With all the gear out these days it is easy to be overwhelmed with technology. Whether it’s the latest, greatest, waterproof-breathable fabric. Or the newest, lightest tent etc. One piece of gear that is still a favorite is my Crazy Creek camp chair. I just ordered my third one. That’s the third one in twenty years.
I bought my first one right out of high school. It served me well for many years of campfire sitting, camping, or just hanging out on the tailgate eating lunch. It is always stored in the rig for emergencies. Such a simple design and the company is still based in Red Lodge Montana.
My second was replaced out of the Crazy Creek reps van. He came in to show new product and mentioned the lifetime warranty. One of my straps had started to separate so he said to go grab the old one and he’d give me a new one. That one saw its fair share of similar adventures but a few new twists thrown in, diaper changes, emergency sleeping pad, a kneeler for working in the garden.
Enter Crazy Creek #3. The metal stays had started to come loose on #2 when I saw the newest version, the Hexlite 2.0. Sure I could have sent my second chair in for replacement under the lifetime warranty but with such a small price I’ve gotten a lot in return from this product. So now, my newest Crazy Creek will hopefully get me through ten more years of campfires and quality times spent outdoors in high meadows and under the stars.

“… I was impressed with the HexaLite’s feathery weight and packability… In the woods, around the fire, this chair seems as comfortable as a La-Z-Boy®”

This is the chair my daughter has with her at camp in Vermont this summer, but first it was mine. I carried this very chair with me on all the miles I hiked on the #PCT in 1995, when it doubled as both my camp chair and my sleeping pad. It was my favorite thing. I reclined in it and ate countless dinners while watching the sun set. I read books in it while gently rocking. I slept on it and dreamed and woke and began another day. In all that dreaming I never once imagined that someday I’d pass it on to my daughter. I never imagined it would last so long that it would know not only my wild stories, but hers. This isn’t an ad or a paid whatever. It’s just the truth and a bit of astonishment. Thank you, @crazycreek #staywild #keeprocking
