She added an extra swivel snap to the flap of my satchel and I snapped it to the flap of the satchel ... On my first old satchel i made myself a lope to go around my strap and i attached it to that small lop i made on the carry strap of the satchel.

Nothing beats the comfort of a turkey chair.  Unfortunately, it is a pain to lug around when you are on the move.  It can also be noisy at time.

X however many we are now on Glenda Green's seat.  I use a carabiner and clip it to my satchel or a belt loop.

I use an inflatable glassing seat. Super light, comfortable and can be deflated/folded up for longer hikes. I put it in my bino harness accessory pocket when not in use, so it has zero effect on mobility when you need to move quickly. Highly recommend it.

I've been using the V Seat from Klymit, because of how small it can be folded up, and it's only $15. I don't run a turkey vest, just a bino harness/chest rig with my calls and gear inside instead of binoculars.. so the portability is big for me.

In the past, I've also tried one from Therm-a-rest that was comfier, and a cut piece of closed-cell foam sleeping pad, which was not. Both just didn't fold up as nicely, the Therm-a-rest deflated was about the size of a Nalgene. The Klymit one can be folded down to a bit bigger than a bar of soap.

If looking for all-day comfort in one spot, there are better ways to go... but for run-and-gun hunters or guys who are only sitting 1-2 hours in one spot and then moving, it works great.

I made my own with some 5" or 6" thick furniture foam (Size it to your own butt) , it is lightweight, comfy, and quiet. I used some waterproof camo fabric sewn around it with 2 shoulder straps(and 1 breast strap) attached. ....works great for me.

I have a fatboy? I think it's called. About 3" thick and I can sit on it for a long time. I'm pretty old and prefer a lounger now but for run and run I like the fatboy. Has a carry strap

I have the Hunt Comfort "FatBoy" seat/cushion and don't think that you can beat it, they have several different styles to choose from, they are on the pricey side but for me well worth it, I have a few.

The only other thing I would say is looking into a Turkey Hunting Lounger.

This is it. Thick foam but doesn't compress too much so it's comfortable

My daughter suprised me this year and said she wanted to go turkey hunting.  Just ordered another Glenda Green.  Her quality never fails to impress.

Never found a cushion near as comfortable as the low profile chair

TRG3

In my turkey hunting experience, the years have piled up and my run-n-gun days are behind me. In that time, I went from a cushion on the ground to a low turkey chair and finally to a regular lawn chair. Being in my 80s, I now carry a lawn chair via a bungee cord over my shoulder with a decoy sack on my back and a fanny pack with calls, etc. around my waist, all accompanied by a walking stick. A camo net on stakes is also part of the garb. I set up where the gobblers traditional are and wait for them to open up. If there's no gobbles, I typically continue to call periodically and sometimes, especially later in the morning, it's not unusual for a gobbler to answer and, depending on how lonely he is, to eventually come on in. Last year I killed one at noon. Most game can be hunted with a lawn chair and patience, including squirrels, deer, doves, and even rabbits with a pack of beagles. I still enjoy hunting as much as ever by just making the adjustments that life requires of you.
