I think it is fair to say that throughout the course of my adventures, a chair has been my most forgotten camping item. I’m usually so focused on preparing for the activities that I space on the down time completely. You will realize just how handy camping chairs are if you ever forget yours. For the most part I have been fortunate to camp with a few over prepared friends who seem to always have a couple extra laying around but you could always sit on your cooler in a pinch.
