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!

PICO the Notebook sized Camping Chair
Hammocks come in many different sizes but only one shape!
The pros
Hammocks have the most ingenious system and, though not much to look at, are quite comfortable. Relaxing in a hammock can help relieve that pressure and stress of the office, and can open you up to the beauty of nature. Laying in a hammock can help to relieve many types of pain but most importantly, many forms of back pain. The subtle contour it has with your back helps relieve ache muscles and stress induced nerves.
In terms of camping, nothing compares to the quite and calm feeling once gets from relaxing in a comfortable hammock as it swings back and forth, gently rocking you to a peaceful state.
lightweight, and very easy to install, the hammock offers a escape from everyday relaxation and welcomes you into a world of total pleasure. Just one try will convince you that, not only do you need one, but everyone in your family needs one too. But don’t worry because even five hammocks don’t add up to as much space as a normal folding chair. This is due to it’s simple, but effective frame.
Installation
Installation is a snap and within three minutes you can be on your way to a peaceful days rest. There are three ways in which to set up your relaxing hammock…
Trees – by trying each end of the hammock to a tree you can lay between two massive pieces of nature as the wind slowly drifts trough the leaves, creating a natural lullaby for your weathered soul.
Trailer hitches – no trees around? The hammock has you covered. Simply purchase a stand from any retail store that sells hammocks that attaches to your trailer hitch. These stands are very strong and can support 500 pounds between the two arms.
Stands – Traveling light? No trees or cars? Simply use the two stands that are capable of holding up to 500 pounds between them. They require no trees or trailer hitches and can be set up anywhere.
Cons
How could there be any cons to such a beautiful invention. Simple relaxation is a breeze and everything you could want in a recliner or chair is fulfilled by a hammock. But beware if you are prone to narcolepsy or prolonged sleeping periods, because once you get in, it’s hard to leave!
