Default Camping Chair

I'm heading out for a few days of camping and want some kind of chair. I found this one but not sure about it.


Anyone tried it?

Edit: Removed the link went to call these guys and the phone is disconnected.... Might of went under?

Get ready...about 100 people are going to try and talk you into a Kermit ($130).
I use the almost always present picnic tables at a camp site but when I don't... a 10 dollar Walmart deal works excellent and can be carried around the same way you would carry your sleeping bag. Use your Secure, dry storage (saddlebags) for clothes, electronics, and such.

The blue max does look interesting though...

I like the CampTime Roll-a-chair, 27" X 4" X 4". I have the Roll-a-stool and can fit a few in one saddlebag with room to spare. The Roll-a-chair is the same thing with a backrest.

Looks a bit unconfortable to me. I picked on up at REI real cheap and it's comfortable too.

nice looking chair,usually like something with a little more make rest to it. Normally I do what LP does, use the picnic tables provided, or do the Walmart thing and purchase a couple of bag chairs while I am there. You can either haul them back with you or leave em, not a large investment anyway... have fun camping

Doesn't look like it has much back support.

I think the key is to ride solo on an Ultra and then you can bring the biggest and most comfortable chair or anything else you want. Fill up the saddlebags and tourpack with stuff and then you can still put another 100 lbs of crap on the passenger seat where the 150lb wife would normally sit.

Other options are:

1) Teach the wife to ride and buy her a bike.

2) Trailer

Actually going to a bike rally and not sure if picnic tables are available.
Don't think I would ever spend 130 bucks on a chair to take to a rally. But for 35 bucks I might give this one a try.

Craigslist - pick up a Lazyboy for free, attach some casters and drag it along behind the bike.
