Comfort tip

[Ranman]

If I know I will be sitting for a while, I dig a shallow bowl the size of my butt at the base of my tree. Then I put my seat cushion on top and sit. This helps prevent you from sliding away from the tree. It is also more comfortable and allows me to sit longer.

Great idea, but it would require me to carry an additional item, a spade to dig out a depression for the cushion.

About everywhere I hunt seems like I'm sitting on a sidehill. I'll find a dead branch about 4-6 inches in diameter and a few feet long, and use it as a wedge in front of my seat cushion. Another way to keep from sliding away from the base of the tree.

COMFORT TIP---Turkey chair!  Saves your rear end on roots and keeps it from getting wet, more comfortable then a tree up your back and it sleeps better when you need a little siesta.  Being comfortable while turkey hunting is a MUST since it keeps you from moving around and keeps you in the woods LONGER.

The fellas who recommended the aluminum version of the Alps chair sold for camping were on it. My .410 and that chair combined weigh less than my old 3.5" 12ga alone. Comfort!

This is exactly what I do...very little of my turkey territory is flat. The steeper the hill, the larger the branch has to be in diameter, but with a decent seat, its comfy for a long time....

I'll prob regret this when someone patents and licenses it. But this is how I set up my seat pad. It's unlimited leveling capabilities.

Just glue this to your seat cushion where the rounded part faces the ground when you sit. You can roll however needed to get right!

Is the only color they have orange and black of the aluminum ? I looked at these last year but got the heavier one in tan

I just use my boot or a stick, doesn't have to be deep. Just enough to make a small bowl, and leave the dirt so it is under the front of your seat. I sometimes add a stick to make it a little higher.

That is all I found. Sprayed it black. Three gobblers and a pile of hens have seen it, with a 10 year old girl sitting in it, and did not notice.

Alps sells the heavier version in camo. Good chair but the aluminum is nicer to carry and cooler to sit in.

I use an old Buckwing Turkey Seat.  Aluminum and camo webbing. It's solid frame, lightweight and does not fold. The front legs are longer than the back and you sit back against the tree. It is very comfortable.  I tried the folding model seats in the past and they would never last, not sturdy enough. Sometimes I use a cushion on it. Nice being up off the ground too.

I attached an old cushion to the existing cushion on my vest. Works pretty good for me. I cant use any of the turkey chairs. I cant stand not being able to shift if a turkey circles me.

I tried the stick trick and have to admit it worked pretty darn good. I'll be using that trick when ever the sticks are available.

You remember what kind of paint you used? I tried to paint a chair one time awhile back with rust-o-elum and it wouldn't stick on painted aluminum
