Really nice, that is the same concept of an 1800's naturalist pack chair. I have been thinking along the same lines for several years. Good execution of work!!!
Duuuuuuuude! What a great idea! I love how you are always thinking of new ideas. My friends & I are working on a series of monthly challenges, and July is some type of camp furniture. Originally, I was thinking of using your raised bed idea but this would absolutely blow their minds away. If I can do it, I'll be sure to plug this video as the proof of concept throughout the video. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge and experience.
For an advanced project, you need four more beams and a 16ft pole. Make sure you're using a diamond hitch secured tarp as a pack. Then, secure your chair with the beams and bankline to your canoe. Insert pole and stretch out tarp. Now you're sailing. Thanks for all the videos you've made over the years, Mr Canterbury. Looking forward to many more.
lol Dave you just take Bushcraft to the next level solid idea though imagine if you made it out of aluminum tubing and canvas once you got the design kinda nailed down bet that would be a cool project to do in the winter
When I’m wrestling with sticks and twine, I lay it out, slip a rubber band over each joint, place things where I want them, and then mark all 4 sides of each joint. That helps when it comes to notching and/or lashing. I also raise the work up off of the work surface by laying a few other sticks under them. That makes it easier to pass twine under and around the joint. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
Man Dave, I was just telling a friend about how to build your own pack frame( he's not into bushraft),and I said I have to figure out a way to make it a place to sit. But I was using a folding x and fabric at the top .. yours is much better! Great minds think alike! Lol! But seriously, thank you for what you do!
That's one of the more creative projects you've shared with us, Sir, surely the best pack-frame. Very nice project for someone far lighter than you or I as we are the same height and shape. Haha!
Woodsmen skills at its best. Lashing, knot(s) training (skills) once again at its best. Use of these skills can be developed by each woodsman while out in his local area using available resources. Thanks again. This has brought back many memories used in my past adventures in the woods making tables and other needs.
Bruh! I need to attend your classes just to build this. I can do it on my own but damn! Multi-purpace pack frame. Ingenious. The Canterbury Frame. Shootz bruh!
Now this is a video! Out I go to make one. I even have a pad just like that! Very impressive Dave. I'll take creativity over $ any day. Best wishes my friend. Thanks for sharing.
I actually used to have a fishing chair that similar to this! It was a smaller stool chair but if folded like an x and then one on your back very cool Dave! Not like this one same idea tho haha awesome!
Yeah I think I have one or similar that folds from a backpack to a fishing stool with a back rest, but you sit up a lot straighter than the one he built here.
Great work keeping with the idea of multi-use items. Often the bushcraft pack frame only does one job. As well as the chair. Excellent idea of creating something that does both, that doesn't require complete disassembly of either. Would it help to use the pack straps as braces between front and rear legs? Thanks for sharing!!
This is amazing ! Thanks so much - gonna try it when i go canoing in sweden with my son this Summer again. Last time i built the chair with triangles, but this version is outstanding !
16:56 the way he trying to sit on the chair! 🤣 i just cant stop laughing !! im 200% sure for a fraction of seconde in his mind he tought ... This sh*t gonna break for sure !!!
An idea for packing in even more functionality: pre-drill a hole in the dead center of your topmost seat slat to receive a spindle and taper the shaft of the adjacent seat slat to use as your spindle: Now you're carrying your pump drill as part of your pack frame, it's useful as part of your seat when you don't need it, and if you make it the two end slats: easily accessible off the end and easy to lash back when you're done.
I’ve seen this idea before. I think it should be developed with light metal. Maybe a roycroft A frame concept to try as well? I want to build this but dimensions that will hold my Alice pack 👍🏼 it’s funny how people haven’t used the full potential of pack frames yet. This is the coolest thing since the Alice frame ammo shelf! Haha
I shot some footage the last night of the basic class last weekend but between the cuss’en and shop talk about the course I figured it would be much to post. I’ll have to do a dedicated overnight with it for video
Will you collaborate with anyone to have this concept camp stool made from wooden dowels or aluminum to sell, or will you teach people how to make this?
It might be a little bit faster using that haywire Klamper wire crimping tool . You can make one of those with a clevis and a bolt that’s been pounded flat with a notch and pin with multiple holes
A little off subject but a project nevertheless I saw a commercial the other day (I walk crutch) I was wondering could you fabricate one of those in the woods if you broke your ankle in a timely fashion and walk out with a peg leg. Fabricated from wood ,sleeping pad and straps from your kit. That would be cool.
Great concept and execution. If only the seat was a bit higher from the ground? You looked a bit awkward trying to sit in it and I can tell you if I tried to sit on it one would think a giraffe was trying to ride a tricycle. ;-)
Do you have some approximate measurements of the legs, seat and backsupport when in chair mode? I’m trying to design a new style kraxe sauofen, which is similar but I have some dimensioning problems and your design might help me out!
Reminds of other pack frame chairs I've seen but I think the folding aspect may not be as useful as the seat acting as a shelf for your pack. Still very neat idea, keep up the great work!
Tried it years ago. Wood was to heavy to be practical. I finaly modified a steel folding chair to act linke a L35 backpack frame. Best of two worlds. Back is well ventilated in sommer and in winter the isolation on the back isn't chrushed by the backpack. I sugest usining a havy fabric to construct something like a foldable beach chair. Safes weight and is more multiuse.
Holy sh&t Dave that is incredible!! Don't let some company steal this product from you! Whooweee, that is cool!!!
what a cool idea. I love how your wheels are always turning. Keep up the great videos dave.
Really nice, that is the same concept of an 1800's naturalist pack chair.

