Folks,
I admire the tenacity of those willing to sit for long periods on the bare earth and that will certainly keep the weight of your hunting pack down. My time hunting in Oklahoma though brief, did expose me to a wonderful depth of knowledge including the number of pests you might stumble into if you just plop it down. Many of these are innocuous and brushed off as easily as the dirt or leaves, a stool provides a barrier between chiggers, spiders, unseen poison ivy or prickly pear cactus lurking just behind you. If you carry a day pack as many do a small folding stool might weigh as little as 12oz and tucks nicely into against the back.
Think it over.
