I also learned the hard way that you need to watch how you sit on the cots when they are set up, depending upon how they are constructed. A buddy sat on the end of the cot I was using and the frame bent because it wasn’t designed to have that much weight at that particular point. I’d also suggest you have some kind of go-between from the cot’s footings and the floor of your tent. I always keep thick cardboard squares to help keep the cot from ripping through the tent floor in case of something weird happening – which it always seems to happen when you’re camping.
The chair also has the round mesh cupholder found on most chairs of this type. Like others in its category, this chair comes with an over-the-shoulder carry bag, but some testers found it was light and compact enough to carry without the case. I’m a writer for Wirecutter covering outdoors and travel gear. I’ve lived in Southern California, Washington, and the home state of Vermont.
In the sections that follow, we’ll tell you everything this well-priced chair has to offer and be quick to point out its shortcomings. That way, you’ll have all the information you need to decide for yourself if this is the high-weight capacity camping chair you’ve been looking for. If that sounds good, let’s jump right in and take a closer look. Several Wirecutter staffers have owned the Coleman chair for years, using it on camping trips, in backyards, and at sporting events. For the most part, it’s held up well, but one common quibble is that the seat bottom begins to sag after several years of use.
GCI Outdoor makes several rocking chairs, and we plan to try more of them to see if they’re any better than the Freestyle Rocker, which we weren’t enthusiastic about. The cupholders on the L.L.Bean Kids’ Base Camp Chair aren’t as roomy as those on our picks, and they’re not as adept at holding stubby water bottles or mugs of hot chocolate. After eight years of consistent use by senior editor Kalee Thompson’s two young boys, the REI Co-op Camp Chair is, she reports, faded and worn but still holding up.
Past Kellyville, Bristow and Depew, you’ll come to Stroud, which is one of only two Oklahoma locations with an original Ozark Trail obelisk. Obelisks are tall, four-sided, narrow structures topped with a pyramid-shaped stone. The original obelisks were painted stark white with green accents and displayed the nearest town name and distance to each. The Ozark Trail Association was founded in 2002, and has added more than 50 miles of trail to date, most constructed by volunteers. The association continues to maintain and expand the Ozark Trail. April 29th, 2006 was proclaimed “Ozark Trail Day” by Missouri’s governor, and in May 2008 a portion of the trail was designated a National Recreational Trail.
