Stikstool - Perfect Fathers Day Present!

Fellow Hikers,

Don't forget to order your Stikstool in time for Father's Day. The Stikstool is the perfect Father's Day gift.

Stikstool - New website

The Original Stikstool has published a new website. Check it out.

Stikstool - The lightest stool bar none

The Stikstool weighs less than 5 ounces. Thats all you need to carry in your pack. The seat, collar and 4 end caps. Thats all, less than 5 ounces. Compare that to any comfortable seat or stool out there. Pads don't because they are not comfortable to me.

Stikstool - trekking vs hiking

When did the wooden hiking stick become unfashionable? I still see people using them. It is still a personal preference. I still see blogs where comments about the Stikstool is too heavy. They comment as if you were carrying it on your back. It weighs less than a wooden hiking stick. Now I realize you can make a wooden stick weigh as much as you want. I weighed several and the average is above 26 ounces. How weak are these hikers? My children hiked with hiking sticks that weighed more than 26 ounces. I'll say it again, how weak are you? Have you ever hiked with a wooden hiking stick and at the end of the hike said, wow that is one heavy stick?
Are the trekking poles just a fashion statement? Can one hold the weight of a hiker leaning heavily on it, or do you need two? Do those who prefer trekking poles tell their friends, hey I'm going trekking this weekend. I don't, I go hiking. I can't tell you how many times I need a hand to grab a rock or tree to get to where I am going. I like having a free hand.

Stikstool update!

The Stikstool has recently had another manufacturing process improvement. The process for manufacturing the couplings has changed slightly which results in a more accurate and consistent product.

Stikstool updates!!

The Stikstool now has a new lighter collar. It has been redesigned and is now smaller, thinner and lighter in weight. Also, the legs are now chamfered to make inserting them into the end caps easier and faster.

The Stikstool makes a great Christmas present for family or your hiking partner. Order now to receive your gift in time for Christmas!!!
