Last year I was invited to go hunting with my brother in law where he has permits to take some nuisance deer. He had ten permits and filled seven. We hunted some cornfields that were pretty long to hike around and there was no cover and whatever was brought in had to be brought out. There were no trees for stands so I brought a folding chair that I tied a sling to but it was a pain to hike in and out. This year I have been invited again so I decided to do something different. I took an old bar stool my wife bought some 20 years back that neither of us use and has been in storage. So I cut off about 18 inches of it, took the rest apart and filled all the crevices with wood glue and put it back together. I then took some boards, screwed them into the legs and then took two more boards and screwed all those together for a solid platform. I then painted it and it sits at a comfortable height for me and I sat on it for some time and it holds me just fine. It will much easier to hike in and out than that stupid chair from last year. The best part is it cost me nothing, all the materials including the paint were already here.
