I’ve camped solely twice in my life. And but I carry an itty bitty tenting chair mainly in every single place.
Two years in the past, after I spent the summer time continuously claiming my boyfriend’s packable tenting chair at each outside gathering—park hangs, seaside journeys, you identify it—he lastly purchased me the Helinox Chair Zero as a present.
Having a tiny chair on me at any given time modified my life—no extra sitting on the grass in Prospect Park or schlepping heavy chairs to Brighton Seashore. My chair accompanied me to outside date nights, films within the park, my first (and second) tenting journey, seaside hangs with family and friends, and a visit to Los Angeles.
A couple of months in the past, I upgraded to a good comfier mannequin, the Chair One. (It’s essentially the most packable chair our outdoor crew recommends in our information to the greatest tenting chairs.)
Though it’s barely extra substantial than the Chair Zero, my new Chair One continues to be so small that it slides proper into my tote bag. I hold it by my entrance door so I can seize it on my method out—regardless of the event. A day of exploring a brand new neighborhood? Toss it within the bag. Assembly a good friend for a stroll? Who is aware of the place we’ll find yourself! Fast espresso run? Why not? Even when there’s no assure I’ll bust it out, I don’t thoughts toting it round. It truly is that little. I’ll carry a spare picnic blanket for bigger group hangs, however the chair is coming with me too—you simply can’t beat the again assist. And I relish the oohs and aahs once I pop a chair out of my bag like Mary Poppins.
