ABSTRACT:
A portable, adjustable seat for suspension between the gunwales of a canoe, when used in a first orientation as a canoe seat, of a rigid construction that permits its use in a second, reverse orientation as a camp stool, when camping. The seat comprises a pair of cross members spaced from one another by a pair of braces to form a generally rectangular platform, a fabric sheet extending from one cross member to the other within the rectangular platform to provide a seating area, and left and right pairs of legs shaped to attach to the left and right ends of the pair of cross members (in the gunwales of the canoe) to suspend the seating area below and within the gunwales in the first orientation and to act as stool legs in the second orientation, the entire construction being sufficiently rigid to support the weight of a person when used in either orientation. Preferably the fitting of the legs with the right and left ends of the pair of cross members may be independently adjusted and locked to accommodate differing canoe gunwale widths or the change in width along the length of a given canoe, while maintaining rigidity and support.
