WearEver Deluxe Aluminum Hi-Back Backpack Chair

At first, when I took it out of the packaging I thought, "This chair looks to low to the ground. It definitely isn't 10+ inches." Well, even though I am still not sure if it is 10 inches high, I have to say it is one of the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat in.

I went hiking with it and found a beautiful prairie in the middle of some trees. I had used the chair to carry my food, books, MP3 player & headphones, and drink bottle. I opened the chair without much difficulty and was soon engrossed in a book. I actually fell asleep without meaning to, the chair was so comfortable. The height didn't affect my comfort level at all.

The "knapsack" made a little too much noise while I was hiking (like clanking), but I bet I could have made it quieter by using cloth strategically. It was comfortable on my back, too. The space it created was big enough to carry a great many things. All in all, it is a wonderful hiking companion.

Dog Backpack Saddle Gear Bag Easy Fit for Dogs New (colors vary)

I bought two of these to use on hiking trips with my boxer and malamute. They're not bad packs, they have a lot of adjustable straps up top so you can fit it properly even on a barrel chested boxer. However, they only have one strap under the belly which makes the pack less stable, and in my boxer's case, rubbed up against his front legs and chaffed. This same strap also tends to loosen during a hike meaning later when that same boxer decided to be a little silly and rollover the pack shifted some in addition to him getting his leg caught in the loosened strap. This pack just isn't built for more than a walk around town.
