What are you guys using in your pop up blinds for chairs?

Im using a 3 legged swiveling stool in one and what i think they call a "directors chair" without armrests in another. The stool gets uncomfortable after a while, but gives me the ability to swivel. The other one is more comfortable but creaks a little so i had to dust it with graphite to quiet it down. still looking for " the best one". -

Snakelover gets all the credit. Here is the info from a thread he had of which I have built and use to this day. Very comfortable with great bow holder that swivels with you.
I don't remember all the pricing. At one time I had a thread that included every component along with the source and price, but that was before the site crash and that thread was lost.
The stool, boat seat and swivel all came from Walmart. If I remember right, the stool was in houseware department and the boat seat and swivel were in sporting goods. I think I have also seen the boat seat and the swivel at Academy. I don't remember the prices, but the stool and swivel were very cheap. I want to say the boat seat was about $25, but I could be wrong on that. There are also cheaper ones without the padding on the seat.
The bow holder came from boss buck. It is an accessory to their treestand, but it will fit any seat/swivel with that standard bolt pattern...
That's a terrible picture of it and they call it a "bowrest," whereas I would consider it a bow holder. (To me a rest is something you shoot off of.) Anyway... twenty bucks.
I just used a Kwikee quiver bracket on the other side because I use a Kwikee quiver and it gives me a place to have my arrows handy.
That's about all I can tell you. Good luck!
Here is info on the Rubbermaid - Large Step Stool to mount swivel, bow holder, and seat to.

I sat on a 5 gallon bucket last year, but have better options this time around. I originally planned to sit on one of those 3 legged stools, but once I got set up, it was too short to shoot out the windows, so I flipped my hand corn bucket over, tossed my pack down on it for a pad and plopped down. It worked on the first hunt and I never did anything different in that blind last year, but I did have a tripod set up nearby.Comment

I'm always trolling garage sales and office areas, looking for office chairs. I never give more than $10 ea, and often they are given to me just to get them out of the way.
Check near dumpsters too. Usually it's just a missing or broken caster (I take them off anyway for a ground blind). I've got a couple now that recline, have lumbar support and the arms are adjustable.
They are not 'pack friendly', but I'm not moving my blind setup very often either. Usually I'll leave it be for at least a season, usually longer.Comment
