Abstract: An outdoor stool system for providing a portable seating structure capable of being utilized in various ground surface conditions. The outdoor stool system includes an elongate support member, a seat shaft slidably positioned within the support member, a seat member attached to the seat shaft, and a self-deploying base support that has a compact storage structure. The base support is comprised of a spike member along with a first member and a second member pivotally attached to a lower collar. The first member and the second member pivotally extend outwardly when the spike member is inserted into a ground surface thereby providing positional support to the seat structure.
