Ground hunting cushion
« on: September 22, 2024, 02:58:01 PM »
I hunt off the ground and am looking for a more comfortable cushion. My setup now is I have a closed cell foam pad from Lowe’s that I strap to my pack. When I get to my spot I just sit on my pack. That gets me up a bit off the ground and works out real nice for me. Now I’m just wanting a nicer cushion to sit on. Anyone have any recommendations for a really nice cushion? Would make long cold sits that much more comfortable. Thank you.

Are you familiar with a Dean Torges Tree Seat?  I've used one of these (with a foam pad) for decades.  Made out of 1/2" plywood you attach it to a tree and can sit with your feet on the ground.  Set high enough you can stand quickly without needing to rock forward.

A "T" seat for duck hunting works great, and you can easily make one if needed.

I went ahead and purchased the hunt comfort ts cushion. I’ve tried the torges tree seat and just couldn’t get it to work for me. Probably my construction of it. I really like the idea. I may try again and if successful I can use the new vision on it.

I made two changes to mine.  I lined the "V" cut with split reenforced rubber steam hose and attached it with sheet roofing screws.  The hex-heads stick out and grip the bark.  And, instead of the banjo shaped hole I drilled three 1-/2 holes in a row.  I thread the rope (from the outside edge) down through #1, up through #2 and down again in #3.  Then I tuck the loose end under the loop formed by #1 and #3.  Infinate adjustability for tree diameter.
