“We brought 30 roll-a-chairs because the Sherpas fought over them last time. Just imagine a full sized chair with a comfortable back that is easy to carry to 27,000 feet!”

"Time to go and make a purchase on your own, dude. I got one in RealWood Cam that fits quite nicely strapped to the outside of your ruck, or like someone else mentioned, inside the valise. It even comes with a bit of a shoulder strap so that you can haul it around with you that way.

If I do a course where I am going to be on a bunk-bed, it also makes a great night-stand table for my glasses, watch, flashlight, bootbands, that kind of thing.

They only weigh a couple of pounds, if that, so you don't even really notice it, but everyone else does, when they are sitting on the wet grass or log, and you're nice and dry on your little chair."
