Ultralight backpacking perch

A camp chair can make a huge difference to the comfort of your campsite, but it’s a luxury that few ultralight backpackers can afford, due to their prohibitive weight and bulk when packed. Which usually means making do with the corner of a foam sleeping mat, spreading out your waterproof shell or just sucking it up and sitting on the cold, damp, muddy ground. There is a solution though –all you need to do is look to the skyline. Not literally. We mean this ultralight, minimalist camp stool from Big Agnes, which offers a far superior alternative to sitting in the dirt, with a rucksack-friendly packed size and a total weight of under 500g. It’s quick and simple to set up for maximum efficiency too.
