asdve23rveavwa Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Currently have a couple of standard camping chairs for the hut. I've searched google and have seen a few alternatives. Wondering if any fellow OFNers have found reasonably priced alternatives? Must have back support, and, in my case, support a 6' 2" frame weighing 230 lbs. Cheers, Frank
Nipfisher Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 They had really good strong and lite folding chairs at Costco last year. I think they were $25-$35 each but well worth the money.
skeeter Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 i use just regular folding card table chairs in my hut. and when traveling to and from the hut i lay them on there sides to help hold every thing in the sleigh.
asdve23rveavwa Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Posted January 14, 2011 White bucket! Great back support on that one
NAW Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 I use the smaller version of the folding camping chair. They don't have arm rests. I bought two of the camo one at crappy tire a year ago for $10 each on sale. I use them for duck and sometimes turkey hunting too.
I'mHooked Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 I'd like to find where this HT chair is available on its own. At Lebaron it comes with a flip over and not seperately. Anyone know where you can get one of these? I'm 6'1 210 lbs and it was fairly comfortable. You're able to spread your legs out which can make it easier to get up from.

irishfield Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Just type HT sports chair in a google search... Looks like the HT is sold out everywhere... but they make the exact same chair in Frabil and Eskimo badging, and looks like you can get them..

I am a tad heavier then you ...with no problems so far. On it's third season. Beans and I also use the same chair for carp fishing in the summer. I know he has a few pictures of us sitting in them. Keep an eye on the Canadian Tire flyers if you are not in a big hurry. They always come on for $9.99 Edited January 14, 2011 by crappieperchhunter
Governator Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 I use a tripod chair from bass pro. I find it very comfortable and very portable. I use it for pretty much all camping/fishing trips. http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Tripod-Chair/product/10210131/-1626008
Nipfisher Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 I find the tri-pod chairs to be ball-breakers. No fun sitting all day with your junk squished.

They always come on for $9.99 Like Steve sez...this stool like chair is much easier to get off of when your alarm goes off rather than struggling out of a camp chair...I've gone through 3 camp chairs the past few years no matter how strong they say they are but this one keeps on ticking... Folds down for easier carrying... Edited January 14, 2011 by Beans

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Here's a neat one.. http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=1139364&type=product&WT.tsrc=CSE&WT.mc_id=nextag&WT.z_mc_id1=1139364&rid=40&mr:referralID=f2738e93-2004-11e0-ad8e-001b2166c62d

Pretty slick, not exactly light weight, but, a cool idea.

A friend of mine bought one exactly like that at basspro and i think he only paid 20 bucks after taxes.

aplumma Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 The tripods may be o.k. on the ice but I bought one for the boat and it was good for less than 5 min. before my boys said uncle. Art

What, You don't were a cup with one of those umm...hand warmers in it? Hmmm...think I've stumbled on the next great cross marketing idea! The Fishing "Cup 'n Heater" Tag Line: "Keep your sons warm & protected from the hard knocks that stiff water fishing sometimes delivers" Who's going to be the 1st to place an order?
