Did anyone find a good way to pad the straps, or replace with good padded straps? I wonder if CGM could sew up some thick pads that Velcro/snap on??? Hmmmmm
Looks nice.Did some tinkering with the pac seat after putting a few hunts on it.
1.) The Handi Pak and the Sherman Pocket work great.
2.) wasn’t crazy about the stock straps
Swapped out the stock straps for some LWCG straps and it’s a night/day difference.
I was able to use the same pins/locations as the originals. This moves the seat a couple inches higher, which was just about right for me.

Looks nice.
How did you attach the waist belt?
I cannot find them on Amazon anymore? I noticed someone said he doesn’t have a long wait time anymore. Anyone order one lately and have a shipping time? Thanks
Love how that thing looks right at home there in the middle of the Ritz Carlton. So regal.

I fractured my tailbone about 20 years ago and I had the same problem with the regular seat. I ended up selling that and buying the turkey seat to try out because I really wanted to make it work. I don't know if the geometry is any different or what, but the turkey seat does not bother my tailbone at all. Maybe you could borrow the turkey seat from someone to give it a shot?I have sat with mine about 3 times. I have a seat pad, but it seems like I’m getting a lot of pressure on my lower back. Right at my tail bone. I probably need to sit more up right. Does anyone know what I’m talking about? Advice?
Per the instructions, you can adjust the seat configuration by tightening or loosening the tension on the seat cord. Maybe that would help you.I fractured my tailbone about 20 years ago and I had the same problem with the regular seat.

Correct!!! We have gone from manufacturing 6 per month to roughly 30 per week. The seat costs we gave brought down to $225.00 and the shipping costs we are still fighting with UPS on. However, I do have a $20 coupon code to save with.Man, this thread is a bitter reminder how bad I want one of these. Unfortunately, no budget for a $300+ chair this year.
Off topic/on topic ... didn't someone mention on this forum that David is reinvesting in his manufacturing process to crank out more volume?
I'm thinking of cutting of about 3-4" of my seat, making it closer to the ground like the turkey chair. Shot a deer last nite sitting out in an open field. Would be nice to be a little shorter maybe. You need the Waldrop Wide Version to carry three pigs.Not much to mine.

But it works. On a good hunt I usually walk out with deboned meat in the backpack and layers strapped to the bottom lashing. Compass, bug spray, and water bottle stay accessible in side pockets. Knife and TP and other trinkets stay in top accessory pocket. Pack material is fleece layered over neoprene, so it's super quiet which works well with the ground hunting close to the deer concept.
What I really want is better backpack and waist straps on the seat. Gets a little uncomfortable for my delicate self packing out meat on it, but I've done it several times the past 2 years. Biggest pack out was a whole, 100lb hog ratchet-strapped to the chair while I drug a smaller hog in each hand about a quarter mile back to the truck. Not something I wanna repeat.
Can you show how you attached the shoulder straps? I’m contemplating putting grommets into a set and attaching them that way.I ended up using the same pins and location from the original waist belt. I used a couple washers to keep the pin from pulling through with a heavy load on it. I backed it up with some zip ties as well. I loaded it up and couldn’t see any sign of it trying to pull through. It raises the seat a couple inches and puts the top about an inch above my shoulders, so it’s low enough that it doesn’t catch on anything (sits where my hang on does) but high enough that you’ve got a little more room to prevent hitting the tennis balls with your heel. You can tighten the waist belt and leave the shoulder straps fairly loose and it’s hardly noticeable. Here are a few more pics of it. I’m pretty satisfied with the set up.
