Hunt Comfort BLOG

This past summer over dinner, JJ Reich the field test coordinator for NAHC overheard me say that Hunt Comfort’s custom shop refit turkey vests.  The next thing I knew we were talking about all the options and possibilities of a simple cushion.  JJ said that there were at least 160,000 options to what we were discussing.  I never checked the math but I can tell you that there are a pile of possibilities.

This past week, we built a couple of Skinny FatBoys at the design request of a customer.  The seats were 12 3/4 inches wide rather than the usual 14.  The seats had FC-1 snap adapts to help fasten them down, and instead of 40-inch straps, the seats were built with 13-inch straps.  A set of Do-Lolly’s went along with the order.   Take a look at http://www.huntcomfort.com/fc1.pdf  to see how the straps work.  The point here is that for less than $20 extra, the seats were built to specification.  They look great and they will fit the exact requirements of the customer.  Hunt Comfort custom has done lots of designs over the years from vests to whatever our customers have imagined.  We ask for a couple of things: 1) Understand that without a detailed drawing we cannot build it. 2) Know that our custom times vary according to our production schedule.  Sometimes it may take 3 days and other times 4 to 6 weeks.  We are not equipped to do rush work, but we do guarantee all work for 3 years.

We get a good many notes from bear hunters who spend countless hours on stand waiting for bruins to appear.  Without a great seat, the end of the day can be a major pain in the buns.  North American Hunter Associate Editor Luke Hartle recently wrote this about the condition :

It’s no secret that Manitoba is home to some of the best black bear hunting in the world, but even so, I knew this was going to be a wait—then wait some more—type of hunt. I spent nearly 50 hours in a 3×3-foot stand that week, and the Climb-On seat cushion from Hunt Comfort saved my butt, literally. If you find yourself in a similar situation, regardless of the game you pursue, I recommend you tote one along.
