Title: DIY Hunter’s Pack Seat
Post by: Don W on October 29, 2021, 09:54:09 pm
details of the build https://www.diy.timetestedtools.net/diy-hunters-pack-seat/

There are a few pack seats on the market, but they’re very pricey, and although I didn’t buy any of them, I had concerns about each one. I tried to avoid those concerns in my design, however, my design required it meet my ability to built it both in skill set and equipment needed.

It took a couple of iterations to get to the final design. That may be clear in some of the esthetics.

It's pretty easy. First iteration only took about an hour. It took a little tweaking but not much.

I like it alot
my only concern is that where the front leg is attached to the flat the flat is engraved and this could be a weak point
