My fat ass is too much for an aluminum chair. I have the cabellas similar to Stans but are the rocking chair version. Heavy but totally worth it. Should last a long long time.
 
Another vote for Cabela's chairs. Lots of designs / options to choose from and as heavy duty as you need. PLUS, and probably most important, Cabela's branded products are covered under a lifetime warranty, including chairs.

I actually had an employee remind me of that on a recent stop to pick up another chair and took him up on it. Next trip I took back 3 broken units and got a $120 store credit.

that alone makes me want to pick a few up.
 
Well, I knew it would happen. I setup the Chinese foxwing by myself this weekend as a test to see if one person could do it and if so how quickly. As I unfolded it, I bent the aluminum frame when I let the ribs sag too far. I am going to unbolt the hinge and add some steel reinforcements to the channel. 14 gauge aluminum certainly wasn't up to the task. I might modify the frame and buy a longer SS bolt to tie into the bottom of the frame for additional support.

Arggh.. bummer. Was talking about that to someone the other day. Maybe longer bolt with a piece of flat stock under the middle extrusion, then a sleeve for a bushing under that, and fastener under third extrusion. I wonder if it could be made compatible with a smittybilt replacement hinge.http://www.etrailer.com/Accessories...btEFsc2ed9vlW4jWvf1iw4R8vs2gdJYwZIaAsVz8P8HAQ
 
Porta Potty suggestions?

I know, I know - you're crapping in a bucket, so what's the difference? The answer is, I don't know what I don't know - I generally don't crap in buckets.

Pop up shelter plus pett toilet

tent... tons of similar options. just check height if you want to use as shower, some are a bit short

Walmart has the toilet and bags if you chose to bag your swag. The shelter is great for restricting others view of you but sometimes it really interferes wth the bigger picture ;)

Works well. Fresh bag each day, drop in a deodorizer, and put the lid back on for the trip home. Don't forget the foam noodle .... very important. :flush:

For best experience it needs the view Jason just posted.

This worked pretty good at the Hurricane Creek trip.
 
You guys are funny. This is strictly for the wife in the situations where we're car camping and it's the middle of the night and she doesn't want to walk to the bathroom. Buckets and shovels are fine for me. :) I'm looking for something a little more civilized.

That view though!!!!
 
tent and toilet not civilized enough? serious question...... just not sure how much more youll get short of porcelain or some crazy portable incinerator device

and yes that sh*t was off the charts! :D
 
Man I've been doing it all wrong. The chair is an awesome idea. Maybe a chair and a bucket. I could see me have the coco splatters on the chair legs.
 
coco splatters... priceless.
