Any recommendations for a decent camping chair that fits on a motorbike without being too big or too wide

I have panniers and have a stool that fits in but would rather a chair and try not to bungee too much down

Thank you

We have the common old fold down camping chairs but with no arms, they pack down a lot smaller. We also bought some really small ones from Aldi, they seem very flimsy but still in one piece. These ones click together and then put the seat over the poles. Can imagine if someone is of big build the Aldi ones will not work for them.

I've always wondered what tents people take with them.

We use Tresspass lightweight camping chairs. They break down into a zip bag about 18 inches.

Some people are obsessed with weight so small tents for them. We are obsessed with comfort so large tents for people like us. Everyone is different

Our tent you can stand up in it, 4 man air tent but large enough to entertain, not that we ever have as it practically impossible to meet folk from here. We have tried but most just seem to waste people's time, you never know one day some nice folk might just pop up we can build a rapport with
