Ban cheap camping chairs!

[wardy1]

Over the last. Few months I've noticed a growing trend.

Cheap camping chairs left. Or burned at. Campsites.

It seems that. Along with the rest of the garbage left by these inconsiderate arseholes, they just can't be bothered packing up these $6 chairs to take home.

I was up be tween Kevington and Gaffneys Creek early this week and the fire pit was just full of chair legs.

Ban them😡😡😡😡:angrylock:

I have a $10 camping chair. Its crap, and is barely holding together but it still works so havent bought another.

I also scored a free 2 man tent from a music festival once. Everyone just left their stuff there. My brother got a 4 man tent and a camp chair too!

Anyways, don't ban the chairs - just the arseholes who dump them.

Cheers

I agree. Ban the chairs. They're rubbish.

Perhaps you should only be able to take plastic stacker chairs.They will either get thrown on the fire or taken away.

Still going, you can camp out the back, meals are not bad, had a good atmosphere last time I went there for lunch.

Spotted several abandoned chairs on our recent trip to Twilight Cove and the Baxter Cliffs. One was right at the end of Twilight in what would be a decent pool after rain, right under the cliffs.
Two others at Point Malcolm.
Apart from chairs we lost count of fishing net buoys and plastic drums along the beach from the Eyre Observatory to Esperance.
The there's the idiots who see old 44 drums (Wylie's camp) who immediately use them as a handy place to dump their rubbish. Do they really think the bin men are going to appear and clear it for them?
The worst bit of dumping for me was the computer chassis thrown over the cliffs at West Cape Howe........the "tosser" that did that must be regarded as more than a bit retarded. :mad:

I can remember some years ago , the wife brought me one of the fold up chairs back from a trip to Adelaide . This was the first time I had ever seen one . It was made in China , but was so much heaver , and much better quality than the ones that are made today . The ones that people now buy are not fit for purpose , there just not strong enough . I have also seen them left in fire places , burned out . Even if they fail , which they do , there is no excuse to burn them and leave them in the bush !!..:mad: Jim

Unfortunately the importers realised there was money to be made from marketing the heavier build to the more padded of society and jacked the price (realised this when father in law destroyed one of our chairs, not a $5 cheapie either). So downgraded quality for the rest, and buy right buy once appears to be a lesson the masses seem to have missed.

Just before Christmas stayed at Borumba deer park in QLD , just after the Jungle Love festival. Was amazed, and saddened, at how many people just walk away from tents etc. rather than use them again.

Seems that society has been coerced into a one use only mindset. Even if you do buy something that should last , when parts or repairs are needed , they just aren't available. As an example I have a decent 160 gb Ipod . Needs the power source fixed but no one will touch it . Answer is a cheaper build , much smaller capacity memory and triple the price. Not likely :mad:

Agreed regarding the "cheap" mentality ... because the chairs, tents, tarps, etc are so cheap, the mentality is one of "we need a couple of chairs for this weekend" ... so chairs are purchased JUST for the weekend. Treated as disposable because they are so cheap. They don't last, and the buyer isnt looking for a long term solution, just a quick fix for This Weekend ... really sad :(

When you can buy 6x cheap chairs for $30 for the weekend, vs say $60 for 1x quailty chair, you can see the incentive ... "heck we wont need chairs again for who know how long ... FFS dont buy 6x $60 chairs ... just get the cheap ones darling!"

We should BAN the importation and sale of cheap ****!!
