You take it out, give it a shake, and the stick-sections lock together.  Then you flip the handle over to make it a seat and it auto-locks.  You then balance on it, as if a tripod, with legs slightly out, and the stick behind at a 75 degree angle.  Possibly these are common in the USA, but they\u2019re new to me.  <\/p>\n<p>I now have one via a kind Amazon Gift Voucher gift, and it works fine and is quite comfy for a ten minute breather.  Such a thing may be just what you need for exploring places without many seats, such as large museums or parks\u2026 or any place which seeks to force visitors into their over-priced tea-rooms in order to sit down.  Possibly also useful for stand-up gallery launches and many situations at conventions.  Fancier countryman-type seat-sticks in leather and wood are also available, but after some research this was found to be the the best in everyday urban situations.  Easily packed away, and being wholly black doesn\u2019t show grubbiness from frequent use.  In the UK, Amazon thinks it\u2019s the best too and is now selling them direct and thus can send to an Amazon locker.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image_p01_4-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"374\" height=\"531\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-53417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image_p01_4-3.jpg 374w, https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image_p01_4-3-211x300.jpg 211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also had another brilliant suggestion from someone, re: a way to enable one to jot down the gist of those \u2018eureka!\u2019 ideas that can come when in the bath.  And which are so easily forgotten once out of the bath.  I discovered that toddlers now have the luxury of \u201cbath crayons\u201d that can write with relative ease on damp or even wet ceramic tiles.  Apparently they don\u2019t stain.  They\u2019ve very cheap and quite common, and bathing writers and scholars may find that they\u2019re worth a try.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image_p01_5-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"173\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-53418\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Possibly of interest to readers is my new flip-stick with seat, which is collapsible and almost self-assembling.
