If you are just basking in the sun, you can of course bring a picnic mat and sit and lie on the grass at will. But if you want to see the scenery from a different angle, or if the ground is a little wet, it will be much more comfortable to bring a camping chair.
Today, I will introduce some common camping chairs.
As usual, let’s talk about the reference points for choosing a camping chair: the weight of the chair itself, the storage volume, the ease of assembly, the load-bearing capacity, the height of the stool surface, and whether there are armrests or backrests. If you are self-driving camping, you will not care so much about the weight of the chair itself and pursue comfort more.
What should a comfortable chair look like? Generally, the seat is about forty centimeters away from the ground (almost the distance between the soles of the feet and the knees). The feet can be placed flat on the ground, which is convenient for people to stand up and sit down. There are armrests and the backrest is slightly inclined back. Sometimes camping chairs are deliberately designed to be lower, so that people can sit down and stretch their legs. Such a reclining chair is designed to let you relax, and naturally it is not convenient for people to stand up from time to time, or sit and do things.
Ultra-lightweight camping chair that requires simple assembly
If you are traveling on foot, you will naturally tend to have camping chairs with small storage volume, good load-bearing capacity, and light weight. Such chairs usually require simple assembly. Because of its light weight and lower stool surface, this type of chair is not easy to stand up when sitting down. And be sure to check the size of the chair when purchasing.
The most common camping chair – armrest chair
The most common in camps is this four-legged chair that can be opened and folded directly, with armrests and backrests. There is usually a place for wine glasses on the armrests. Many brands have similar designs and are very cost-effective. You can carefully refer to the weight, storage volume, unfolded size, fabric and color of each model to choose the most suitable one for you.
Small bench
The small bench has its own flexibility, portability, and ease of operation, and of course everyone is ready to sacrifice comfort. We always like to bring one or two when we go camping, which is convenient for making a fire for cooking, and can also be used as a bedside table at night.
