Camp Chair

My Jerry chair, made of coated ripstop weighs 2.17 oz.

The Collin Fletcher method works for me most of the time (I don't think he invented it though).

I do supplement with a sit pad to protect my butt. The sit pad has many other uses as well.

I didn't know it was the "fletcher method", but I've been doing that with my granite gear as well. Half the time I just prop it up against a tree or rock rather than a trekking pole, and the folded sleeping pad goes under my butt… both comfy and insulating if it's chilly.

Works just about as well with my GG Gorilla as it did in the old days with my Trailwise external plus I have the luxury of the sit pad for my butt.

See my comments way above (last year), but it doesn't work so well with an empty SMD Swift. Now I just carry a thermarest compack chair kit.

I'm so lazy I like to lay on my back with my legs on my pack. Forget about sitting. That's too much work! Plus bringing a chair takes away all the fun of finding the perfect chair formed in a rock.
