The tall back of the Lounger DL allows for safe napping (or just resting my eyes, as I like to say), by eliminating the dangers of the head bobbing, neck cracking, and whiplashing when falling asleep sitting up. The Travel Chair Camp Couch offers the perfect compromise of campsite sitting elevation. At this height, you can extend your legs out with comfort. Not too high that it reduces comfort and not too low that you feel you’re sitting on the ground. I find the height of the couch to be really nice. I understand that but any effort is a good effort and if it takes a little effort to get up from the couch I think that can be a good thing. (Did they check out the Shorty Camp Couch’s name?). The only complaint I’ve heard about the Shorty Camp Couch is, for some people, it sits too low. This two-seater is very comfortable whether you share it with a friend or you spread out solo-couch potato style. Spread the frame and legs out and it’s completely set up with nothing left to do but relax. Take the couch out of its storage bag and spread the frame out. When it comes to the ultimate simple set-up, the Travel Chair Shorty Camp Couch is it. Another great chair to check out from Nemo is their Moonlight Reclining Chair. Now, here is chair with rhythm!Ī convenient spill-free cup/bottle holder, adjustable headrest/pillow, stash pocket, and padded carrying case round out the feature list for this combo chair/lounger. The specs: $249.95. Sure, there are rocking chair options out there but if you don’t have the perfect surface to set it up on you’re left with a rocking chair that doesn’t rock or it feels like it has the hiccups! With the Nemo Stargazer you can rock smoothly to your heart’s own beat. Talk about total relaxation!Īnd the fact that this chair also swings is particularly unique to the outdoor industry. This little enhancement takes the comfort level way over the top. When I’ve used this lounger and reclined all the way back, I like to have my feet up on a cooler, or a stump, or some other kind of way to prop my feet up. Lean all the way back and you have the most comfortable view to stargaze the night away. Or, simply lean back and the self adjusting webbing allows you to recline and lounge. Just by leaning forward or back the chair’s straps do all the work for you, automatically. The unique thing about this chair is that there are no straps for you to adjust to manage your sitting position. They were based in Montana along with several other companies that produced accessories that would convert sleeping pads into camp chairs. Oof, sometimes standing up was an adventure of dizzying head rushes along with sore muscle stretches enhanced with dramatic, out loud, groans.Īs I recall, the venerable Crazy Creek Chair company took the initial steps to adding sitting comfort to our campsites. The mountain and ocean scenery always made up for my sore backside or legs that went to sleep because of an awkward position. The only thing excellent that I remember about them are the memories of watching lightning bugs, fireworks, and the stars during those warm Texas summer nights.įor many years of my camping and backpacking experience, the well-placed rock, log, or lumpy tundra sufficed as my backcountry chair. The classic lawn chairs with their cheap webbed fabric and folding aluminum frames might be considered the first portable camp chairs. However, I do remember being a youngster, sitting in my grandparents’ back yard in the 1960’s. Thank goodness for designers and engineers who can see both the limitations of a current design and the potential for something better.ĭepending on how you think of them, camp chairs are a relatively new phenomenon. And perhaps most importantly, cold rocks and lumpy logs evolved into incredibly comfortable and portable camp chairs! A smoky campfire became an easy-to-control kitchen stove. Thankfully, design evolved to help us along our way.
