Abstract
A method for deploying a portable seat is disclosed. The method may begin with obtaining a portable seating system comprising an anchor, a first tether, a second tether, and a seat. Once obtained, the portable seating system may be deployed. This may include wrapping and securing the anchor around a portion of a tree, using the first tether to suspend a first end of the seat from a first portion of the anchor, and using a second tether to suspend a second end of the seat from a second portion of the anchor. With the portable seating system deployed, a human may use the seat such that all weight applied by the human to the portable seating system is transferred from the anchor to the tree.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- obtaining a portable seating system comprising an anchor, a first tether, a second tether, and a seat;
- deploying the portable seating system, the deploying comprising
- wrapping and securing the anchor around a portion of a tree,
- suspending, by the first tether, a first end of the seat from a first portion of the anchor, and
- suspending, by the second tether, a second end of the seat from a second portion of the anchor;
- and
- supporting, by the portable seating system while the portable seating system is deployed, a human seated on the seat.
A method comprising:
- obtaining a portable seating system comprising an anchor, a first tether, a second tether, and a seat that each comprise flexible material;
- deploying the portable seating system, the deploying comprising
- wrapping the anchor horizontally around a portion of a tree,
- securing the anchor horizontally wrapped around the portion of the tree,
- substantially vertically suspending, by the first tether, a first end of the seat from a first portion of the anchor, and
- substantially vertically suspending, by the second tether, a second end of the seat from a second portion of the anchor;
- and
- supporting, by the portable seating system while the portable seating system is deployed, a human seated on the seat such that all weight applied by the human to the portable seating system is transferred from the anchor to the tree.
A method comprising:
- obtaining a portable seating system comprising an anchor, a first tether, a second tether, and a seat;
- deploying the portable seating system, the deploying comprising
- wrapping the anchor horizontally around a trunk of a tree,
- securing the anchor horizontally wrapped around the trunk of the tree,
- substantially vertically suspending, by the first tether, a first end of the seat from a first connection point of the anchor, and
- substantially vertically suspending, by the second tether, a second end of the seat from a second connection point of the anchor;
- sitting, by a human, on the seat while the portable seating system is deployed;
- supporting, by the portable seating system during the sitting, the human such that all weight applied by the human to the portable seating system is transferred from the anchor to the tree;
- and
- drawing, by gravitational forces during the sitting, the human toward the tree such that a back of the human is against the trunk of the tree.
