A few good camping chairs

When a regular guy goes to a well equipped store to buy camping chairs, it is easy to be overwhelmed by all the chairs that he can choose from. There are so many models that it can be a very hard decision to choose between them. A lot of the chairs are meant for the same use, but there are usually some small or big differences that make one of them better suited for you than the other. In addition, there are different types of chairs. It can range from small camping chairs to really big luxurious chairs. It is important to find chairs that will fit your needs for you to get full value for your money.

When you have been camping for a few years, you will build some experience in the whole camping life. This makes everyone better suited to choose the camping chairs that will fit best. Using experience as a guide when choosing camping chairs is, by far, the best way to do it. However, this experience cannot be acquired without going out there. Therefore it is wise for beginning campers to listen to advice from people with more experience.

For several years I have been a dedicated camper. I would say that I have done just about everything when it comes to the activity camping. I have camped with RV, alone on a mountain and in the forest, with friends by rivers and lakes and a lot more. During the trips I have taken over these years I have found many camping chairs that I really like and enjoy sitting in while I am in nature. In this post I will tell you about some of these chairs. I will also tell you why I like them, and under when I like to bring exactly that camping chair.

Luxury Camping Chairs

The first chair that I will talk about is a chair that I have only tested two times. However, during these two times the chair impressed me so much that I would recommend it to anyone asking. The chair that I am talking about is the Slumberjack Mesh Quad Lounger Chair. This is a really cool and comfy chair that is a pleasure to sit in. It also has a really cool name. The Slumberjack chair falls directly into the category luxury camping chairs. There are plenty of good things to say about this chair, but the best is probably how much weight it can carry. Even if the user is really big, it should not be a problem as the camping chair can carry up to 325 pounds on its solid steel frame. As you probably can imagine, the Slumberjack Mesh Quad Lounger chair is pretty heavy. Actually it weighs as much as 15,6 pounds. Best use of the chair: RV camping, short trips or in your back yard.

Heavy Duty Camping Chairs

When I say heavy duty camping chairs, I really mean chairs that are solid and will last a long time. This requires a well thought trough chair without too many parts that can break. Just to have it clear, the slumberjack chair that I talked about would also fit well in this category. The reason that I have made this into a category of its own is that I want to talk about one of my all time favorite camping chairs; the Coleman portable deck chair.

This chair is probably the chair that I have used most. There are so many different situations where I can use the portable deck chair. Everything from spotting fish in a river to enjoying a nice meal by the fire is perfect for this chair. It has a very nice built in side table with a cup holder. It is also pretty light with a weight of 7.7 pounds. The best thing about the Coleman portable deck chairs is a totally different thing; it lasts forever.

Small camping chairs

Often we refer to them as camping stools. Even though they don’t have the best comfort, they are very handy for campers who walk large distances. There are many types of camping stools, with the most common being the tripod. In my opinion, the tripods are also the best solution available. They take up the least space when folded.

Why own Camping Chairs?

Camping chairs are perhaps one of the most common pieces of “furniture” that people own. Almost every family has a set of camping chairs. Still, it is one of the last things that all of us consider buying unless we are in urgent need of it. Why is that? When asking this question, many will answer with a new question; “why should we own camping chairs?” In this post I will try to make some of its many uses more obvious to the readers. I will also talk a little about some of the different kinds of camping chairs. And maybe you will have an easier time choosing camping chair.

The first and most obvious situation that would require that you buy a set of camping chairs is when you are going camping with your family. If you have kids, it is even more important to have them. Nowadays children are used to the comfortable surroundings in their own home and all the luxury that follows with it. They are not as tough as kids where just a few years ago. If you as parent have the ambition of making your kids fond of being in nature you should do with small steps. One of these steps would be to make the camping trips more comfortable for them. Make them enjoy being in nature. A good way to achieving this is to not make them enjoy their meals on hard rocks. Bring some small camping chairs. It is guaranteed to be a success. When the kids are still small you most likely only go for either short walks or camp with your car close by. On these trips you can bring some pretty good and comfortable camping chairs for both the kids and yourself. The chairs bring a cozy atmosphere to the whole experience, and might help to trigger their lust to be in nature. As the kids grow, you might choose to go a bit further into the wild. Now a camping stool might be more appropriate to bring because of their weight and size. They are not as good as the chairs, but they are still better than sitting on a rock. This way the kids will gradually become less and less dependent on having the luxury of their home with them when camping. Of course this is just one of many steps that should be taken.

Camping chairs is not only for family trips though. It might be that you are a guy/girl that likes to have it comfortable when you are in nature yourself. Maybe you, like me, like to go fishing a lot. In my opinion a camping chair is the most essential thing I bring to a fishing trip, except for the fishing equipment of course. Both when you are looking for fish by the river, and when you are enjoying a cup of coffee by the fire camping chairs are excellent. Even when you are ice fishing they are great. Just put on warm clothes, a pair of Sorel Boots and lean back in your very comfortable reclining camping chair. If you are a hunter you might want to consider bringing your chair to the watch post. It certainly makes it more enjoyable experience. Bird watching is another activity I can think of where it really is nice to have one. If you don't have a long walk to get to where you will fish, hunt or watch birds, you can bring some really comfortable luxury camping chairs.

Even for the beach camping chairs will work great. If you are often at the beach you probably know how much money you could save by having your own sun bed. With one of the more advanced camping chairs those money are almost already saved. These models can be adjusted so much in the back that it almost is a sun bed. And, it is a lot easier to bring to the beach than if had your own sun bed.

A lot of people spend their holidays in RVs. It is no secret that camping chairs are among their best friends. If you ever pass a parked RV you will be certain to see some of the more comfortable camping chairs standing in front of it.

When you already have a camping chair, why not put it to use at home? For parties and things like that they are excellent as spare chairs. I know a lot of people are reluctant of bringing out their camping chairs when they have people over, but what is worst; bringing out the chairs or that people have nowhere to sit?
As you probably know, these chairs are made to fit most situations in camping. And because camping is pretty wide term, that is quite a few situations. You can get them in all kinds of materials, from wood to metal. With padded and stuffed pillows of as hard as a rock. The sizes also vary from small stools to big couches via the regular size chair. Just make sure that it is folding camping chairs.

Now the question is: why shouldn’t you own camping chairs?
