If you have a hammock, you can use the same frame with the hammock rather than buying the camp chair. Just fold your hammock in half Over the piece of wood. Then hang both loops over the top of the Tri pod Good channel. Always interesting. Lots of useful information.
if you have free time, make a website, do some journal entries with some diagrams, maybe advertise in some online places, etc. that and just stick with TH-cam.. or you can livestream on Twitch some survival stuff, it's really big and gets lots of attention. With your knowledge of how-to, you'd be surprised how popular you'd get.
Best part is its made in the USA, but I know what you meant. Thank you for your service to the citizens of this awesome country and thank you for the great information.
My brother made a chair like this years ago, and he loves it. I purchased the hidden woodsman chair, and plan on building my first one tomorrow. Thanks for the tutorial, I definitely needed it … 👍🏻
I picked up a poly net hammock designed for hanging kit, but I’m going to repurpose it for a bushcraft chair and my woodsman’s bed. Loving your channel. Binge watching while the thunderstorms roll through. Take care. And thanks.
Outstanding! Pure gold. When backpacking for days, having a comfortable camp (and chair) can actually make the difference between enjoyment and toil, survival and disaster. You must be able to rest when not laboring. I have been applying the knowledge you're sharing and WOW, the techniques and knots really work! Thanks again, Cpl., and please keep 'em coming.
Great video Corporal! Kudos to "The Hidden Woodsman" for this "outstanding" product. The design and usage got me to "imagining" that by doubling (or so) the length of the "Camp Chair" fabric and sewing a few side-mounting tubes, the piece could be multi-tasked and could also be configured as a cot, a litter or a travois. I admire your talent, your dedication and your very fine tutorials. Press On!
I am going to try to do this. I ordered the fabric. I have the bank line. Now I just have to find a wooded area where I can harvest 4 perfectly straight poles that are 2" in diameter and all of sufficient length that I can cut to 6' and 5'. Whew, I am getting excited!
Simple and comfortable, brilliant! You have a nack for teaching others. I would have follewed you in any mission of a conflict, sir. From one soldier to another - semper fi.
I have a piece of red nylon already sewn like this. I took it off a broken aluminum folding chair. I was only interested in the scrap aluminum. I didn't toss the fabric (yet). I'm tempted to try this, if only because I already have the seat. Totally doable.
I’ve been watching for a good while. I had a feather stick fire in a downpour and enjoyed fresh trout under the tarp, which took minutes to set up including stakes made in the field. Couldn’t have done that without you. I’m very grateful for the skills you’ve helped me acquire.
Great vid. Love this idea. I’m going to make one of these for sure. A buddy of mine and I were in the woods last weekend and made a bench to sit on. This would have been much easier and probably more comfortable. I could see modifying this just slightly using a prusik knot on the “ridge pole” so you could tie the top of the chair through it and then you could adjust the back up and down to lay back some if you wanted. The “camp lay-z-boy” of sorts. Might require a longer pole or taller “struts” to get it just right, but that would all be fine. I could see you being able to turn it into a combo plow point shelter and a chair almost like you did with your recent vid where you made a cooking fire where your seat might go. Lots of possibilities. Keep up the great videos!
Corporal Kelly, I've been a sub for a year or so. Thanks for the high-quality channel. This vid seems a bit different from most of your others. You are reviewing an item that really has only ONE use! I think this is the first time I have seen you veer away from that philosophy. Most of us understand that we carry things that have multiple uses so that our packs are lighter. While I am sure that this is great product, an extra 4'x8' tarp would not be much heavier, but would give you the added advantage of having a substantial tarp to cover up wood, wall in the front or side of a shelter on a rough night, quickly convert to a stretcher... I have watched nearly all of your videos and your philosophy mirrors my own and I hate that my first communication with you is negative, but I don't post much and this one just seemed off to me. Thank you for all you do in this world of ours. I currently serve in the Royal Canadian Air Force, and previously in the Royal Canadian infantry, jointly tasked with Marine units overseas and, as a reservist, with your National Guard on domestic training and operations. My reserve unit is actually a sister unit to the USMC and the Light Foot Regiment in London, England.
This item can be a chair, a table, a mini hammock, a ground cloth, knee pad, sling for a broken arm etc. I only showed the man use because it was sent to me as a gift. Always think outside of the box. Thanks for the support and for continuing to watch.
Great piece of gear! I made some of these a couple years back out of a single yard of hammock fabric. It's much lighter, and probably less durable then yours, but it is very comfy. I made a couple of short whoopie slings and use one at the top (vs. your mule tape loop) when I'm using it in chair mode, that way it is adjustable for length and recline/sag. I use two whoopie slings when I use it as an under-hammock gear shelf to keep my pack and other stuff off the ground, but still in reach when I'm in my hammock. In the stuff sack I also made for it, everything is smaller than a soda can, and weighs just under 3 ounces.
I use military issue laundry bags myself. Just cut a small slit on each side on the bottom and hem it. Rope on top cinches it shut and allows me to tie it to the tripod.
A square lashing is recommended in lieu of a diagonal lashing, the purpose for which is to close the gap where two poles cross but don't touch. The advantage with the square lashing is there's more surface area between the cordage and the poles, and hence a more secure hold.
Totally bought one too. I got a cool canvas stool from Graybearded green beret too. Now I just need the canvas cot that works with similar concept and my life will be complete
Excellent video! I like the structure of your videos. They have similar methodologies for dissemination of the material. Also, they build on your other videos. I saw the same knots, and techniques! I like this reinforcement of foundational knowledge. Awesome. Standing and saluting!
I've watched a lot of various camp videos, and I still think this tripod chair is the way to go: off the ground, a place to sit, eat, work and if you have something to put your feet and legs on, a great way to sleep. Thanks for showing your version.
Your show is my favorite because you get to the point, and give clear instructions about relevant subjects (especially good demos and applications re knots, which can be key. ) Thanks, again.
I've been a subscriber for a few years now, I watch these videos enough your voice has replaced Morgan freeman's voice for internal monologs, it's very awesome to find these "unseen by me" videos still, just like a fat gold nugget in the TH-cam gravel
...and another great video. And your lashings are a fantastic example of how a lashing should be done, should look, and should hold. And yet another reason for Household 6 to grit her teeth when a mystery package arrives from The Hidden Woodsman...
Excellent video, crystal clear instruction & the camera set ups seemed particularly well thought out. Haven't watched your videos for a while ... You're getting Good! ... KUDOs.

