[@danschram4052]

The assembly instructions are much simpler than an IKEA chair and just as comfortable. Thanks Dan.

[@morganlarsson306]

IKEA is da shit! 😂

[@copcuffs9973]

Paracord is as comfortable as IKEA? I guess I'm not missing out on anything. ✌️

Grown man, still a kid at heart giggling at the word *_"nipple"_* Loving it. :D

[@jimmeyers8960]

Tools in the toolbox for sure. You could add a back made from a few sticks, cover with the blanket, and instead of wrapping around your feet, throw the loops around a couple of stakes set in front of you. Length isn't really important then, because you can scoot rearward until the back pad is at the angle you want. This is cool.

[@Jonsoh811]

Being 200 pound, wouldn’t that pull out the stakes? Atleast with the soft soil here… Als the rope or webbing would probably slide down… I think. Although I really want this to work.

[@jimmeyers8960]

@@Jonsoh811 Naaa. Angle the stakes away from you, can't see 'em pulling out. If the soil is that soft, there are multiple techniques for that. Even sand, if you want this to work bad enough (bury a large diameter stick in the sand to make a 'T' shape with the paracord). As for sliding down, I'm thinking make a square frame out of sticks and bank line. Assume four sticks to make a picture frame. I'd attach the paracord to the frame at the top, not just wrap it around as in the video. Fill in the frame with loose sticks, or tie them loosely to the frame. Cover with blanket, if desired. This would also have the advantage that the stakes could be angled somewhat away from the back to allow more freedom of movement. I know this is more effort than Dan's, but not that much. Two stakes (which you may already have) and a quick lashed frame filled in with loose sticks. I can think of all kinds of variations on this, but it's probably a lot faster than the traditional bushcraft camp chair.

Let's push it a bit again and make a backrest! A native american backrest that is foldable with Salix sp. branches ! :D

[@SebastianSynn18252]

Just tried this with mule tape and it's really comfortable. Especially for someone like me with a bad back that can't just sit on the ground without some sort of support. Thanks for the fun idea!

[@PalletFortress]

We're going to keep a few in the car so we'll always have a chair. Can't wait to get our books next month!

[@robertdavis5569]

Been watching you for about year and am really getting into bushcraft. Plan to do a lot of primitive camping this summer. Everything I've learned watching you

[@PaulSchortemeyer]

Just made this...and it's cool! Love the simplicity 🙂. My daughter suggested using a 1" strap for comfort on the back - and boy did that help a ton! Also, I'm not as broad shouldered as Dan. I found using my belly button as a reference point for doubling back much more comfortable. Overall a real hit 👍

[@jamescrowe7892]

Genius in simplicity.

[@Flowxp]

speachless as always

[@nvskorpio]

Looking like a great idea for sitting inside your tent too - bravo dude

[@harrymingelickr883]

Coal cracker you Crack Me Up 😁 Good Show, Nicely Done. Thank You.

[@evanf1443]

Honestly that’s pretty great. I can’t believe I never thought of this.

[@markdaddario1941]

Love your info and experience! Humor too. I also appreciate your getting to the point. So many people have videos with a lot of wasted yakety-yak time. Gotta say though.... it's taut, not taunt.

[@joebogart7093]

Really Cool!!! My wife is a thru hiker and we are going to try this out!

[@seanmoore7992]

I am new to your channel and I just recently started using paracord learning how to do knots and everything can't wait for your book Bushcraft Kid to come out 👍👍👍👍👍

[@artzreal]

bugging out with someone like Dan would make SHTF a fun event

[@ТУРИСТ-АВАНТЮРИСТ]

Man, that was cool. Greetings from Belarus!

[@robertgrist7100]

Simple and great. I am so going to make one with webbing and keep it in a jacket pocket 👍

[@henrybowden9907]

It's so ingenious. I wonder why it hasn't been thought of before. I will definitely make one. Thanks for the idea.

[@grandmasstories3418]

Brilliant, simple idea!

[@uswdkb]

So, if you attach your sleeping bag to the backpack, using straps, you can turn them into a chair after you set up camp. Brilliant!

[@TonyTooTuff]

Dan, that was some straight up crafty know-how right there buddy. 🔥🤘

[@cheezdoggerzofficial283]

Thanks. This works great with tubular nylon webbing as well. After seeing this I realized you can adapt this for dropping a deuce. You just put a loop around a tree instead of putting it on your feet.

