Hunting pack stool and method of use thereof

Abstract

A packable seating apparatus having a single planar surface with a seat attached thereto, wherein the lower portion of the planar surface forms legs which raise the seat portion from the ground. The apparatus has storage compartments formed therein, support for a sleeping bag, and a color change device. The apparatus further utilizes any convenient surface, such as a tree or the like, as an additional support. In an alternate embodiment, the present invention includes a kickstand to allow free-standing support.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates generally to hunting accessories, and more specifically to a hunting pack stool and method of use thereof, wherein the present invention provides a portable and convenient seating apparatus and packable unit adapted to carry an assortment of hunting and camping equipment. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] While harvesting game, hunters must often spend long periods of time in a stationary position, remaining nearly motionless to avoid making noise, so as to not frighten the animals being hunted. As such, hunters often experience discomfort and fatigue remaining standing for long periods of time, and it is desirable that hunters be able to sit comfortably during such periods. Consequently, hunters have often carried various types of seating apparatus into the field for for their comfort and convenience. [0003] For instance, there are backpack devices that provide integral seats, but during use, such devices rest on the ground. Wit...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0014] Accordingly, a feature and advantage of the present invention is its ability to provide a hunter with a comfortable seating surface during periods of immobility.

[0015] Another feature and advantage of the present invention is its ability to be carried as a backpack by a hunter.

[0016] Still another feature and advantage of the present invention is its ability to carry a large quantity and variety of objects typically required by a hunter during the harvesting of game.

[0017] Yet another feature and advantage of the present invention is its incorporation of a kickstand to permit unassisted retention in an upright position.

[0018] Yet still another feature and advantage of the present invention is its ability to provide a warning coloration to identify the hunter to others in the field.

[0019] A further feature and advantage of the present invention is its low material cost and ease of manufacture.

Problems solved by technology

Such devices also are not desirable during cold weather due to the transfer of heat away from the hunter to the colder ground with which the seat is in contact.

It is disadvantageous for a hunter in the field to have to assemble his seating device, thereby causing extensive motion and noise.

Such devices lack a means for attaching a sleeping bag or other such devices carried externally.

The attachment to a support requires motion and noise and is thus disadvantageous when a hunter is endeavoring to avoid frightening game.

Such a device lacks the provision of a comfortable seating surface for a hunter.

All of the above devices fail to provide a comfortable seating surface, providing full support, off the ground, in a packable form that can both be leaned against a vertical surface, or that can stand independently.

They further lack the ability to facilitate quick confinement of a sleeping bag or similar large equipment by the pack and stool combination in combination with additional storage areas, and particularly lack a kickstand support.
