What do you sit on in your HUB shack?

[Sudhorse44]

We just got a Eskimo 9416 and I was wondering what you guys use for chairs in your shacks. What has worked best for you? What hasn't worked for you? Thanks for your help guys!!

Buckets with padded seats work well for me. A hub doesn't have a floor and buckets don't sink as much in the snow, plus you can use them to haul gear and fish.

I usually sit on a five gallon bucket that I have in my sled, same bucket I put minnows in. Another good option that I have used is the tripod chairs. They are small and don't take up a lot of room.

I built a sled for mine. Well just enclosed the sled. that way I have all my gear in with me. I have a QF3 and it is great for two people.

I use a Cabelas directors chair. I need a rest for my back. The foldup camp chairs are too low and when I sit back down after adjusting the flasher or grabbing a fish,they break.

Buckets only work for short trips and only if your back can handle it..

The tripod nut busters don't work for me either.. for obvious reasons..

I've found the director's type chairs work the best for me and my back.. they are lightweight aluminum and fold up easily but can be somewhat bulky at times.

There's no perfect chair in my opinion or else I would have one already.

would there be room for fold up lawn chairs?

The sit-n-fish from frabill. keeping it lite weight is how i roll.

Ameristep folding chairs are great. If you get any other brand, get one with feet that stick out the bottom. The one's with just tubular bent aluminum slide around a lot.

I have the nut buster one and don't really care full it.

I have tried the camping chairs that fold up and slide in a bag. I thought those would be nice, comfortable, have a back rest and a soda holder and bait holder or junk holder on each side. The only bad part is it seems that I sit to far back from my holes.

I'm curious about the director chair ones now.

Fleet Farm had a great looking and comfortable chair in their ice fishing area. Lightweight aluminum frame with blue fabric and a zip pocket under the seat. Seemed to sit up nicely.

I have a present under the tree that looks oddly the same size...

Clam makes a nice folding chair that has a compartment under the seat for bait, lunch, etc. About $20. I find it very comfortable.

I picked up one of the A-Rest Hunting chairs form Sportmensdirect. A bit on the pricey side at ~$45 but after I watched the youtube video on this chair these were the things that I liked.

1. the ability to lean forward with the chair to get things in front of you (fish, adjust vex etc).

2. Was comfortable with a back rest, whenI sit on a bucket my back starts to kill me, like to lean back once and wile.

3. No arms in the way and did I say comfortable, the camping folding chairs always dig into the back of my legs.

4. Folds up and is sturdy

I got the ice camo, was a little cheaper and with my camo otter there is no way people will see me now. Here is a photo of the chair in the mossey oak camo I believe.

Old folding lawn chair for me. the aluminum frame with vinyl strapping kind.

[pathogen]

I took out my Otter seat, not because it was uncomfortable but because it used up too much room. Now I sit in a folding lawn chair and I'm very happy with it. Light, comfortable, and uses a minimum of room. Plus on days when I want to hole-hop and use my house as kind of a 'base camp' or warming station, the chair is easy to take out and use outside.

I use a cheaper version of this one form Cabela's. Small folding chair with a back rest.

Cabelas Chair

Cabelas Chair

Wich one? ... I like the style but a cheaper version would even be better!

[Jmeyers]

Gander Mountains ice folding chair works great for me. Very light, supports your back,and is fairly cheap. No arm rests though if that's what you are looking for.

Thanks for all the input guys, especially the warnings about the nut busters... nobody wants busted nuts!!
