BRNDL Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I used to be an avid course fisherman so have quite a bit of gear. I have an old fishing box with full octoplus fittings. Like in the picture but in black with a cushioned seat. I was thinking of spraying the box up in cammo and using this as a shooting seat? It just seems too practical not to use something like this?? Would you let me in your hide if I turned up with this? Edited August 22, 2013 by BRNDL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 To be honest you dont even need to camo it as you'll be behind a net.Matt black or poo brown would surfice. I sometimes use a directors chair which is very comfy and encourages me to fall asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best gauge is load it up and take a walk....what have you to put in it and how far would you expect to walk? If you shoot 50 pigeons then you will have close to 60lbs so where would they go?

BRNDL Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I have hauled some serious weight in this box over the years. Easily 25kg fully laden with all my tackle and bait in and most waters I fished require a decent walk to your peg... It even has side trays that clip on. One to keep your butties in and one for your empty shells. To be honest you dont even need to camo it as you'll be behind a net.Matt black or poo brown would surfice. I sometimes use a directors chair which is very comfy and encourages me to fall asleep. I like the cammo idea...a nice little project. It just lacks a back rest!
