My Wadrop PacSeat

[Roger Norris]

These should be my final modifications....Ghillie suit fits inside with room to spare. External pouches for al of the other stuff. Tennis balls to keep me from sinking in soft dirt. Eberelstock pack comes off in about 30 seconds if I want it to.

I may add a cushion, but not happy with what I have laying around.

Looks like a sweet set-up, Roger. I just ordered one yesterday so I'm glad I popped over and saw this post. Looking forward to playing around with it. Tired of buying seats and being disappointed. Had more action on the ground this season than from the trees, even with the butt-numbing stuff I have.

That my friend is absolutely genius! I've got the bird bag on mine. your setup is far superior love it!

Camo boat throw cushion might fit in thier for your seat.

I added a thin cushion about 1 inch thick, to me something thicker was less comfortable. I have it tied on and it just folds up in the seat. The best mod I made was to remove the strap that adjust the amount of lean and replaced it with a rope chain I made from parachord, quick and quiet to adjust. I posted some pics on another thread about Packseat mods.
 I just got mine this year , one of my favorite pieces of gear.

My Dad and I love our Waldrop Pac-Seats.  David is such a nice guy and a joy to speak with...he truly has a niche with a nice Made in the U.S.A. practical hunting seat.

The one modification we did was spray painting the tennis balls with flat OD Green spray paint.  We also added padded Thermaseats, which have a nice velcro strap that secures around the top bar of the seat when hiking into our hunting locations.

Love my pak seat been using it for years.  Only issue is it has developed a creaking noise.  May be from the seat material rubbing on the aluminum as you shift your weight - anyone combated that issue w success?

Spray the creaking spots with cooking oil, like Pam.

Thanks Roger - may try a small area, afraid it will make for a greasy seat…unless I put a little non porus material over it

Tim, my seat squeaked occasionally after the first season.  I determined it was coming from where the straps rubbed on the frame.  I wet a rag with unscented silicone boot spray and put a light coating on all the areas that contacted the straps.  It’s been quiet all season, so it’s something I plan to keep up with.

If you don't want to get oily, which I'm not sure pam will be that oily, use graphite powder

[TIM B]

Thanks boys, I’ll give them both a try.  My seat is old and has been used a lot, I kinda figured all that pressure and time on the seat mesh meeting the aluminum was to blame.

Tim B try carrying a stick of welders soap stone in your pack. I have found it to be convenient to carry and use for the last thirty or so years. When a piece of equipment develops a squeak rub the soap stone on a small piece of sand paper or a rock or dry stick. You will have instant talcum powder some excellent dry lube. The rectangular sticks of soap stone work better than the round ones. Good hunting.

Nice setup, Roger. I have really enjoyed my Pacseat. Just told my wife last night it’s the best piece of hunting equipment I’ve purchased in a while. Picked up a turkey seat version for my son and need to customize his some.

I know seat cushions are a personal preference thing. But I find the seat mostly comfortable, and just want a little extra cushion. What I have found to be perfect and easy to pack in is a Therm-a-Rest Z Seat or one of the cheaper knock-offs. Super light, keeps your butt warm, and adds just a bit of comfort. But again, seat cushions are one of those things that each person will have a different opinion on. Just thought I’d share what has worked well for me.

Rodger,
Great pictures. Is that the original design from Dave? I have one and love the seat. I’m trying to finger out what good options I have to attach my bison gear to it.

[frassettor]

This is the pack I’m trying to figure out the best way to attach it

[TIM B]

I attached my pack also.  I stitched some old army pack clips to the back strap on the seat.  The pack clips on or off easily.

I'll have to try some of these mod's.

Researching the pack seat I see the biggest complaint was the seat, being only 14” wider can see why. I like the idea, it looks like it would be great but a 14” sling seat doesn’t sound comfortable. If the seat was wider I would buy one.
