      I own both….. the BTR is the only one I ever take because of how fast it is to set up and take down.
      The REI stool with its shock cord assembly and rolling/stuffing in a bag is a huge pain.
      The BTR can be set up for a trail side break, used, and when its time to go you just grab it as you hike out. You can collapse it while walking and stuff it in a water bottle pocket while on the move.

    An Alpaca Hoody is worth the cost, and it has little to do with the weight. It's that the item can be worn nearly year round. On the very hottest and humid of days, it can be too hot, but that is really it. It works well as a sun blocker 90% of Summer. Over 100 with 75+ humidity, is when it is too hot.
    Plus, it is shockingly warm in Winter and very cold conditions. It adds comfortable ranges to sleeping bags.
    Mine is literally on me, or in my vehicle 100% of the time, just in case temps change. It even provides decent warmth when wet, though I only know that from unexpected downpours, and I haven't kept it on for hours after that.

    I have switched almost all my clothing to alpaca in the past few years. It rarely, if ever, needs washing. It is warmer per weight than Merino and does not become as hot while moving as wools like cashmere. I even made a one-off felted alpaca wool sleeping pad that has almost completely replaced my closed-cell pad. I am considering sewing some Dyneema under it to protect it from wet ground.

  • @TheJetJJ

    I use alpaca wool socks from “Pacas” for hiking. Super comfortable. I wore boots this summer because of an ankle problem - they were not hot at all. I hiked Blood Mountain in Georgia in August, zero foot sweat and zero smell. I was surprised. It still felt good to peel them off at the end of the day though!

    As a tradesman, I can really appreciate the stake bag. Reaching for tools all day in a non ergonomic pocket or bag is irritating and waisted time. Now add the rain or the cold with the urgency of setting up shelter. Also being able to contain small items together is just being organized. I have a pocket Sewn into my larger shelter bag for stakes.

    I have the Vauclause Ventilation Gear version 1 and it has helped me carry my backpacks better because of the airflow that helps lessen my back sweat. Two pieces got removed, though, so I am pondering if getting the mesh will help.
    One has to be mindful to readjust the backpack straps to accommodate the extra 1 inch thickness added to the back.

    The "allmansright" name definitely comes from our law called "the all-mans right" (allemannsretten) here in Norway, which grants everybody the right to roam freely, also on other people's private properties, as long as it's not in their personal garden. You have the right to roam freely, and light a fire for coffee and pitch a tent for two nights at the same spot - e v e r y w h e r e !!! And that's the law, now considered to be entered into the constitution.
    It's really awesome and something we cherish a lot here in Norway.
    You should come here. We have the wildest nature imaginable, aurora borealis, the midnight sun, and just awesome wilderness life.

    Ive owned the 14" and 17" Hillsound stools for at least four years. They're 11 oz & 14 oz respectively and fit easily in the front pocket of a backpack. They come in handy for a quick seat next to a stream while changing out of shoes and drying off in the colder months.

    I paid 60 Bucks for the BTR Stool when it First Came out. They need to fix the price. For that I will just buy the Helinox Chair Zero. Honestly I did buy Helinox Chair Zero Shortly After I got the BTR Stool. I Paid $119.95 for it.... The combo of the Helinox, and the BTR Stool is Great to put your feet up and relax. As well as have a chair/Stool for the little lady you bring. The short BTR is what I have, I would have gotten a Larger/Taller one if it was Available at the time. Prices need to be adjusted to a normal amount. I got both of these back in 2020. The mark up on this thing is Broken.

    I have the ventilation frame, it has uses other than ventilation. Sometimes when packing out game, especially at dusk, it isn't sitting right in the pack, bones can be poking you, the ventilation frame keeps it away from your back enough, you don't have that uncomfortable poking.
    Now, I haven't tried it with Elk Quarters or anything really heavy as in 100+ pounds, so it may collapse with too much weight.

It's quite bulky and pain to pack. The other 2 go with me everywhere. And were quite cheap($4 for the stool at a Dollarstore).
