When I was a kid, we'd hike around with an old bread bag, folded up, in our back pocket. Gave you something to sit on when you needed a break and you had something to put the mushrooms in, should you happen upon some. However, that chair is a pretty nice replacement for the old bread bag. I really like that design....may have to make something like that for myself. Thanks for showing us that, Paul. =)
I think you could prob achieve the same thing with a strong fabric and then roll it all up even smaller for transport. Will prob try that for bike touring. Thanks for the idea!
Paul … Another excellent design and video. I love your shelter ideas!!! By the power invested in me by me, I coronate thee the King of Coroplast!!! God bless; be safe!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 🤠🐩🖖✝️🙏☃️👍
Just checked out your channel. Wondering if you'd be interested in collaborating on an idea I'm developing. It's similar to the complexity and size of your wishbone project. paulwelkins at yahoooo dot commm
Paul, you would love working with Kydex but so much more expensive. I bought some as scrap and saved at least $1,000. You do great work, I love your shelters. Thanks.
I like it! Would you ever consider a stand alone coroplast building? Like a 4’x8’ building you, bigger than the homeless shelter? Maybe something you could stand in?
Absolutely love it paul,though for me personally it’s reminiscent of sitting in a camping chair and that sets my back off something awful so would have to add some form of back support.tim
Okay... WOW factor (for someone who HATES camping chairs!) x 200%. Add it to a tiny boat and the concept (IMHO) goes off the scale... BTW, I’m slowly designing a small sailboat lightly based on your awesome tiny wood electric boat (with two or even three short keels to replace the long daggerboard/ keel for shallow water among other things). Have you ever built a tiny sailboat? Could you find a way to include a cabin in something under 9’ or even 7’? I’d really like to see what you could come up with! Heck, such a boat with a shelter on the water might make lake camping a thing for everyone! I love kayaking and flying airplanes, but sometimes a small warm place on the water with a fish on the stove and a warm roof over my head in a cold rainstorm beats a hammock in a gentle tropical breeze, especially when warm tropical breezes are months and miles away!
I've thought of making a boat with a cabin but wonder about the side-wind factor in such a small boat. I might try it some day. Would love to see what you come up with. Like your channel as well, and your brother's dog fight video! Cheers!
@Paul Elkins Thank you and have a good one! I’ll see what I can come with... My state is very allergic to new ideas and certifications but I will give it a shot!
Great DIY! I made this chair using 210d nylon. But the nylon was so slippery that I couldn't use it with some pants. Haha. Isn't that plastic slippery? wonder. Anyway good work!
It would be interesting to make something similar with a tree serving as a support as opposed to the poles. Leaning against a tree on it's own is okay, but unless it has a buttressed base the hard 90 degree angle and round shape makes it uncomfortable after a while. Of course you could just look around and find a suitable tree eventually or just use a hammock, which would render the whole thing useless.
I actually went with a lengthwise section instead of across from some old scrap I had. The 24" long poles are made from halving a 4ft length of 1/2" diameter aluminum tubing purchased at at a home improvement store. The stubs where they join came from some aluminum scrap I had.The stubs were glued to the ends.
Hi Carolle 👋 I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹🌹🌹
Simplicity is the essence of engineering. You captured it there.
An even lighter version of this would be to pull your boxers up wedgie style, and prop it up with two sticks.
LOL!
☺🙃Except I'd have to give up going commando 😮

wooooooooooow! que gran idea, gracias por compartirlo, la voy a replicar
You know, with how ridgid that is, your could build a back pack around your seat and use it as a kind of pack frame. Just an idea for a new project.
Good idea! I might re-work my Coro backpack
😂 I've just started work on a similar concept
The King of Coroplast 'stakes' again
Perfect timing. I was just looking for camping chairs.
Just brilliant as usual

Approaching a micro hammock.

@@redbearrc6706 thanks for that
That's pretty slick Paul! Thanks for the video!
Another great invention
Nifty little idea. Kool for camping etc.

Thanks Chuck! Love Texas! My daughter lives near Arlington.
You sir is the king of fluted plastic 😂😂
Great job 👍
You're so creative
Simplicity at its best! 70% Adirondack, 2% the materials. :)

That is genius!
Clever idea!
Is great! Thanks Paul
Love it mate, recycle all the way and practical, will give it a go as my tripod chair very uncomfortable after a while.
Love it! 😎👍🏻
Luv it grt idea👍
sweet seat!
Paul, you would love working with Kydex but so much more expensive. I bought some as scrap and saved at least $1,000. You do great work, I love your shelters. Thanks.
I know what my project for tomorrow is now...... 4mm PP and some crosslinked PE foam........very nice beach chairs
fun
I like it! Would you ever consider a stand alone coroplast building? Like a 4’x8’ building you, bigger than the homeless shelter? Maybe something you could stand in?
very cool 👍👍😎👍👍
nice DIY it can do easy and using
Soo smart and nice
Absolutely love it paul,though for me personally it’s reminiscent of sitting in a camping chair and that sets my back off something awful so would have to add some form of back support.tim
Nice idea but I think it needs a head rest for sleeping.
Good ☺️
ive always used my backpack for this
Bushcraft tripod chairs are also a.super lightweight option.
Slick
Next on shark tank.
How did you make the metal back supports with the elastic inside? You skipped over that part.

The closed cell foam seat cushion was double taped on and does a great job keeping me from sliding around.

Whered the metal bars appear from?
To bad i cant find any coroplast in this contry though. I hate that !
how long is the stick mate
Nice! DId you end up using the full width of an election board, and where did you get the material for the tension pole?
I actually went with a lengthwise section instead of across from some old scrap I had. The 24" long poles are made from halving a 4ft length of 1/2" diameter aluminum tubing purchased at at a home improvement store. The stubs where they join came from some aluminum scrap I had.The stubs were glued to the ends.
@@paulwelkinsdiy Thanks, the Michelangelo of coroplast!
Coroplast or whatever this material is called is great stuff. But man is it pricey.
If you’re in the USA just go collect political signs the day after an election. The campaign offices will give you the big ones if you ask
@@thebr0wnhornet Very true. I get mine still at a Home Depot store. Some sell the full 4x8ft by 4mm thick sheets for around $25.
What about i can make a little back rest like a recliner like you those recliner chairs in your home or a psychologist's office hmmm.
Did that blue boat end up in your garage.
LOL!
You'd be lost without that, what's it called...corplast? Leftover election billboards. Super fold-up design but needs more padding for the neck/head.
I agree. But the current neck pad is small and does do the job, at least for a short spell.
