DIY Preacher’s Seat

[peteherbst]

Nothing new here, but I hate knee pads. I threw this together in 15 min to give it a try. Need something for all day sits, especially for Wisconsin gun.

Any pointers out there for guys who’ve already thrown one of these together?

Add some padding and have at it! That is the very first “saddle” I used and it is easy on the knees. Add a back band for the final touch.

Really! Just hook up a saddle and sit! straddle the tree!? Which I’m guessing you already have being on this platform??

Right. Just hook in your bridge and you’re safe. Not supposed to be a stand alone setup. Just giving relief to the knees.

I'd come up with a way to attach it to your saddle - maybe some loops that clip to your LB? And maybe a way to adjust the standoff in and out.

I really like that, I'm probably going to make something similar. I can't get comfortable on an ROS but this would probably solve that for me.

I’ve tried the JX3. Twice. Just not for me. Less bulk with a traditional saddle. Sort of amazing to me that JX3 or someone else doesn’t come out with something simple like a preachers seat to just pack along with you for a sitting option.

I'd say he's about 400 dollars away from a JX3.

I made one today for a ground seat and it really works well... Easier than my Pac Seat but hard to pack a deer on.

Be careful with that bridge. You’re one nap from being upside down.

Bosuns chairs are cheap and easy to build. But they solve just a portion of the problems that the hybrid does.

By the time you do all the math, you’ve either justified the hybrid or a soft saddle.

The hybrid isn’t an accident.

You’re going to hate me for this @kyler1945, but the jx3 was just too bulky for me. Just trying to have some of the features of the jx3 that I can throw into a backpack. Certainly a no napping policy in the current version. If only the jx3 came in a slim version…..

JUST KIDDING. But seriously I would probably buy one.
