People I Want To Travel Back In Time and Shake Hands With: The Inventor of the Camping Chair
Posted by Jack under Meaningless Tirades
It seems like these folding camping chairs started appearing around 15 years ago or so (who knows how long they’ve been around), so whoever invented it is probably not dead, but his achievement should definitely be recognized. As an avid tailgater, griller, drinker, and sitter, I use these things just about every weekend. They’re easy to figure out, easy to use, highly functional, easily transportable, inexpensive, and above all else, comfortable. The dude who came up with these things was truly inspired when he (or she, but these things just scream “dude invention”) came up with it. I feel like shaking the inventor’s hand is not enough. He should probably be deified.
