70 lbs off a 240 lb hog is wild, Dale probably got a good laugh watching me weigh those sides twice thinking the scale was broke. I once told a customer our dry aged pork chop was "mostly meat" right before I realized half the trim weight went in the bin, so yeah, I felt pretty dumb. We started adding the shrink into our price after that, maybe 8% bump, and nobody at the counter blinked. The flavor really does sell it, but eating 70 lbs of loss out of pocket is a fast way to close up shop. Better to charge fair for what actually hits the case.

Heat gun plus PB is right. Patience beats a snapped seat tube.

I did the same thing, talked trash about those chairs for years and then slept on rocks in Utah and changed my tune real fast. What worked for me was hitting a gear shop and actually sitting in a few before buying, because the seat height and back angle matter way more than the weight on the label. I ended up with a chair that has a real frame instead of the tippy tripod kind, and my back thanked me the whole next trip. My advice is to skip the ultralight ones if you mainly car camp, the few extra pounds are nothing compared to waking up without a knot in your spine. Set it up in the store, lean back hard, and see if it wobbles. Six years of being wrong was enough for me, one bad night is plenty for you too.
