This might be an old topic of discussion but I'm looking for a quality lightweight backpacking chair that I can sit and glass on soft or uneven ground. My REI chair has the typical 4 legs and is terrible sitting on a slope or it just digs in the soft dirt. Anybody figure the perfect pack chair for hunters on uneven and soft dirt?
 
If you don’t mind actually sitting on the ground I’ve really liked my crazy creek hex chair. If on uneven terrain you really only need the corner of the chair touching the ground so it has been easy to kick a small spot for that with my boot. Haven’t found a spot I couldn’t get it set up quickly yet.

Listen to HTLT and buy yourself a crazy creek camp chair. They make a smaller lightweight pack version, which is the one I have. And they also make a bigger “recliner” style with what appears to be an extended back rest. Packable, lightweight, adjustable, muted colors.

It’s the only way I can sit in the woods for any extended amount of time, as my S1-L5 is severely herniated.
 
+1 for the crazy creek chair. I also cut an old ridgerest the same size as the seat area for some additional padding as well as using it for placing in front of my tent for knees and feet.
