[philmont] Chairs

For what its worth, I ordered a Sling Light chair for this year's trek. They are really great chairs. Having committed (somewhat) to carrying less weight, I still figured I could afford a pound for a chair, but my new three-pound backpack really couldn't accommodate the width of the chair, so I left it behind. Instead I took a three-legged 12-ounce stool that strapped easily to the side of the pack. Having done that, I used the three-legged stool at most five times over a ten-day trek and would definitely opt for leaving it behind next time. Every camp site we were in had logs or other seating and the three-legged stool just wasn't that comfortable. I considered trying to sell the stool for $10 during the last part of the trek but decided it would be bad form.
