Been using a lounger sack but it's torn and it's kind of hard to stuff it back in every move. I want to put a claw sling on and use a strap of some sort to close the chair? How do I attach the sling and what do you keep it closed with? Any other methods used out there?
I don't put mine back in the case.I just carry with the legs strapped. I zip tied a small bungee cord to one of my legs and don't use the Velcro that came with the chair. And I use the sling that cane with my chair.

added an old luggage strap and use a 12" wire plastic coated wrap to hold it and a net blind together.
works.
I use an old compound bow sling. Works good
Mine (I have 2) have a long piece of nylon webbing with a shoulder pad attached with 2 screws to the tubing for carrying it. The chair is kept closed with a piece of Velcro where the legs fold up. The Velcro is also attached with a small screw so you won't lose the Velcro when not in use. Throw it on your back, tighten the webbing and off you go.
I use the bag mine came with,but it's getting worn also and I wish it had a longer strap. My second one only came with a small cheap strap.. I'll try to see if Annette from Usahuntinggear will make any at some point. I think she made some a few years back.
No it's too bulky when I am trying to move.
i use a piece of 3/8 inch rope to carry mine. thick enough that it doesnt cut into my shoulder when carrying the chair.
dont like velcro in the woods so i attached a small bungee to secure the legs together
Mine was always falling off my shoulder with the cheap strap that came with it. Very annoying. I put plastic snap clips on both ends of a claw sling and that works a whole lot better and much more comfortable. My lounger came with metal loops to attach the original sling, so I use those. I think the carry sack is less convenient on the run, but is quieter though, so my wife sewed a claw sling to the carry sack I had from a different lounger, so I can go with either depending on the kind of hunt I'm planning and just carry the sacked one by hand for shorter moves.
Use my backpack top side straps to anchor it on top.
If using a blind, I slide the shoulder straps through chair and use the bottom set of straps to help secure it in.
No chair/blind but using backpack, I secure a camo boat cushion on.
Have never tried integrated vest sitting options.
I use something similar to these. Sits in the center of my back and does not swing or make noise. I have a simple web cam buckle strap to hold the chair folded.

Carry mine in the bed of my truck. If at all...
Not sure why I bought it. Too cumbersome. Maybe one day when I'm hunting out of a makeshift blind and carrying little else I'll use it.
I have my gun on one shoulder and my Ms. Green satchel on the other, I carry my chair under my arm, switch arms when one gets tired, I walk a lot and sit a lot, no problems.
Crimped off a piece of heavy mono on each end attach a gun strap quick and easy to carry

So when I run & gun my setup goes like this.
I have a Badlands hip pack, sits on my left side and I sling it on first, and then seat on left and sits just behind pack (pack holds it in place) and then my DSD decoy(s)on left center of back, and shotgun on right. Learned this way if no time to setup on a bird I can just sit and shoot or just drop everything, all off left side if needed. If there is time on set I can easily set decoy, last on first off, set chair and the pack comes off all in order. Also keeps shotgun free to shoulder. Gets a little tougher when filming but I adapted a shotgun sing to my tripod and can tote that along too. Glad I don't have too far of a walk on the farm(s).
MK M GOBL
3/8 rope tied at top and bottom with 1/2" pipe insulation over it then camo ace bandage wrapped over it. I keep it secured with a 1 ft long cinch strap around the bottom of the legs.
velcro to keep it closed and a gun sling.
A cheap neoprene rifle sling to carry and a small bungee with hooks to keep to it filed. Takes 5 seconds to set her up.

This carrying strap might of interest to some. Comes in different colors and lengths.

i just recently got a "chairpak" https://chairpak.com/
the only camo option is the old military style but it is a backpack that folds out into a chair. so far i like it much better than the vest with the seat
it will hold plenty and i carry my calls in a bag i can pull out and set on ground in front of me, it holds my 2 montana decoys and has side pockets for thermacells, etc.
I took an old Claw sling and zip tied each end to the chair where it wouldn't interfere with opening and closing of the chair. I also ziptied a ball bungee to one of the legs near the bottom. When it's time to get up and go, I fold the chair and bungee it closed. Lemme know if I need to take pictures of my setup and post them.
Mine fits in the game bag on my vest.
Depending on the loadElectric
Golf cart
Polaris
vest
wheeled golf bag carrier
I use a piece of nylon strap off a tie down. Loop one end and tie the other end to the top of chair. Carry's easy and comfortable. To undo just remove the looped end and the chair opens. Reverse the process to close and carry. Cost is next to nothing because I use the same tie downs to hang tree stands and I always cut off the excess.
I bought a bag from someone here a few years ago that's big enough to fit a lounger and a small stake blind. Wish I remembered who made it. The chair bag goes over one shoulder across my back and my gun goes over the opposite shoulder. I use the chair every hunt, the blind, not always.

I replaced the velcro with a longer piece that slips up and over on to it or off of it, quickly and quietly.
I used the same strap that came with the chair, but I moved it up by disconnecting it and zip tying it further up the leg. Lets me get more of the strap around my shoulder.
A friend of mine uses a backpack to carry his dekes in, and just straps his lounger to it.

Put a bow strap on to carry and replaced Velcro with a small dog collar to keep closed when transporting. Much quieter.

I use the strap that came with it. Gun on one shoulder, chair on the other. Very seldom hunt without it.
I thought it would be cumbersome and a PITA but I was wrong and it helps me sit still longer.
This thread is good timing for me, I had a pretty bad back injury earlier this year & I'm not sure if I can sit traditionally against a tree with just the vest pad, I do have one of the cheap low walmart seats but may try a lounge chair this year. I've previously only used a lounge chair when hunting geese in the corn.
I use a strap from a laptop or luggage bag, similar to this one. Snaps to the eyelets for the original cheap strap. I had a chair and never used it because I thought it would be too bulky to tote. I hunted one morning after it poured rain the night before and I finally toted it so my butt and pad wouldn't get soaked. It was so comfortable I have not hunted without it since. I actually removed my vest butt pad which makes it even easier to tote the chair, especially with a good strap. I throw my shotgun on one shoulder and the chair on the other. I can sit comfortable for hours now and mine is just the cheap Turkey Thugs chair from Wally World. I let a buddy sit in it one morning and he went and bought one later that day.

this is pretty much what i do
I've got primos wingman. It has a plastic clamp on a strap to hold the bottom back legs of the seat together when folded up.
To carry it comes with a simple strap with plastic clasps on a d ring at each end of the strap
If you took a strap off of something like a cooler bag or duffel bag it would achieve the same end.
I suppose rigging some kind of conduit clamps would work at keeping the seat together too
Love that chair only complaint is if the back were 4 inches higher it would have better neck support and be easier to nap in
Comes in real handy on setting up in deadfalls. Plus due to health I have a challenge sitting on the ground / pad for any length of time

update on this.... this thing is not meant to sit in for long periods.
I use a small bungee cord to keep it shut and my grandaughter made me a sling out of braided paracord it works great
