I would like to see a lightweight backpacking stool or chair. Something like a tripod type design that will get you up off the ground. Something you could kick back in, maybe semi recline with lower back support would be nice. It would need to fold up compact and be under 1 pound.
Crazy Creeks are fine but I want to sit off the ground,not just have something between your butt and the ground.
I've been running this around in my head...may have to try and build one myself. I know I can get there with wood but that will end up too heavy. Probably would have to have some type carbon fiber frame to meet strength vs. weight criteria.
Checkout the Outdoorsman. Was at the SCI show in Vegas last week and they had a really light weight chair on display.

The world is chock-a-block with great gear... the only area I see going backwards is packs.
Packs are getting lighter yet with less comfortable suspensions.
My "ideal" pack would be 5,000 ci's, a simple sack with double daisy chains, top lid, and nothing else besides compression straps and a couple of water bottle pockets... no zippers except on the top lid. Suspension would be of the old Dana Design, Arcteryx Bora, Osprey Crescent variety... in other words, a Bloody Great Sack hung on a real suspension.
A Dyneema body with 500 Denier Cordura bottom would be perfect.
Is this one of the Dana Design packs you were refering to?
