I am looking for plans to make some simple and easily transportable chairs for my campsite, I have looked at the "Bog Chair" but that has no historical examples.

any other ideas

If ya want some really easy and compact - but less comfy, here's a stool:

You can make a table the same way. Good cuz when you pull the legs out it's easy to squash in the car! :)

How come the Lund Chair looks better than the "Dantesca" chair. Anyway different era. I believe they are both nice to look at.
