Mountainsmith Slingback Ultralight Chair Review + Klymit V Seat

[@simonward4520]

Brilliant bit of kit. I have a dodgy back so stooping over anything can be a pain. Abit of a game changer for me. Cheers good little review.

[@MrWildWales]

Nice one it's a great little lightweight chair 👌

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

That's a ridiculously simple but brilliant idea 👍😊

[@TeaInValhalla]

Morning Adam! What a little beauty and of you already have the poles, winning 🏆👍 You nailed it too, I was thinking this isn't going to work! I'm sure it would take Kat with ease, I have my doubts about it hold me tho lol! Or if I'd bend the poles 🤭😳 Now the inflated back rest was super cool too! Thanks Adam 🥰 Have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 🗺 🧭

[@MrWildWales]

You'd be surprised I think it would be fine for anybody! A pretty cool design for hikers who want a relax half way through 👌 cheers

[@hikingmule]

I had never seen that before. Thanks for the review!

[@MrWildWales]

Thanks for checking it out 😊!

[@jamesoutdoors.6450]

Genius invention.

[@stevenaustin2860]

i bet you don,t know what im thinking adam lol no i luv the seat thou and it weighs nothing. hey isn,t it great when you got all that countryside on your doorstep you can just pop out for a hour for a brew in the woods haha luv your video,s mate they cheer me up great video mate can,t wait till you go out again

[@MrWildWales]

Not a bad thing is it and yeah I'm lucky enough to live close by to lots of wilderness 👍

[@stevenaustin2860]

I'm the same mate got lovely Lancashire countryside just 50 yards from my doorstep. No Adam since I got into wild camping you have been very helpful and professional mate and helped me out alot mate so thanx again mate honest and I wish you and your family all the best for the future adam mate

[@Camp-N-Wilddragon]

Cool I was looking at these ages ago, almost did buy it but thought I don't use trekking poles lol. Its a brilliant idea though. If I do ever decide to get the trekking poles in use, I might consider one at some point. Great review adam

[@MrWildWales]

Once you try trekking poles it's hard to go back especially for long distance! Cheers

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Was looking at those a while back. Clever design. Valley and Peak show thenpics with the seat pad on the top though. Odd they didnt put a pouch in the top to hold it there. 👍

[@MrWildWales]

I think the pad would slip off the top straight away there unless I modded it. I think I'll just use a foam sit mat under it

[@NoviceWildCamper]

@@MrWildWales sounds better idea. Everyone's got a foam sit pad 😂

[@darrell_do_nice5653]

Definitely getting one 👌

[@MrWildWales]

Class! Hope you like it

[@northernimagesphotography]

That looks a good idea, only thing is I’m buggered once I’ve used my poles to put the tent up 😂 If I’m out on a day hike I’d just use my foam sit pad. The sea to summit air chair or thermarest trekker chair that turn your air mat into a chair might be better options for similar money.

[@MrWildWales]

That's true good point 👍 I think it's definitely worth having a back rest if you can though

[@DevelenTsai]

I think you can tie a poncho to the trekking poles to do the same thing 😊

[@MrWildWales]

😀🤟

[@DevelenTsai]

​@@MrWildWalesI use this on the Helinox style chair for the head and back support, you can try it, it's very comfy!😊

[@willisblevins3759]

Nice show thanks

[@northernswedenstories1028]

I love this design. My only issue is that the times I like chilling in a chair are almost always when ive set up camp, and then I use hiking poles for my tent. So I'd need to carry extra poles to use it..

[@MrWildWales]

Yeah that's true its only good before you set you tent up. I've ended up not taking it quite a lot. I suppose you could pull the poles out of the tent when you're using it

[@R33CO]

I love the idea Mate. I agree with you for a few grams more they could have designed the klymir v seat to sit on top and not underneath, as its going to get punctured. Also I would also like to see it a little wider. ATB Reeco

[@MrWildWales]

Would have made more sense I think! Cheers

[@dazbass007]

neat little bit of kit im the same as northern images my tent uses my trekking poles do you think it would work with some chopped down tent poles ?

[@MrWildWales]

Depends how strong the pole is. I think you'd be better off with chopping a couple of sticks to size

[@Jonsoh811]

I’m looking for a chair and this might do the trick, but I don’t own trekking poles. What length/diameter should the poles/sticks be to work? You could then make it a tripod for more stability if need be. (Even DIY the fabric for extra width if need be) How do you experience the width? And the fact that you’re on/close to the ground? Could you put your pack beneath it for added height?

[@MrWildWales]

Hmm I'm not sure you could try some sticks and chop them down if too large. It's pretty stable with 2 surprisingly. I did use it the other night and the ground got saturated and I started getting a damp

[@KernowCamps]

This feels at first like an April Fools but at the same time like a genius idea!

[@MrWildWales]

It seems like it shouldn't work but it's great!

[@purechaos7188]

Just looking at the thumb bit - a bin bags cheaper and just as comfy - lighter and you can put stuff in it - watching now but have no hope for it 😂☮️👍 hope y well

[@MrWildWales]

A bin bag 😂😂😂

[@purechaos7188]

Love y keep em coming 😂☮️

[@BoshOutdoors]

What's the cold bum factor like?

[@MrWildWales]

I couldn't feel it in 20 mins I think I'd put a sit mat underneath it for night time

[@TeaInValhalla]

1st ☕ ❤ ☕

[@STTC]

Hummmm great review but I don’t think it’s a winner Adam,,,you need to be off the floor for me to call it a chair,,, great review though, good video cheers

[@MrWildWales]

Fair enough cheers!

[@southbucksbushcraft6572]

Nice system that mate. But my ass wouldnt fit on that id end up with-a cheek each side of it hahaha

[@MrWildWales]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Trevelyon006]

Yet again, I'd the design was integrated into a backpack with a small frame then you'd be carrying it with you regardless 😎

[@MrWildWales]

I think that's got to be done!

[@northernswedenstories1028]

It's been done before. I forget who it was but pretty sure it was a UK designer. The backpack had two sockets on the front of the pack for hiking pole to slot into, then you just leaned against your pack

[@daniellyne1]

I'd never get up from there, more importantly what was you eating looked like mac and cheese

[@MrWildWales]

It was chicken curry with rice and potatoes 👌

[@daniellyne1]

@@MrWildWales nice 👌

[@ostelot1biondi800]

Nice little chair.. £40 for a piece of material though... checking Amazon for a cheaper knockoff!!

[@MrWildWales]

Not cheap no! I think that was for the two items though

[@mediocreman561]

That is an old American Indian trick.

[@MrWildWales]

Is it? I guess they would have used a skin or something?

[@mediocreman561]

@@MrWildWales Yes. It was a leather type.

[@calihiker7980]

The thermarest zseat May work better with the mtsmith than the klymit

[@MrWildWales]

I'll take a look at that one 👌
