The best camp chair out there

[Drewboyaus]

One of the things about really good camp chairs that browns me off is the packed size......they are nearly all so forking big!
So far the best trade off for me so far is the OzTrail Big Boy. Comfy but at least packs to a reasonable size. My ARB chair is great except for the fact that it's packed size is a joke.

I have an OzTent king kokoda chair, for camping. The best I've sat in personally, and I've tried a few. They were around the $100 mark at the show. I think they go for around 140-150 in the retails store usually.

I had an old model of the Oztent king goanna. Built to take my weight. Had it for at least 5 years and was still going strong (but got left behind in the last move). I looked on the weekend and I notice they have an updated model with better drink holder and stuff now. It is well worth getting the chairs that state they are rated 150kg+. The others just fall apart after having me sit on them constantly (I'm about 120kg). I might try the king kokoda next time too.

Just looked that one up and it also looks good. Same 150kg rating. I'll check that out as well and see which one I can get out of it and the Oztent ones for the best price. BCF sometimes have specials or members specials, so might get that one at the right price if the timing is right. Keep putting it off until it corresponds with payday and a trip where I really need it.

I have to so agree with Drew on this one. As much as the King Kokoda that I have is so comfy, in it's bag, it is as big as a complete packed up bag for my XL Bunker swag! If not bigger... Times it by 2, and that is a lot of volume taken up in the car, or on the roof rack.
Speaking of packing up... I bought the XL bunker, self inflating king matress and king size sleeping bag... I unpacked everything and set it up... When it came time to pack everything up again, I invented new swear words! How in the fark did they squeeze all that stuff in their bags is just beyond me. Especially the self inflating mattress... It's ridiculous.

With the mattress, roll it up as tight as you can with the flaps open and when you get to the end, seal the vents and unroll it. Then you should be able to reroll it even tighter, when you get towards the end open the vents to let all the air out and close them when done. That's the best way to do it.

Just bought a couple of King Kokoda off eBay, like them over the Goanna because of the solid arm.
Both have the lumbar support and are the most comfortable chair I have sat in.
The local BCF must have about 25 chairs to try, hopefully they are as good as I reckon on our first trip with them!
BCF $129.00 each. eBay $205.00 for 2 delivered

until its done
Kneeling on it as you roll it helps compress it too, roll a bit - lean on it, roll a bit - lean on its done
