Most expensive camp chair!

[GordonThree]

A friend sent this link for a ridiculously over priced folding camp chair from the same folks that brought you over priced coolers YETI

$300 folding camp chair

Maybe worth this price if the frame were carbon fiber and the mesh graphene?

Most of my family's camping is boondocking in the Mojave desert in the wintertime and it gets pretty chilly out there.

These things are comfortable and warm.

They only last about three years, but the "protection plan" that they upsell you on is good for two or three replacements (I forget).

I was with some folks this winter in Arizona that had them, they did look comfortable .

I do use my 20 oz YETI mug for my coffee every day and swear by it.. I NORMALLY do get what you pay for, BUT . . . .

I am NOT in that $300 chair club.. I may splurge and spend $75 if DW really likes a chair.... but $300?? :h

Heck, we wait and buy our beach chairs from Costco as they are being sold off for the year at discount

However, even though with my build I have to get the super heavy duty camp chairs, paying 200 - 300% for a Yeti branded product over a store brand isn't in the cards.

I still don't understand how the Yeti insulated cup knows to keep hot things hot and cold things cold. exactly, How does it know?

Brand equals status, confidence, spirit of accomplishment, pride, etc. It sometimes also equals a statement of quality. Everyone on this board is guilty of it to some extent. Raise your hand if you have never ever, EVER paid more for something just because it was a certain brand...perhaps even because you expected it to be better based on the name. Maybe you paid $5K or $10K more to get that truck with the certain trim package that made you “feel better”. Maybe you buy your shoes from a department store instead of WalMart. Maybe you like Charmin UltraSoft instead of the commercial quality stuff you can get for a fraction of the price...which does the same job. But maybe you just haven’t YET decided to spend a little more on a camping chair.

My hand is raised.

I'd like to sit in one to see how comfortable it is. I have a Yeti travel mug, and it is the best travel mug I've owned so far (keeps coffee hot for hours in the winter).

I used to make fun of any camp chair that cost over $19.99 - thinking any more was a waste of money. Until I sat in a "higher end" chair (~$50) and thought "holy mackerel, I didn't know folding camp chairs can be comfortable!".

I don't see myself spending that kind of money on a camp chair, but I would like to see (sit) one in person.

Yup, but it still absolutely baffles me when I watch The Price Is Right and see a few purses (basically a couple pieces of leather sewn together and emblazoned with some 'designer's' name) end up costing the same or more than a very technologically-advanced motorcycle!! Really?? Craziness!

I still have a couple of my $10 chairs, I've had them for going on 15 years. I can buy a lot of chairs for $300!

Only if it is cooled and heated fine Corinthian leather, gold and silver trim, has a heated and cooled beverage holder/dispenser and Playboy Playmate sits in my lap and gives me a manicure etc every day.

We are big Yeti fans... we have coolers, cups, water jugs, even the dog bowl. We mostly use Cabela's points from our credit card to buy them. And $300 for a camping chair is stupid. My favorite chair cost $50 and has hydraulic rockers on it.

Same here , bought a couple of those fold up rockers, caught them on sale for around $40 at Camping World . They fold up nice, and have a handy carry handle.

I used 2 of these for 12 years. They now occupy our pool patio.Chair
