Love that the feet don't dig into the ground and a sturdy, comfortable chair is more important to me than weight. Would be a great chair for fishing, star gazing, 4th of July parties, or as an extra seat for grandma at Christmas... I'd prob have to help her out of it though haha.

@LousyFIBs4 күн бұрын
I think all your plusses and minuses are totally right on. But I think something that would REALLLY cause me to ignore the added weight is if I can rock back and forth. I wanted to get the rocking bars for the Helinox, but they don't work for the Chair Zero (which I have). If I had this chair, that would be the bigger reason to use it. A secondary reason is that it seems easy to pop open. I envy other hikers that have tripod chairs that they can pop out on a break (and pop back in their pack). Can't easily do that with a Helinox, So that's 2 features that would make the weight worth it for me. And I'm a FIB... and I have spoken. 😃

So with all your other stoves compared to this one. What happens if during operation in the field you tip them over by accident? Doesnt this stuff stop and cut out the flame when toppled over compared to the fire risk of the others?

that is a great question. Tip it over and it will still keep burning. I have found this to be the only negative with this set up and my gram weenie alcohol stove...they are quite tipsy...wasting my filtered water and fuel. I have only had this happen twice on trail, so a low percentage of times that I boil water, but you certainly need to be careful.
