    Need suggestions for blind chair

    No experience with PacSeat, but my G100 is the only chair that I can comfortably sit in for hours at a time without my back getting sore (I have a couple bad disks in lower back). I use it hunting, kids sports, camping, out in garage, beach when out boating, etc...

    Issues with hip vent zippers in pants or base layers?

    Looking at upgrading some clothing this year and one thing that I really want is hip/leg vents in pants and possibly base/mid layer (e.g. SG full zip helio bottoms) as well. I'm concerned about the zipper causing pressure point where the bottom strap of the saddle would cross it. The helio...

    Boot Blankets for Saddle?

    Boots you liked/disliked 2023

    Crispi Nevada GTX Uninsulated with alpaca socks year round Central IL. If it gets down to low 20s or less and I will be staying for a while, arctic shield covers might be used. Arctic shield covers get replaced with wiggys mukluks for the nastiest of sits.

    Sladder Climbing System - Awesome Here's my thoughts on it...

    2 panel comfort?

    My two main saddles are the cruiser XC and latitude method 2. Both are top of the line and extremely comfortable, (in my unprofessional opinion) but for my bad lower back the method 2 is more comfortable for extended periods of sits because I can fine-tune the adjustment for where the pressure...

    Whats up with the 'Sladder Climbing system"?

    I have about a dozen hunts in now using sladder. I took it out of the box, put it in my pack and went hunting. No practice, but did watch the videos. I didn't take any other climbing method so I could truly give it a try. Its awesome. It was as easy as the videos show and truly works...

    Whats up with the 'Sladder Climbing system"?

    I am assuming so, but are the extension daisy chains just a standard daisy or is there something else to them? Thinking of ordering this before sale ends tonight, but I already have 1/8" amsteel sitting around and would rather use that than buying more. I'm pretty sure I will need them...

    Hot meal while in the Saddle

    I've used these for all day sits in the cold. This and a 20oz bottle of water is enough to heat up food to (almost) too hot and the left over water is used with the gatorade powder in the pack. Don't use them very often, but if I'm going far in on public all day, it sure is nice to eat hot food.

    The warmest boots

    X2 - walk in wearing whatever boots/shoes/crocs you want. Slide these on after and your feet will be warm. They compress down pretty good for transport.
