Alps makes an aluminum version for campers. Needs a good coat of spray paint but it's much lighter.

Let us know Ant. It looks too high off the ground for my taste. I agree. Im hoping to be able to cut the legs down or not use the feet so it can be shoved in the ground a few inches

I like a lounger - but mine heavy. Another negative - hard to swing around far in it - behind u - u screwed
I take a square very light seat w legs more times than not - front legs r bigger than back so it slants to tree
But lounger way more comfortable - but square seat way more portable. Another negative on lounger - its low to ground - takes longer to see gob - but that also a blessing - u blend in more w ground
If i think i may hav a field bird i take the lounger
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self We need prayer for our country now more than ever

I have the helinox and it is pretty useless on unlevel ground. Really only hits the mark for compact and lightweight. I still think the gobbler lounger is the best design.

I agree that the gobbler lounger is the best design, and in my old age I can't hunt without it. A good strap that lets me get it on my back really helps, but it's still like carrying 2 guns. Get someone to make one that is truly lightweight but equally strong and I will buy one. Some enterprising young man oughta do this; I think there would be a very strong niche market.

Look at the Waldrop PAC seat turkey edition. It’s expensive but only weighs 4 lbs. It’s super comfortable and very versatile as you can use it freestanding and leaning against a tree. Oh, did I mention it’s expensive? It’s American made and aluminum. It’s a quality product but with good quality and American made comes a high price tag.

not as comfortable as what y’all are talking about, but if you can find a niff-t-seat it would be a good option for you. it is light, portable, well made and keeps you off of the ground. i have been using mine for approximately 20 years.

one other idea is the guys that purchased the “waldrop pacseat” are now making a model specifically for turkey hunting; pretty expensive but would not weigh more than a couple of pounds and is comfortable. i have the regular size waldrop seat and use it while deer hunting, reunions, sporting events, etc. it literally wears like a quality backpack. if you live in the b’ham area, let me know and we can meet so that you can try it out.

Have the Cabelas one. Very comfortable. I even deer hunt out of it.
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

I know a fella who likes these two strapped together. It is light. Claims it's as comfortable as the lounger. I fell backwards out of it. Different strokes. ![[Linked Image]](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0499/1093/9837/products/Main_B09VPX2Z6X_New_540x.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0633/4175/6642/products/SRR-11-A_600x.jpg)

Y’all sitting on green fields in these loungers? No way I’m carrying that through the woods.

Y’all sitting on green fields in these loungers? No way I’m carrying that through the woods. I carry mine up mountains and through the thickest of woods. With my back issues, I couldn't sit more than a few minutes without it, so I don't have much choice.
