I made my rendezvous chair from these plans:

Not perzactly pc to everyone's taste. But just fine for my old back.
I modified the plans slightly to fit my body and support my back. I also reduced the size as much as possible to save weight. A major consideration was given to how high/low to make the back. Wanted support and comfort. Too low would have been uncomfortable, too high waste of wood and unneeded weight. Mine is made from ash and teak. But hickory would be a good choice.

A google search for "George Washington's camp stools" will produce a set of planes that I have used several times.

Not PC/HC for the camp authenticity crowd, but just throw a hide or blanket over it and your set!

These pack easily too! http://www.craftsmanspace.com/free-projects/folding-chair-plan.html

I like a solid topped stool for camp as they fold flat, but give you a hard surface to use as a small table/desk, or to stand on if you need to hang something from a high ridge pole under a dining fly or some such situation. They are heavier though than ones using a cloth or leather seat.

Interesting site. Lot of good plans and ideas there. I think that folding chair would have to be modified a little bit to be comfortable.
