The Trailhead chair lives up to this reputation. It’s an extremely lightweight and convenient camping chair that assembles effortlessly and can hold up to 500 pounds. Impressive!

My Detailed Review: As someone large who enjoys spending time outside, I've often had issues with outdoor lawn chairs. My concern that an inferiorly constructed chair could give way anytime (trust me, this occurs more than you'd think) prevents me from completely unwinding. Even when the chair remains intact, its legs tend to sink into the loose earth, leaving another scenario where the bigger person ends up on the ground. The YETI Trailhead Camp Chair It couldn't be more distinct. The foldable mechanism is quite ingenious and setup is simple. It feels extremely sturdy and truly comfy. How did I live without this chair before?

Setting it up is quick; simply attach the fuel canister and you're set. The ignition works flawlessly at the first attempt each time. Adjusting the flame was easy—turn it high to get boiling water instantly, then lower it for a gentle simmer. Whether I wanted steak, grilled onions, tacos, or even Rice Krispie treats, this stove handled everything effortlessly.

The tracks running virtually bow to stern on both sides of the boat allow instant rigging flexibility like never before. And now with horizontal rod storage inside the boat, it’s a totally upgraded fishing experience.

Julie says, “The kayak was so much fun! I love pedaling a kayak. Obviously, it’s great way to exercise, but there’s something about being in a kayak without any sort of motor or noise, that really connects me with the water and with nature. I get such a peaceful one-ness felling.”
