The frame felt robust and the legs sat securely on the ground to give stability, despite the small tree roots on our camp site. Derrek Sigler has been a professional outdoor writer for more than two decades since earning his Master’s Degree in creative writing with a thesis about fishing humor. But if you ask anyone that knows him, he’s been telling fishin’ stories since he was old enough to hold a pole. He has written for Cabela’s and served as editorial director for Gun Digest books. Has been rated for 300 pounds, but can hold more weight comfortably. Double cup holders are also extra large to hold bigger drinks. 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. Regarding extras, the Ozark Trail XXL Director camping chair has a fold-out side table attached to one of the chair arms. The table is big enough to hold a small plate, which makes camp dining convenient, and a few miscellaneous supplies if and as needed. As you can see from the numbers, this is a big chair. The Ozark Trail XXL Director chair’s metal frame also has an all-business look about it too, which clearly sends the message that this is a go-anywhere chair.

There is some storage, but not as much as a solid kayak, but there is one extremely coo feature that the other kayaks can’t touch. Remove the top panel and the BOTE turns into a stand-up paddle board (SUP). What is even more impressive is the amount of people that are sticking with camping and outdoor sports. This one is the ultimate solution for the solo camper. You can stow this featherlight, compressible chair in a backpack or even a work bag. Testers preferred the Coleman chair’s thoughtfully placed mesh storage pouch over those of its competitors. This pouch is big enough to stow gear like a phone, book, or tablet. The Ozark Trail Camp Chair follows a similar model to most other standard camping chairs and is similar in size and standard features. The construction of the Comfort Chair is very solid and robust and this is reflected in the weight of the chair. The Ascend 128X Sit-on-Top Fishing Kayak is simply amazing. The big news here is the Ascend Yak-Power system that has the fishing kayak pre-wired for your electronics. This system has a wiring harness, master controller and 3 power plugs that let you run your fish finder, GPS, lighting rig, and other powered accessories without a major hassle. This lets you set up your fishing kayak how you want it, and makes it perfect for all of your angling adventures. We also found that this extra head area gave the chair a more secure feeling and gave you confidence to lean back into the chair. The chair is longer and bulkier as a result of this, but if the main use of this chair is for the garden, outdoor picnics or spending time camping, then it's the perfect choice. When it comes to portability, it’s hard to beat an inflatable kayak. However, the problem with an inflatable fishing kayak has always been structure. They just don’t feel like a kayak should for fishing. These are a sweet inflatable boat that looks and feels just like a rigid-body kayak would.
