"Hi, this is Bruce Lessels from Zoar Outdoor for expertvillage.com talking about camping. So experienced campers often want somewhere to sit at night and hang out, have a drink with some friends and maybe sit around and play cards at the table. One of the best things for that is a camp chair, these camp chairs are easy, you fold them up they just fold right up like that and you can put them in your car or your boat. Not really recommended for hiking if you’re backpacking but if you are coming by car or by boat and you have a little more space, a camp chair is a nice way to go. There’s also a more compact version a lot of hikers use and these are just sort of sit on the ground type camp chair but they give you nice back support and they do fold up nice and small so you can bring them in your backpack and they don’t take up a whole lot of room. You can also get camp chairs like this that are basically a foam, that are basically a nylon case for thermarest type pad, foam pad and those will save even more space cause all they are is the nylon case. Camp tables, this is another great invention, this is a roll up table that you can use if you’re canoe camping or rafting or car camping and this just rolls up into a small package but it gives you a nice sturdy table for playing cards, for reading, for laying out food, for doing all sorts of things. So consider some camp furniture as an option, if you’re a real woodsman you can also go out and build it yourself but that’s a whole other course."
