Re: [Paddlewise] Collapsible chairs

I recommend the REI Travel Chair because it gets you up out of the dirt and
mud and provides more back support.    And used in conjunction with the
Thermarest cushion it can be very comfortable.   I also find it doesn't take
up that much for room than the  Crazy creek chair and well  worth the
expense.
