Nice set up Craig. I have just sewn the fabric for a chair myself but haven't deployed it yet. Some good tips that I can use next week. ATB and have a good weekend. Cheers Sel

Hi Craig, Nicely done! I am envious that you have such a great site for bushcrafting! Anywhere within 4 hours of where I live here in California I would probably be arrested for doing something like that! Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your videos! Keep up the great work!

Nicely done Craig. Next the dining table.

5 staves & a bunch of lasing ropes got turned into a chair many years ago (was a demo for my scout troop) ... was UGLY as sin but rather comfortable when you actually braved sitting in it ;-)

Great video Craig. I'm sure you'll read of a few different ways to make a chair. What follows is my version; we make the tripod the same way (the uprights are approximately one third longer than how tall you are) where we differ is how to attach the cloth. In an effort to make the chair adjustable one end has a larks head while the other we do the same. The single line is strong enough to hold me up and no matter the height of the apex I adjust the line length according to taste. Thank you for posting this video keep up the good work.

Interesting and different , Always good to learn some thing new..

Good morning Craig With my tripods I always take and point the bottoms just to give them a little more bite Just a suggestion thanks for your time

Nice one Craig.

Pine cones .. I break down the pine cones less smoke and start faster , but once it gets going i will add whole pine cones ,Great vid

Hi Craig! Good to see you succeed this time. And thank you for the great tips to setup the chair. Could you please tell me the measurements of the fabric, because my wife wants to make one? Have a nice weekend! ATB André

Craig, I understand your shortening the tripod to bring the chair nearer the ground, but would it not have been easier simply to lower the hang of the fabric? Readjusting cord and knots is much less hassle than sawing. Am I missing something obvious? Good to see you actually lashing your tripod together - lots of videos out there where people simply wind cord around the top of the poles and then splay them out.

Hi Craig Forgive my ignorance as I have never made one but what would happen if you didn't lash the cross member and let it ride up naturally? Ooer suits you sir.

I used to just use cordage of whatever kind as the crossbeam when I did this. That way, I could raise/lower as needed, and even got a little more of the "hammock" feel to it. And, it was a bit easier, which is good owing to my laziness and such. ;-) Also, you didn't really show it, but I'm assuming, from what appears to be a warmed hot chocolate, the pine cones burned better this time?

Winner winner chicken dinner

That's proper bushcraft. Make a mistake, think about it, analyse where you went wrong and try again. So much better than being disheartened and giving up. We all make mistakes, it's whether we learn from them that matters

Craig would it work the same lashing a full hammock to a tree then folding in half and in the middle putting the wood and two catapult shape stakes in the ground to rest the wood on?

Hello, I am watching from the west Coast of Canada. we have a guy in Canada who makes and sells a pre made amazing wilderness camp chair, the fabric is very much like what you are using. However, I have found that it feels a little tight and small for me, I happen to own a PPSL Poncho, I bring it with me always it provides shelter, in the form of a ponch, a tarp, the ends are channeled much like your piece of fabric. I can make a hammock,or chair with this poncho .I find it to be very comfortable and more fabric makes for a deeper feeling chair. you can check out wilderness innovations youtube channel for the poncho, or EconoChallenge on youtube for the amazing wilderness camp chair. I like the poncho it is multi use and already in my kit.

Fantastic video great chair I make ok exactly the same ideal for around camp. Check out my channel for a chair I made recently using the same concept with a few tweaks. Thanks for sharing as always great content for you. 👍👍
