Bushcraft Camping Chair

[Kruegtown]

I plan to make this chair in the coming months, but I question the measurements of the material. You state a few times that is 2 feet by 3 feet, but watching the video, it just looks larger than than. Can you clarify the dimensions?

Thanks-

[CreatorCade]

Great idea I'll try it when I get a chance

[imackay84]

why not just sit on the ground ?

[seanmulhall]

@imackay84 You get a cold wet bum. It can get uncomfortable if you are there for any length of time. And my whole attitude to bushcraft is to be comfy in the woods.

[imackay84]

@seanmulhall iv been out on my bike i live in glasgow it always wet over heer a bit like the rain forest but wet er n i got soking tonight so you have a point iv been bulding my 2nd tree hous cany wate to move in cob fire dry mabe make a few ov these seats out the front

[TheFlowerchimp]

Hello again, Ive just finished making the chair material. All sewing done on a machine and reinforced. I used paracord on the top and strong webbing on the botton. The material was from the army surplus store. Its a strong material used as a casualty blanket (gulp), very strong olive drab in colour.

I cant wait to try it out.

[seanmulhall]

@TheFlowerchimp

That material sounds great. I only used this material because I was given it for free.

[TheFlowerchimp]

Nice video I will be making a few of these. Thanks for posting.

[nobodyprepper]

simple and efficient...

[southernsurvivor251]

great chair ,,i m making one now ,i seen the video 2 months ago and wanted one ,,i will post it

[emocircusops]

dude what is with the hat it looks unique?

[F0rkb0y]

Nice hat!Doesn't look like it's 2 hours old out in the sticks.How much $ did it cost to buy or make lol?

[YllwNinja]

19 stone is 266 pounds

[scott80100]

cut a hole in it and have a jungle pooper...

[seanmulhall]

@scott80100

That would be a luxury pooper.

[alertpan501]

This is a favorite pursuit of my family. We got some good tips at rvparkandcampingexpert (.) com

[newcoyote]

@googled doesn't ever get to do anything fun. Must suck.

[Dem0D1ck]

Neat, worth giving a try. Think the bottom straps would be necessary to add stability and prevent the seat area from bunching up on the pole.

I see your hat is evolving. Back in '08 you didn't have anything but a woven leather hat band, by Nov. of '09 you've got 2 teeth and a bunch of feathers, by Sep. 2010 you've added 2 teeth and a half dozen or so pins. You could keep your Ferro stick up there too.

Keep up the great posts, great to watch.

[mrfireclaw]

cool can sent me email on he some can print in my notes



[Majorupheaval]

Love it!

[KittchenSink]

Thats a really cool idea Sean. You should market that

[googIed]

The audio is REALLY low, but you still sound like one of the chimney cleaners with Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins.

You look like a damn pirate too. You have all kinds of feathers coming out your Crocodile Dundee hat, and you have a fox tail coming out your right buttcheek. Also, what is that? A sword, a dagger? Did you just come back from the Renaissance Fair?

Your chair looks pretty uncomfortable too. EconoChallenge's chair looked decent, but yours looks like a timeout chair on a pirate ship.

[nolobede]

Nice Hat.

[boulder89984]

Thanks for going to tremendous lengths to tell me how to sit in a chair.

[megadan01]

Thanks! I've been wanting to make something just like this.

[hoz49]

The bottom loops go ' right way along", is that English for  "all the way through"?

[seanmulhall]

Sorry. I have made a tube from the material and then using one length of webbing stiched it along the the full length with a loop sticking out at each end.

