For today's #whatsinyourpack:

Camp chairs. Yay! Or nay?

I've tried all the ultralight camp chairs at REI. The Nemo moonlight was the most comfortable by far for my big frame but heavy at 2lbs. They just came out with the elite version that is 1 lb 2 oz (without the foot pad).

I'm seriously considering getting this but it's definitely a luxury item and adds weight to my pack.

Do you bring a camp chair backpacking? I would love to hear from any #thruhiker's!

There are times when I camp with other people, like my family, where we just hike into a nice site with heavy packs and enjoy a luxury camp.

I'll let them chime in but I am pretty sure this is not a thru hike item. Just to give you an idea how you start to think about what you carry I had a small aluminum pot grabber and ended up sending it home because I could use my bandana.

@HikerGeek you make a great point. I just switched out my stocking cap with a beanie because it will save me 1.3 oz.
