Been looking for ages for pants or short with waterproofing on the bum to not get wet when you seat in the bush. I’m not talking about a rain pant I have one of these they are too noisy…
Not even sure if what I have in mind actually exist on the market
better to carry something to sit on bro, i had a few pairs or shorts with dry bum and they make my ass sweat way worse then anything i could sit on anyway. Little blow up ones from mountain warehouse has been solid had a thurmarest for ages too
I carry a square of mover's bubble wrap. Compact and light
Cut a bit of closed cell foam to fit inside your daybag.pull that out to sit on,far better idea,dry bum shorts all good in theory but not so good in practice.
I have both, bushbuck do dri seat shorts, actually a pretty good product and good price when on special.
I also carry a square of foam I cut off one of those folding sleeping mats (really good if it's a bit cold or your sitting on hard rocky ground.

Otherwise, take some scissors to your wife's yoga mat. She won't mind.
Folded up square of foam mat and doubles as a dog bed at night.
Man this stuff is noisy…Quote:

The mat is good for standing on outside the tent or kicking back outside your tent. Weighs nothing.
your wife rang your funeral is in two days time .just thought id let you know -cause of death "yoga mat":yuush:Quote:

Have recently upgraded my piece of warehouse roll mat cutoff that got a bit too torn up to one of these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005269300141.html
I'll remind her that she is very short and doesn't need a long mat. In fact, I've done her a favour because it's less to carry around now. Do you think it will go well for me?Quote:

I had a pair of those fleece pants with a waterproof membrane in the seat. Horribly noisy to walk in and sweaty as. I use a small square of foam mat to sit on - just roll it up and stuff it in side of the backpack when not in use. Also good for standing on in the morning getting dry socks and boots on when the ground outside the tent is wet.
These go alright for shorts, Huntech - High Country & kakariki (cammo) colors have a seam sealed dry seat lining.

tube of silicone and some kerosene, 1 part silicone to 3 parts kerosene turns into a thick paste paint on whatever you want waterproofed - job done worked on me for tents, ground mats hunting bags etc
kero evaporates and leaves the silicone
I had a set of maybe hunters element pants with a waterproof seat in them, I reckon that my ass was wetter from sweating while i was walking than from sitting on the ground.
I've got some huntech fleece pants with dry seat in the bum area. They are ok on cold days but sweat up when you start warming up. Foam mat is the answer.
I have a spare dry bag in my pack. It doubles as a dry place to sit, or garbage bag, or game bag, or whatever.

Kero or turps? I used turps and it was quite a thin mixture, but effective..Quote:
