Seat/Chair. What does everyone find to be the best?

Has anyone tried the Alps Outdoors grand slam turkey vest? It has a metal frame with a kickstand back rest. I'd like to know if you can reach back into the bird pouch and pull out an E-call while wearing it? It's a pain having to take off a back pack to get to the call when you have an AR slung across your front and over the back pack straps.
I also like that the seat pad just flips up and secures with magnets.
The Alps is spendy but I have Cabelas points burning a whole in my pocket.

I have one that I have used and bought one for my Son as well. I’m pushing 78 and the seat is way better then the ground and the back support is great. I won’t hunt without it.
 
I mainly night hunt which means I'm standing and shooting off of a tripod. I consider myself blessed, in good health and decent shape (workout) and just sit on the ground.
 
I too call at night, but at 77 standing gets tough on the legs in a short time. Although I can see better standing, I can shoot better off my tripod seated. Here is the chair I've been using about 3 seasons now. Since we ride in on electric bikes, we don't have to carry equipment. This seat weighs a little under 10 lbs., but works well with our method of hunting. I did have to loc-tite the bolt that hold the rotating head.

I think you may very well be correct on the 4 legs. In my case, riding in on the bike I need something that folds more compactly. I like the big feet on the model I have which keeps it from sinking badly on softer dirt, but I agree that 4 legs will be more stable than 3.
 
Yes, I noticed that; the one that dumped me was a cheap one & just had crutch tips on the legs so much more prone to sinking in soft ground. The tripods do fold more compactly.
 
While I love my tripod stools more than once I've been dumped on the ground by one leg sinking into a hidden gopher tunnel or soft sand/dirt. I do prefer the three legged stool without a back for firearms calling mostly as it is lighter and I don't stay on a stand long enough to bother my back. I do like the back on a stool when calling with a bow as it gives me some extra support, with a rifle I have the sticks, a bow is offhand even sitting.

I use one of this lucky duck seats. Light low profile. Nice for the back rest

Do they "flip" backwards if you lean all the way back in it? I've never sat in a Lucky Duck, but Academy has some cheap seats that are that same style and they don't have any back support and if you lean back, you're going feet in the air!
 
whats a seat :) we hunt at night and stand behind the tripod, scanning 360 degrees. there are nights i wish we took seats. at 65 standing for 6 or 7 hours gets kinda hard some times.
 
I use a tripod stool and can’t imagine using anything else. Lightweight, tiny after it folds up, and with that shoulder strap it’s as easy as can be to carry in. After adjusting a few times setting up it does the job and is a nice match with the Jim Shockey trigger stick tripod for me which I can also carry in easily

I prefer the one God gave me if I have elevation. If it's flat and brushy I use a 4 legged stool similar to the 3 legged posted earlier.
