Title: ST CAMP CHAIR REVIEW Post by solotripper on Oct 3rd, 2014 at 8:03pm
I brought a modified director type folding chair on my spring trip. I was heavier than I would like and didn't pack/carry well, but I loved having a chair to cook from and sit in rather than a hard log/cold ground.
I found this chair and brought it on my fall trip. Not as comfortable as the director's chair, but more than good enough for me. (You need to Login or Register It says it will support #225 but I thought that might be stretching it a bit, especially if your "stern" is wider than your "bow". ;) ;D It appears to be well made and is all aluminum and as light as they claim. I decided to McGyver it a bit by pulling the 4 leg caps off and filling the frame with window foam. Added some extra re-enforcement but best of all, it now floats! Yes, if the ground was soggy you might need to put some tennis balls on the legs but for the price and the fact if folds flat and secured on the outside of my food pack using the pack lid straps and a bungee cord around the top, I consider it a reasonable contender in the camp chair search. Did I mention its only $20. ;) Consider it the furniture version of those neon orange floating fish grips. |
