We love to spend time getting closer to nature, but we’re slightly less keen on getting too familiar with cold, hard, muddy ground. Which is why we love a good camping chair – and the Big Six from Big Agnes is one of the most comfortable options out there. This is a perch that adds a little luxury to any campsite, thanks to its extended height that offers great back support. The wide seat provides ample space to sit, while the chair is an accessible 20”/51cm off the ground, so you won’t find it a struggle to a) get into it or b) get out again. Although it’s so comfortable that whether you’ll want to do b) is debatable. The Big Six is also quick and easy to set up and packable enough to stash in the boot of a car for ultimate convenience

Big Agnes is a small, independent US outdoor brand out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado – a small ski-town that we’ve never visited but which we like to imagine is full of mountain-loving, trail-hiking outdoorsy types. That would make sense, since the company makes some of the best ultralight backpacking gear around, including the award-winning , and tents. It is kit that has clearly been designed by a gang of folks who love sleeping in the dirt just as much as we do here at WildBounds.
Oh, and if you’re still wondering where the heck that name Big Agnes comes from, we did try to find out. Depending on who you talk to, it’s either an affectionate tribute to a legendary truck drivin’ mountain mama, or a 12,000 foot peak in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. We kinda like the first one better.
