    Hybrid hammock / chair

    Does anyone make a hybrid hammock and chair?

    I'm specifically looking for something that is ultralight.

    When I'm cooking or around the campfire it would be cool to have a chair.

    I don't want to use my hammock because I use it in grizzly and black bear country and I would prefer it to not smell of food.

    I'm also an ultralight hiker so packing another hammock seems silly.

    Something whereby I could use the straps from my main hammock along with a basic chair frame made out of silnylon or other material would solve my problem.

    I think it could also be fairly lightweight as well.

    Do any vendors make anything along these lines?

    There was the Jerry chair that isn't a hammock but a great UL sitting device that uses hiking poles. AHE (arrowhead equipment) made/makes a hammock chair that you strung between 2 close trees.

    Let us know if you find something you like!

    About a twenty minute chore to build a tripod but super light-weight. can also be hung like a hammock from two trees.

    Well I'm not sure I'm down for adding chores ...

    But I didn't think of using it to suspend gear above the ground. The weight of the silnylon for the chair could be counted as dual use since when you're sleeping you could use it to keep your gear outside of your hammock.

    My Warbonnet has a shelf and I also pack in a stuff sack... perhaps I could build something dual use and shave some weight.

    Yup Otter's creation is the only hammock/ hammock seat I've seen. But I think it's jst a hammock folded in half for the seat. I modified my hammock seat like those hunting ones with the ple, I like it better, but use a branch to make it worth bringng.
