Take a seat wherever you like; any terrain becomes suitable for you with the Crazy Creek Original Kids Camp Chair! Easily packed inside a backpack or carry bag, this compact seat makes an excellent addition to your packing list. On average, people spend nearly 25 years of their lives sitting down. Don’t spend a moment of it with wet pants and a sore butt!
The Worst Hiking Trip
Comfort can be hard to come by when you’re trekking a rough, woodsy trail. It’s even worse when it’s storming and your surroundings are drenched. Crazy Creek founder Rob Hart and the Outward Bound gang found this out one dark and stormy night when they found themselves cold, soaked, and miserable. Rob sat down on a wet tree stump with just one wish: a dry place to sit.
There was no salvaging that trip, but it did plant the seed that would lead to Rob’s patented, packable, and extremely portable Crazy Creek camping chair. Based on the old, wooden canoe chair his grandfather would bring on camping trips, Rob planned and prototyped until he had perfected the portable product that is available to you now.
