Favorite Luxury Item?

[psirus7]

What is your favorite luxury item? Something you don't need, but really enjoy during your backcountry pursuits?

 

[Pdzoller]

My Helinox ground chair. It’s really hard to justify the weight in most cases and utterly impossible for other situations. I personally think some things that add a little comfort can help keep me out longer though.

Helinox Chair Zero. I'm a weight scrimper for sure and I make room for it. The little bit of comfort and relaxation between chores is worth it for me. Half worn out Hey Dudes for camp shoes is my other vice. So nice to get out of your boots at the end of a long day in the mountains.

I love my helinox too, but they take up so much room in the pack!

I can do a 7-10 day CO early hunt out of a 4000ci pack with the chair with a some room leftover

Some ideas

Gear I Can't Live Without.

What non-essential gear can you not live without? I mean the little extra somethin' in your pack that you realized that once you packed it, you can never hit the field without it.

What “luxury” items do you carry on your back?

This is primarily for experienced backpack / back country guys. Doing my first back pack trip this fall for a late season rifle hunt. What items do you bring from comfort that aren’t strictly necessary but you feel are worth the weight? Accustomed to horse camps so this is a change for me...

Backcountry Indulgences

What unnecessary things do you carry in every trip no matter how short, long, light, or heavy, that makes your trip that much better whether it be mentally or physically. For me i bring in a variety of european sausages and cheese. It’s heavy but man is it delicious after a long day.

Eye mask. Helps tremendously when napping or on a full moon night.

Not Backcountry but irresponsibly huge even for truck camping, I tote a 3" thick Simmons BeautySleep mattress. Wife calls it my princess mattress. Sleep so incredibly well on it. It rolls up but it's still huge.

And my Lamo, lambskin bootie slippers for the end of the day.
If I'm truck camping, I'm not roughing it!

I'm most impressed by the floor rug. Nice touch!

Lightweight chair and crocs. As others said nothing beats pulling your boots off and sitting in comfort at the end of the day.

I feel like the world needs somebody to publish a buddy heater cookbook.
