Nice comparison! We have two Helinox Chair Ones and have the same issue with sinking into softer ground. We could have bought the ground sheets as well, but that just seems like a lot of extra faff. Would have gotten the Ground Chairs if we could choose again. You might already know this, but a tip for the Chair One is that you can attach the empty chair bag on the chair, before attaching the seat fabric. That way you have a pocket under the seat and a place to store a phone and a few other items, for example if the ground is muddy or sandy. If extra weight is added to the bag there's also less of chance it'll tip over or fly away when not in use. And when you want to pack down the chair you know where the bag is.
Brilliant tip mate... I did not think of this or know about this. Amazing 👏🏻 Yeah, you can add the extra ground sheet, but it one more thing you need to put on, and it has a high prizetag as well. One other thing i like about the Ground Chair, you can sit with comfort inside the tent without bending your head 👏🏻Cheers
@@tshansen Oh, right, that's a big advantage, especially when you live on the coast. 🌧😄
@@KristianPletten Indeed 👏🏻thank you for sharing this! 🔥
The other bonus of the Ground Chair, you can use it in a small tent, if the weather is inclement
. 👍
Indeed... I use it inside my tent all the time, You sit so much more comfortable inside whit the chair. And you still have room left over your head.
@@tshansenany idea please how high your head is sitting in the Ground Chair compared with sitting on a mat?
@@petergilbert72 that is a good question and something i have never tried to measure
@@tshansen it would be useful to know if you fancied setting up the chair in your home!
The first thing I do when I get to a campsite is build my Helinox chair. It’s also the last thing I put away. 👍 expensive, but worth every penny.
You and me both mate 🔥The Helinox chair is something everyone should have in their bag.
For me, better than the review was watching your video editing skills go to another level when you talk to yourself, at min. 0.08, WOW, how you did that, amazing!!
Haha, just like magic my freind 😁Just like magic 🤣Glad to hear you like to see how my skills are developing. I always keep track of my old videos so i can go back and see where it all started. And i have to say, i have come a long way the last year 🙈Thank you so much for the love and support, you are a legend 😊
Thanks for your great recommendation, Thomas. I really loved the low Helinox, very comfy after a hard day's riding. Easy to set up, easy to fold it back again, good quality. Perfect tool for the two weeks of ACT Pyrenees on my Transalp 600. Now I need some rest after 4,000 km ;-) Helinox is waiting for the next adventure. Friends also had the Helinox table with them, impressive kit as well.
Günter from Nürnberg/Germany
The Helinox chairs are great. Absolutely love them. have 3 different sizes now, and i still continue to favour the ground chair. I have been looking at the table my self. Thinking about buying it for next years travels. Thank you for reminding me. Need to see if i can find it on sale. Sounds like you have had quite the adventure mate. I hope to get down there again next year. Cheers
@@tshansen If you ride to the Pyrenees next year, Thomas, you are invited to stay with us (nearly) in the middle of Nürnberg. Sort of half-way. From here only 1,400 km to Cape Creus in the South or Hondaribbia in the North. Cheers, Günter
@@enduromotorradtouren That is highly appreciated mate, and so nice of you to offer. Will take notes and surly give a notice if I’m travelling near your place. Cheers mate 🔥
Top review, thanks for the detailed feedback
Glad you found it helpful mate 👏🏻🔥
Getting out of either of these chairs is like a fitness test for over 40’s
Hahaha.... well, it is hard to disagree with that 🤣👏🏻
A must have in every long journey. I have the Chinese copy... I love it
Yeah, i see alot of brands coming out with similar products and they look good and sturdy as well 👏🏻
link to the chinese ones ?is there a ground design ?
Thank you for the review - I have a Ground Chair on order as tired of sitting on cold wet ground when cycle touring! 😁
Good choice my friend. really good choice. I have 3 different chairs now, one for each family member, and I still choose the ground chair every time for most comfort.
