Hi, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van

00:00:02.176 --> 00:00:05.099
Freedom. This is my Boreeman collapsible stool.

00:00:05.205 --> 00:00:06.656
There is little room for a chair

00:00:06.656 --> 00:00:07.979
in my van, so I bought a

00:00:07.979 --> 00:00:09.725
seat that packs down small.

00:00:09.763 --> 00:00:11.299
It gives me a useful little place

00:00:11.299 --> 00:00:13.156
to sit, and I have no complaints.

00:00:13.305 --> 00:00:14.841
The stored shape is the reason this

00:00:14.841 --> 00:00:16.825
purchase made sense for my setup.

00:00:16.931 --> 00:00:18.937
The matching product picture shows the stool

00:00:18.937 --> 00:00:20.644
extended beside its shallow,

00:00:20.686 --> 00:00:23.471
round packed form. The seat sits above

00:00:23.471 --> 00:00:25.604
a nested body rather than folding chair

00:00:25.604 --> 00:00:27.567
legs. That difference is easy to see

00:00:27.567 --> 00:00:28.974
when comparing the two shapes in the

00:00:28.974 --> 00:00:31.527
picture. One is the seat arrangement; the

00:00:31.527 --> 00:00:32.849
other is the package that has to

00:00:32.849 --> 00:00:34.557
find room among my equipment.

00:00:34.684 --> 00:00:37.159
My build photographs show the wider equipment-storage

00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.360
context. I had a portable saw setup

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:40.896
outside the van and built the drawer

00:00:40.896 --> 00:00:42.027
frame on the patio.

00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:43.712
Work moved between planning,

00:00:43.712 --> 00:00:46.773
cutting and fitting. The illustrative workshop footage

00:00:46.773 --> 00:00:48.693
shows measuring and holding work,

00:00:48.735 --> 00:00:51.339
alongside the photographs of my actual setup.

00:00:51.509 --> 00:00:53.429
For the stool, the useful comparison is

00:00:53.429 --> 00:00:55.317
the space it occupies when put away.

00:00:55.370 --> 00:00:57.503
A full-size chair brings its frame and

00:00:57.503 --> 00:00:59.317
seat into the storage arrangement.

00:00:59.380 --> 00:01:01.556
This stool collapses into a shallow round

00:01:01.556 --> 00:01:04.415
package. The diagram separates using the seat,

00:01:04.415 --> 00:01:06.207
collapsing its body and putting the packed

00:01:06.207 --> 00:01:08.879
form away. My page includes two researched

00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.613
alternatives. Fishboy uses another telescoping stool arrangement.

00:01:12.634 --> 00:01:15.066
The TravelChair Slacker is a fabric-seated tripod

00:01:15.066 --> 00:01:16.703
that folds its legs together.

00:01:16.888 --> 00:01:18.872
Their matching pictures show the difference between

00:01:18.936 --> 00:01:21.410
a round collapsing body and a folding

00:01:21.410 --> 00:01:24.482
tripod. These are comparison products; my ownership

00:01:24.482 --> 00:01:26.382
account here is about the Boreeman.

00:01:26.445 --> 00:01:28.229
My takeaway is straightforward.

00:01:28.348 --> 00:01:29.863
I had little room for a chair,

00:01:29.884 --> 00:01:31.548
wanted a useful little seat and liked

00:01:31.548 --> 00:01:33.020
the small packed size.

00:01:33.169 --> 00:01:35.063
This purchase has worked well for me.

00:01:35.121 --> 00:01:37.405
The important distinction is between the space

00:01:37.425 --> 00:01:39.644
a seat needs while being used and

00:01:39.644 --> 00:01:41.436
the space it takes when stored with

00:01:41.436 --> 00:01:42.994
the rest of the van equipment.

00:01:43.143 --> 00:01:44.935
Thanks for watching. I'm Steve Smith with

00:01:44.935 --> 00:01:47.428
Camper Van Freedom. The full Boreeman stool

Until next time.