[fathfulheadbanger]

@hoz49 ya

[luresalive]

Great idea, well done

[Johnsnow85]

This makes a great chair for the outdoors. However I make my tripod chair with a hammock folded in half. Just as easy to set up and tie with the stick at the bottom. I like the loop idea, I haven't thought of that to keep the tri pod solid and the stick from slipping, I just sharpen the poles to stake to the ground and my weight drives them just far enough and evenly (if I choose the right spot) I suppose I could use a net hammock to replicate the loops and just pass the two poles through it. ty

[boomtao]

I couldn't quite make out what the material is called ('hyperlast'?). I was also thinking about making a chair like this. My idea was to use two layers, that way you can still use it as a sack/ bag (always handy), mosquitos won't be able to bite through and you could put insulation in it. I am looking for the strongest, water-repellent, lightest material (that can be stuffed small and dries quickly).

[seanmulhall]

A second skin is a good idea. I have found in the cold you really feel the wind around you.

[wtfover234567891]

Cool! I can see that for me this would be very useful on extended camping trips. lightweight and not much to carry on your person.

[echodawg]

Very nice Sean! 5/5

[EconoChallenge]

Amazing.  Truly Amazing! Hey I wonder what WEZO24522164 thinks of this one?

[seanmulhall]

Why him in particular?

[EconoChallenge]

He expressed some of his feelings about this project under our video. I just wondered if he had an opinion about this version. Love the extra straps. That will help when you set up the chair on good old Canadian Shield!

[AnSaoiste]

Good stuff Sean

[DominickBlack]

Bravo as usual!

[BennyLR]

Thanks for the Vid!

[0MrENigma0]

Nice Work!

[MNdigger]

That's Awesome!!!

[charper3006]

Very cool Sean!!!

[CelticReject]

That's fantastic!! What a great chair!

[Ggreenvideos]

Yeah cool just made one a while ago I got the idea from econochallenge and did a response video since the idea wasn't mine!

[seanmulhall]

I'll check out his channel.

[Wildernessliving]

very nice great idea

[wall2rockclimber]

hi sean,

i was talking to chris about your vid, actually you have come up with a really good idea.

excellent take on the famous chair mate.

good stuff

mike

[dlvmark]

Good stuff. Try using a tree as part of your tripod. its more stable and then you only need three poles. I made one of these out of a laundry bag. I works great. Mark

[TheGods1marine]

whats 19 stone?

[seanmulhall]

266 pounds

[TheGods1marine]

WOW thats a BIG guy

[hoosierarcher]

I need one 4 feet X 3 Feet what would the shipping be from the UK to Indiana, USA? plus the cost of materials?

[seanmulhall]

Do you want me to make one for you? I dont normally make items for other people, but if you do I'll make it and cost it up for you.

[hoosierarcher]

I was saying how much I liked it by placing an order. I Probably couldn't afford the international shipping. It would probably be more than 10 GBP.

But hey just for giggles why not find out the costs and let me know? I appreciate the offer. By the by the reason I need it bigger is that I'm bigger than your mate. About 20 stone.

[paddyboy12432]

nice...!

[hoosierarcher]

Anybody got a Ricola? Sean needs one.

[seanmulhall]

Whats a Ricloa?

[akhenatten]

i think he meant Ricola, cough drop.

[hoosierarcher]

sorry Rikola. It's an herbal cough logenze from Sweden. Works a treat. I thought you had them in the UK too.

[hoosierarcher]

I had the spelling right the first time Ricola.

[kobudo4]

good vid mate!

I noticed you have grown a tail, is this because you have been called the Silver Fox for so long?

[seanmulhall]

Thats my tinder bag. Its the first fox road kill I ever picked up. This bag is made the same as the ones in my video. THis bag is only salt dried and then worked to be soft.

[kobudo4]

Looks cool, it could be your trade mark . I know it's not related but can you tell me your preferred method for storing firewood for a return visit to camp, as nearly every method I've used so far has not worked. Pine forest.

cheers

[Bloodynavallint]

i think i will do that

good video

[kaziklu79]

Great! I want to put one in my sitting room :)

[kaziklu79]

Oops, i meant living room, sorry but was thinking about sitting in this chair ;)

[jwilson004athotmail]