Man, another masterpiece Tjommi! Great comparison. I might need a pair of those glasses, Jeven style 😁👌🏻😎
Thank you Tjommi 🔥I can't be without my ground chair when out camping, or fishing... only time i leave without it is when i'm out hammock camping, then i dont need it 😎You should update your sunglasses mate, this is the Oakley Holbrook XL
Helinox are great bits of kit, I’ve got the swivel chair, very comfortable 👍🏻
That is the one you can spin around, yes? How is that working out if you dont sit on a flat surface? Cheers 🔥
Thomas Hansen i use it inside the tent if its raining and outside in the evening, never tried it on a slope, but must say it very comfortable and its nice to be able to twist around whilst in the chair prepping food and cooking. It also has a nice laid back feeling whilst sat in it so great for relaxing and easy to get out of.
To use it inside the tent is almost a must, i Always bring with me a tarp to make some space outside to sit if the weather is not to bad and only rain. Yeah, i love the possibility to turn the chair, i will take a closer look at this model. Thank you for the tip 🔥👏🏻
Just subscribed 👍. I have the ground chair too😀. I prefer it and bought it specifically so I could have the ability to sit in a proper chair in my backpacking tent,without my bald head touching the tents ceiling. 👍🙏
Hahaha, the feeling when you need to put your head on the side when sitting inside the tent... not a good option 🤣 I'm really happy with the Helinox brand. Have a nice day mate. Cheers 🔥
@@tshansen Me too,all the best old chap and here's to bonny camping 🏕
Nice comparisation of these chairs, im looking for a chair to go backpacking in the forest, might go for the ground chair aswell...
Thank you Jonas... I have 3 different versions now, and I still prefer the Ground Chair. Will make a updated video about this chairs this winter I think. Cheers
@@tshansen Nice, how is the ground chair to have around the campfire, to eat and stire in pots etc, does it work or is it to much lean back you think ? perhaps the chair one has a advantage ?
@@jonasamna I find it to be the best of the 3. It is a little bit more relaxed, but you can scoop your ass back a little and then it is no problem to sit and stire in pots etc. I choose this for all my trips.
Sounds like glamping, such a comfy chair. Although - the ground chair looks compact and light.
Thanks, Günter from Nürnberg/Germany
Yeah, it is a little bit glamping….. but the ground chair is so amazing to have on all the my trips, i would not live without it. Cheers
@@tshansen Sold out at the moment. So I have to wait a bit before buying. That's okay, since it's winter. Thanks for your recommendation, Günter
@@enduromotorradtouren You are welcome mate. Please let me know what you think about it when you have tried it for a while. Cheers
@@tshansen Thanks, I will let you know. Got my pillow and new sleeping bag today, still waiting for the Exped Synmat to be delivered. Back to camping with a bike, that's been ages. I preferred less lugagge and the comfort of B& B. But for the Pyrenées our group of three will be camping. All my old camping equipment is heavy and large, better suitable for cars. That's why I have to buy new. Cheers, Günter
Keep exploring man 🤙🏽
Thank you, will do mate 🔥Stay safe
I was just going to buy the Chair One but, saw your video and decided to get the ground chair instead! - I did think the ground sheet for the other chair looked kinda annoying! Tak for videoen!
Glad you made the same decision... the ground sheet looks like a smart invention, but I'm not sure how well it works out in the field.
😂I got the ground chair too, love it!
Haha, Yeah, best camping chair I own, I have 3 different sizes now, and we all argue about who is gonna take the ground chair on family trips.
