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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
