My wife and I recently finished a long hike and when we stopped each day we were way more interested in lying down....not sitting.

    I could see hauling them in on short mileage trips where sitting around the campfire is a priority. I may start using them for that type of hike.

    We did about 12-13 miles a day. So, it was relatively low mileage. Grizz said they weighed a pound and all 3 of the guys that had them looked way more comfy than I did sitting around the campfire.

    the chairs are great. i have a pair of them and we use them all the time.

    word to the old and broken; if you have back or knee issues, you might want to try them first, as entry and exit can be tricky and place pressure where it hurts.

    i'm a daily runner and workout type and i have some sore knees at times, and a squeaky back when the moon is bad, but i can handle the chairs on my worst day. some, however, may need more caution.

    i've always wanted a bipedal chair.
    I checked these out when at REI a couple of weeks back...was thinking the exact same thing, would make a great little chair to chill in around the fire or while cooking as I don't like to cook near my hammock. Good score at that price.

    Cheers

    thanks, i too prefer to have a remote "kitchen" and comfort around the fire.
    i was a "Spartan" for many years but i have grown out of that phase.
    i think it will make a good chair for waiting out the rain while under the tarp.
    i'm gonna try setting it on fallen log gain a little altitude just for fun.
    leaning back against a tree might even allow for a power nap?
