I am a thirty-something with the back and knee troubles of a ninety-something, and I’ve recently decided that it’s worth the extra weight penalty to have something that gives me back support (to sit upright in tent/while cooking and eating, rest stops on trail, etc.)
Can you recommend a floor-sitting back-support thing or system that won’t weigh a ton or be annoying to fit in my bag?
I basically want something like this, but they seem to be out of stock in the UK and their other versions are either heavier/bulkier: https://crazycreek.uk/collections/hex-2-0/products/hex-2-0-longback-chair
There’s plenty of normie versions online from other brands for car camping and beach trips, but I’d like something lighter I could take on multi-day hikes.
I’ve looked at the Helinox Ground Chair, but I want something I can use inside my tent as well as out and I don’t think my tent has the headroom for it (MSR Hubba NX 1; I’m 5’9 but 5ft of that is my torso, apparently…) so I'm looking for something where my butt is on the ground.
I've also looked at the thermarest things that turn your pad into a chair - unfortunately I have the Bestway alpine light and a cc mat so no dice there.
I welcome suggestions and thanks in advance!
I’ve also thought about trying to make something myself with tarp squares and webbing straps but this may be the optimist in me…
