Pacseat mods: Putting the 'pack' in Pacseat, & other things

It worked out pretty good. I took the Lone Wolf Custom Gear shoulder harness and waist belt off my Millennium chair and converted that on to the pac seat, it carries much better and a bit higher. I then changed the rubber cane bottoms with a pair of wide bottoms that are used when using a cane in sand, perfect. I did order the air cushion off Amazon to try out. That’s the only downside, the seat needs a cushion of some kind for long sits, short sits I can get buy without one. I still can’t believe how light this seat is.

My Amazon cushion is coming tomorrow.

I got the air seat from Amazon today but the Hazmore seat seems to be more comfortable. The Hazmore seat is a bit Unique in that it’s not very thick and it’s very light, plus the covering is very soft and quiet. I have used one on my Summit climbers for years, I might have to buy a dedicated cushion for the Pac Seat. I also made a camo bag for the back. On all of my stands and seats I make pack bags so all of the needed items for that stand or seat is all together so I can grab it and go. I trick out all of my stands and seats and the Pac Seat will be no different. By the time the season comes around I should have a few more mods.

I like the feet, are they solid rubber? Heavy?

They are just regular solid rubber, I wouldn’t call them heavy. I have been using the seat in the woods for target practice and those feet work great. With those wide bottoms I don’t have to swing the rear leg bar to the top.

I'll have to look at those. I was thinking a small Cat Quiver like Rancho Safari makes but this is very similar. I like it.

Went back and forth for a while trying to decide between the Safari Tuff Arrowmaster and this Palmer Bow mate. Read all kinds of reviews on each and the lengthy discussions about one vs the other. Kbetts finally swayed me to try the Palmer and I'm glad he did. Thought it was going to weight too much (imagine that :tearsofjoy:). Been pleased since I received it though.

Another way you can go with the seat & a meat shelf-I just couldn't get comfortable walking long distances with the seat right against my back (I have arthritis in my back.) It would find those special tender spots & just dig in!

But I LOVE my Pacseat! So what I did was remove the shoulder straps & waist belt-easy enough, & they can be re-attached if needed. Then I just use the compression straps on my backpack to attach the seat, & I'm off! My pack has a built-in meat shelf (Mystery Ranch guidelite frame)

Here's a photo of my ground hunting rig:

@TradBowGuy what cushion is that?

It's a Hunt Comfort Scout cushion, available at a bunch of places, including Bassela's.

Not cheap, (around $70,) but well worth it in comfort, IMO. Us old guys need to be WICKED COMFY to be still on the ground!

If you get one, you'll notice that one side has a black rubbery coating-that's the side that normally faces down when you sit on it, like it's shown in my photo. However, on the PacSeat, it might make a squeaky noise if you move or rotate on it.

But, if you flip it over & put the camo side down on the PacSeat, you can shift around silently.

I remembered I made a similar quiver to that Palmer a few years ago so I dug it out and put it on the Pacseat this morning and tried it out. It was a DIY project I made out of a cardboard tube. I have been shooting the longbow without the quiver on it and I really like the way I am shooting the bow without the quiver attached and I love the ultra-light weight of just the longbow without the quiver. I want to be able to quickly put the quiver on and off the packseat and be able to carry the quiver just by itself for hog hunting along with a backpack. Robert Carter has been using one of these quivers on his hunts and it looks like a really slick setup.

Bro I love that. Nothing wrong with it at all! Looks like a good add!
