Safari Quality Chairs, Table and Basin?

[Green Ganesha]

Looks like www.backcountry.com carries the Snow Peak tables: http://search.backcountry.com/?id=mincWu4x&q=iron+grill

Still not nearly the selection shown on their Japanese site though.

Like always we get screwed and cannot get all the cool overseas stuff.

Cabela's here in Utah are having a sale on these Alum. tables

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/t...&parentType=index&indexId=cat20148&hasJS=true

Anybody have any exp. with these???

Thinking of picking one up!

:chowtime:

 

[Desertdude]

I ordered one last year and sent it back ( before I used it outside) it did not live up to my expectations. The frame was a bit light, and the legs too small for any real world abuse. (also the feet pads are not for real outdoor terrain)

YMMV

Same old one from China that I have had for nearly 12 years - bought it in Maine - Costco used to sell them. Wooden roll top with Metal legs - larger foot pads - wraps up in a slight tube shape in a pouch.

I'm a huge fan of the Melvill and Moon products... so much so we recently started importing them. It was a tough call because they are EXPENSIVE - but quality doesn't come cheap

The Roorkhee chair is the kind of thing that lasts for decades. It's all wood, canvas, and leather. One of the best features is that, owing to it's dowel based design, it sits flat on any surface; put a brick under one of the legs and it will "self level" so that you're not rocking about. About CDN$ 250.

The Harry Moon 4 in 1 is an excellent table that easily converts into a table, bath, shaving\wash basin, or ice bucket for chilling your favourite wine.

And it you find sleeping on the ground uncomfortable they make a lovely cot, that can also double as a table for 6.

Oh yeah... They also make the absolutely BEST seat covers for Land Rovers, Toyotas, and soon Jeeps.

I've got some decent pictures if you're interested.

I have to chime in here on behalf of Melvin and Moon. I covet the roorkhee chairs, there is none better. I was in dialogue with M&M in SA to get a set of seat covers for my Defender 110. A full set cost about $500 US, but also cost and additional $500 in shipping from SA. The shipping from SA seems to double the price. I'm waiting until I go to SA to get the seat covers, and stuff them in a duffle bag and bring them back by air.

Here's a link of the only pictures of the king of seat covers I have ever seen in the apb trading ltd uk website.

I will have those in my Defender...some day. They are so damn sweet!:chowtime:

I am loving this thread. Now I just need to get some of this stuff for us to check out.

I am particularly interested in a set of these:
Lewis Drake Martin Chair

I'm really interested in these chairs and a table to match for my new expedition rigged LR3. I'm trying to go with more traditional looking furniture that will age with time!! Any feedback on these??

The current issue of the Overland Journal has a chair review....including these.

I'm going to chime up about my Pico. I've had it now for about 8 months; got it when I started my mobilization for Iraq as I realized from experience I needed a good portable field chair, and this one looked perfect. So far, it has really held up well, and it can be field maintained, with all of the parts able to come apart with a phillips screwdriver for maintenance and cleaning. I had one leg jam on me during the worst parts of training during a full up go to war rehearsal exercise at Fort Irwin California (aka Death Valley), and I was able to disassemble, repair and reassemble the chair in about 30 minutes with only a Gerber multi-tool while sitting on my cot.

I am 6 months into my Iraq deployment now. This chair has been thrown around in Hummvees, dragged on and off helicopters, and sat through sand storms and still works like a champ. Key to its happiness is a little lubrication (gun oil) on the telliscoping leg parts.

Other officers on my battle staff have been so impressed with this chair that they have also bought them (about 10 so far), and now there is a "Prius" style click going around with the Pico chair owners.

I would definitely rate this chair as "expedition worthy". I was planning a full review, but wanted to get the word out. In Kuwait, I had the back of my chair monigrammed, and I had molly strapping sewn onto the carrier bag. With the MOLLY system, the PICO has become a field office and all purpose traveling carry on. With my Toughbook and a folding table inside it, and my snacks and miscellaneous computer accessories, I have everything I need to function.

Needless to say at this point, I highly recommend this chair to anyone.

Ben,

The D1 was pretty slick, be sure to post some photos of the LR3.

Great photos on your site also!

First off, thank you for your service.

I have the less expensive version, the Xpress Lounger Arm Chair.

I use it every day at work during lunch, as there is a big shade tree behind my rig where I park at work.
Many have asked about it including a guy who parked by me last week on a Buell setup for trips.

I think both it and the Pico are very expedition worthy.

How do the Byer tables stand up to the heat of a stove (Coleman 2 burner)?

Has anyone tried one of these Alps tables?

Thanks!

The two chairs I took on vacation a few weeks back worked great.

Xpress Lounger Arm Chair

Cabela's Chaise Loungers - Black (other colors available)

Both chairs are very well made and comfortable.
The lounger one you can sleep in.
Laying back by the fire that night and seeing the stars all out, priceless.

The lounger does take up a lot of room though.
Have a carry bag for it too which takes up even more room
