I know we all search for the best Way to carry our gear. I have vests, but recently have been trying to get away without one. I have been trying numerous set-ups with seats, packs, Satchels etc. I finally found the best, most comfortable Cushion seat by Thermo-seat. It is lightweight, folds in half, and has a shoulder strap. I have sat on this thing for 5 hours, no problem. I am on the move a lot, so lightweight simplicity is a must. I found 2 Molle pouches that attach to your pant belt. The small one carries my shells, mini light, license, misc chalk, lens cleaner pads etc, and mouth calls. The larger pouch holds 2 pushpins, any Trumpet/Wingbone, a box, or pot call and striker. I only carry 2 push-pins, and a Yelper. Finally, the North Mountain pullover with the chest pocket finishes my set-up. The chest pocket is large, holds anything you might want to add. The only weight on my shoulder is my gun, and lightweight seat cushion. Extremely mobile, lightweight, non-cumbersome and efficient for my type of hunting. Wanted to share this. Be safe, thanks for listening....
Good for you ... the seat looks nice and comfortable for sure ....
Thanks Greg, yes, it is very comfortable. Be well my friend...
Whats that seat weigh?
That seat looks very comfortable. Nice set up. I ditched the vest for my last hunt and it was so nice.
Could you please send me info on that seat please, I still have a dream of getting out of the blind on days my body will allow and that looks like a very nice seat. Thank you.
Very nice setup.

2.2 pounds is the weight of the seat. Easy to carry, you don't know it's there....

I like your set up especially the seat I went vestless couple years ago
How you keep from braking those push pins ?

I have sock-like covers, they work great. Then the pouch I use is pretty padded. Works great.

You bet, be well.
It appears as though you only carry push buttons and a couple of yelpers. That's interesting and unique, have you always only used those calls or have you "honed down" to those?

Mainly am a push-pin guy. I like the yelpers too, but I need practice with them. The push pins have been real good for me the last 4 years. I am a light caller, clucks, very light yelps, feeding purrs. It's led to success on some older Tom's. I also rely on my mouth diaphragm.....be well
I also want to add that most of the calls I hear while hunting are soft, quiet, subtle calls. The push-pins can mimic fantastic clucks, feeding purrs, and very soft yelps. I realize that this is the closest thing to what I hear from real hens. Be safe......
Great setup Tom.

Great setup Tom.
Thanks my friend, took many years to find it, but it looks like it's gonna be my set-up moving forward....
Be safe....

Completely agree, most hens are subtle and light talkers. I have taken only one with a pushpin but I don't carry them much. Nice little arsenal you've chosen!

Tom, you mind shooting me the link to that larger pouch? I am on the same quest as you. Ran an alps sling pack this past season. Wasn't bad but got annoyed with taking it on and off every sit

Will post it here for everyone. Here it is..
I have that same cushion and agree that it is very comfortable, lightweight, and also quiet. Also will add that trophyline came out with a sling style pack that is very minimalist and has tons of pockets. I got it at the end of the season so can't comment on actual field use but think I will like it a lot . I too use push pins a lot and they led to both of my birds this spring . Clucks and soft calling is what I hear in the woods anymore - not loud calling , cutting , etc
