For years, my therma-rester, a simple fabric and (carbon fiber?) plastic stick contraption which slips over my sleeping pad, inflatable or not, to make a comfy back support sitting or laying down. Good for campfire, tenting, or stargazing. Called a trekker chair kit now at REI. Sent from my iPa

Depends on where you live, I guess. In the northwest the calculus is inverted, especially stealth camping. Lots of places to hang but few flat spots to be had. I've seen folks bring along a section of busted old sleeping pad as a sitting pad, which seems to work great. On Mon, Jul 21, 2014 at 1

Thanks, everyone. When I posed my question, I definitely didn't expect so much chair input. I commonly bring a small piece of cloth that I roll up and strap to my saddlebag, affectionately referred to as my "lollygagging mat". It provides just a little cushion and a clean spot to enjoy my fr

Another +1 on the Kermit chair - it was brought by Ryan (? The teacher from Michigan). Anne's tent was pretty slick - bug protective but very simple. And, as Philip said, fixed does make you a bit anti-social on climbs, but works fine overall. I've kind of been basket-averse, but was reas

I looked up the Alite Mayfly (the one I think was there) & it's $100 at REI. It did look comfy & easy to assemble & knock down, but seems a bit pricey to elevate my butt a few inches. dougP On Saturday, July 19, 2014 4:49:27 PM UTC-7, doc wrote: > >

For bike camping, I suggest the Helinox: light, compact, comfy, and although a tad pricey; worth every penny. On Saturday, July 19, 2014 3:15:15 AM UTC-4, hsmitham wrote: > > +1 on the Kermit chair. > > ~Hugh > > On Friday, July 18, 2

I have become a fan of bandanas! Good for the bike, indespensible for the campsite. I'm going to get a cheapish REI tent like Hugh's. And maybe a chair, like the Kermit that Ryan was using. No bike changes, but I might put a freewheel on one wheelset. Riding with everyone made me realize that

I espied a Kermit chair in the shade of the trees, who brought it? I have one for motorcycle camping, but left it home for the EntMoot. They're wonderful items, MUSA, and last forever. It was fun looking at all the other bikes and their eccentricities. I was glad for a chance to ride Amit's eno

Now that you mention it, we were a lazy, thirsty lot. Manny had it covered nicely, eventually coming up with 3 chairs! The A-lite chair would be a handy beach chair. dougP On Friday, July 18, 2014 11:28:27 AM UTC-7, Roger wrote: > > Yes... A chair. > I liked the looks of the A Lite products
