Looking for a stool that will packup small enough to carry in or on a backpack for a day hunt but tall enough for shooting off of.

double bull makes a folding seat for there groundblinds, and cabelas carries a swivel seat called the "Bull Stool" that would be perfect for a pack. Tim

COOL!!  I Like Both of 'em!! That Last One looks just Handy!

The tripod stools will sink into the ground.  Get the kind like in the sportsmanguide link witht he frame that goes along the base.  Here's one my company carries:  

 

I'm not a sponsor and this isn't an ad to buy, just an example of a good, cheap, comfortable chair.  Made in Mexico, not China  

The buck or bull stools (sold through a sponsor 3R) are pretty good once set up.  Kind of noisy when you put them together (plastic with integral "button" pins, and until you sit on it, the bearings on the seat are noisy.

The three legs adjust independently for uneven ground, and the feet are flared out so as not to sink too far intot he ground.

I like mine, and at 250# I am well supported.

Not sure how small of a package you are looking at, but check it out.

P.S. - get the pad or make your own, the seat is hard without...

THIS IS THE SEAT THEY ARE REFERRING TO!!!!(CABELAS SELLS THEM )

Hi Glenn,
I would have to go along with onemissippi on this one, the Dean Torges tree seat is really practical, cheap and works like a charm. I have made and used several of them. I hunt in cover which is typical here in KY, cutover areas of dense brush, multaflora rose, brambles n briars, oak woods or cedar thickets. I manytimes use a Rancho Safari Guillie get up called "the shorty" (I think!). this setup allows me to be very mobile.

I am using this one this year

I've got a couple of the walkstools mentioned by ChuckC above.  They work quite nicely an are very strong.  No complaints with the product.  

Hunting from the ground, on a stool is much easier on my old knees and is easier to get into shot position at the moment of truth....a lot easier than getting up off the gound

Check out the (Git-r-done Seat) at Git-r-done archery, a sponser here.  There is a review of it on the Peteward.com site under trad reviews.  If you see the reviews, overlook the pictures of my ugly mug that Pete put on the review.  LOL!!!!  Hard to beat the price and light to pack.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned the Nif-T-Seat yet.  At first glance it doesn't look like it would be stable, but once you try one you'll find none better or more versitle.

I'm thinking of using a Double Bull seat or a Summit Tree seat, just strap it around a tree at what ever height you want.  http://www.summitstands.com/catalog.aspx?catid=TreeSeat

I use the "tree seat" that onemississipp posted. I make my own. Basically free. Just find some plywood from a construction site dumpster and some nylon rope. easy to move from one place to another quickly. Easy to carry with my gear.

I'm with Whip. Have used the Nif-t-seat and love it!

O.K. fellas,where can a person get a look at this Nif-t-seat?  Leland

Here ya go:  Seat

I like the double bull but it gets hard to sit still after a while.
