LW “chair”

last night in bed I was thinking about Tabasco's comments in some forums about making a light weight chair as a student project. So I decided to make my own.
This morning I had already forgotten but came across another thread on that so I put a quick mock up together.
Took me about 20 min, and that already exceed my attention span.
The idea is of a corded frame with four loops that slip over the top and bottom of your trekking poles.
It is more of a back rest than a chair , to get a leg lift I imagine that another two poles would be needed. 9I might think about this…)
Likely it has been done many times before but it is a bit of fun.
Total "extra " weight for me would be about 2 oz.
Obviously you need to be able to push the tips of your poles into the ground as well as the two stakes.
FrancoVery cool! Here's a similar chair that I made called the Jerry Chair designed by a guy on the Hammock Forums.
Mine runs around 2 oz with the coated ripstop I used. It would be lighter if I used silnylon, or cuben.
Just as I was about to start "Mark 2" I received a parcel with the TT Hogback in it, so I thought I better do this quickly to allow me to play with the tent…
So , half an hour later, this is a slightly redesigned version.
I hope that the pics are clear enough to explain how it is made, but if not feel free to ask. It is pretty simple really.
The backpack has a semi inflated mat inside. This is safer than having the mat outside .
Still about 2 oz and free.
No it isn't compulsory, just for the ones that like the idea.
