Comfortable cushion for sitting on the ground?

[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.

This is as true as it gets ..

For over 20 years, I've used a camo boat cushion. 

I usually take a few and spread them around the farm so that I have one when I get near where I'm going to hunt and then leave it back there as I'm walking out.

It gets me sitting up a tad higher off the ground and puts less pressure on my knees.

TRG3, Whatever it takes to keep you hunting is fine.  When you hit 80, accomodations to the old run and gun style are likely to be needed.  Keep at 'em however you can, as long as you can.  Good luck this spring sir!

Glenda Green inter tube seat.

After all the positive reviews on this seat, finally ordered one.

Its a game changer. Could sit all morning on it if I had too and not get fidgety.

I use an old Buckwing turkey seat.  It has solid legs and does not fold. It's the type with the longer front legs and shorter rear legs.  I had a folding HS Strut and it fell apart. If I have time I put my cushion on top before sitting down.  This works for me.

I've used the Hunt Comfort Scout seat for elk hunting for a while, and it has always done really well for me

I tried a Glenda Green inner tube seat for the first time yesterday, and I can attest that it is the most comfortable cushion I have used.

For run and gun hunting I have been using a Beard Buster Glassing Chair and a Thermarest seat pad.  The BB Glassing Chair is smaller than the BB EZ Chair, and rolled up with the Thermarest inside it is slightly larger than a Nalgene bottle.  I carry it in a DSD decoy bag along with the decoy.

The back support and extra padding underneath keep me comfortable and still much longer than being without.

However, I do LOVE my Glenda Greene Minimalist Satchel, and may end up giving her inner tube seat a try!

I am believer...after using for several days this spring...in the inner tube seat made by Ms Glenda Green. That thing has a durable inner tube that does not leak, and it is light to carry and comfortable. I didn't think I'd easily give up my lounger, but this is the answer!

I have this same cusion from Glenda.Best I have seen.

I second the low profile chair. It stinks having to lug it but it's not too bad. The best part is I can sit all day comfortably if I have to and it keeps me from having to shift around. It's definitely worth it.

For running and gunning I put the BB seat and a blow up Klymit cushion in the game bag of my vest and take off.  Weighs a couple of pounds and allows for a pretty comfortable sit for a time.  Even so, I find myself with my gobbler lounger on most hunts.  The older I get, the more I appreciate the comfort.
