The bigger the chair, the bigger the comfort - but you are more restricted in the place, as you don't want to move that big chair so far. And the most accessible places are usually the loudest (but in Sweden you probably have more space).

I do maybe 50% of programming outside and I can use any place, but the best places require a bit more walking (or climbing). So I have some hidden spots around where I live and no one bothers me there, so the best condition for me to get into the zone.

And sometimes I bring a small chair with me (that fits in a backpack), but usuall not and I rather learned to sit comfortable with my legs crossed.

Called Schneidersitz in german (literal: tailors seat, but that does not seem to be a english word)

It is also a yoga position and good for your back muscles.

So I don't need a chair and can sit and work anywhere.

(And since I was quite nomadic and outdoor, I did sit in lots of remote, but awesome locations - solar powered).

But I am using this position since a kid, so if you are not used to it, you might never find it comfortable and this surely would not help with any work getting done. But for me it is way better for my back, than a standard camping chair.
