I used Ray & Mike's seat allot. See it in the background of the pic. I put two straps on it and carry it like a packframe.

Mike's now comes with pack straps (or at least mind did).  I'll try to get a photo up in a bit.  Check back later.

Brooks from double bull, is a member here, if you look up his info, he may be able to get you one.

I only live about 10 miles from the company, where used to be before Primo bought them out.  But whenever you call the phone numbers I have you get Primo's.

I'm sure glad I got my " Dark Horse " when I did.  I am definitely a ground hunter, I have hunted this past year and tree stands, but I just don't care for it.  I been done on the ground since I was a kid.  I find what works, and use it, and it works well.

The larger double bull seat works out well with the lumbar support.

i have one of the original black Double Bull seats. I wish it were smaller but it has back support and for me that has gotten to be an important issue. I use it in many situations when I find a hot spot and don't have a tree stand to put up quickly. It likes level ground but in most cases I can get it steady and comfortable.

Saw a chair in the new Orvis catalog I got yesterday.  Coat $89, imported.  Made of tubular steel, has fully swivil seat, backrest up or down, 4 legs with cross tubes along the bottom, has a pouch attached. Folds up for travel.  Looks like it could be very useable. I've seen similar chairs elsewhere for less and they were a bit cheep in MHO. Wonder if the Orvis chair is any better quality or if part of the cost in the name?

Here are pics of Mike's chair:

 
 

the back leg goes in a socket, and is removable for carrying (nifty little attachment), or when it is leaned against a tree (like in Biggie's photo).  The seat folds up flat for carrying.

They are NICE!

Check with Mike (a.k.a. Squirrelbait).  I know his job is nuts right now (no pun intended), but maybe he is keeping a list.

My double bull serves me well. Cabela's has had them in the past. They also have their own knock off version.
