Yeah, I found that a small sit pad keeps me from sliding at all.
I notice that you're in my neck of the woods - we need to set up the camp seat hang on the Pine Mtn Trail

Thanks SN for this great idea. I've got to get some supplies and make one. I wonder if a few small beads of silicone in the seat area would stop the slide.

Finished it up. This was my first time working with SilNylon....man is it slippery. My pad (scrap of blue CCF from WallyWorld) seems to make it slip more. My test silicone on a scrap of silnylon worked very well, I couldn't peel it off. I'm going to try it when I get a chance and keep the placement under where my butt will be so that I don't catch leg hairs. Thanks again, I'll post a pic and some notes on construction that I used when I get a chance.
That is a cool piece of gear. Does anyone sell them?
