It's getting colder and the wind howling around your backside in a saddle can bring some cold, miserable hunts so I decided to resurrect this thread.
I enjoy hunting from the ground and do so on most of my hunts. The saddle is fine hanging low with feet on the ground but there are definitely more useful, packable and comfortable options.
The Waldrop Pac Seat is comfortable and useful but can break the bank. A bucket is useful but uncomfortable. There are a myriad of hunting blind chairs that are useful too but clunky to carry.
Hammock chairs have been discussed on here in the past but I've never used one until the past couple of hunts. They are incredibly comfortable!! They pack down to about the size of an aerosol spray can and only weigh a couple pounds. I bought a cheapo off Amazon for around $36 and changed out the plastic buckle in the back with a more durable option. I liked the Amazon one so much I ended up buying one from Fanatic Outdoors called "Low Down Hunting Seat." I haven't received it yet but it looks more durable and functional than the Amazon option and I have nothing bad to say about the Amazon one besides the cheap buckle attachment.
I have zero affiliation with these companies and chairs, I just like to share with others when things work. The hammock chairs might give ya a couple other options when you want to pack deep, go light and be ultra comfortable.
The Waldrop is probably the most versatile but I'd say the hammock chair is the most comfortable for me when a tree or fence post is available to attach it to.
