It has been brutal winter, but thankfully the season is over and spring is underway. Now that the calendar has turned to April, it’s time to start getting outdoors again. For a lot of us at The Manual, that means planning hiking day trips and overnight camping journeys. And we have the perfect addition to any wilderness excursion you might undertake in the coming months: The Wood & Faulk Official Camp Stool.

Wood & Faulk is the design moniker of Matt Pierce a long-time, self-described, “builder, designer and tinkerer.” Established in 2010 and based in Portland, Oregon, Pierce makes a variety of well-crafted products that range from leather dog leashes to half-pint jar sleeves, canvas carpenter bags and denim work aprons.

Stool indoorThe Camp Stool is a tripod stool with ash hardwood legs and an English bridle leather saddle. It also features a leather loop for wall storage and a leather carrying strap that makes it easy for travel. (You can easily attach it to your camping pack.) At 14 inches wide, 14 inches deep and 20 inches tall, the stool is lightweight and small to haul.

The leather saddle currently comes in tan, chestnut (our personal favorite), brown and black. Even those of us in the best shape tend to get winded on that first long hike of the season. The Wood & Faulk Camp Stool is great for taking those much-needed breathers along your trail or for sitting around the campfire with friends and sipping on a little post-hike bourbon.

Just because you are in the great outdoors, doesn’t mean that you can’t carry a little comfort and style with you along the way. With Wood & Falk’s Camp Stool, no matter where you travel, you’ll always have a great seat. And, even if you’re not climbing through the Catskills next weekend, the stool looks equally appealing in your loft as it does creekside.Stool Outdoor

You can buy the stool via the Wood & Faulk website or in person at the Home of the Brave,  a pop-up shop located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Warner Bros. is streaming full movies for free on YouTube
No one knows why the company decided to upload these movies now.
Tom Hanks in Bonfire of the Vanities

As first spotted by Gizmodo, Warner Bros. has quietly uploaded 30 free movies to its Entertainment YouTube channel. These whole movies are an odd assortment of cult classics and outright flops, but they're all available for free, and they weren't uploaded by some dude who is trying to stay clear of piracy laws.

None of these movies are all-time greats, but some of them were well-received when they were released, including Waiting for Guffman, Michael Collins, Mutiny on the Bounty, and Deathtrap. There are also a few movies that just completely didn't work, including Bobcat Goldthwait’s Hot to Trot (1988) and the woeful Tom Hanks vehicle The Bonfire of the Vanities.

8 gripping shows like The Recruit you should watch next
These shows don't have Noah Centineo, but they're still thrilling
Netflix on a laptop

If there's one type of show Netflix has thoroughly mastered, it's anything adjacent to the spy/CIA/thriller/undercover genre. There are so many adventure series in this vein that they all start to blend into each other. Right as people were just wrapping up binging The Night Agent, Netflix had The Recruit ready to go. Noah Centineo stars as an inexperienced CIA lawyer who thinks he's got his career under control until someone with dirt on him starts to extort the CIA.

There's nothing inherently unique about The Recruit, but that doesn't mean it's not one of the most enjoyable watches on the streaming service this month. This thriller is like a good bag of potato chips. It's TV junk food that tastes great and helps with the afternoon munchies. If you're looking for a similarly constructed and themed series, these are the shows like The Recruit to watch next.