@@tshansen its really very comfortable. Sitting like an indian chief on a throne, but never get a wet ass
Good video, Thomas! Nice to get some good tips for camping gear. We really liked everything about your chair. Except the price tag 😂I put my bum in that chair and did not want to leave 😂
Haha, you sneak try the chair behind my back 🤣🔥Yeah, the pricetag is on the high side, but worth it. I had mine for several years now, and still looks new. Send me your shipping information on messenger. I have a package for you guys 😊
Thomas Hansen I did! Damn, I should not have said. Did my lady lumps not make an impression on the fabric? 😅
@@RidetheBean Haha... when i packed up the chair i swear i heard "it still hurts" 🤣
@@tshansen haha, poor sod 😂
Nice gear! 👋 from Israel.
Hello there, love your nick 🤣👏🏻 Glad you liked it. Stay safe down there mate. 🙏🏻
Ah gotta get me one of those. Question is what I have to drop. One in, one out. The beer glass?
well, the lederhosen stays, the adult toys stays, do you have a thermos you can exchange it with? 🤣
Thomas Hansen nah, I’ll just toss my ktm resque kit. (Tool roll)
@@NomadSweden Hahaha 🤣
My knackered knees would make it impossible to get out of 😂
Haha... i heard from i friend of a friend, you can just tip over to the side and get up on your knees before standing up 🤣
I think I have to invest in a couple of helinox for next summer. The groud chair looks mor comfortable and better for softer ground, but I'm not sure that I can get up from the chair if I sitt to long. Better to have a umbrella or a tarp really close if I have to stay in the chair untill some one can help me up.
Haha, it can be a struggle to get out of but there are ways to do it less elegant. Just roll over on the side before you get up 🤣
😂 Ah that’s about how I get out of the bed in the morning this week.
@@JoonesAdventuresMC Haha, you and me both... just started with my training again after 3 weeks off. Not looking forward to the next trip to the toilet 🤣
@@tshansen ha, that's the technique-ish I told the missus to use getting off the inflatable bed after back surgery (that got her some sleep). ~ Easier for her to get up from all fours odd as that sounds.
Oh just great. (-:
Now I've two Ground chairs and hardtop table on order to the tune of 438.00 to home.
28.00 tax sooked.
~ Thanks T. I went lower Ground job for inside a tent and see out.
After the missuses snot bubble over cost, she said get her one as well.
tips me hat ~
Haha, you are welcome mate. Cheers
I think you can forget about this ground chair if you have had a cuple of beers too many hehe
You forgot to mention the weight limit?? I had a cool Yamaha Camping chair and did not check weight limit on it :-(
It was only 100kg..I am 110kg hehe
Hahaha the Max load is in the beginning of the video 😂🔥 and yes, if you get drunk this chair is way Harder to get in and out of 😂🔥
@@tshansen Aah damn. You are right. Sorry. I guess I was looking at the kids in the living room at the time it came up on the screen hehe.Yeah I don't wanne be using that "chair" when you are having a laught and chilling with the guys and having some beers hehe And a couple of beers too many hehe.
you should start an amazon affiliate account and link to the products you test. When we click on the links you earn some money.
I'm not in this for the money, i do it out of interest and passion for sharing. The products i review is tested and used by me over a long period of time and i don't want people to get the wrong idea about why i do this 😊 I think it is nice to have a channel that are not focusing on those things 👍🏻And everything i earn on this channel i invest in new equipment to up the productions, or have giveaways for you guys 😊
Did you try the Chair Zero?
No, i dont think that was a option when i bought mine some years ago! It looks pretty similar to the chair one? But i have not tested it, Sorry
@@tshansen It would make a nice comparison as it is the lightest chair in the ultra light category with a 9" off the ground position. The Chair one is 2lbs 2oz and the chair zero is 1 lbs 2oz, the ground chair is 1 Lbs 7oz. It also looks like the chair zero has a higher back than both the ground and the one!
I have a similar 790 set up to you and enjoy watching your channel. Keep up the great work!
@@Advdna Hmm... great info. I need to look more into this. Thank you for the tip
Tak
You are welcome 🔥
When u put wood under you feet maybe the one
I think the angle on the chair one is not that comfortable as the ground chair. But this is personal preference
