Sitting in Portable Stands all day

Does anyone use portable stands when they are sitting all day? I am trying to find one that will be more comfortable that I can sit all day in. The ones I have I can last about 4 hours in but there is no way I would make it all day.

there isnt a really comfortable stand. Ive tried most of them and sold a lot of them and if you can stand sitting with a numb butt then it doesnt matter what stand you buy, they all will work. Your best bet maybe to look at a lonewolf treestand or a ground blind can be a great tool. I bring a comfy camping chair in my ground blind.

I used a climber for the first time this year and loved it. I have the Summit Goliath. Not cheap, but I was mighty comfortable up there. I hunted 4 days. Day 1 I only came down once for 40 minutes to walk around, warm up, and take care of "some business". Day 2 I never got out of my stand. Day 3 I had to come down once to field dress my deer, and then again mid day to drag it out. Day 4 I was back in one of our permanent stands, with sides & a roof, sitting on a bucket, and I hated it.

The biggest problem with the Goliath (or Viper if you're smaller) is that it's so comfortable that I tend to fall asleep a lot up there. Other than that, it's very comfortable, sturdy, easy to pack and easy to climb.

My Summit climber is very comfy also that I can basically stay up all day. The key on any stand is to have a padded seat that hangs. On any solid seat I've sat on I have gotten a sore butt no matter how much padding I added.

I'm with fivebucks, one with a seat that hangs. I get quite comfortable in my climber and can sit for a lomg time which is hard for me. I have a ladder stand with a hanging seat that is also very comfortable but a bit of a pain to put up if your alone.

having a hanging seat is the way to go. I have an API climber, Hang on stand and ladder stand that I can sit in all day. I have other portables with padded seats and it gets hard after 5 hours or so.

the ameristep penthouse blind is the bomb for hunting all day...get any chair/seat in there that you like...do whatever you want in there since the deer can't see you...its big enough to stand and you can shoot right through the windows.

the treelounge is the best climber i've ever seen.

the ol man tree stand with the net hammock seat is one of the best i've sat in.

pass on anything with a wood or metal seat bottom forsure..it don't matter if it had 5 inches of padding you'll still get sore.

You can sit all day in any stand as long as your not sitting there thinking about wanting to get down. bring somthing to occupy your mind. latley ive found that those little hand-held yahtzee games and such make time go by faster in between deer sightings. a dry seat is also key. if you keep your stand in the woods over night, detach the seat and bring it in with you or put a plastic bag over it to keep it dry. nothing worse then sitting on a frosted over or soaking wet seat.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
