Is there some other seating option I should consider, instead? How much do they weigh? How much do they cost? So many questions... There are many arguments for both sides of the discussion of does it make sense to bring something to sit upon? Some will be fine with nothing. Others will want to bring some creature comforts, but at what cost? I believe that bringing a seat can be a valuable option if you are able to make some tough choices to keep your pack base weight under control. In this video, I'll review some of the most common and best options in the backpacking world with an eye towards a Philmont Trek. Which categories of camp seats are available on the market today, which are the lightest, the least expensive, the simplest, and most comfortable. Let's Discuss. Leave your suggestions in the comments below. I'd love to expand the list to include other great options. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:30 Philmont Seating overview 01:40 Pros & Cons of Seating 04:49 What is important to consider about choosing a seat? 06:00 Sitpads 06:15 Basic Sitpad 07:00 Thermarest Z Seat 07:50 Crazy Creek Chair 09:12 Stools - Alps Stool 11:20 Lightweight Chairs 11:55 Trekology Yizi Go 12:33 REI Flexlite 13:46 REI Flexlite Camp Boss 14:45 Helinox Chair One 16:19 Ultralight Chairs 16:55 Helinox Chair Zero 18:30 REI Flexlite Air 19:58 Summary --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 💥 My Gear Lists 💥 Philmont - https://www.lighterpack.com/r/3vjwoy Hammock Setup - https://www.lighterpack.com/r/jvthl0 Tent Setup - https://www.lighterpack.com/r/8px1xv Merch - https://andy-parrish-outdoors.creator... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👇 SOME OF MY FAVORITE GEAR 👇 Backpack - LiteAF Curve 40L - https://alnk.to/eDTfxfE ​Hammock - Dutchware Chameleon - https://dutchwaregear.com/product/cha... ​Tarp - Hammock Gear Dyneema Standard w doors - https://hammockgear.sjv.io/AW6zQj ​Top Quilt Warm - UGQ Bandit Quilt 50 - https://ugqoutdoor.com/product/bandit...
