My cabelas gobbler lounger chair bit the dust last year and I think its easier to hunt without one even if it is a bit less comfortable. The cushion on my vest was pretty flimsy so I used that as an excuse to get a new vest. Picked up an Elite III from wing supply for like $35 shipped and its got a nice thick seat cushion. I'll see how my old bones do with that for a while before I pick up another chair. Also picked up a new diaphragm last time I went to KTP, just because. I'll probably get some more, wanna try some different ones.
