    If you have a hammock, you can use the same frame with the hammock rather than buying the camp chair. Just fold your hammock in half Over the piece of wood. Then hang both loops over the top of the Tri pod Good channel. Always interesting. Lots of useful information.

    if you have free time, make a website, do some journal entries with some diagrams, maybe advertise in some online places, etc. that and just stick with KZread.. or you can livestream on Twitch some survival stuff, it's really big and gets lots of attention. With your knowledge of how-to, you'd be surprised how popular you'd get.

    Outstanding! Pure gold. When backpacking for days, having a comfortable camp (and chair) can actually make the difference between enjoyment and toil, survival and disaster. You must be able to rest when not laboring. I have been applying the knowledge you're sharing and WOW, the techniques and knots really work! Thanks again, Cpl., and please keep 'em coming.

    Great video Corporal! Kudos to "The Hidden Woodsman" for this "outstanding" product. The design and usage got me to "imagining" that by doubling (or so) the length of the "Camp Chair" fabric and sewing a few side-mounting tubes, the piece could be multi-tasked and could also be configured as a cot, a litter or a travois. I admire your talent, your dedication and your very fine tutorials. Press On!

    Great vid. Love this idea. I’m going to make one of these for sure. A buddy of mine and I were in the woods last weekend and made a bench to sit on. This would have been much easier and probably more comfortable. I could see modifying this just slightly using a prusik knot on the “ridge pole” so you could tie the top of the chair through it and then you could adjust the back up and down to lay back some if you wanted. The “camp lay-z-boy” of sorts. Might require a longer pole or taller “struts” to get it just right, but that would all be fine. I could see you being able to turn it into a combo plow point shelter and a chair almost like you did with your recent vid where you made a cooking fire where your seat might go. Lots of possibilities. Keep up the great videos!

    Corporal Kelly, I've been a sub for a year or so. Thanks for the high-quality channel. This vid seems a bit different from most of your others. You are reviewing an item that really has only ONE use! I think this is the first time I have seen you veer away from that philosophy. Most of us understand that we carry things that have multiple uses so that our packs are lighter. While I am sure that this is great product, an extra 4'x8' tarp would not be much heavier, but would give you the added advantage of having a substantial tarp to cover up wood, wall in the front or side of a shelter on a rough night, quickly convert to a stretcher... I have watched nearly all of your videos and your philosophy mirrors my own and I hate that my first communication with you is negative, but I don't post much and this one just seemed off to me. Thank you for all you do in this world of ours. I currently serve in the Royal Canadian Air Force, and previously in the Royal Canadian infantry, jointly tasked with Marine units overseas and, as a reservist, with your National Guard on domestic training and operations. My reserve unit is actually a sister unit to the USMC and the Light Foot Regiment in London, England.

    Great piece of gear! I made some of these a couple years back out of a single yard of hammock fabric. It's much lighter, and probably less durable then yours, but it is very comfy. I made a couple of short whoopie slings and use one at the top (vs. your mule tape loop) when I'm using it in chair mode, that way it is adjustable for length and recline/sag. I use two whoopie slings when I use it as an under-hammock gear shelf to keep my pack and other stuff off the ground, but still in reach when I'm in my hammock. In the stuff sack I also made for it, everything is smaller than a soda can, and weighs just under 3 ounces.

    A square lashing is recommended in lieu of a diagonal lashing, the purpose for which is to close the gap where two poles cross but don't touch. The advantage with the square lashing is there's more surface area between the cordage and the poles, and hence a more secure hold.
