Niff-T-Seat

For many years I have hunted with a bucket.  Those times are all over — let me tell you why — NIFF-T-SEAT.

April, 3, 2002 — With the bucket you put the gear in and carry with one hand, the bow or gun with the other. No hands free.  Cross a stream, pull yourself up a hill, change hands walking or take things out of the bucket to get things on the bottom. Does it work?  Surely! But NIFF-T-SEAT works one better or two or three or four. Why? Let me explain.

This unique seat is a folding seat that has four different leg extensions that you can use separately or all together. It can be adjusted from 5", 11", 16" or 22" in a matter of seconds. Oh by the way it hangs on your belt at less than 5 lbs.! Therefore you can put your gear in a backpack or fanny pack and have one hand free. This neat little but comfortable seat also comes with baked-on black legs and a choice of two colors, Mossy Oak Breakup and Realtree Brown.  Did I tell you it is also self-standing?

The sections that screw together go in swiftly and easily. Screwing in to each other to the desired length that you want. Then included is a metal washer that is about six inches in diameter. This metal disc goes on the bottom then is installed with a small six-inch spike-like threaded rod that goes through the disc and screws on to the bottom rod holding the disc in place. This disc holds the base rods from sinking in the ground. I put the whole thing together in two minutes! I am 230 lbs and it did not sink in to the ground. It also swivels.

Swivels 360 degrees silently and without any noticeable creaks, moans or squeaks. When you stand up it does not fall over either. This seat allowed me to turn right, left, completely around, look in back of a tree or bush and not even worry about it falling over or the ground having to be level. Incredible! Another neat trick in soft marshy grass is to take a plastic bucket cover and put a hole in the middle of it, install seat to the height desired and put the bottom stud through the bucket top and in the ground. Again it stays up even when you get up and will not sink. 

All the separate legs fit nicely in compartments in the bottom of the heavy cloth seat. The disc and the stud insert into a built in pocket and walking with it is completely noise free. No chains, no noise or things that dangle or bounce around. The owner of the company, Roger Montgomery, had to convince me to try it, I am glad he did. Sliced bread might taste better but you cannot sit on it to hunt. This NIFF-T-Seat is going with me to outdoor events, hunting, fishing and everything outdoors. Shooting from it was so easy it was incredible. Now I am thinking of installing one in my living room.                                                                                       

Do you want to know who uses it? How about Bill Jordan's Realtree Outdoors cameramen? Also, many well known outdoor writers and hunters both big game and waterfowl hunters. I did not know that. So if you want a nifty little all purpose seat www.nifftseat.com. You will not be sorry, I wasn’t.
