Cohutta Wilderness Blog: My Review of Trekker Chair

The Cohutta Wilderness

We love this place and I want to take my childern and grandchildren there so please please pratice Leave No Trace Principals! (see links if you don't know what they are)

This land was intensivly logged until the 1920's (70% or so). The area has recovered remakably well. Now all that remains are, old road beds, cables, and the ocassional railroad ties.

It became a wilderness area in 1975 @ 36,977 acres it is the largest NFW in the southeast. (The Cohutta Wilderness ajoins the Big Frog Wilderness (8,055 acres) across the state line in TN.

Highest Points: Big Frog Mountian 4,224(TN) East Cowpen (4,200 ish)

My Review of Trekker Chair

Originally submitted at Rock Creek Outfitters

The Trekker Chair by Therm-A-Rest is their lightest, most compact convertible chair sleeve that sets up fast and is easily adjustable for maximum comfort. Just put your sleeping pad inside the inserts on each end, and cinch down with the side straps.

Excellent Pickup

By Jkayaker from Dalton, GA on 2/4/2010

Pros: Compact, Lightweight, Dries Quickly, Easy to Pack, Comfortable

Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Campgrounds

Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer

There is nothing better after a long day on the trail than to be able to sit and lean back (and I don't mean on a log). I have carried a Crazy Creek for years. But I wanted something lighter weight, and easier to pack. And I found the perfect solution. This chair is it, it rolls up small (about the size of 2 tent poles), its comfortable and dries quickly. Just watch where you sit you butt you could puncture you pad, and watch out for sparks!
