[Philmont]: RE: Sling Lights, knock-offs, etc.

I recently purchased the Sling Chair made by GCI from backcountry.com,
although Campmor now has it for $2.00 less. (links below)

I have used this chair on 2 outings and I'm convinced it will be worth
it's weight to carry on my next 11-day trek at The Ranch in 2009. The
ability to lean back and be off the ground is big for an old fart like
me and this chair made sitting a very enjoyable experience. I can see
that it's structure might make it less reliable then a
sling-light/knock-off, but it's compact size is much easier to pack,
based on looking at how a sling-light would need to be strapped to the
pack.
