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

I received a Waldrop Pacseat recently and I REALLY like the thing. It is super-comfortable and extremely light weight. My overall appreciation for it is a 4 out of 5.

Think I had a misunderstanding about the 'pac' part of the name though. I thought that it could be used as a pack frame to pack out meat from the field in game bags. I was a bit disappointed when I searched and searched the web and couldn't really find anything about it. Saw where @Nutterbuster essentially turned his pacseat around backwards and used the chair portion as a shelf, but that was about it. So, I set out to make it do what I wanted it to do. Results are below. The jersey material adds basically zero weight, allows for expansion, retains the original functionality of the pacseat itself (both in leaning and standalone modes), and still enables you to use a backpack for gear if that's your thing.

Like your idea. Can you run the leg strap like this for big loads?

I packed out a fawn that way last year. Just wedged it in the v, slung my pack across my chest, and walked a mile back to the boat.

I don't have pics, but I also ratchet strapped a 100lb hog to that chair. Had one on my back and one in each hand. Rough few hundred yards but it beat 3 trips. Or so I told myself
 
Forgot I would need a place for my coffee or water bottle on the way in/out (can't walk with it in the pouch because it would be on the small of my back when the seat folds up) so I added a loop of shock cord. Voila! Another win for the jersey mesh... perforation!

I'm diy challenged when it comes to this kinda stuff. Everything I try never works. GOod thing you guys got lots of good ideas and share them!
Bro... nothing fancy to this DIY. Grab some gym shorts material and zip ties and get to work!

Nutterbuster's pillow case idea is even easier!
 
I've been thinking about a small mesh bag (like a laundry bag but purpose built) that would not take up much space but would provide support and shape to a set of clean cheap pillowcases that could be used to put the actual meat in. It would have small loops to bungee it to a stand or a seat and would be easily washed after use. Make it rectangular in shape with the opening at the top and put tie downs around it. It could be very light weight and packable.
 
Had to change the title of this thread a bit since it has turned into a few more things than just my rendition of a meat hauler mod.

Here's another gem... you can raise the carrying height of the seat (on your back) by rolling up the waist belt. Think it sits 4" higher. Hope the pictures below explain better than I can in words. A zip tie on either side keeps it in place nicely.
