It’s pricey, but you get what you pay for. It’s worthy of any knight or damsel taking a break while on their camper quest.” – John Johnson, 2000 Ford F-250, 1992 Caribou Other than that, the fabric and joints are still perfect. The aluminum pin under the footrest is way too fragile, but can easily be replaced with a 1/4-inch bolt once you drill it out. Mind you this failure came after a solid year of daily heavy use, so I’m not going to complain. I needed something that was stable, sturdy, and yet takes up minimal space (doesn’t everyone?), and this chair ticks all boxes. The ones with the zip-on footrests are impossible to get out of. I’ve tried the zero gravity things, but they make me feel like my laptop and I are about to be launched. I like to relax in my chair, so I want a recliner. The HGoC (Holy Grail of Chairs) is the ALPS Mountaineering Escape Camp Chair. To find this chair, I went through three brands from retail stores (two returned), four online (all four returned), before finally finding the holy grail of chairs. Lots of people have a favorite camp chair, but mine is my favorite chair, period. “I am perhaps a little evangelistic, or possibly obsessive about my camping chair. They also provide us with a couple of extra chairs for those times when we have company while out on the road.” – Celina and Brett Binns, 2022 Ford F-550, 2014 Arctic Fox 1150 They pack up very small, are lightweight, and are surprisingly comfortable to sit in. The Helinox chairs are great if you want to take a chair with you when you need to carry it some distance. We also carry a couple of Helinox chairs. They are on the expensive side and are a bit larger and heavier than many other chairs, but are definitely worth it. They are very well built and are very stable when you sit in them.

The Strongback chairs are super comfortable, don’t sag, and have great back support.

“We absolutely love our Strongback Elite chairs. We love everything else YETI makes, so why not chairs? Take careful note of the YETI build quality on display in the below results. The YETI Trailhead looks to be a serious and direct competitor for the Strongback Elite. I think she’s personally talked 27 people into getting one for themselves.
#RANGER GORD PORTABLE#
If you want a portable camping chair that rocks, this one is hard to beat and has held up beautifully for over five years. The Strongback took the title, but four other camping chairs earned nearly as many nods the YETI Trailhead, the Nemo Stargaze, the Timber Ridge Folding Director’s Chair, and the GCI Outdoor Freestyle Rocker.Īngela’s choice has long been a GCI Outdoor Freestyle Rocker and it’s fantastic. We see Strongback Elite chairs at truck camper gatherings and rallies all the time and their owners rave about them year after year. The Strongback Elite camping chair with its renowned lumbar support ran away with the most votes for the best camping chair.Īlthough we don’t own Strongback Elite chairs ourselves, we can confirm that these offer superior posterior and back support and are built to last. For back support, comfort, and overall build quality, the winner is…Ĭamping chair comfort is highly subjective, but one specific make and model got more nods than any other. on fire towers in Ontario go here: Ontario(a)s Fire Tower Lookouts.Thirty-seven TCM readers reveal their favorite camping chairs and one seat is hard to beat.

Well, actually the rocks think he(a)s a bit wearing and annoying. Tomorrow maybe?" Gords only friends are the animals. Ranger Gord is eager to please, "Look Red I opened five cans of creamed corn in honour of your visit." Red never stays long, and Gord tries not to cry or scream when Red goes."Come back soon.

Gord has had no visitors, male or especially female, so he(a)s somewhat needy and desperate when anyone shows up. He(a)s also had no pay cheque for the last 15 years, but when Red suggests head office may have forgotten him he poo-poos the idea with a kind of desperate look in his eyes. Naturally this lack of rest has somewhat lowered Ranger Gord(a)s efficiency-he once mistook a log for a naked woman.
#RANGER GORD PROFESSIONAL#
Ranger Gord is fire tower watchman who has been manning his tower for 16 years without a vacation, a professional development day, or more than five minutes sleep. However, it is famous for being used as a fire tower on the "Red Green Show" where Ranger Gord took his lookouts from. Many nowadays have specualted that it was an actually fire tower used by the former Department of Lands and Forests.

This old lookout tower (Ferndale Tower) was built in the middle of the 20th century as a lookout for the Ferndale Resort just north of Port Carling on the Ferndale Rd.
