Not all camping chairs are alike. Some camping chairs, like other tools, are best used in certain environments and by certain types of people. And the price and quality are always different too. I hope to give you some good advice that will help you find a chair that best suites your lifestyle and camping ability.
If you are a splurger and enjoy the comfort of a highly priced but extremely comfortable chair, you wouldn’t like a small stool. There are many camping chairs out there that actually are almost as good as regular dining or lounge chairs. There are some with foot rests, or extra padding, some with cup holders, and some with speakers for your ipod!
If you prefer to be closer to nature and not separated by a big bulky chair, a smaller, more efficient chair may be right for you. If you are hiking around and don’t want to carry a massive chair that weighs a ton you would be better off with a small stool that can fold up and be stored away properly.
Obviously the weight of the chair is going to affect your decision. if you are camping out of your car you may enjoy a more relaxing and larger chair. If you are hiking through the forest then a smaller, more compact chair that is easier to carry would be more appropriate. It is all about finding the chair that best suits your needs at the time.
Stick with respected brands from REI and other sporting goods stores. And yes, the more expensive brands will most likely be the best and most resilient.
Try out the diffrent chairs in the store and attempt to find the one that fits you best. Remember to think about how far you have to carry it and how best to go about it’s condition. Remember to make sure that it is waterproof and not easily bent or broken.
A chair is one of the most important things to have while hiking or camping so remember to get a proper chair for yourself. The worst thing would be to have a un-relaxing vacation!
A very amazing and intresting folding camping chair!
