I have a hard time sitting long on the pad of my vest. need something to sit on when I run and gun. I tried a small chair I use when nbackpackig but the legs sink in th soft dirt. Anyone have the perfect chair
It's not the lightest... but very stable and very comfortable. I find it well worth the carry. You can sit comfortably for hours.
Browning Camping 8525014 Strutter Folding Chair (Regular) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007PIRAYE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_zLz7AbDX2692R
I got the cabelas turkey chair. But i only use it when im gonna be camping out for a long time. If im on the move i will just use the vest pad.
Hunt Comfort "Fatboy" cushion. Fantastic product and worth the $75. I've used one for years now.
I pack around a gobbler lounger. It's the best thing I've found for a bad back like mine.

Are use a turkey chair made by hunt Shield Canadian Tire store very nice comfortable low sitting chair.
I gut the filling out of one of the hot seat cushions and replace with an inner tube. Cut a hole in the rollover flap for a carabiner and attach to the vest. Conforms to any contours, light, perfect for long sits or run and gun. Just can't sit in a thorn patch.
I have been using a browning strutter chair. It probably isn't for carrying in mountains but for farm country it's sweet once you get to your spot
Pad, 90% of the time. I get into the blind only when it is pouring down, then - Alite Mayfly
I thought this was another thread about Paul Platz pots.

Sounds like Paul plate needs to quit his day job and hire some helpers

The Hunter's Specialties Bunsaver has been good to me. You can carry it in your back vest pocket or it does have a waist strap that you can tighten. Fatboy by Hunt Comfort is awesome as well, but is a little heavier than the bunsaver. It depends on how far you are running and gunning, and what you feel like carrying.
browning, very comfy
Seat on my Alps grand slam
I use one of these in the blind. Also works well for fishing and camping.
i also use the Browning chair and i love it!
I I use anything its the seat on my super elite 3. Bout half the time I don't use that and just use the built in seat the Lord gave me.
I have a hard time spending 70 on a pad. Plus I like the back support of a chair

I carry it in the mountains - its not bad. Strap is long enough to sling it over head & arm for a cross carry.
I'll also add that I have found my patience has been extended with a comfortable seat. The waiting game when I know I'm in the "spot" is easier - and has lead to more than one mid to late morning success.
Another HUGE advantage I have found - you don't need a tree for a backrest. Trim out a hole in a bush or brush pile, and you're good to go! This is something I honestly never considered, but it sure gives you versatility when picking out spot to set up.
I usually just use the pad on mt tater2 vest but yesterday because I wanted to try a spot that didnt have a decent tree to lean back on I decided to use the kickstand feature that it has ( I had taken off the frame when I got it 3 years ago) . I also brought along a pad that came off one of my summit lock on stands and use it to double my comfort.
It was the most comfortable i have been sitting on the ground ever.
I bought a vest that was made by a local company. Called Racoe in Celina, Tn. I've had it for about 10 years, its got a good cushion on it. When I saw this thread title, I almost laughed.
I use the Hunt Comfort Scout.
It's heavy but when hunting mountain birds, it's worth it. The HillJacked chair.
It holds on the side of a steep mountain and is adjustable for pretty steep slopes.

lawn tractor tire tube
Gobbler lounger with a quake claw strap added.... because the original carry strap sucks.

I have always like the Bucklick Creek and BassPro stadium type seats. But my old behind has lost most of my natural padding and they don't suit me well for longer sits. I'm liking what I see about the Alpz Impact vest with the same type seat but wonder has anyone ever tried one with a bunsaver or thinner pad?
I wonder if it would make the back of the seat too low on the upper back?
Wallyworld TURKEYTHUG chair for last 2 years. Little cumbersome to carry but can sit in it for hours and like STEELERFAN said don't need a tree to lean against. Nice when I sit with one of my kids or with someone you want to sit close to. Let them have the tree and can just buddy next to them so can whisper important info. Is hard to turn or spin if needed but can ease out of it if needed to in a pinch. Do also have one of those old short aluminum short legged turkey chairs with no back, you need a cushion on it but does give you a rootless level base to sit on.
I really like the gobbler chair I got from Wally World. Great for long sits...not so much for running and gunning IMO
Regardless of the type of ground lounger you use, be sure to put down something (plastic bag) to keep the moisture from getting your butt wet where it touches the ground. Don't ask me how I know!

This is exactly what I do. That chair is amazingly comfortable.