Good channel. Always interesting. Lots of useful information.
underrated channel. so simple and straightforward guides.
Agreed, and I don't know what to do to fix that, however thanks for watching

Step by Step instruction never fails. Mil Instruction at its best. TYFYS.
Best part is its made in the USA, but I know what you meant. Thank you for your service to the citizens of this awesome country and thank you for the great information.
This is such a decent, intelligent channel. Much appreciated. Semper Fi
I've said it before and I'll say it again : your instruction is second to none.
Outstanding.
I really like Bush craft projects like this.
Great Video, simple and to the point, no fluff!!!!!
Excellent teaching and visual demonstration

Dude, the music choice on this video is crackin' me up! great stuff, Thank you sir
Bank line!!! Thank you! I kept calling it marine line and nobody ever had it🤣 Great chair too😊🙌
Good job Corporal. Your lashing are picture perfect. Super neat, a work of art. I know that comes from your training. Thank you for your service.
I wish I had you along the first time I tried to make a chair like that. My boys are still laughing at me. Thanks for sharing
Love This! Gotta do itI I'm thinkin' the chair, some russet potatoes with bacon and a cold beer. Thank for your (continuing) service!
Doing my best to keep you on here. Love your videos.
Great video Corporal! Kudos to "The Hidden Woodsman" for this "outstanding" product.

I've been watching you for a while and I can say that you are a great teacher your correct and squared away Af
Top notch lightweight setup! And a good way to reduce the physical stresses of outdoor activity!
I'm not saying the video was bad, but i like your video's without music. Love your videos!
Dude, you make the best instructional videos. Thanks for the tip about paracord stretching.
Hell yea I gotta make me one of these. No more furniture stores for me. Cheers Corporal. Salute.
Nice work. I like the calming music too. Thanks
Beautiful chair and nice meditative music. Well worth watching. 👍👍👍👍👍 😀
I have learned how to tie so many knots from you, this is great never had the opportunity to learn knots as a kid.
Watching all your videos.
Camp chair was the first thing I learned to sew. Super relaxing after hiking. Slack the top and snooze. Thanks for the smoothing it tips.
I am going to try to do this. I ordered the fabric. I have the bank line. Now I just have to find a wooded area where I can harvest 4 perfectly straight poles that are 2" in diameter and all of sufficient length that I can cut to 6' and 5'. Whew, I am getting excited!
Simple and comfortable, brilliant! You have a nack for teaching others. I would have follewed you in any mission of a conflict, sir. From one soldier to another - semper fi.
First time seeing this video. Well done sir 👍
Love your vids, brother! Best knot instructor on TH-cam! Thank you for your service!
I like your choice of background music for this one.
Thank You this. It solves the Bush~Seat "problem". Beautifully Simple .
Great job! Looks very comfy. Just like that!
I have a piece of red nylon already sewn like this. I took it off a broken aluminum folding chair. I was only interested in the scrap aluminum. I didn't toss the fabric (yet). I'm tempted to try this, if only because I already have the seat. Totally doable.
You are one of the best instructors out there. I always learn so much watching your videos.
No blah blah, functional good information done well, thanks buddy.
Nicely explained. Here in the UK we make the seat as a draw string bag. Handy for carrying out a wet tent or tarp. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate your attention to detail, so helpful when I am trying to learn. We need a 24 hour outdoor channel and you should be on it.
TH-cam is 24 hours
I’ve been watching for a good while. I had a feather stick fire in a downpour and enjoyed fresh trout under the tarp, which took minutes to set up including stakes made in the field. Couldn’t have done that without you. I’m very grateful for the skills you’ve helped me acquire.
Sweet, Thanks for watching
I have seen several videos like this but I like your chair best. Thanks for the video.
Thanks but unfortunately I will not get the views like the other channels, thanks for watching
Make sure you separate two of the poles so your shoulders fit between them for the most comfortable position.
Thank you for all the ideas
Once again you are the man!! No nonsense, just do it! Absolutely love your channel!!
Awesome video! Glad to see a video on The Hidden Woodsmen Bushcraft chair! Only found one other one. Awesome piece of gear!!