This gave me an idea to make a folding table pack frame. Great video!
Great video David 💯
Great concept. Now do it in aluminum tubing and nylon mesh for the seat. Get the weight down and stick a Pathfinder logo on that bad boy. Sold.

Great Idea Dave, That's fantastic! Cheers
Dave, I'd have to say. That is truly an interesting concept. Nice job my man. Nice job indeed.
Very cool Dave!
love this! I bet you could use heavy canvas to make the seat and back. Would be lighter, id it holds without ripping.
What an awesome idea
Howdy, Brother! The legend, Big "D" lives on! Drive-on, Cowboy!
Great Project! Thanks for sharing...
Cool. I'll have to practice my lashing and build one of these. Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it.
Man Dave, I was just telling a friend about how to build your own pack frame( he's not into bushraft),and I said I have to figure out a way to make it a place to sit.

Good Work 👍LG
Fantastic video Dave 👍
That's a great idea I like to save scraps of all kinds just for projects like that. Everybody thinks I'm a scrounge 😂
That's a pretty cool setup Dave!
Nice Dave, nice!
Pretty tough man. Well done.
Design on the fly, functional result. Even lightweight!
Now this is a video! Out I go to make one. I even have a pad just like that! Very impressive Dave. I'll take creativity over $ any day. Best wishes my friend. Thanks for sharing.
David Canterbury you never cease to amaze 💪💪💪

Awesome set up

This was a really cool video. I like seeing the way you think and brain storm.
Nice seat. Very creative.
Super cool! Great idea for a seat.
This is amazing !
Thanks so much - gonna try it when i go canoing in sweden with my son this Summer again.
Last time i built the chair with triangles, but this version is outstanding !
I love this concept!
16:56 the way he trying to sit on the chair! 🤣 i just cant stop laughing !! im 200% sure for a fraction of seconde in his mind he tought ... This sh*t gonna break for sure !!!
There ain’t no doubt I was wondering! Should I ?
Dude, thats a great idea!
Absolutamente incrível! Dave, você é o melhor. 👏👏👏
And still as creative as ever 🏆 Thank you & Greetings from Norway

Hey Dave, I just made a ton of room for more preps by throwing out all my bud light preps. And suggestions as to what should take its place?
I’ve seen this idea before. I think it should be developed with light metal. Maybe a roycroft A frame concept to try as well? I want to build this but dimensions that will hold my Alice pack 👍🏼 it’s funny how people haven’t used the full potential of pack frames yet.

Bushcraft ingenuity at a whole norther level
NEXT LEVEL!!! DAVE ALWAYS DELIVERS!!!
Thanks Dave! we're all gunna need to know how to do this type of stuff after the dollar collapse which is coming sooner then later
Great concept and a proven concept. You could come back to that one and show the rest of what you were thinking, I would like to see it.
That's a good and a awesome looking set up.
cool concept. would be neat to see something like this turned into a production model. aluminum or plastic or combination of both.
Outstanding job
Obrigado valeu David !
Awesome awesome awesome!!!
David, you still gotta post the rest of the footage of your new bedroll. Please and thank you.
I shot some footage the last night of the basic class last weekend but between the cuss’en and shop talk about the course I figured it would be much to post. I’ll have to do a dedicated overnight with it for video
That is just amazing. Uh, i'll have to try that sometime. :)
Ingenuity and necessity is the best idea for invention
That's cool as hell dude!
Awesome, as always sir.
Nice bushcraft hack. Thanks.
Will you collaborate with anyone to have this concept camp stool made from wooden dowels or aluminum to sell, or will you teach people how to make this?
That's a good idea 👍✌️
bloody great video.

Love this Video, thank you David Canterbury 🥰
Genius!!! Do you have a diagram to download? I d love to give that a go!
Great project. Thanks for sharing this work.
Thanks Dave
A little off subject but a project nevertheless I saw a commercial the other day (I walk crutch) I was wondering could you fabricate one of those in the woods if you broke your ankle in a timely fashion and walk out with a peg leg. Fabricated from wood ,sleeping pad and straps from your kit. That would be cool.
Could that middle rung be prussik knots on the verticals for tying on the load?
Great concept and execution. If only the seat was a bit higher from the ground? You looked a bit awkward trying to sit in it and I can tell you if I tried to sit on it one would think a giraffe was trying to ride a tricycle. ;-)
Beats sitting on a rock. Nice.
That's pretty sweet
Do you have some approximate measurements of the legs, seat and backsupport when in chair mode?
I’m trying to design a new style kraxe sauofen, which is similar but I have some dimensioning problems and your design might help me out!
this is so sick!!
great idea
Lotta ironwood up here in northern MN. I'm making 1 of those.
Brilliant!
Dude that's awesome
I am already thinking square aluminum tubing and rivets for this sliding-lock folding chair!
Reminds of other pack frame chairs I've seen but I think the folding aspect may not be as useful as the seat acting as a shelf for your pack. Still very neat idea, keep up the great work!
Favor colocar a legenda David ,para nos brasileiros !
My seat would NOT be sticks. It would be a fabric sleeve. Lighter, and more comfortable.

That is pretty dang cool
Thank You Sir.
That's really interesting.✊
Great project
Mmn tried making one myself years ago. It's not quite like that, but it's definitely a better idea than mine.
Wonderfull
Soo freekin cool man
Very clever
Is the Pathfinder bank line the same as CMI bank line ? And did I miss a video explaining this ?
Ours is made by them and private labeled
Freaking genius!!
👍👍
