I'm with you, OM. We use two little sheets of close-cell foam to sit on. They go on the outside of our packs (good use of those tiny bungee cords there!) and we pull them out all the time, both on the trail and in camp. We sit on them to eat, to pull on our boots, we use them for shielding the stove if it's really blowing, kneel on them to get into the tent, and I even use them as part of my pillow at night.

If the bugs are fierce, we'll put on our headnets...but the idea of a chair...inside a tent....

Wow. That's luxury. I'm not sure we would want to carry the extra weight, or find the actual chair comfortable. But I appreciate the investigative research! Tell us what you find out, Howie!