Oh, wow, neat chair. I love it! When we go camping I'll make one for hubbs Harry. Thanks for teaching this chair!
Wow, good bushcraft knowledge in the lashes. Well done, sir! Thanks for posting this video!

Bought one works great, Thanks Corporal
It’s a great gadget to have for a base camp type of setting - I like it!
Nice chair! I liked the background music as well
Thank you very much I will definitely do the same👍🔥🤗🤠
Funny thing, when we climbed Mt. MoFo I don't remember any of the DI's being worried about 'smoothing it.' :)

Thank you for your channel, keep up the good work..👍😊
Simple and useful. Thanks. 👍
In lockdown next to the woods and I've got a sewing machine...
Love it...thanks for the idea!!
Mine is on the way! Thanks for another great video.
Thank you! I like this idea for camping
your knowledge is outstanding... thanks for the video
Never saw this before, this is great,....definitely gonna do this
Looks comfortable!
9:16 "This is outstanding!" Looks like your out sitting to me!
Well Cpl you sold one. The hammock seat got me.
Totally bought one too. I got a cool canvas stool from Graybearded green beret too.
Now I just need the canvas cot that works with similar concept and my life will be complete
Very nice, your instructions are great.
Fantastic video.
Genius. If u have a hammock or a big blanket maybe it works if you fold it around the supportlog, and back uptop ? Worth a shot.
Just ordered this chair. Looking forward to getting out soon here in the PNW
Another awesome video, 👍🏻🤜
Great instructional video! Outstanding!
Very good. Great presentation Thank you
You have the coolest looking sticks in that area.
I f'ing ❤️ that chair setup. Joe Robinette also uses your design. Really cool and practical.
Excellent video! I like the structure of your videos. They have similar methodologies for dissemination of the material. Also, they build on your other videos. I saw the same knots, and techniques! I like this reinforcement of foundational knowledge. Awesome. Standing and saluting!
So nice. i am lovin it,thanks
I've watched a lot of various camp videos, and I still think this tripod chair is the way to go: off the ground, a place to sit, eat, work and if you have something to put your feet and legs on, a great way to sleep. Thanks for showing your version.
That’s the problem. Most “camp” videos pass themselves off as Bushcraft channels when in reality they don’t have a clue. Thanks for watching.
Your show is my favorite because you get to the point, and give clear instructions about relevant subjects (especially good demos and applications re knots, which can be key. ) Thanks, again.
Woo Hoo, another great channel! You rock sir!
I've been a subscriber for a few years now, I watch these videos enough your voice has replaced Morgan freeman's voice for internal monologs, it's very awesome to find these "unseen by me" videos still, just like a fat gold nugget in the TH-cam gravel
Cool chair. Semper Fi!
Thank you corporal Kelly good vlog 👍have good night ⛺ C😎😎L
Thank you for the idea
I wish I could download your videos to take with me on trips. They are so well explained and demonstrated. Your videos should be in any survival kit.
Outstanding don't remember watching but came back to the video mabe do a update on it hand's on is always the best
Great video!!!
Corporals corner thank you my name is Richard and they follow you I love everything you teach us and me keep the good work
Beautiful chair and fantastic filming and editing Shawn! raising the bar for sure bro!
awesome chair thanks for the video and the tips
Really great guide sir, thank you very much
...and another great video. And your lashings are a fantastic example of how a lashing should be done, should look, and should hold. And yet another reason for Household 6 to grit her teeth when a mystery package arrives from The Hidden Woodsman...
Excellent video, crystal clear instruction & the camera set ups seemed particularly well thought out. Haven't watched your videos for a while ... You're getting Good! ... KUDOs.
great technique, thank's you, I'll share it to my my scout's unity site...
Thanks for another good video.
That was outstanding
Something to try, A shortish sail makers whipping makes a neat and perfectly symmetrical tripod. Not suitable for everything but handy trick to know.
That is really good. Will rebuilt it. Thanks. Greez from Germany!
