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.

The 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.

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.

Timothee Chalamet and ‘The Nanny’ star Fran Drescher are teaming up for a new movie

The movie is set in the world of 1950s ping pong, whatever that might mean.

Few actors have been more successful over the past half-decade than Timothee Chalamet. The actor has proven himself across a wide variety of projects and has managed to anchor the remarkably successful Dune franchise. Timothee is also about to play Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, which could get him some attention from awards voters.

His next project, though, is a collaboration with Josh Safdie, one of the directors behind Uncut Gems and Good Time. The movie, which is called Marty Supreme, also stars Fran Drescher, the current president of SAG and the former star of The Nanny, and Gwyneth Paltrow. While plot details are scant, Variety has reported that the film is a "fictional work set in the world of 1950s ping pong culture.”

‘The Apprentice’ filmmakers blame ‘cowardice’ for their inability to find a buyer

The film's explicit political subject matter has made it a target for Donald Trump's campaign.

With just a month left until the presidential election, it's easy to see why a movie like The Apprentice might be even more controversial than it would be otherwise. The film, which tells the story of a young Donald Trump in the 1970s and early 1980s as he studies under lawyer Roy Cohn, was first screened at the Cannes Film Festival, but didn't have a buyer or a release date until quite recently. Given the movie's fraught subject matter, and the fact that it's now being released before the election, it's easy to see why some major studios might have balked at the idea of acquiring it.

Director Ali Abbasi, though, has a slightly different explanation for why they couldn't find a buyer.
"It was pretty shocking for me after the reception we got in Cannes," he said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "I understand it from the business perspective of not wanting to have trouble, but we're not in the business of ice creams. We're not selling shoes. So yeah, it was shocking."
Veteran studio executive Tom Ortenberg ultimately purchased the film under his label, Briarcliff Entertainment, and said that he was also surprised that no one else had grabbed the movie. "I'm so disappointed that literally nobody else in Hollywood would distribute The Apprentice," he said. "It's shockingly disappointing to me to be living and working in an industry where that's the case."
