To their credit, Kijaro is apparently going to replace the chair. We'll see how this one lasts.Well maybe not...it broke on me during the last trip. That's only about 14 days of trail use before breaking...

I want to get some of Mike's chairs from Autohome when he gets them to market for sitting around the fire.
But for lounging, I have not found a more comfortable chair/lounger than the Cabelas one I have.
Very easy to fall asleep in it.

Actually I did
Snow Peak came to OVX and had quite the setup there - all of their tables, chairs and hoodads were set up under a huge Land Station. Very impressive when you see how it all works together.
The chair in question is comfy and sturdy enough for my 250 lbs. Very nice. Overland Gourmet had some there for sale and they sold out the first day!
No denying it, I'm down with the sicknessSnow Peak this, Snow Peak that, Snow Peak with a whiffle ball bat!
Dave, put down the Snow Peak catalog and step away. No one gets hurt.

Actually that one packs down very small really, the backrest and armrests fold down so when folded up it's only as big as the the lower leg "square" and flat.thanks tacodoc for the update my fear might be the pack size of that chair

might have to order one and check it out
can say I was so close yet so far from the expo !!! I so wanted to get up their just a few hours away ! but had all these things with our kids going on that were important end of school things and such
really wanted a chance to go sit in chairs also go see lots of other cool stuff of course
on a side note my partner steel stove came today so figuring out how best I am going to make it drop into my IGT !!! I have two ideas one uses the lid as a lowered platform the other use L channel like I did on my magma

I just read through the whole thread and I didn't see anyone using the strongback chairs. Does anyone use those? I'm thinking about getting one but they are a little steep...

Get one let us know
Seems reasonable compared to some other chairs here
Downside for me way to big pack size

Strongback chair
We bought a pair of Strongback chairs last year. His and her sizes (Elite and Zen) that fit us well, are very comfortable and well made. After having many camp chairs over the past 20+ years we both agree that they are the best we've owned. At just under $100 for the Elite ($79.95 +shipping) it is reasonably priced especially if value quality and comfort. Over on the Wander the West site they have many members commenting about them.
Cheers

I watched the strong back video and it looks pretty impressive.
