To revive a somewhat old thread... I carry this stool from Academy. It costs $4, is light and compact and, while not as luxurious as the Kermit, beats sitting on the ground.

I bought one of these from Campmor and find it very comfortable, lightweight, packs up very small, cheaper than the Kermit Chair, and you can use it inside a tent. The supports will not damage your tent floor.

Default Camp Chair

Everyone,
I use the slinglight chair. It is one of the most comforable chair I have used in the past few decades. At $89.00 it is not cheep, but I think it is worth it. Take my advice and get the attachable head rest. See:
http://www.slinglight.com/

These chairs are built here in the US and is of top quality. I have taken mine everywhere (I have two as my wife and I travel two up). 18 oz. each.

Default camping list

I just look for a motel on my gps at the end of the day. I say a Holiday Inn with a black and white tv is roughing it.

Just kidding, I say do not take too much stuff..........the lighter the better. I can pack in 1 ranger dirt bag all of my camping equipment including a 50 degree big agnes sleeping bad, 2 man tent, cook stove, lantern, fuel, etc.

Light and small is better, not having to take the camp gear is the best answer.

The camping trip sounds trippy, it sure would be nice to see how the bike looks all decked out for a trip. Someone please post some pictures here.

If you need to stash small items in the tent where they are easily accessed and safe, sew a small mesh pocket to the wall of the tent, many small tents have them as part of the design.
