Here is my combination hammock chair with the "wilderness hammock frame" and the telescoping aluminum brace from The Hammock Seat (Fanatic Outdoors). I changed the stock seat out for a lightweight version made for me by Jared at Simply Light Designs.
I will mainly be using this for turkey hunting. The advantages to having the telescoping pole brace are that I can make the tripod from wood found on the ground OR just use a tree when available.
My next mission is to figure a lightweight solution to make a tripod base that I can pack in and use inside my pop-up tent blind.
Would I be able to get aluminum poles that are strong enough for this application? Tentpoletechnologies has .742 diameter 7075-T9 tubes with 96,000 psi tensile strength.
I am not too concerned with weight, just ease of setup and comfort.
