Now we’re talking! I hate how limited my current CamelBack is for carrying water (2 litres?) when taking it up into the mountains while mountain biking. The chairs definitely a spectacular touch too! I didn’t see the total weight mentioned here though? Anyone? The chair honestly doesn’t seem that stable.. and appears very low to the ground – I don’t like that given my height! I do, however, like that it packs away and gives the appearance of a “regular backpack” – as much as a cool device like this could I guess. I read the description, so my question is: does the extra chair cover have the potential to hold water as well? Because it says, it can hold 4 liters of weight which sounds like volume measurements to me. Do we know where the leg parts will be manufactured for the Chameleon Backpack? It’s a really nice and impressive product, but with it being presumably a new brand “breaking into the market,” I’m leery about spending $150+ on it. We’ll see if the Kickstarter Campaign really “kicks off” or not!

The Moab area actually has multiple sites with petroglyphs. One of the sites is called the “Birthing Scene.” It could potentially be the oldest illustration of a human birth in North America.

It’s got something for everyone. In Moab, you’ll see mountain bikers, off-road vehicles, road bikers, hikers, campers, and even UFO watchers. Moab is one of the few places where mountain bikers and off-road Jeeps can, usually, actually get a long and respect each other on the trails.

Just outside of Moab they have the petroglyphs you can see. It was one of the most amazing things I have seen. To think that I am looking at the artwork that was laid down by people hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

I go to Moab at least twice every year. It is such a magical place.

A portable chair built into a backpack that can support us bigger guys. So many of these chair packs on the market, yet most of them are built cheaply to only withstand a minimal amount of weight.

You can use the Chameleon backpack chair for everything outdoors from fishing to the City park. With the integrated chair and laptop bag, you could wander down to the grassy knoll on your lunch break and get caught up on some more work while still enjoying some time outside.

How thick or heavy is the canvas? I didn’t see this mentioned on the Kickstarter page. I hope they are using a quality ripstop canvas and not the cheaper canvas.
