	Last year I started carrying a camp chair which I felt was well worth it's wieght. Well, it sort of fell apart as it was a sort of cheap one. Is thier a good light wieght chair preferrably with some back support out there?

	Ben, I'm a stool man myself. At 1 lb and easy to move around when breaking camp (I like to sit to perform a lot of chores.....stuffing tents and bags etc.). But my buddy brought the most incredibly comfortable chair I have yet to sit in. It's not for me as I already carry way to much weight but man oh man was it nice.

	I keep singing the praises of this one that comes in at 18oz and is very, very comfortable: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	I don't pack a chair, yet. Well, on lazy no portage trips sure I'll pack a deck chair. Here's one I recently saw & used. Comfortable. Super light. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) heh, just notice the post above. 2 votes for Sling Light. Also another option is one of those Thermarest chair conversion kits. If you sit still, I don't I fidget and fuss, you could try the nadachair (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links); It's not a chair. It's a sling you hook around your knees and it supports your lower back forcing good posture.

	Crazy Creek canoe chair. It straps on to the existing canoe seat, provides back support, and will come off to be used around camp. I like it b/c it is dual purpose and lightweight. On portages I keep it attached to the seat.

	I still like the simple old tripod stool not for comfort but because it packs so easy. It serves the purpose of keeping me off my knees and easing the stress on the back when doing chores. I don't use it for just sitting around...there is very little of that in my camps (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

Solid! I switched to the Crazy Creek III for canoe trip use and thought it worked well enough for me and a bit lighter then the CGI. My tripping partner did not like the valve placement on the Crazy Creek III chair.

Gotta have it. A little tougher to find is the backpackers version of the tri-pod stool. At exactly 1 lb and made of aluminum instead of steel it is 1/2 the weight. It's also twice the price at $20. You might have to dig a bit on the net to find it but they're out there.
