That’s what I hunted off of last year. It’s extremely quiet and comfortable. I added a foam thermal piece to mine when it cooled off last year. They will hold a big boy too. My buddy used mine once and then bought him one. You could probably flip it around and use it as a pack frame with a little bit of redneck ingenuity.

That looks interesting. I'm gonna give it a go this fall using a handgun and that setup looks like I could use my shooting stix with ease.

another idea - A hammock sling type seat is very light, no noise, and can pivot ez. Here's a site to see some pics and design, but I think you find on amazon for less

I've tried a few different types and had one recommended by a Buddy who hunts a lot in northern Wisconsin. I bought one, the Millennium M300, and have been VERY satisfied with it's portability and comfort. I found no issues at all sitting for 3, 4,or 5 hrs at a shot.
Weight is listed at 4 pounds.

That brings up another good point, I can wrap myself in the sling seat in cold winds and it keeps me cozy. Btw I hadn’t noticed any noise in the cold but probably cause my teeth chatter too loud.

It makes noise when I am installing it in 25 degrees to 0 degrees in Missouri.I will stay in the truck below that.

I've killed truck loads of mountain bears and bucks from my Millennium.

I have a hammock style sling similar to this. My only complaint is that it puts pressure on the inner thighs after a while. Need to stand to get the blood flowing again.

Cross threading is better than two lock washers.
I'm currently looking for a good ground set up. Good info in here, thanks guys!

I’m amazed the Bushman Hammock chair from Arrowhead Equipment hasn’t caught on. I have used one for three years and it is way more comfortable than my Millenium or Dead Ringer. It weighs less than 1lb and as long as you have two trees you are good to go.

I've gotta a pretty handy DIY one if anybody is interested.
I'm interested for sure!

To the OP, that seat you posted looks fine, but my daughter and I have used the Dead Ringer Hammock Seat for the past 2-3 yr. They weigh a pound, and fit compactly in a sleeve that I can clip on my belt or very easily slide in my backpack. She and I have killed all sorts of things in ours from bears, hogs, gobblers, big bucks, to Cheetos, donuts, slim Jim’s and lots of time. They’re pretty comfy also and about $30~ on Amazon.

We didn’t hunt them, just killed them. ?
