Tent, check! Flashlights with batteries, all working! Jugs, spoons, and plates, all here! Jacket, extra clothes, caps, all in the bag! Matches, utility knife, I almost forgot! Sleeping bag, ok! Hammock, why not? Camping chair, hmmm... My Coleman Camping Chair that I had for Christmas. Should I bring it with me? Naah, forget it! Too impractical! I have all I will ever need.
Sounds familiar? Before a camp trip, we hustle and bustle searching for the right camping equipments. We grab and go, while reminding ourselves of the last camping experience and what we brought along. Typically, our list comprises of the bear essentials, with a few luxury items we can never go without. And most of the time, the camping chair fails to be on that list even as a luxury item.
Most of us consider it best to just sit anywhere. People considers it as part of the camping experience to sit on rocks, logs and tree stumps, while the majority find it more practical to squat, avoiding the dirt. However, whenever we see someone able to sit with ease and comfort in one of the Coleman Camping chairs, we tend to be a little bit envious. And what happens when that person leave the chair? Oh yes, we, who sit on the dust look at each other from the sides, sensing the slightest movement, the slightest hint of intent. Then we walk ever so carefully yet hurriedly towards that small camping chair, and we sit like we have never sat before. I may have exaggerated a bit, but the point is that everyone enjoys the luxury of a camping chair however impractical it may seem at first.
And this scenario usually repeats itself, especially on long hikes. The fast walkers moving too quickly, later realizes that some of their companions are getting weary and wanted to take a rest. So they stop for a while and find a spot to relax. Some sit on big roots, others squat, while a few sit on their ever so reliable camp chairs. "What! Where did that come from?" is the typical response.
Some of other uses of camping chairs, like as an elevated platform for big water jugs is usually overlooked. We only realize the need when it arises. So why not just try to bring it with you the next time you go on a camping trip. You will not regret it.
