tsk tsk tsk - Mike Mitchell (a.k.a. - SquirrelBait around here) was making those back a few years ago - looks like someone beat him to the mass market.... - glad I own "an original"..

The bar across the front of the seat loox like it will cut off a persons circulation. Or force you to sit with your legs pretty far apart.

The back of the seat looks like it sits too far back.

Just what I've observed from the pix....

Somehow I missed this one....

Yep...from just looking at the pics....read the info Curt, and you will find that's not the case.  

I'm getting one of these.....never heard back from Hunt More.

What really sparked my near commitment was yesterday when I was almost a mile in the swamp with a climber on my back and went by a place I killed a deer from the ground 4-5 years ago.I stopped and took the stand off and sat on a log...sweat running dowm my face and had a great recall of the deer killing. Then looked at the climber and all the other junk I had with me and thought.. your an idiot...RC

You know I am thinking the same thing.....

BobW, Guys I don't make them anymore. And Dave Waldrop was the inventor of the seat. I'm glad to see Mr. Dave making something off his chair. I just did not have the time to build them. Mike Mitchum

Regarding the weight of the seat - I e-mailed Teresa Asbell two or three days ago asking that exact question.  She says it weighs 4 pounds and 12 ounces.

Has anyone talked to G. Fred about this product? I to have given up on the "Huntsmore". To many issues/questions unanswered for the money. I'll make do this year with my Double Bull "Magnum".

The PacSeat looks really nice and functionable. But I just can't bring myself to spend that sorta money on a hunting seat.

It's a high quality seat, if you want to save money, carry a 5 gallon bucket. If you want a fine piece of hunting equipment that you can hand down to your kids, this seat is the best.
You will see the craftsmanship when you hold one in your hands or feel one under your cheeks  8-)

Yep you get what you pay for

I don't know what it weighs but I have one of those three legged stools that can spin 360*, sat most of the day on Saturday, very comfortable.

Any comparisons to the Magnus RackPack?

I am leaning towards the Waldrop PacSeat, but the Magnus is of similar design and looks promising as well. Would love y'all's thoughts. Thanks!

I don't know about the Waldrop Pacseat, but at our latest Michigan Longbow Association council meeting one of our members brought his Huntmore seat to sit on, and it kept making a squeaking noise when he moved...not good for a hunting seat, especially for that kind of money.  It could have been a fluke with his particular chair, but...

I've tried one and did not find it all that comfortable myself. Being that 99% of the time I have a pack or fanny pack on already, the pack feature is not of much use to me.

I was worried about the max weight capacity but since Biggie endorsed it I guess I'll call GFA to order one. Should work great with my Ghillie and surely will be used during Turkey season. It's been almost 3 weeks since I spent any money on hunting stuff and I was feeling the withdrawal pangs.

[Terry Green]

Ordering it today....and I will find out more about it as I WILL be using it a lot with my guillie.

Terry, when it comes ,give us your opinion right out of the box. Quality ,weight and such. I'd like to know your first thoughts on the seat. Thanks.. ron w    

[Biggie Hoffman]

For those concerned, the seat is adjustable by tightening or letting out the lacings. It's amazing how much an inch of lacing can make a big difference in how it sits.

[Biggie Hoffman]

I apologize for the grammar on the last post....maybe I need to go back and repeat 6th grade?

[ron w]

I guess I'll have to back also....it sounds fine to me........
