Directors chair.  Less than 20 at wallyworld. 

I usually grab them used at yard sales for 5. 

Probably got 10 ,  

Different brands. Aluminium  ones are very light easy to strap on back of pack, little bulky but if sitting for hrs in blinds or glassing , well worth the effort!

Only way to go for a big guy.

At camp  best chair ever. Dudes always tryn sit in my chair compared to what else is there or they brought.

Ballsack. Just kidding, but my brothers and I have always wondered the same thing and thought it was pretty silly looking.

I am 61 years old and still prefer a pad on the ground. Key tip...you must have your legs slightly down hill or it will kill your back.

If it’s not a ballsack it’s like one of those chairs with the butt-shaped indents turned sideways...needs a ballsack indent though.

You might check out the Helinox chairs. The are super packable, only weigh a couple of pounds, and are supposed to support up to 320 pounds. I really like mine. I don't usually take it on pack trips and usually opt for the pad. But I have a couple of times, especially if I think I am going to want to sit a little higher. Always end up glad when I actually do take it. I am 6'4" and currently weigh about 200 (maybe a few more thanks to my work from home COVID-19 eating habits.😥

They aren't cheap.

Here are a couple of pictures of mine to give you a better idea of size.

Costco carried the 

Cascade Mountain Tech Ultralight Highback Camping Chair

Item #2000562  https://www.costcoconnection.com/connection/202005/MobilePagedArticle.action?articleId=1582678#articleId1582678

I think I paid $29.99.  They are rated for 250# and very similar to helinox

As far as directors chair, why not go all the way to the full throne. It include a magazine holder.

Do you draw straws to see who has to clean the legs at the end of the trip?  🤢

Don’t hate me...but do your job and burn weight..or standing air squats will work. I use a typical style four post setup. I haven’t fallen yet. Unless you’re fighting your weight to the master heavy weight title just back down...a little. I feel like I pack a pretty heavy setup but also feel it doesn’t effect me much when I weighed 35lbs more. Just saying. Weight loss is more easier and less equal to more weight packed.
