Scout chairs...
« on: September 06, 2008, 10:43:07 AM »
My cot post reminded me of another question I could use some help on.

We spend alot of our days glassing on our hunt.  I am looking for a compact, lightweight, chair to use while glassing.  After nine days last year, my arse was killing me by the end of the hunt.  I've see the triangular chairs at Cabela's, but they don't seem to be very comfortable to me.

Anyone else been able to find such a chair.

Thanks in advance...

Theres no way I'm gonna pack the weight of a chair but I did cut up an old ridgerest sleeping pad (after my dog ate part of it) just the size of my fat arse and keep it in my pack.

that is the same thing that I have been doing for about the last ten years. :yeah: A small piece (about 10"x12") works great- fold in half to put in daypack. Keeps my but dry if the ground is wet, and insulates when it its cold/snow.

I don't pack a chair either but a kneeling pad makes a decent pad to sit on and doesn't add much weight to your pack. It also works well for kneeling on a hard surface Elk Huntin. Most of the Marts carry them in the Gardening section.

:yeah:  Yep, I do the same...some years ago I created several sitting pads from an old sleeping pad for a week long conoe trip I went on.  I soon found that it was the lightest thing I could take with me hunting. :chuckle:
