...and they keep moving the ground further away each year.Nice job. Something to sit on can be important, especially as one ages...

Comfortable but not period....
This comment was taken with a truck-load of salt, knowing your long-standing and vocal dislike of anything PC or HC.But, I'm sure, while at ronny you go out and kill a fat young buff for fresh meat every day just to be pc.
And harder to. I turned 51 in 2008 and that’s when that harder ground became noticeable.... so I blame Obama , but I’ve not noticed it getting softer since Trump came in, so it might have been Palosi all along....and they keep moving the ground further away each year.

re: my cricket chair.not period....
A water-buffalo resembles an Angus steer and a model of the Eiffel tower resembles the actual tower - they still aren't the same thing.re: my cricket chair.
This popped up while I was googling colonial Williamsburg. It is reported by them to be a room in colonial home. Note the chair to the right and it's resemblance to a 'cricket' chair.
Orcs? Something came out of the sky, not the mountains.
None of us can be 100% no matter how hard we try. At some point something will break down. We all draw lines based on some arbitrary personal standards that says ‘this isn’t right but I can live with it.This comment was taken with a truck-load of salt, knowing your long-standing and vocal dislike of anything PC or HC.
Don't need to - I have fresh venison instead. No wild bison where we are....
But even at Rendezvous, I make the effort to be PC/HC - which far exceeds the effort put forth by 99.9% of the rest there. Another reason why I camp with like-minded friends away from the the chrome-tan-clad, furry-animal-hat circus.
It isn't a matter of whether a certain thing existed, rather a question of whether it existed in a specific place, at a specific time for a specific person or persons. Existence alone is insufficient to make a case for its use. If not, it would be OK to use medieval armor or an Egyptian chariot at an F&I event based solely on the basis of existence....The slide apart folding chair goes back centuries,
The back "leg" is a tongue that slides through a slot in the front legs/back support.
A room in a colonial-age house doesn't imply they decorated the room with colonial-age furniture....re: my cricket chair.

Egyptian chariots weren't in constant use. We know why armor mostly died away (arquebuses, wheel locks, flint locks). With the chairs, I think it more likely that there aren't existing samples of cheap furniture than the knowledge was lost for a hundred and fifty years. Especially since there's evidence they were used in Africa at the time, and, well, you know.It isn't a matter of whether a certain thing existed, rather a question of whether it existed in a specific place, at a specific time for a specific person or persons.

Yes - but we have multiple and numerous examples of the types of chairs used in the colonies. Too many want these 2-piece chairs to be period when ladder-back chairs were used and available - I hardly ever/never see someone bring a ladder-back chair even though the excuse is "I need something with a back".Egyptian chariots weren't in constant use.
