backpack chairs?

“I currently use a crazy creek chair when I backpack. It weighs about 23 oz. Does anyone have a better chair or stool?”

“I remember asking the family doctor what he meant by "stool" when he asked me what my stool looked like <80

I was very young.”

“thermarest easy chair. 10 ounces.”

“I borrowed Skiracer's Thermarest chair kit on the Shining Rocks hike. It worked great and was light weight. I highly recommend them!!

Tx”

“I carried a Crazy Creek type chair at Philmont and enjoy the comfort. Then I used a "RidgeRester" chair for 3 or 4 years. I just got a "Thermarester" kit for my Thermarest LE and it is the best yet. Light, much more comfortable than the other two, and you just leave it on your pad.”

“Hmmmmmmmmmm?!?!

(thinking of another Christmas present idea)

“Slinglite - 17 oz

Sling Lite Chair”

“Aaaarrrggghhhh!

Slinglite - 17 oz

Sling Lite Chair”

“I sat in a sling light chair several times. Extremely comfortable, no doubt...and expensive.”

“I have the Thermarest. I don't know if it is better than the Crazy Creek, but it is light.”

“Stadium chair (cushion with back) from WalMart.
I use it at the foot of my 3/4 Thermarest at night for Sarabelle to sleep on. I often lay my lower legs over her when I'm not fedaled-up.

I carry it on about half of my trips.”

“Does that slinglite chair fold down small? It looks like you end up with a rectangular frame. Am I right? How do you pack that?”

“Thermarest. My sleeping pad fits into it. comfy, lightweight.”

“Crazy Creek but I find I leave at home more often than not these days.”

“thermarest chair kit. it can be used w/ or w/out the sleeping pad. obviously more comfy w/ the pad in it!”

“Thermarest chair kit.
I use it about half the time.”

“another Thermarest chair kit user here - used it for the first time this last weekend at the FFF - comfortable even if it was missing a couple stays. I contacted Cascade Designs and they are sending a couple stays that should have come with the kit - the interaction with the customer service folks was very good - no hassle at all.”

“Chairs? I don't need no stinkin' chairs. Three choices: Logs, rocks, and prone.”

“I have a rock that I found. It fits my butt perfectly. I just slip it my hiking partners bag while he asleep.”

“Violin,
I attach the chair to the outside of the pack with the 4 straps on the side. It helps the pack sit up when I take it off.

Yes, its expensive, but my butt appreciates it.”

“Crazy creek user here. But I dont take it but half the time.”

“and we appreciate your ahhh ... chair (yeah thats it), Snow Nymph”

“Bear keg, sorry, cannister. I had to pack the damn thing anyways...”

“Thanks for the help. Just ordered a thermarest kit. Now I just need to get out and use it.”

“While not an official "chair" I carry a garden pad from Kmart. Measures 8.5 x 15 x 1", and weighs 2.5 oz.”

“Actually these threads got me thinking on how to cut weight by ditching the Crazy Creek. I ordered one of these:
<--link

I figure I'll cut a pound and it will be a lot easier to get to so I can use it on breaks. I'll see how much I miss the back support.”

“Violin- I used the 'Therma Butt Pad' for a while, before I got my Infinity chair. The bonus is, that you can keepit really handy and use it sit on instead of wet or muddy logs. After all, you're not sleeping on it, too.”

“Is it adequate for snow?”

“Say....that could double as a bed for my dog.”

“Keep your dog off my seat!”

“She'll keep it warm.”

“Uh... bc.

Isn't that Infinity Chair a little heavy for backpacking?”

“PULL UP A LOG MAN-”
