We need to buy new chairs for camping.  If you have a favorite, please post a picture or link and tell us why?

I like my zero gravity chair.  It is as comfortable as a recliner without dragging one into the woods.  I got it through mail order at Cabelas for $50 or $60.  I got 2 of them. They are wider than norma.  They were factory seconds/scratched.  I dislike the umbrella type chairs but I do have them since they are lightweight and they store easy.

One of my favorites is the Kermit Chair.  They are a favorite of BMW motorcycle campers.  http://www.kermitchair.com/

Why do I like them??
They are an extremely high quality hand made product that will last a lifetime.
They pack extremely small (22" X 4" X 6") plus optional leg extensions (9.5" X 3" X 3").  (The black package in the top picture is a packed up chair.)
Much much more comfortable than an umbrella chair.
An alternate use for the leg extensions is for level seating on a hillside.

They are made in Tennessee... NOT CHINA!!!

The down side is that they are expensive, but that's because they are hand made high quality products.  In other words, you get what you pay for.  By the time you throw away a few Chinese chairs, you could have bought one of these.
They pack disassembled in five pieces, so some assembly is required every time you pack or unpack.  It's not difficult.

I like our high backed web chairs. They support my back better, are easier to get out of. When eating at our portable table (if there isn't a picnic table), they are the right height.

We have 4 zero gravity chairs and love them all. They are a bit heavy to lug around but are oh so comfy to relax in.

I like the 0 gravity chair as well.  It is just a pain to pack them.
