I might have to slow down this year to get the fuel burn rate to something tolerable 💰💰💰💰 holy cow, 1400 gallons of gas? and I was crying earlier at 4.79 a gallon for reg unleaded in my company rental that held 12 gallons lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I never got on plane because day in and day out for a year that would be very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also use the arms to get up and they all eventually bend. This one looks like it may hold up better. Edit to ask, does it really weigh 28lbs?!

wapawekka Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 We have a bunch of these. They suck. Used to be built better but the last two or three we’ve bought don’t last. I know. You get what you pay for at $20 but at least last a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My whole camp went club chairs after this first couple showed up. The only issue I have with them is, they don't huddle around the campfire too well. We tried squeezing like 9 of them in a circle and the heat wouldn't reach as much due to the circle size. But meh, comfortable as hell for sure.

ElCaminoManT Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I had to move away from the usual folding type camp chairs as my back simply cannot handle the lack of any support. I rocked the 'director's' type chair for a few years but even those started to become an issue. Zero gravity chair for me currently but man, storing them is a PITA! The one from Costco is solid. Roomy for us large guys and has a side table too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works amazing Ever since my group has gone to these chairs, the fire size is the issue. As you said, I found a long trough works best. You would think you would burn more wood this way but a few small fires keeps everyone warm longer than one giant one that keeps getting wood thrown in by people that didn’t bring wood in the first place! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically that is a joint. A blunt is rolled with cigar or tobacco paper. You can tell an amateur rolled that. …not that I would know… 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dockmaster Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 I bought four of the Yeti camp chairs. Just back from first 3 day trip where they were used extensively on the deck. I am very happy with them. They are ridiculously stout and very comfortable. They are on the heavy side which doesn’t bother me given my intended use but if you needed to carry them a distance I could see it being a problem.

We've been supplementing the wood fire with a smudgepot. I added a 2' piece of 8" stainless single wall chimney pipe to it so the smoke clears everyone near by so no one gets stuck with the shitty spot downwind like usual. 8" chimney pipe fits "close enough" to sheetmetal screw into place.
