The seat can be adjusted by tightening up the cords on the under side of the seat, which will take up the slack so that you sit higher. The only drawback would be the bar might cut into the back of you legs.

I have one on the way. Look forward to trying it out this spring. Not planning on using it as a pac frame but would love to have to try. Will add my opinions after receipt. Thanks for posting. Input by fellow TradGang members is always helpfull.

Winterhawk, I understand about the distance factor from the tree. I was referring to the angle of the seat as installed onto the frame of the chair. Kevin's picture shows exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks Kevin for the excellent pics. So, tightening the seat strings can change the angle of the seat somewhat. That's good to know. I have one of the original seats made by squirrelbait from several years ago. I use it all the time and it has served me well. I was just wondering what would make me purchase this new one. So far, I ain't completely sold. Thanks for the info.

Kevin
Thanks for the pics also, it's a slightly different angle than I've seen in all the others. It looks as if the pack could be modified with new straps easily, and from the side, the seat portion looks a lot like an external fram load shelf if the pack can be worn with the seat out. I'd imagine that it could hold a few pounds since Biggie has R&D'd it.
I should have mine pretty soon, the day after I ordered it the Asbells sent me a "package is on its way" email.

Hunting with the bow and arrow involves earning your way by making meat, getting your hands messy in the process and then recognizing your own reflection upon them.

How has this seat performed when hunting out of a pop-up blind?

I recommend using a face mask even in a blind as white shows up especially when sitting in a black hole like a DB blind.

A swivel seat really helps and is easy to do.
And folded up ready to go.

Mudd, it's pretty darn easy. If you have a gander mountain near you pick up a swivel seat that goes on a bucket.(cost$12) Then just drill a hole in the SIDE of the swivel seat. Not the top because it will impede the swivel action. Attach to the front rail with zip ties and when carrying it just flip it up and attach to the top rail with a small bungee.

Would like to thank Bob Morrison for putting this idea in my head.

Thank you David!!
I assume that the hole is drilled into the base and not the seat itself?
Can you take a close up of it's attachment?
Sorry I am a slow learner!!
God bless,Mudd

Mudd I actually wiggled the zip tie through the seat close to the rail. Didn't want to drill in to the rail.

I knew there was someone out there a lot smarter than me. Thanks so much for the imformation. I went to the sporting goods store and got the seat this morning and I will attach the same as you. I tried it without being attached and it works like a dream.
It was great of you to post the photos and share your ingenious solution to help my quest for the perfect hunting chair.
I hope that in some small way my posts will be of some value to others.
Thanks Again

Thanks Tom, Bob put the idea in my head. I tried a couple different hinges but found this works best. The nice thing is is that it's cheap and makes great seat greater.

On the bungee I took off the metal hook and where the bungee cord is folded over and stapled I ran a plastic strap through it and a hole in the seat so that it would not come off. Now just pull over and hook the remaining hook.

Darn!!
I wish my mind would make the words into pictures so I could understand.
Please don't take this as a bash at you folks.
It truly is a problem for me when I can't see it in my minds eye. (slightly dyslexic or something I guess) Certainly not something new.
Printed instructions for just about anything are basically worthless to me unless there are pictures that go with them.
God bless,Mudd
PS: Trial and error does work for me but it can take a lot longer and ruin stuff.

Looks like a great modification. The only problem I foresee is that I've never seen one of those seats stay silent for very long. I sure hope it works out for you.
