If you are not used to suppressing your ancient earner instinct and consider yourself a large army of hunters and fishermen, or you just like to visit mother nature from time to time, then a folding chair will be very useful for you on hikes. It’s quite possible to create this “miracle of comfort” with your own hands, but why look for difficult ways: there are quite inexpensive, but very convenient and light models on sale.
Let's see what manufacturers offer to modern “tramps” and “traders”. The simplest options that you can successfully put in your backpack are small stools. Of course, this is not a complete tourist folding chair, but also not a wet cold stump by the river. Hunters and fishermen will be happy with such a modest gift of civilization. Moreover, the stool when folded does not interfere with changing the dislocation, quietly dangling behind the owner's shoulders.
For those who go on vacation, taking with them a large family, a full-fledged tourist folding chair is more suitable. It is no longer as compact as a stool, but it is equipped with a back, which is so nice to sit back on.
More advanced designs may have armrests. The armrests, in turn, are equipped with cup holders, and in some cases they are even able to replace the table. Fans to keep delicious food on hand will be delighted.
A folding tourist chair sometimes turns into a real chair, its backrest increases, it acquires a spring pad, the seat is also laid with foam rubber. Additional "gadgets" appear. For example, in the form of a
canopy from the sun, so that the head is not baked. These chairs are often adjustable backrest.
Even more complex products completely replace beds, as they have the ability to transform into a kind of bed with a mattress. True, they stand like a folding tourist chair and an expensive branded sleeping bag combined. But what you can’t do for your own comfort.
When choosing furniture for camping, make sure its reliability and durability. As a rule, manufacturers, knowing about difficult operating conditions, produce a supporting frame of aluminum models. It does not corrode from contact with moisture, does not have a large weight, but it withstands a mass of up to 120 kilograms (and sometimes more).
As a cover, a tourist folding chair is fitted with a dense waterproof fabric. Tarpaulin is not yesterday, but the century before last. Modern fabrics are more durable, they will not tear at the most crucial moment, they are easily wiped with a rag from dirt, and a wide variety of shades delight the eye.
Occasionally, manufacturers pamper their customers with wood structures. Products made from natural wooden slats, of course, look attractive, but they are not too practical, since you have to "babysit" with capricious material. Even with varnish, such a chair can seriously suffer from dew or rain.
It’s much easier to look after ordinary tourist furniture. He removed pollution from it, dried it, folded it and hid it away until the next outing into nature.
