I broke down and bought my wife and I a Trekker chair to fit our thermarest pads. Never thought I would buy such a thing, I also used to think that way about hiking poles, but it was the only thing that could solve the only part of hiking that was uncomfortable for me. After a long day hiking, I usually hit the hammock or tent early as it is uncomfortable setting around talking at the campsite as the ground is rocky etc and just plain hard to get in a position for any length of time. On the way back from our most recent hike, I stopped in REI, armed with a nice dividend coupon and said what the heck. I have only set in it here at home but I can see the benefit. I will only use it when my wife is along with me. It weights 14 oz so I will not take it on my solos, but when with others, it will be worth the weight. I wonder how many other folks feel this is a worthy item?
