A folding chair to go with you on your travels

Few people realize that the humble folding chair is one of the oldest pieces of furniture – used by Egyptians, and then later the Greeks and Romans alike – both as portable chairs by army commanders as well as in the home. Ever since, folding chairs have been an integral part of life at home and on holiday. You’ve seen them everywhere – in the back yard, at the beach, in parks, school halls and even at sporting events. You can even get a folding chair that doubles as a walking stick should you need one.

Many people simple balance their budget for a cross between comfort and the weight and space their folding chair takes. For some, a tripod campstool is the perfect seating to carry anywhere – at least if the alternative is to pull up a large stump or sit on the ground. Others who value their comfort, plumb for the fold up director’s chair in a bag which comes complete with cup/can holder. There’s no doubt that this luxury is one way to feel in charge of all you survey - the modern day equivalent to the army commander’s folding stool. For most thought there’s the pragmatic realization that sometimes you have to take your creature comforts where and when you can.

For family camping where there are no picnic tables, weigh up the option eating on the ground with the logistics of transporting table and chairs to help make the vacation more enjoyable - there’s no doubt the simple folding chair wins hands down over other options. So when you want a bit of comfort to go with you on your travels, bring your favourite one with you.
