Really nice, that is the same concept of an 1800's naturalist pack chair. I have been thinking along the same lines for several years. Good execution of work!!!
Duuuuuuuude! What a great idea! I love how you are always thinking of new ideas. My friends & I are working on a series of monthly challenges, and July is some type of camp furniture. Originally, I was thinking of using your raised bed idea but this would absolutely blow their minds away. If I can do it, I'll be sure to plug this video as the proof of concept throughout the video. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge and experience.
For an advanced project, you need four more beams and a 16ft pole. Make sure you're using a diamond hitch secured tarp as a pack. Then, secure your chair with the beams and bankline to your canoe. Insert pole and stretch out tarp. Now you're sailing. Thanks for all the videos you've made over the years, Mr Canterbury. Looking forward to many more.
Bruh! I need to attend your classes just to build this. I can do it on my own but damn! Multi-purpace pack frame. Ingenious. The Canterbury Frame. Shootz bruh!
Now this is a video! Out I go to make one. I even have a pad just like that! Very impressive Dave. I'll take creativity over $ any day. Best wishes my friend. Thanks for sharing.
That's one of the more creative projects you've shared with us, Sir, surely the best pack-frame. Very nice project for someone far lighter than you or I as we are the same height and shape. Haha!
Man Dave, I was just telling a friend about how to build your own pack frame( he's not into bushraft),and I said I have to figure out a way to make it a place to sit. But I was using a folding x and fabric at the top .. yours is much better! Great minds think alike! Lol! But seriously, thank you for what you do!
An idea for packing in even more functionality: pre-drill a hole in the dead center of your topmost seat slat to receive a spindle and taper the shaft of the adjacent seat slat to use as your spindle: Now you're carrying your pump drill as part of your pack frame, it's useful as part of your seat when you don't need it, and if you make it the two end slats: easily accessible off the end and easy to lash back when you're done.
lol Dave you just take Bushcraft to the next level solid idea though imagine if you made it out of aluminum tubing and canvas once you got the design kinda nailed down bet that would be a cool project to do in the winter
Will you collaborate with anyone to have this concept camp stool made from wooden dowels or aluminum to sell, or will you teach people how to make this?
It might be a little bit faster using that haywire Klamper wire crimping tool . You can make one of those with a clevis and a bolt that’s been pounded flat with a notch and pin with multiple holes
16:56 the way he trying to sit on the chair! 🤣 i just cant stop laughing !! im 200% sure for a fraction of seconde in his mind he tought ... This sh*t gonna break for sure !!!
Woodsmen skills at its best. Lashing, knot(s) training (skills) once again at its best. Use of these skills can be developed by each woodsman while out in his local area using available resources. Thanks again. This has brought back many memories used in my past adventures in the woods making tables and other needs.
I shot some footage the last night of the basic class last weekend but between the cuss’en and shop talk about the course I figured it would be much to post. I’ll have to do a dedicated overnight with it for video
Great concept and execution. If only the seat was a bit higher from the ground? You looked a bit awkward trying to sit in it and I can tell you if I tried to sit on it one would think a giraffe was trying to ride a tricycle. ;-)
I’ve seen this idea before. I think it should be developed with light metal. Maybe a roycroft A frame concept to try as well? I want to build this but dimensions that will hold my Alice pack 👍🏼 it’s funny how people haven’t used the full potential of pack frames yet. This is the coolest thing since the Alice frame ammo shelf! Haha
A little off subject but a project nevertheless I saw a commercial the other day (I walk crutch) I was wondering could you fabricate one of those in the woods if you broke your ankle in a timely fashion and walk out with a peg leg. Fabricated from wood ,sleeping pad and straps from your kit. That would be cool.
Tried it years ago. Wood was to heavy to be practical. I finaly modified a steel folding chair to act linke a L35 backpack frame. Best of two worlds. Back is well ventilated in sommer and in winter the isolation on the back isn't chrushed by the backpack. I sugest usining a havy fabric to construct something like a foldable beach chair. Safes weight and is more multiuse.
Reminds of other pack frame chairs I've seen but I think the folding aspect may not be as useful as the seat acting as a shelf for your pack. Still very neat idea, keep up the great work!
When I’m wrestling with sticks and twine, I lay it out, slip a rubber band over each joint, place things where I want them, and then mark all 4 sides of each joint. That helps when it comes to notching and/or lashing. I also raise the work up off of the work surface by laying a few other sticks under them. That makes it easier to pass twine under and around the joint. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
Do you have some approximate measurements of the legs, seat and backsupport when in chair mode? I’m trying to design a new style kraxe sauofen, which is similar but I have some dimensioning problems and your design might help me out!
Son of a bitch I was just working on this design. Now you go and make a video. Proves that great minds think alike. Mine is a Roycroft design. Let’s see what you come up with! You the man Dave!
That's cool and all, but it seems like an awful lot of work for a semi comfortable seat. I have made a few tables in my day and find a square running lash to be easiest and most effective for a series of parallel pieces. You start at one end with a clove hitch or square knot in the center of the line. Run both lines over and cross behind, repeat on all pieces, end with a square knot.
what a cool idea. I love how your wheels are always turning. Keep up the great videos dave.
Holy sh&t Dave that is incredible!! Don't let some company steal this product from you! Whooweee, that is cool!!!
Really nice, that is the same concept of an 1800's naturalist pack chair.

