Comfy lighweight folding chair ?
« on: July 03, 2008, 09:46:00 AM »
..for lounging around the campfire and such.
Can anyone recommend a folding chair that would be good for toting around at an archery rendezvous, etc.?  Something easy to carry, but substantial and comfortable.  Heck, it could even be used to hunt from, I guess.

I use the 3 legged doudle bull chairs that came with my blind light comfortable and easy to get around.

I forgot to mention that a backrest is mandatory.

Ditto on the Wal-mart chair.  i've even toted it into the woods for gun/muzzleloader seasons. Only problem is I tend to fall asleep in it   :knothead:

Three legged chairs tend to cut off circulation in my legs...in addition to the "John Nail Disorder".

The all-black Double Bull, " Magnum " I have spent 3 to 4 hours in one spot, in a blind and not getting out of the chair, not having circulation cut off, it is the most comfortable chair there is.  It also has a movable padded lumbar support.  They are great, my wife even uses it when she needs an extra chair in my office.

I just threw away my three legged, backrest, camo, waterproof super duper hunting chair.

Besides having the faults others have already mentioned, the front leg support broke while I was in my bear hunting blind.

It's a good thing I had a good old white bucket.

No more three legged chairs for me.
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.
