I tried out NEMO’s Moonlite Reclining Camp Chair at an event during this summer’s last Outdoor Retailer show in Denver.

It’s not only comfortable, but also lightweight (1 lbs, 14 oz) and packs up into a convenient carry case. It will bear up to 300 lbs.

NEMO is showing them as sold out but web searches turn up various colors available on-line as well as in-store at different retailers including REI. Additionally, FirstLite has the Antler model in-stock.

The Big Gear Show 22 – Bus Bum

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2022

Bus Bum was developed out of necessity by a longtime member of LA’s textile industry. She related that she had once sat on something that stained her pants so she sewed up a padded seat cushion which could be rolled up.

Bus Bum is available in a variety of colors. It is made in the US from anti-microbial and durable US materials. The slip cover can also be removed for cleaning.

ORSM 22 – Grüezil Bag

Thursday, June 16th, 2022

This Outdoor Retailer Summer Market is Germany’s Grüezil Bag premiere in the US.

What I find compellling about the brand is that the use a combination of down (70%) and wool (30%) as insulation. They cover their down with AlmWolle which protects the down from moisture, even when there is high humidity.

This survival model seen here integrates a bug net and is designed to go down to around 40 deg F.
