Hunt Comfort BLOG

From an interesting discussion on hanging out in trees: ”What is neutral body posture?”  Great Question.  This got kinda way out there talking about sleep postures, the fetal position (OK Whatever!) and what is the lowest stress position.  There’s a $64,000??

Idea is “how do we set up our body best for hanging out for hours on end?” And how do we keep stresses low, reduce fatigue and keep alert so when we need to take the shot, we are confident.

Neutral body posture came from studies of work in a weightless environment - Also Known As space.  Well….it’s called gravity and we live and hunt on earth.  The demands of gravity require setting up our body posture to support loads on our frames. 

If we could only develop weightless hunting…So meanwhile here is what neutral body posture looks like courtesy of NASA :

I met Paige Darden with www.mytopo.com this summer at a show.  They offer topo maps and aerial photographic maps and I have one on order.  The value of this service is that the map ordered is plenty large at 36″x48″ and it is a hybrid.  Mytopo can combine an aerial image with the topography overlayed (very nice having both).  Tic marks are included and resolution is user selectable.  The map I ordered is laminated.  We use maps extensively in wilderness areas and I am excited about this service.  Great idea.

The summer season of expos has come to an end and the fall dealer event calendar is filling up fast.  We were asked a great question last weekend about all of the hunting shows: “Where can you find a good listing of hunting shows?”

Kim Wolhuter,wildlife photographer and filmmaker, wrote us about the Climb-On and his quote sums up the response we are after: “ Geez it sits well. Very comfortable. Usually my bum gets numb or get stiff legs but none of that on your seat.  Brilliant!”

Check out Kim’s world at www.wildcast.net speaking of brilliant!

Hunt Comfort president David Robinson along with friends Eddie Salter, Evergreen, Alabama’s World Champon Turkey Caller and Tiffany Lakosky of the Outdoor Channel’s Hot new series “Getting Close with Lee and Tiffany” at the Big Buck Expo in Lakeland, Florida this weekend.  Lee and Tiffany will be trying out Hunt Comfort’s FatBoy and Climb-On this season.  These guys spends hundreds of hours every year sitting while putting together their popular television show.  This makes them the ultimate field testers for Hunt Comfort.  http://www.gettinclose.com/ 

Hunt Comfort’s Climb-On scored a solid grade A on the recent North American Hunting ClubFieldTest.  Results will be published in the August release.  Scoring Highlights: 

Overall Approval Rating 95%, 9.3 Overall Score, and 9.9 Comfort Rating. 

If you are interested in the African wild or its animals then you have to check out Wildcast.  The link  http://www.wildcast.net/ will stay on our links.  The images and film clips from Kim Wolhuter are amazing. 

We always enjoy photos from our friends and we will put the good one’s up on the BLOG.

We received a super note from Paul Plante M.D. of the Hunt Doctors today:

“I have sat my rear on a lot of hard knotty dirt over the years but these seats are without a doubt the best I have ever used bar none. ”

We found about about the Hunt Doctors website doing research.  We are adding a link to the articles on their site http://www.thehuntdoctors.com/articles.html  The site has been under construction.  This is a nice resource for hunters needing a medical reference to some of the common problems we encounter - we wish them the best and look forward to more good information being posted. 

Hunt Comfort seats are designed to sit with the brand tag label up.  Once you can read Hunt Comfort on the sewn in label then you are ready to sit down and relax.  You can sit on the bottom side if you like - we know that over time the topside is a whole lot easier to enjoy.  You can easily get to know which side is which before your take to the woods (and it’s dark) - with FatBoy and Climb-On you can feel the gel contact layer and on the Fatboy Lite and Climb-Lite you can tell simply by softness.  Get to know the upside.
