I hike in quite aways from the parking area, so I want a light weight, easy to carry seat. I have settled on a tree sling type seat. It weighs nearly nothing, can be adjusted for height, you use the tree as a back rest, and it is very quiet and the ability to swivel almost 360 degrees. This seat fits in the bottom of my day pack and hardly takes any room. A Bonus with this seat is that it can also be used as a harness for hauling out your deer if lucky.
