Ground based portable seat

Abstract: A ground based portable seat which is capable of elevating the user up and off the ground and provides for a variable seating position independently or in combination with an object on terrain of varying slopes and undulating surfaces. A frame structure includes first and second generally U-shaped frame members pivotally attached to each other at their open ends and with a sling member suspended between the distal lateral closed ends. The sling member is shorter than a length that allows the pivotal connections to be opened to a pivot angle of 180 degrees magnitude. Placing the two pivotal connections on the ground for use of the seat, makes two point contact with the ground as a base. A third, stabilizing point of ground contact is provided by the user's foot.
