I have a suggestion for the hunters who use ground blinds and find it hard to discover the perfect chair. See the link below. You can even use it outside the blind if you paint it. The chair weighs 3 lbs and can be adjusted from 13.5" to 21" height, plus it is usable on uneven terrain.

Your idea of a perfect ground blind chair and mine are way different.
No offense but I couldn't imagine trying to hunt from that thing.

I need something with a back on it.

Thanks Six, but I'll stick to my Cabelas 360. Costs more, it's bulky and heavy, but I can sit all day and have.

I like the cabelas one drycreek shows. I would just as soon use a 5 gallon bucket as the one the op linked.

I think that’s what Pat did on the turk that got away last spring, drycreek!

I made mine out of boat seats. This fall I made one for my Dad, he's 92 and still gun hunts. I covered with wool and I put a heated seat "cover" (for a car). I put a 12 Marine battery next to his blind for it. It keeps your back/core warm.
They are fairly portable, swivel silently and comfy.

LOL. I have the Cabelas 260 chair and I use it ice fishing as well as in my boat in the summer time and will use it in ground blind as well. Only downer is I don't like the round where the seat meets the back. A little too round which my back doesn't like. Other than that - a great chair.

I just bought 2 of these and they are really nice although I have not yet hunted out of them. They swivel 360 silently, have the big feet to keep them from sinking into the ground, back rest, adjustable seat height, adjustable legs for uneven ground so I beleive I will really like them. Will be selling off some of my other chairs including 2 huntsmore and a big Cabela's like in Drycreek's picture as soon as I decide these are the best.

Anyone ever try the Alps chair? Seems similar to the millennium but heavier and less expensive.

I have this one but with the arm rests. It is kind of bulky but it is the most comfortable blind chair I've ever sat in. I can sit in it all day and not get tired or sore.

I am debating arm rests. What are the pros and cons?
From: Grubby

Arm rests are more comfortable for relaxing but more times than not they get in the way. Arm rests seem to snag on legs or clothing when getting out of the chair too.

I use the redneck chair with a gorilla butt pad. Sit all day easy.
