The DB chair isn't  cheap but I don't think you were referring to them....... :)

3 an 4 leg stools can have issues when the ground is unlevel or roots are exposed.
Looking at a Big Jim Hunter seat or a torges tree seat.
Over the last 7  years of ground hunting you better be comfortable or you will be sorry.

I like my DB for inside of a ground blind, but I want to get that hammock seat from Steve at Simply Traditional before deer season this year.

Is there a good size and pattern for the torges seat? Are you guys using some type of pad? I like the idea, and have tried one a couple times, just didn't seem to comfortable to me. Call me a sissy, but I like to be comfy when I deer hunt.    :D  
Don't mean to hijack your thread Rob!

"Is there a good size and pattern for the torges seat?"

Many plans out there on the seat.
Experiment to see what you like
Glue padding to seat.

anytime you sit with your full weight on you butt its not comfortable. Unless you have a recliner in the woods   :wavey:

I use the hammock seat or a nif-t seat. Both very light weight and supports the 250# strain I put on them. The hammock is more comfortable though.

I made a Torges Tree Seat last year.

 http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=121092#000000

I just used left over material from around the house  and didn't worry about how pretty it is.

I don't use it all the time, but have used it and found it to be comfy. I think I prefer it when sitting high up so I can stand to shoot...of course, the cover and set up have to warrant it.

This is how I set up "torges style" using an old lone wolf climber seat. It is lighter and stronger than plywood.

I like that. I need to be on the lookout for an old decrepit stand and recycle the seat

Take a look at the ground hunter seat. We have it on our site and I have tested it many times. It works very well and helps the hunter blend in to the tree.
Lightweight and inexpensive, it makes for a comfortable sit and a super quick and quiet set up. It also allows you to set it higher or lower for ease of movement.
Not going to work in a ground blind, but most anywhere else i would be the bomb.

I like it a bunch and tip the scales at a bit over 325 with all my hunting gear on.
