Take it and run with it

[Red Beard]

Was looking back through pictures I had taken over the past year and came across an idea I had that subsequently got overcome by... life. You know, the kind of thing that you put down and forget about after you're involved with something else? Anyway, thought I'd share it. Maybe it will spur conversation or a bit of DIY.

Remember, this is the time-frame when I was still waiting on my Pacseat to arrive. I was bent on creating a chair that doubled as a pack frame for hauling deer meat out.

Neat.

Something like that made to double as a climbing platform would be interesting.

My mind actually just imploded.

Very ingenious!

You aren't re-purposing an old Baker stand are you???

Thanks guys. Here is a follow-on version that swivels (sorry I didn't ever take a video of it). Developed the swivel version because once you got into the original, there was no way to quickly disconnect and get out of it if you needed to turn for a shot at a different angle (behind you or something). You were basically stuck facing the direction you set up in.

Been kicking around this type idea for about a yr. I was going a little different direction ultra lite weight ground chair vs chair-pack. Getting to ultra lite & compact has been challenging. First proto that sparked the idea.

Good to see u finally figured out a way to alleviate the painfully hip pinch u were telling me about caused by that saddle u got....I'd be nervous to use that mainly because of the sheer number of danger stickers

I’m trying to get to this weight & profile with 30-45sec quite setup & pack up.

Yep. Packability is make or break for a thing like this. The other ticket is being able to rotate or pivot.

Idea works if you have a fallen tree with right height limbs. I sat in one during gun season. Worked okay. Screwed up and spooked a buck and some does later. I was moving way to much.

Oooh, that could be made outta Carbon! And I like that idea to go with a Ghost blind!
Argh, stop with the ideas....my "want to build" list is way too long already!

Go!

The Bucket backpack right?

Bucket backpack with a soft hammock seat or air-pressure controlled seat would be the end-all.

great concept. I wonder: do those vertical posts interfere with bow movement or the string path?
