Drat, Nash Nomad Chair finally failed

Drat, my Nash Nomad Chair has finally failed. I"m gutted, it was a great chair, recommended on the old BFW many many years ago (20-25!) and served me extremely well.
With a bit of thought and hard work I might be able to resurrect it but to be honest it would only be a matter of time until the next failure.
So, I'm in the market for a new chair.
Ideally with mud feet, medium weight (not light or heavy), no arms, able to fold in back legs for steep backs. Any ideas/recommendations would much appreciated.
 
Heart felt condolences at the lose off a companion. Not wishing to gloat mine is still surviving. I hope you find a suitable replacement soon that gives good service. Not sure what to recommend currently.
 
Thinking more, you have now got me worried what went wrong, I’m hoping it was user error .
It was the connection between the leg and the mud foot that failed. Probably user error. I miss aligned the legs and had a comedy collapse at the start of the session and then misplaced my footing crossing a stream and fell on my chair a bit later on. I retraced my steps later on to try to locate the broken part but no luck.
 
I use the Solar Guest Chair. It is medium, strong, fold down legs, mud feet and adjustable feet. A legitimate 40% off at AD, it will last 25 years easy.

 
Probably not much help, but my nomad ‘died’ years ago (15?) and I bought a Chub chair which had a frame exactly the same and transferred the seat and strap - I’m still using it!
