Curtis Reed Report post Posted January 13, 2022 I have an older steel 3 leg glassing stool that I need to move on from due to weight. I saw on outdoorsman’s the Hillsound BTR stool. Does anyone use it? Opinions? At 12oz seems like a no brainer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CatfishKev Report post Posted January 13, 2022 REI trail stool is super light, i still take a pad to sit on while using to keep blood flowing to my legs though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zslayer Report post Posted January 13, 2022 They are super light weight and compact. I believe weight limit is 240#. I use the 18” walkstool, I love it! Little heavier, little bulkier but not much and has a little wider seat and super stout. I believe the weight limit on the walkstool is like 450# or something crazy which explains how stout it is. I don’t notice it all while packing, just rides in my side water bottle pocket on the side of my pack. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flashgun Report post Posted January 19, 2022 I have broken 3 btr stools in about 14 months. They have been great about the warranty and sending another one but it gets annoying having to resubmit all the stuff each time. I think they work great on flat terrain but in sand or rocky conditions the legs snap off way to easy. I don't bring as much anymore just cause I am afraid i will have to be sitting on a rock for the remainder of the hunt cause it broke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomh Report post Posted January 19, 2022 I bought one last year and love it so far. The seat is on the smaller side but you get used to it after a couple times of using it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I’ve been fortunate so far. That does sound like a huge pain having to resubmit each time though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CraigK Report post Posted January 24, 2022 I’ve used one for about two years. Super light weight and comfortable. My last outing on my December deer hunt, the dang leg snapped while sitting on it. Forced me to sit on a cold rock the rest of the morning. I’m about 215lbs, so under the weight limit. I’m going to purchase a walkstool instead of the BTR. The unfortunate part, besides the leg breaking, is that the stool was given to me as a gift and because I don’t have a receipt, they won’t exchange it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PatrickJr Report post Posted January 24, 2022 I busted a BTR in about 6 months. I only tried the BTR because the seat was tearing on my original Walkstool (6 years old), the BTR always felt flimsy under my butt and I wasn't surprised when it imploded haha. Never tried to have them warranty it either Replaced the seat on my Walkstool and got another year before the internal hinge busted. Already had a replacement walkstool waiting on deck 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bought it through gohunt and those guys were awesome about sending the replacement and then just refunding my money after the second one went.. i'd go with another brand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yotebuster Report post Posted March 8, 2022 Shoot. Just ordered a BTR after reading reviews. They all looked good. Now I’m seeing some not so good ones. I got the 14” instead of the 17. Maybe that’ll keep the breaking down. That thing could be dangerous if it broke on you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought a used 14” and plan on using it a lot this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
