UL 3-Legged Camp Chair

Also, My idea is to use my cargo chair and drap it over this chair and use my poles to give it a back. I think this will be the best option at little weight cost.

A much better option for a three legged stool then the cheap camp ones walmart sells. Good price and fairly lightweight

Jim good little review you found. that clears things up. Its big brother maybe a better option. Its 22 ounces.

Has anyone humped one of these units up a mountain?

What about a build your own frame? Take the corner-pocketed fabric top and some paracord in with you and lash your own frame at any height you wanted.

I have one of these and they are great for lounging around camp. If you might use it to bowhunt around a wallow or waterhole I would go with something else. For hunting I prefer the REI 3 legged stool that I cut all the straps off of to drop it down around 12 ounces. Put it next to a tree for back support.

Who was it that had taken their Kifaru cargo panel and sewn on some fabric to make a chair out of it with trekking poles? I'm curious how it ended up working for him.

couesbitten did the cargo chair.

I have a larger version of this from Champion Shooters Supply but it is twice the weight and I'm sure it is bigger. It has a fancy bag for shooting accessories underneath. Comfort comes at a cost.

What does the Kifaru weigh in at?

I was just looking at the Roll-A-Cot site and noticed their smaller stool is 14oz, scrolled down further and saw they have a new even lighter Mini-Lite Hiking Stool that is only 10oz! Kinda short, but for those counting ounces it might be an option. So far I think 10oz is the lightest I've seen in any leg stool.

Check out the alite mantis. 1.6 lbs with 4 legs. Used it during my AT hike and it was comfortable and durable.

I've got back pain that really acts up if I don't have back support when sitting. So all of the non-backed options were out, and I try to be as minimal as possible for sheep season. Despite all that my partner convinced me to just stop being a puss and carry the extra weight knowing it really wasn't that big of a deal. So I bought a Crazy Creek 2.0 Hex chair. Yes it just sits on the ground, yes it weights a little over a pound....a luxury item for sure. I tried out Luke's thermarest frame integrating the sleeping pad and that just didn't work out for me. I was amazed how comfortable the Crazy Creek chair was to have. I used it ALL the time, was great for glassing, super durable and the foam was nice and thick. I know I won't ever be leaving it behind again. The adjustable straps was also a nice touch, I wasn't stuck with just one back position like all the legged chairs many have posted here. Again, very helpful to get just the back support I needed when glassing.

If you decide to go that route check out the Amazon warehouse deals, I picked one up there for about $20 less than retail on em.

One of the guys at the strip this year had a Crazy Creek chair. I do fine just picking comfy spots to plant my posterior but I will admit to being a tad envious of his fancy rump cradle while we were stuck there for 5 days.

Like the Crazy creek too, I have the older model. Great for keeping me from getting the swamp butt, from sitting on wet ground and since I have a bad back the back support is worth the weight.

If you are comfortable,, you will hunt longer.

Just like Helinox-style chairs but the legs are different. This would prevent sinking but I wonder if the chair is as good.

So do you bring both this and the roll top chair?

So do you bring both this and the roll top chair?

Depends on the type of hunt, for motorized hunts yes I do. For backpack hunts I take the roll-a-chair and a piece cut off of a Z-Lite mat. If you have seen Aron's video on the pack, it is similar to that. I use it to sit on and for a torso pad for when I have to siwash to keep my torso from getting cold from ground contact. I leave the roll-a-chair at basecamp and use the Z-Lite piece for spiking out.

In this photo my wife is carrying both hers and mine, you can see by the look on her face that she is about exhausted. I took this photo as we were almost back to camp to capture the moment, she was none too happy that I choose to have her wait for me to take the photo as opposed to help her get that pack off.

1#12oz. My goto.

The beauty with these chairs is they set you up in great archery form.
