Thanks for going to tremendous lengths to tell me how to sit in a chair.
Thanks! I’ve been wanting to make something just like this.
@hoz49 ya
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.
The bottom loops go ‘ right way along”, is that English for “all the way through”?
Great idea, well done
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
A second skin is a good idea. I have found in the cold you really feel the wind around you.
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).
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.
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!
I’ll check out his channel.
Why him in particular?
Very nice Sean! 5/5
Amazing. Truly Amazing! Hey I wonder what WEZO24522164 thinks of this one?

That’s fantastic!! What a great chair!
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!
I had the spelling right the first time Ricola.
sorry Rikola. It’s an herbal cough logenze from Sweden. Works a treat. I thought you had them in the UK too.
