In Response To: Bean Bag Seats (Nick Pinson)

: I recently read an online article about a Cornish paddler who will be
: attempting a solo, unsupported paddle across the North Atlantic from
: Newfoundland to Ireland. When asked what he'll be sitting on for three
: months straight, he said, "A bean bag". Makes sense to me -- it
: conforms to your bottom yet can give solid support under the thighs, and
: it's bouyant. After all the discussion on here about NBS (TM), I thought
: it worth asking -- has anyone here ever tried using a bean bag?? If so,
: what were the particulars (dimensions, fill type, etc.)? Sounds rather
: attractive, actually -- inexpensive and easy. Besides, carving a block of
: minicell is awful messy.
