A Day with David Waldrop, the Pac Seat , and Hogs

[tippit]

David has a few new items he is thinking of adding to the seat.  I'm not at liberty to divulge what they might be...but if you are a Turkey hunter or Hog hunter you will definitely like these!

I can't tell you how much fun I had talking & hunting with David...a real Southern Gentleman!

Jeff, is this right, or do you mean RAISE the seat by 1 1/2 inches to match the extra length you just added to the front legs?

I am just getting ready to do this, and wondered if I am thinking incorrectly.

Also, I was planning to drill out the two old rivets, and reuse one of the two holes (top one?) as I re-position my bracket.  This will give me just over an inch change rather than the full 1 1/2 like the front legs, but require only one new hole in the frame. Figured that was good from both a strength and accuracy standpoint. Thoughts, anyone?

You know if you guys were short like me you wouldn't have to worry about all these changes.  The seat is the perfect height.     :D

[tippit]

Daryl,
I did say raised in my original explanation...but you better call David first being my hearing is so poor.  PM'd you his phone # incase you don't have it...Jeff

I see this as a perfect 'how to' to add to the forum here if someone get's with David and takes photo's. I've got a new version (based on the pictures Tippit posted) and have used it for the last few years. It's an incredible seat and well worth the money.

[tippit]

Ray,
David doesn't do computer stuff but he will answer phone or text.  That's why I tried to post a few pictures of the difference between his new & older versions of the Pac Seat.  If you order the conversion kit, he'll explain how to do it or if you are mechanically challenged, you can ship the chair to him. Be sure to clear it with him first.

I love ground hunting and this chair looks really interesting. Some of the chairs out there sound comfortable but when I hear how much they weigh I figure I might as well lug in a treestand! I've been doing some poking around and everyone is saying this chair is light but how much does one actually weigh? Thanks!!

[greg fields]

Can someone pm me a number to call to order these seats?  Thanks for the help...   Greg

[MIBIGHNTR]

Ditto

[David Riley]

I need the number also.
Thanks

[tippit]

Well since the moderators haven't shut this down and I've gotten so many PM requests for David's number, I'll list David's number.  If this is inappropriate, then I apologize and understand if this is topic is closed...tippit

Tippit, I don't need the conversion for my seat (newer), I just thought someone who was going through converting theirs could do a nice how-to that would be of interest to Tradgang members and put it in the How-to forum.

I love my seat just the way it is.

[no]

what do those go for by the way. Thanks,  Mike
