well I hear you, BUt I personally found the seat climber, does make things a lot easier when the ground is wet ot??
and its rather light, as light or lighter than any folding chair or stool, and it keeps be higher off the ground and more comfortable too
and it carry's very easy, almost like a sling?
so, it was just a tip I found works a lot better than stools and chairs, maybe I'm gettiong old and need a softer seat than a rock these days too LOL
But have used many big bolders as treestands over the yrs, same can be said with cliffs too, they are natures tree stands some times LOL
and FREE and no carrying at all!!
