Those of you who hike/backpack camp, do you ever bring a chair with you?
I dont but the people I go out with that do bring something like this. I myself go for the folded up ccf pad with my backpack as back rest against a tree or rock
>>2836653I have one like this pic >>2836659check out the onetigres tigerbladeit says 330lbs capacity but that's a massive undersell my cousin is over 385(he won't tell us) and uses the same chair just fine
>>2836653Haven't so far, and it sucks whenever the ground is wet and my sleeping spot isn't at a shelter or bench. I bought a folding stool recently and will bring it on any future winter hikes.
>>2836659I think I'm gonna buy the REI version of that on sale tomorrow. Never cared that much for regular camping but I'm getting into motocamping and having something you can collapse into after a day of riding and holding yourself upright on the bike is a godsend, especially because you're a lot more limited on campsite selection and can't always pick spots with good natural seats. (Especially at events where you have to camp in the middle of a field or whatever.)
I go backpacking to get away from my chair
>>2836653I have one like OP for car camping, pic rel for backpack hunting, just a foam pad for backpacking without hunting.
>>2836653No, more because of their size, less the weight.>>2836659Same.
>>2836685Update, I sat in the REI one and realized the one that feels nice is their "camp boss" or something, which is stupidly big. The regular and airlite (or whatever) are pretty shit and I actually like my $35 off brand one from Bi-Mart more, feels more stable and packs up tiny.
>>2836799I got one of those cheap chinkshit chairs, it barely weighs 1kg and is always comfy to have, though I wish I got the longer version, if you also get a footrest and lean back on it your head kinda hangs in an uncomfy way
>>2836653Following my grandfather's advice, I literally just bring a couple of plastic bags with me wherever I go. They fold up smaller than a banknote and it turns any sit-able surface into a waterproof seat if you want to take a break.
>>2836653Complete waste of space and money. Bring a saw and hatchet. Now you have a chair.
>>2836653No. The woods I frequent usually have a rock or a fallen log I can post up on.
seems lightweight and worth it imo
>>2836653For my base camp yes. For my trail rig no.
>>2836869I do that, and you can ditch them wherever when you don't want to carry them anymore.
Hammock campers just keep on winning.
>>2836653thermarest z-seatBest 25 bucks I ever spent
>>2836872>just whittle yourself a chair real quicklol. have you ever actually been out?
>>2836653I took a camp chair like that out in the winds in wyoming. was comfy as fuck once i setup on a really nice overwatch of the valley between the range.problem was it was big and awkward to carry. Also heavy. Wouldn't recommend or do it again. It's probably best to get a dedicated tiny one if you want to that's made for hiking.
Fuck no, there's rocks ans logs everywhere. Bringing a chair Is a good way to get laughed at out there, and usually a funny trail name too
