Title: Butt cushion
Post by: Gooserbat on May 02, 2023, 10:55:32 PM
I'm finding myself wearing a vest less and less and using a chest harness.  The only drawback is in the posterior.  Looking for suggestions for a butt cushion and for what it's worth I already have a turkey chair.  I only want a cushion for running and gunning.

Therm-a-seat multilayer models are good and don't pull on your belt too much.

Hunt comfort fat boy and a Glenda Green covered inner tube are the best two options I've found. I prefer the inner tube.

A second vote for a Ms Glenda inner tube seat or Fat Boy cushion.

Only tried the Fatboy Comfort Cushion and the Beard Buster Jumbo. Both were very good. Fatboy was a little more comfortable but also a little more pricey.. But I would use the Beard Buster again no question asked either. Depends on what you want to spend.

I just use one of those half circle air pads.  Not sure who makes it but I can send you a pic if you want. It has an integral waist strap.  Simple.   I have used the same one on 10 day canoe trips but for a one hour sit they are all I need.

How are you guys stowing the cushion? I to primarily use a vest for the cushion but have not determined a great way to maneuver or run n gun with a cushion that is not attached. I don't like the idea of walking miles with a cushion in my hand and prefer not to look like a turtle if I were to install shoulder straps.

The Huntcomfort Fatboy is excellent, but does weight almost 3#.   The covered air cushion by Greene is light and just as comfortable.  For longer sits, I do prefer the Fatboy.

Is everyone clipping the Glenda Green seat to a belt loop with a carabiner clip? Like mentioned below, I've considered this, but don't want to carry it around in my hand.

I clip it to her satchel. I have carried it a couple of times without the satchel and I clipped it to a belt loop. Works well.

I just clip it to my satchel or belt... you can also make your own carry strap or whatever ...

The nemo chipper is a good option. Only 8oz & folds up pretty compact.
You can spray paint it if the colors bother you, but then again you're sitting
on it. So, it doesn't really matter.

Glenda Green inner tube seat. Carabiner attached to the handle. No problems.

I purchased a Hunter's Specialty seat for my daughter... 

I rigged a shoulder strap that she could carry it with easily.

As a note, she liked the seat I bought better than the one on my Tat'r vest (I rarely use a seat).  She said is was "less slippery."

Only one I use is Glenda Green Tube. She made mine with an adjustable elastic strap so I can keep it around my waist . weighs almost nothing.

I been carrying one of those cheap muddy seat pads they sell as tree stand seats when I plan on running and gunning. Seems to work ok.

I've got a inner tube covered in camo in material.
I leave it in my vest pouch for a back cushion unless the ground is really wet or cold .
I hate a vest cushion bouncing around on my back .

I use an inner tube too, but I took out the valve stem and I just keep a couple of valve caps with me so I can let out the air so it is not so heavy to tote.

Another vote for a Glenda Green cushion.

The fat boy has a strap that you can clip around your waist. I carry mine all the time like that turkey and deer hunting. I also have one of Glenda Greens that I carry sometimes but the fat boy gets the nod most of the time because I definitely qualify.

For those using Glenda's inner tube how is it for big guys and for keeping pressure off the tailbone area? Thanks.

I use a Glenda Green Cushion and had her sew an adjustable shoulder strap on it so I carry it just like I carry her satchel on the opposite side. Works great for me.

For really light, look at a Klymit v cushion inflatable cushion.  For the money, worth a try.  I've used mine a lot on bleachers at ball games but haven't tried it the woods because I'm a lounger guy.  But I bet it would work for a run and gunner.

My personal favorite is Glenda Green's wheelbarrow tube cushion.  The cushion supplied with the Mr. Fox vest is fine, and the vest itself is great, but the latching set up is a little awkward (at least for me).   This is Glenda's cushion and the Fox vest retrofitted with some stout magnets.  The problem with turkey hunting is that a guy spends too much time sitting under trees thinking about this stuff.

This year I tried a lil allen flyfishing chest pack worked great. Then I bought a hs strut bunsaver seat. Straps around  waist don't know it's there super light pretty comfortable for run n gunning.
