Cedar, hedge,multifloral rose, tons of tiny limbs and stuff to get caught on or be in my way for a shot . I bought a ghillie top thinking it would help but man that thing gets stuck on everything and the head part of it is weird. Also When I go to sit in my chair I am not low enough to see under the "cedar line". So my questions are, use the ghillie or ditch it? What footwear to use when sneaking? What stool or chair could I use and still be "mobile" and turn for shots? (something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Hunters-Specialt ... 545&sr=8-1)
I typically pack my ghillie suit until I get to where I'm going. Then put it on when I'm sitting. I have been using this turkey thugs stool which works good but can be very uncomfortable if you don't have a good back rest. I also sometimes will take a foam kneeling pad I got at Lowe's for like 10$ instead. That works well in the cold because I feel like it keeps me warmer by insulating me off of the ground.
Both of them are somewhat packable and light.

That turkey seat has me intrigued, how high off the ground does it sit?
It's slanted some. The front is a little taller I think to accommodate having your but lower than your knees. I believe it's 6 to 8 inches, but I can measure it when I get home.
I have a seat real similar to that one but the legs don't fold up. Still it carries good and works well for ground hunting with a ghille
