The Chair

[NavyFishin]

So I have a little Chappell 2000 that I just got for this year. It is about as uncomfortable as it gets with the lack of space. Sitting on the 5 gallon buckets (even with a cushion) with no backrests is killing me. I see the Clam Ice chair, Keeper Deluxe, and other models of ice chairs that come with a back rest. I am looking for any info on these options or ideas others may have. Thanks in advance! Your info will save my back and my patience!

I used a small folding camping chair and it worked great. $15 at Cabelas or Gander. HT makes a chair for like $10 thats nice but small. I also used a small canvas bag chair and it was comfy. I recomend ya hit Cabelas or Gander and try out some different chairs and see what fits you leg length and rear width the best. Seriously.

I had some cheaper folding chairs that the arms would break when you pushed off to get up from time to time. Last fall I picked up a folding chair from Fleet Farm, the legs go straight down from the arms. On the right side is a little table that folds out and on the left are some pouches for storage. Best off all the chair was on sale for $20.00

I have used the clam ice chair, and it does make a big difference with the backrest. Plus you have storage and can carry it on you back. The keeper chair to me looks a bit bulky. The clam chair is nice but if you don't want to spend 80 bucks i would go with the above suggestions.

I have the keeper deluxe it is small with a small backrest. It works for me and you can also just take your gear put it in the chair throw it over your shoulder, hand carry the auger and away you when you dont need the shack.
