Well I just ordered one, I hope it arrives soon!!!!! Those who hunt with em, any tips tricks you'd like to share!
two tennis balls on the front feet.
Hmmmm.....For what???
I stuff my bow holder between the top seat fabric. I taped some rubber tube on each leg foot that holds my decoy stakes . One on each side.
Money well spent.
The tennis balls will allow you to sit on some softer ground without sinking in.
God bless,Mudd
Great idea mudd.....thanks!
My buddy got one. He attached a mid sized fanny pack right to the frame. Works great.
Cloth camo tape makes'em a little more quiet. I put a little fanny pack from the army surplus on the back of mine...works great! Mudd, them there tennis balls come in camo? :D

I wrapped my seat bar with hockey tape to quiet it down after it started sqeeking a bit. Great chair and love mine. One of my best purchases.
Hahaha!! Covey with what I weigh it wouldn't matter much as they are usually below eyeball level anyway.....lol
God bless,Mudd

Now that's funny, right there!!!
I'm currently modifying a pack bag to the frame, and hope to come up with a way to get my ghillie, camo backdrop netting, and the bag to all pack between my shoulders. I have yet to hunt out of it, but will fix that in a few weeks.

Here is my set up for the last two seasons. Cheap Wally World bag attached to the seat back grommets with mini caribiners. My blind material is also strapped on.

Ringneck...can you elaborate on exactly how you used the tape to quiet the squeaking? Thanks!
I use mine not only to hunt out of, but it makes a great chair in the tipi and around camp!
A little vegetable oil where the seat hinges helps with the squeaking!
Jason
Kevin, the bar on the seat under your legs sqeeked when it was cold on mine. It was caused by the fabric rubbing on the metal, so I wrapped it with tape.
Jason and Ringneck,
Thanks for the suggestions. First thing I have to do is determine exactly where mine is squeaking and then use the appropriate fix!
Kevin
More pics of Chair use please. set ups etc.
Hey Redneck, my hunting buddy has almost the same exact set up! It looks and works great. Everything for a full day in the woods right there.
Alot of great ideas, keep them coming. BTW a great hunting seat lite and easy.
Thanks for all the tips...all great ideas!
Is mine a little different than those posted or have I been using it incorrectly?

I have bought and built a bunch of different hunting seats in my lifetime but this is the best money I ever spent and way better than those of my own making.
God bless,Mudd
Beats me, Mudd. It appears to work both ways!
Here is my Waldrop Pack seat set up for my turkey season. Been using a version of Davids seat now for 15 years. It's perfect for how i turkey hunt.
Heres a side profile how i tote my arrows in my Annawakee Adjustable side quiver. I used John screw knobs, drilled a hole in elbow bracket and attached.. It's perfect to leave on or take off and lay besides me. Notice seat is extended out for picture but would be tuck in for wearing the pack.

Heres a pic of the other side is use a Piggy back arrow holder to haul my DSD decoy stakes. No rattling or anything..right there to use. Notice how straps are on the opposite side of ho they would be when i wear it.

Whats a Waldrop pack Seat without a pack attached. This old pack i cut the straps off and zip tied to lower half. i like the pack mounted to lower half due to fact i carry alot of stuff on top. Notice how i use paracord to lash the 2 nd leg.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i150/jmb1221/seatsidebar.jpg)
Here is is all loaded. Notice how the 2 leg supports flips up half way and serves as a shelf to hold my decoy.. This is a very comfortable haul to hold my decoys and camo cape. (fish net looking stuff)

Great tips there Joe. Thanks for the pictures.
Good stuff Joe, thanks!
Ordered mine yesterday
Nice pics Joe. :thumbsup: Now, I am "definitely" interested in getting one.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice weather and I had some time....so today a test drive was in order in the back yard. I set up the pac seat against a tree and did some shooting from it. I think this is going to be the hot ticket for hunting this year,,,,,sits well, was shooting my 62" longbow with no problem from it. Best guess would be that I will not be able to stay awake very long this fall.... :thumbsup:
Mine is so comfortable it think it was designed by some anti-hunters. Thank goodness there's no head rest.
Where could I purchase one of these?
I just received mine yesterday.I am very happy with my purchase.Made in the USA.It only took about two weeks to get it.My mini cat quiver will fit nicely on the side with a couple of zip ties.Glen

Thanks Mr. Hansen! I will have to check that out, going to learn to hunt from the ground this year, and I figure a nice seat is just the ticket to keep me focused and comfortable

Yep, mine didn't make it home with me after a trip to WY...
I have a replacement though - in the process of getting it set up for the turkeys.

GB you are more than welcome to come sit in mine all you want... just don't take it out of my yard...lol

I just placed my ordered for one of the Waldrop Pacseats.
Does anybody have a picture of yourself sitting in the chair and shooting from the chair? Just looking at the chair doesn't look as if it's made to shoot from it. How do you set that up in front of a tree? Won't the rear frame be on the tree roots and keep you out from the tree? If anyone can help, Thanks
Just got one from the wife and kids for my BDay yesterday! Sat on it in the living room and watched the Ranger game!
Saw, it's a great design. You can use it with or without the back legs. With them it is a self standing seat. With the rear legs left in the folded position the top seat bar rests on the tree trunk. The front bottom legs are placed aboout 12-16 inches away from the tree base. You sit pretty low to the ground. Check out the website their a sponsor here available through G. Fred Asbell.
Thanks Pete, I didn't know it could be used that way against a tree.
Definitely made to shoot from, either agaist a tree(a little more upright)or free standing. I hunted all season out of mine with a guille suit and 62" to 66" Hill long bows. Very comfortable and easy transport. As Mudd said earlier, tennis balls are a good thing to have on the front legs to prevent sinkage or loss. I like the chartruse balls. Set mine down to prepare a problem with my bow quiver and walked off leaving the seat on the ground. Back tracked and found it pretty quickly because of the bright colored tennis balls. For the ground hunter who ventures well off the beaten path this seat is a beast.
Like rigneck's setup. :thumbsup:
Anyone have an accurate scale? Curious what it weighs? Might have to add one to my arsenal.
Biathlon mine was 4.75lbs out of the box.
I've had mine for a few weeks now and think I've got it tricked out like I wanted.
I've sold alot of treestands, blinds, bows....etc but my pacseat is one thing I'll never sale! Anybody that buys one, will not regret it!

Thermacell, catquiver, & 'man purse' from a military surplus store.

The man purse is attached with zip ties and does not interfere with leaning against a tree. The way I rope webbed the back leg is still usable to sit with but I have to carry it in the up position. I will use that put extra clothes and stuff on top of the webbing and wedge it against the back for carrying. The web strap will be used to keep it tight.

The catquiver is attached using rubber kwik-straps (3rivers) for easy removal but is rock solid and doesn't get in the way when leaned against a tree. I also wrapped pipe insulation rubber tape around parts I thought might rattle. I also wrapped it around the seat bar to cushion it against my leg but it squeaks A LOT and has already torn so I will probably have to take that off. If you see any improvement needed let me know.
