopping about.
Summary
-----------
A good stool and bag for all your outdoor needs.
Summary: Worth shopping about - but a good product nonetheless
