As mentioned in a previous post - just getting back into hunting and first time hunting PNW area. Grew up hunting birds and white tail in Pennsylvania. I came to the realization yesterday morning something to sit on would be good. My butt is not as water tight as a frogs apparently! No matter where I found to sit the ass of my pants just soaked through. For some reason growing up I never had a pad or seat when I was hunting. I think the ground was either frozen or had snow on it. I would just sit where ever in my big orange snowmobile suit.
So I want to buy something pretty portable. I move around a bit or at a minimum hike in a few miles to get to the spot I want to sit. Maybe something that straps to a pack. I either run a Nimrod pack system or an Eberlestock pack. I was thinking just a sleeping mat type pad because I usually end up on the ground or on a stump or log.
What set ups work for you guys? Any particular brand of pad? How do you secure to your gear while moving? I willing to entertain an actual folding type sit as well. I have some little tripod fold up seat but it is as stable as standing on one leg all day.
Thanks for any suggestions.