Design on the fly, functional result. Even lightweight!
David Canterbury you never cease to amaze 💪💪💪
Very cool project! Thank you Dave!!!
What an awesome idea

Bushcraft ingenuity at a whole norther level
OUTSTANDING!!! A superb idea and very creative. Dave, thanks for the class.
Great concept. Now do it in aluminum tubing and nylon mesh for the seat. Get the weight down and stick a Pathfinder logo on that bad boy. Sold.
Great Project! Thanks for sharing...
love this! I bet you could use heavy canvas to make the seat and back. Would be lighter, id it holds without ripping.
Cool. I'll have to practice my lashing and build one of these. Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it.
Bruh! I need to attend your classes just to build this.
I can do it on my own but damn! Multi-purpace pack frame. Ingenious. The Canterbury Frame. Shootz bruh!
Thanks, Dave. Beautiful project!
I love this concept!
This gave me an idea to make a folding table pack frame. Great video!
Cool project, gnarly!
Great video David 💯
Now this is a video! Out I go to make one. I even have a pad just like that! Very impressive Dave. I'll take creativity over $ any day. Best wishes my friend. Thanks for sharing.
Nice Dave, nice!
Awesome set up
Dude, thats a great idea!
This was a really cool video. I like seeing the way you think and brain storm.
That's one of the more creative projects you've shared with us, Sir, surely the best pack-frame. Very nice project for someone far lighter than you or I as we are the same height and shape. Haha!
Very cool Dave!

Dave, I'd have to say. That is truly an interesting concept. Nice job my man. Nice job indeed.

Awesome awesome awesome!!!
Obrigado valeu David !
Absolutamente incrível! Dave, você é o melhor. 👏👏👏
Thanks Dave! we're all gunna need to know how to do this type of stuff after the dollar collapse which is coming sooner then later
Howdy, Brother! The legend, Big "D" lives on! Drive-on, Cowboy!
Nice bushcraft hack. Thanks.
Nice seat. Very creative.
Great Idea Dave, That's fantastic! Cheers
cool concept. would be neat to see something like this turned into a production model. aluminum or plastic or combination of both.
bloody great video.
And still as creative as ever 🏆 Thank you & Greetings from Norway
That is just amazing. Uh, i'll have to try that sometime. :)
That's cool as hell dude!
Super cool! Great idea for a seat.
Ingenuity and necessity is the best idea for invention
this is so sick!!
lol Dave you just take Bushcraft to the next level solid idea though imagine if you made it out of aluminum tubing and canvas once you got the design kinda nailed down bet that would be a cool project to do in the winter
That's a pretty cool setup Dave!
NEXT LEVEL!!! DAVE ALWAYS DELIVERS!!!
Will you collaborate with anyone to have this concept camp stool made from wooden dowels or aluminum to sell, or will you teach people how to make this?
Love this Video, thank you David Canterbury 🥰
It might be a little bit faster using that haywire Klamper wire crimping tool . You can make one of those with a clevis and a bolt that’s been pounded flat with a notch and pin with multiple holes

There ain’t no doubt I was wondering! Should I ?
Great video.
That's pretty sweet
Fantastic video Dave 👍
That is pretty dang cool
That's a good and a awesome looking set up.
That's a good idea 👍✌️
Outstanding job
Great concept and a proven concept. You could come back to that one and show the rest of what you were thinking, I would like to see it.
Woodsmen skills at its best. Lashing, knot(s) training (skills) once again at its best. Use of these skills can be developed by each woodsman while out in his local area using available resources. Thanks again. This has brought back many memories used in my past adventures in the woods making tables and other needs.
Dude that's awesome

Good Work 👍LG
David, you still gotta post the rest of the footage of your new bedroll. Please and thank you.
I shot some footage the last night of the basic class last weekend but between the cuss’en and shop talk about the course I figured it would be much to post. I’ll have to do a dedicated overnight with it for video
Brilliant!
Lotta ironwood up here in northern MN. I'm making 1 of those.
Great concept and execution. If only the seat was a bit higher from the ground? You looked a bit awkward trying to sit in it and I can tell you if I tried to sit on it one would think a giraffe was trying to ride a tricycle. ;-)
Thanks Dave
great idea
Freaking genius!!
Soo freekin cool man
Hey Dave, I just made a ton of room for more preps by throwing out all my bud light preps. And suggestions as to what should take its place?
Thank You Sir.
My seat would NOT be sticks. It would be a fabric sleeve. Lighter, and more comfortable.

Mmn tried making one myself years ago. It's not quite like that, but it's definitely a better idea than mine.

Favor colocar a legenda David ,para nos brasileiros !
I am already thinking square aluminum tubing and rivets for this sliding-lock folding chair!
Tried it years ago. Wood was to heavy to be practical. I finaly modified a steel folding chair to act linke a L35 backpack frame. Best of two worlds. Back is well ventilated in sommer and in winter the isolation on the back isn't chrushed by the backpack.

👍👍
Genius!!! Do you have a diagram to download? I d love to give that a go!
Ok definitely trying this
Reminds of other pack frame chairs I've seen but I think the folding aspect may not be as useful as the seat acting as a shelf for your pack. Still very neat idea, keep up the great work!
Very clever
Awesome, as always sir.
Wonderfull
Nice.

Could that middle rung be prussik knots on the verticals for tying on the load?
I was going to be upset if we didn't see you try sitting in it. Success or fail. Lol
Sir, please try to use it as a frame with ur stuff, i need the picture. Or maybe i miss that episode please let me know guys 😂 thanks
