Others pack just a saucepan and leave plates and a mug at home. Everyone&#8217;s decisions are a bit crazy. So how comfortable should we be when camping and carrying everything on a motorcycle? A few years ago I realised that Touratech panniers make very comfortable seats at the camp &#8211; and useful tables to put your gas stove on, but then what do you sit on when you have decided to travel with soft bags? Crouching or kneeling or alternating between them gets excruciating after not too long. Camp chairs of course. And Helinox seems a favourite worth investigating. See here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Helinox Ground Chair vs Chair One - Motorcycle Camping Gear\" width=\"662\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uwBkQFW6Ti8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Thomas&#8217; review, I think, a lighter more comfortable chair has appeared from Helinox, the Chair Zero. It weighs 525g and packs to a package about 300mm long. The Ground chair is far too low. The Zero is comfortable to lean back into but also easy to get out of without pushing up on the earth. Here it is in my back garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-open-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4925\" srcset=\"http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-open-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-open-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-open-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-open-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-open-1024x1365.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-open-480x640.jpg 480w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-open-1216x1621.jpg 1216w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-open-188x250.jpg 188w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-open-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">its easy to fold up and put together<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-folded-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4926\" srcset=\"http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-folded-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-folded-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-folded-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-folded-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-folded-1024x1365.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-folded-480x640.jpg 480w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-folded-1216x1621.jpg 1216w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-folded-188x250.jpg 188w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Helinox-chair-folded-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its coming to Portugal with me later in the summer.
