Hi Andrew, thank you for the recommendation.? I injured a disc in my lower back about 40 years ago rotating the tires on my trailblazer.? It's bothered me ever since.? I do yoga but I'm also a runner so I know I have tight hamstrings.? Good idea to do stretching before and after hiking.? It's something I never needed to do when younger but guess I should do it now.? :? )
I use the flexlite air chair from REI. It weighs a pound and costs $100.?
Also I¡¯m not a doctor but low back pain can be caused by a slot of things including tight hamstrings and bad flexibility.? Have you considered adding a yoga routine to your workout and at the end of your trail day? ?
Hi, I was wondering if any of you have found any lightweight options to provide low back support? at camp while backpacking?? Lately, I've found that I really need to sit with my back against a downed log or rock while sitting on the ground at camp.? I've been scouring the internet looking for products.? I don't really want a chair- like option but if it supports the low back and is light it might be an option.? I'd like something like the new Eagle Creek Hex 2.0 but it's over 1.5 lb and as we all know we look for less weight especially as we get older.
Thanks in advance for your ideas.
Kim
