[philmont] Chairs

I have this type of a chair. We started with the Sling Lights first, with these @ 25$ its hard to beat, 16 ounces.

 CradleLounger
      Item No: 9000 CradleLounger
     

Chair: 36" x 16" x 19.5"; 23 oz./ 91 x 41 x 50 cm; 748 gr.
Headrest: 16" x 14.5"; 3 oz./ 41 x 37 cm; 85 gr.

This ultra-light framed chair is perfect for hikers and backpackers who want a portable seat that sits off the ground. Reclined position makes for outstanding lounging. Can be used with or without the detachable headrest. Entire CradleLounger folds to only 1" thick for compact transport. Sturdy T-6 RFG aluminum frame. 70D caoted ripstop with integrated foam padding.

  I've always used a chair conversion kit (the envelope with straps) that uses your self-inflating pad or in my case the Z-rest closed cell pad to make the chair. This way the pad has two uses - chair and sleeping pad. Some with creaky bones might have trouble getting off the ground or provide entertainment when trying to get up from sitting on the ground. I think Therm-a-rest's conversion weighs 7 or so ounces.

    I really enjoyed having a Crazy Creek chair with me. Having a way to rest my back was important to me. I'm 6'-2" and the tall version gives great back support. The chair can either be carried in your pack or you can clip the straps on the outside for quick access.

    It is almost two pounds, but for me it was worth it.
