Usually the ground. Hard to use a chair on the side of a mountain.

I tried several of the chairs and "better" seats that came out, but they were always too bulky, aggravating, or cheaply made for me to get much use out of.

I keep going back to my old standard that has worked well for years. 

My wife get's a lot of those canvas bags, or totes or whatever you call em, at the seminars and conferences she goes to.  I just stuff a pillow in one and sew it shut.

Tough, easy to carry, and as comfortable as anything I've tried.

I prefer to just sit on the ground, no chair, no cushion.  Only problem is if the ground is wet.  I bought a piece of camo cordura waterproof cloth and cut a piece 24x24.  If the ground is wet, I pull it out and sit on top of it.  It folds up and fits in a vest pocket.

Gobbler lounger.  I hate packing it around, but after a long sit, it's definitely worth it.

I just use the vest seat, but if i go where I think I may not have a decent tree to lean against, I'll tote the Gobbler lounger.

I use a strut seat.  They aren't the most comfortable, but they are easy to carry and at least get you off the ground.  I can't stand sitting on the ground, especially if it's wet at all.

This seat is really portable, just snaps on your belt. It is the most comfortable seat I've tried as well. Light. It spins too, which is great when your shot is coming from a different direction then anticipated. You can quickly adjust the height to 4 configurations in seconds. Always puzzles me why it isn't more widely used. This fella invented it for Turkey hunting AFTER suffering with a sore behind.

A flat foam pad covered with tiger striped camo. Had it about 20 years. Chairs just don't work very good in WV.

I use a little folding stool. It keeps my rear about 6 inches off the ground. Nice when the ground is wet.

The cushion seat on my Super Elite III is very thick and comfy, so I just sit on that.

If I'm not wearing my vest, I carry a Hunt Comfort Fatboy.  The Fatboy cushion is extremely comfortable.

When I carry a chair it's a Gobbler Lounger, if not a chair the cushion on my vest.  GL is much more comfortable though.

I made a seat cushion 20+ years ago using camo material over a wheel barrow inner tube with sewn on belt loops. At the beginning of each year, I put a little air in it and go all season. This old butt of mine can sit for hours comfortably.

Sounds good if your hemorrhoids are flaring up.  You got a patten on that yet. If not I think your on to something. Call primos.  Next year they'll be promoting the new turkey vest featuring the new donut seat.

I do ALOT of running and gunning and find the HS Strut seat to be the best combo of comfort, ease of use, quick to set up,uncumbersome and lightweight. It's the best I have found for the way I hunt.

I use the seat cushion on the vest but also add a nylon strap and quick snap for a second cushion. Sometimes I'll put both under me or leave the vest cushion up for my back. Have used this set up on my last two vests and it is pretty darn comfortable.

Either my butt or a cushion. Chairs want sit on these hills and cushions can be like riding a sled sometimes so I just have to sit on my butt sometimes and dig my heels in to keep from sliding off.

I use the cushion on my Super Elite III vest.  Keeps me dry, easy to carry, and always available.
