hernesheir commented on the word campstool
My family's simple campstools each had a pair of folding X-hinged legs, each pair braced with a simple stretcher, and topped by a folding uncolored canvas seat firmly tacked onto the seat frame that crowned the pair of folding legs. Folded, the stools occupied little room in the vehicle we took on our excursions into Nature.
