Ray, I'm interested as well. How long before they are available. Fred

Guys, give Ray a couple of days,please. I'll try to have some answers this weekend. I'm trying to figure ways to make these work the best they can, and working my full time job 10 hours a day on top of that.Mike

I weigh 305 lbs...that's my chair. the fellow modeling it is 5 ft 10 1 /2 inches tall...I haven't measured it...but I cannot get ahead of myself...I feel funny doing anything with this till I get squared away with Rob and Terry on a sponsorship/vendor thing done.

Give me a couple days and I will be back with the details and a price, where to order, OK?

Ray, Sounds good. Thanks

No worries guys...sound like a jam up idea...and a great product. Let me know how Trad Gang can help.

Sounds great Ray, be sure to keep me posted as this looks to be about perfect to me...Mike

well, we are getting our website done right now. The chair weighs right around 7 lbs with good rubber backback straps like I have installed. Its made of steel- hand built one at a time by Squirrel Bait, aka Mike Mitchum, my partner in this venture.

This prototype has camo tape on it..but the production version will be painted with a gray base and light sea foam green and tan leaves with a few black 'branch'accents on it.

It will come with black webbed seat as you can see, and closed cell foam around the seat to keep you from fidgeting.

I'll be back shortly with weblink, pricing, etc.

I'm trying to convince him to do an ultra-light aluminum model for us smaller framed kids

Hamm-on-seat?

Ben Woodring · November 16, 2007, 09:44:00 AM

Excellent! I'm in for one when you're ready to launch your venture

Chris Surtees · November 16, 2007, 10:06:00 AM

Not to take away from the idea but here is a another great seat. Check out Millennium Tree Stand's seat. Light weight and easy to carry in or strap to a pack. Lock on treestand is also a very good product.

I am always amazed by this site.

Ray is worried about taking advantage...

Terry is only concerned about Ray being successful.

Any one who does not believe in the "top down" theory needs to visit here.

Ray Hammond · November 17, 2007, 12:18:00 AM

JC, that's possible later...but aluminum requires a different, and more expensive welding machine we don't have at this time...and at 6 or 7 lbs it shouldnt be a big deal for most- I hope.

Bob@helle, Mike and I just didn't want anyone to feel like we were getting special treatment or using the site without paying, which I think has happened in the past- even the inference that we were somehow trying to do that would not sit well with either of us.

Terry, Rob and the moderators do such a wonderful job here (let me tell you how hard that mod job is- Terry asked me to try it and I had to beg off after a few months- it takes a special individual to handle that task!!!) we just wanted to be sure we didn't abuse the site in any way.

Ray and Mike, look forward to seeing these seats. I think it would work great for turkey hunting.

Could not ask for two better guys to buy hunting gear from. Let us know when you have everything worked out.

Squirrel Bait · November 17, 2007, 07:57:00 PM

O.K. well I think I got it working like I want it, I went in to work today, (yeah I know it's Saturday) but I spent all Friday morning in the Gainesville ER with my gall bladder screaming. I had to get some hours somehow, made Ray another seat, to see what he thought of the changes. I met with him , to have a look at it, he said he liked it. When we get the webbing on the seat, we'll see if Ray can't put some pics up.

Thanks Mike. Can't wait to see it.

Chris · November 18, 2007, 11:39:00 AM

Great looking seat Ray and Mike. This will definitely be on my "to buy" list as soon as you have it ready.

It's going to be called the "Anywhere Hunting Chair" - we'll get things squared away and be back on here to let you know where to reach us.

Thanks everyone for your support.

Ray, Can't wait...I'm ready to place my order. Fred