[@Jonessen]

👌 Very cool. I will try this with a hemp rope

[@jcwoods2311]

Nice Dan! Longer length and a Sheepshank above the knee would make it adjustable.

[@jeremyhicks6367]

Thanks Dan!

[@alexb8338]

Thanks again for going out of your way to give us some of your skills. I'll be making this soon.

[@bogsplash8612]

Like it! Super simple, fun and useful.

[@FoodForThought.]

Very clever idea.

[@PandaGSXR]

Love this! Great fun lesson!

[@Hemp1972]

I always take my little folding chair with me when biking a far distance. But your chair might be my next method of relaxation. 🔆

[@lesdrinkwater490]

Good fun. Thanks Dan

[@rpbushcraft]

that was silly but also fun to watch probably a cool item to make when at camp. Something to surprise your friends with .

[@jeromeknasinski3862]

I love your laugh. Good idea.

[@whelpthereitis3958]

Never short on good ideas or laughs.

[@BushcraftingBogan]

😆 I just made this in a few minutes in my kitchen. Tossed it in my pack. In a few hours I'll be on the trail and ill give it a try this weekend.

[@Bob-lt5hf]

I just guess you strung me along with this video!

[@electrominded8372]

id never do this but that was really fun looking at it and how well it works or not haha

[@kennethcarter5720]

Going to try this with some scrap seat belts 👍

[@poplarridge9719]

This will work great with my German sleeping mat. I van configure that with a back and seat. Saves having to look for a tree to lean against.

[@shadowteej]

Lol 😂that’s some funny stuff. I’ll probably end up using this technique someday though.

[@xionix4]

Quick note about ropes and nerve damage: you have a nerve running along the outside of your upper arm in that little divot made by your muscles, so try to keep from cutting that off, as it can cause long-term (potentially permanent) damage. If you feel tingling, numbness, cold, or pain in your arm, be sure to adjust the cordage away from that divot or take it off. Uhhh don't ask why I know this... ^.^;

[@jeanetteswalberg6166]

Yay for Utah! ❤️ I love this idea. Pretty sure we did this as kids with jump ropes.... unintentionally...👀

[@perfectweather]

Great video, thanks 👍

[@HeyCurtis]

It may seem silly but this is the kind of stuff that gets my kids into camping and bushcraft. Thanks, Dan!

Take a piece of pipe wrap and slide cord through it to make it more comfortable. Then wrap cord around pipe wrap and back in backpack.

Now, this is fan 😃

Interesting

[@danieljones2183]

Cool

[@dkbibi]

Dude, I wish I knew this early in the army where you sometimes don't have the luxury of a chair in months!

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

Gonna try making cable from twist withy branches to craft this one

[@ellendolbin3707]

Great idea. Now go to Heislers for an ice cream reward.

[@morganlarsson306]

cool idea, it has to be tried, but I would still like to see the uncut version when you get the blanket behind the cord 😂 considering using adjustable knots. One chair for all.

[@blackwillowbushcraft5632]

Awesome idea! I bet mule tape would work well. Awesome bro 💪👍

[@wtfwhereami]

Yup I'm making one of those out of some webbing. That's going to be wonderful on my next hunt.

[@johnwyman5939]

Hey that's a dam good idea. No need too pack a chair. Another tool for my tool box. Thanks. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

[@lesliepaulkovacs6442]

Mule tape might be a little more comfortable. Have to give it a try.

[@garryrice1954]

Cool idea. Ever used this for turkey hunting?

[@glennfyfe1357]

One of those float tubes might work.

[@Flashahol]

I kept old chair backs, art deco style, about 4-5 in high and they have a really nice curve to them. I had the idea of stringing 3 of them, tie to a tree and stretch the whole thing with your feet and you have a half-suspended long chair. I bought a hammock and dropped that idea but... using this design and only 1 of the chair backs it can work anywhere, much more portable and no tree!

[@jackvoss5841]

Thanks, Dan. Heckuva slick idea! Maybe 2 pieces of cord, with a bandana tied in between to cushion your back? Now, I’m working on how to add a cup holder into one of the side cords. A holder about the size of a frosty beer can would be nice, I would think? sigh Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

[@jakeluginbuhl9960]

new blanket pattern?!? I may have to upgrade!!

I thought you were going to make a 3 stick tripod stool. Used to do it with twine at boy scout camp.
