Or get in touch with Cindy Lou, her buddy Dan has a cool design that uses recycled materials.

He's supposed to be working on one with a back.  I'll see if I can light a fire under him to get this done, and if he makes one, you can try it out!  I have some non-foldable chairs that would work, but I don't think I could transport them, unfortunately.

Ma and Pa Biddle have some killer chairs. I think they even purchased them from PB years ago. They're like these : http://www.beachchairs.com/beach-chairs/beach-chairs/blueridgechair.cfm . Comfortable and they travel flat (seat comes out and then stows next to back.

If a banjo player picks in the woods, and no one is there to hear him.... is he still making an awful lot of noise?

I think he wants some that are regular chair height for pickin'.  Although, if you fall out of those low ones it's not so far before you hit the ground! LOL LOL

Thanks Adam, I tried one off those.  The back bars dig in to your back.  What do the other pickers out there use?

If you do a search from the above menu, and type in "camp stools" it will take you to the photo of the ones he made. I rescued another broken chair from the dumpster so he can make some more. I'll be bringing the 2 we already have, so you can at least try them.

All this talk of camp chairs has got me wondering if Target or Walmart will have any by the time we get to Boulder/Denver/Lyons
