A friend said he'd paid a lot of money to have one on his last backpack hunt.
Do any of you have one you'd recommend?

Rice cakes give me the lightest stools, but they don't offer much protein for a long walk.

Not a stool, but these are comfortable, and about as light as you can get. Leave the headrest at home, it adds 4 oz and is worthless. Just be careful getting in/out of the chair: http://slinglight.com/sl/

I really like this - fits easily in my bag, very comfortable with a nice wide seat - not like the small ones that want to pinch your rump. Nice rubber feet that are quiet when up in a deer stand.

This one isn't as light and compact as some, but for a long sit it's whole lot more comfortable than those tripod ball busters. ALPS STOOL

I've been eyeballing one of these for some time now but I'm too cheap to buy it. Planning on asking Santa for it. http://www.rei.com/product/829239/rei-flex-lite-chair

If you have trees and it ain't brutally cold, then bring a hammock and you don't need a chair, 'cause you already have one. I sit on the edge of my Hennessy to cook and once that is accomplished and my food bag is hung and I crawl inside my hammock I no longer need a chair.

Get it before hunting season. I want to try it out to see if I should spend MY money on one.

These chairs are great, the one snubbie is talking about is similar to the one that I bought but 40 dollars cheaper. They pack up to the size and weight of a loaf of bread and a 250 lb weight capacity.

One nice thing about the REI one that Snubbie posted is that it folds to only 14" long. It would fit nicely in my llama panniers, unlike so many folding chairs.

Did you see the post about Oregon anti-hunting companies on the Hunters Campfire forum? REI is high on the list. ANTI-HUNTERS I watched the video on that chair and I think it might be a problem on soft ground. Those legs are tiny and would sink into anything but hard ground.

Here's one on Amazon that looks about the same as the REI chair. ...and $20 cheaper! http://www.amazon.com/Updated-Adjus...0&sr=1-74&keywords=camping+stool
