ABSTRACT:
A portable, foldable camp or field seat, which may be folded to a size which can fit into a standard rear pocket. A base plate, having a footprint resistant to sinking in loose soil has, pivotally affixed, spaced apart wire frame seat supports which rise at an outward angle to support a cloth seat. The cloth seat is attached around the upper ends of the two foldable wire frame supports, forming the front and rear of the seat. The seat is used like a small saddle, sitting in a fore and aft direction. The weight of the body upon the cloth seat pulls the seat tight against the frame supports and forces the frame supports apart, pivotally around the base plate. This provides uniform support pressure for the seated individual without significant binding, pressure or discomfort from the frame supports. The base plate prevents sinking of the seat into the soil and provides for a low, squat position, particularly useful for hunters and the like. An alternative form of the seat is mounted on a support pole having a pointed tip for securing the pole against slipping in the soil. A ground support plate prevents the seat from sinking into the soil. This version provides a higher seated position where this is desirable.
