A small folding chair on your pack? I hope I am reading that wrong. Pete, have you ever seen the Rockies? You are advocating packing a chair up mountains after elk? I hope not.
I thought the exact same thing! Dude, you are recommending carrying a chair???? I don't care what size it is, every ounce matters at 10,000'. We got these little foam pads; they look like a thermarest, but are only 18" x 14" or so. Weigh just a few ounces, but put it down on wet ground and your a$$ stays dry and warm. That's the extend of my sitting comfort. Tarp is worth the extra ounces in your pack...used mine in a snow storm once, not sure it saved our lifes, but made it a lot less miserable and helped avoid hypothermia.
