Camping chairs

@ibafran - Next time you need gear repair or something like the zipper on the tank bag, explore horse tack shops. If they don't offer repair services, ask them who does tack repair and likely they will have some resources. These folks do heavy duty materials and leather every day and moto gear or custom strap work is often simple for them. I've had really good results at very reasonable prices from these types of repair folks.

I use Marchway high back chairs from Amazon; strong, amazingly comfortable,they handle weight; pack small, and a good price. I carry 2 of them, also 2 folding stool/"tables" so I can put my feet up or set my adult beverage down. They get a lot of use, are easy to fold and set up, and are very light.

Mucho & Boo-coop thanx for that.
I have heard that boat cover shops and awning shops will sometimes do small repairs. People who do custom seating or auto seating repair might be looked to.
Shops that make huge banners are worth a try. People who work with sails be it boating or para-sailing or hang-gliding might do a small repair.
Suppliers of circus tents and revival show tents might know who repairs them?

The local sewing supply shops will have recommendations.

Yes, I have the Magic Awl With Waxed Thread Tool. The blood and gore were expansive. And yet, I will still try that tool on occasion. One has not truly lived until one has stabbed one's thumb so severely that it is tender for a year.

ps: I no longer tell the fool backing up the power drill with his paw/finger to not do that UNLESS the fool is under 16yrs old.

edit: My daughter has a simple homeowners' sewing machine. With a needle and thread adjustment, it will sew the straps found on Ancra tie-downs and the like. The strapping can be bought in bulk if need be. She has sewed several custom bike straps for me putting loops along where I wanted them. I would do it myself but for some strange reason, she won't let me touch any of her stuff?

I've found a local luggage shop that also does repairs. Not too pricey and speedy service. They also sew on IBA badges :cool:.

I'm inclined to get things repaired these days. Especially if I've laid out some serious dosh for it. Trying to stay away from buying things with a short life before throwing it in the bin.
