I am looking for a portable chair for a single person pop-up blind (I mean, or two-person, but portable is the key).
I've been using a tripod stool, that sucks for my back to sit for more than about 45 minutes. I switched to using just a plain old Walmart camp chair, which actually worked pretty well. However, it sucks to carry (no carry bag, so I improvised with a couple of straps, one to hold it closed, one to attach it to throw over my shoulder). Something that swivels would be nice, maybe a tiny bit lower, but it isn't a bad height. Lighter would be really nice too.
Most of the ones I see poking on Cabela's website are sized for permanent blinds and mostly bigger guys. I am not small, I am 6'1" and 190lbs, but I am seeing weight capacities of 300 and 400lbs on most of them and that is just massively overbuilt for me. Especially when I am hoping for something as light as possible that isn't going to fold like a cheap suit.
Swiveling would be nice, but I don't think critical.
I'd prefer cheap (wouldn't we all prefer free?), but I don't mind spending some on it if it can really check all the boxes of light (I have it in my mind something in the 5-7lb range), sturdy enough for my size, not too tall, but not sitting on the ground/sized for a midget, and swiveling.
This caught my eye, but it seems maybe too low to comfortably sit in a blind and see out. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/BlackOut-Turkey-Lounger-Folding-Hunting-Chair Doesn't swivel either, but not necessarily the end of the world, though being so long seems like it would make it hard to switch up which "window" I am aiming out of with the lack of swivel.
I am using a walmart version of this now https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/pursuit-camo-collapsible-hunting-armchair?rrec=true though sounds like it includes a carry bag/velcro strap to keep it closed. Which is sure more convenient for carrying than what I am using, but not better in any other way.
This one seems like it has it all (well, arm rests would be nice, but now I am looking for the brass ring) https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/millennium-treestands-blind-chair but that price is...ouch. I don't think I hunt from a ground blind often enough to be worth forking over that much $$$.
Any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
