I don't do trees, so ground blind it will be. Both bow and gun.

First use is in the month or two before harvest when I might be sitting in it all nite. At 183cm and 92Kg those little triangle things won't do.

Silent swivel, doesn't have to be 360*... comfortable seat, and backrest.

Thanx for your suggestions.
 
I'm larger than you and love my helinox chair one. Spent many days in it. Doesn't swivel though but very light and packable. Or are you looking for a chair just for a blind?
 
The Blackout 360 swivel blind chairs (no armrest) are what we have in our blinds. Very comfortable for a long sit. We had one of the model with the arm rests but the arm rests were flimsy and we returned it.
A couple of big warnings on those Blackout chairs. They are heavy to lug around and the folding legs get creaky after a while.
Ours are setup permanently so weight isn't an issue. I've modified two of them with my own bases replacing the legs. The actual seat and swivel part is fantastic. The legs, no so great for being super quiet. We have 4 of these and they all have the same issues.

Same. I've been using mine for almost 10 years.

Helinox does make a swivel version if I am not mistaken.

I use this heavy duty bag chair. Plenty of room with heavy clothes on and a nice high back to support your head during naptime. Doesn't swivel though. I'm 6'4" and close to 3 bills with bad hips and this thing is very comfortable and durable. Its not light and it does go on sale regularly.

In the month prior to harvest I may need to be closer to crops for faster reactions to my cell cam that watches for thieves.
In season possibly in a ground blind, maybe a homemade one without a roof, depending on where I go.
Lack of swivel isn't a dealbreaker... in fact it's one less possible thing to make noise or go wrong.

The helinox can make a bit if noise setting up but once it is, there's no noise. It is low to the ground but I find that preferable if using natural cover. You can set it up very quietly if you don't let the shock cords move the aluminum legs around. A guy could tape the legs if he thought it was an issue.
 
How flat is it where you are, and how high do you want to sit?

I've got one of these, great for situations where low to the ground is preferred, and due to the angle you sit at it's still comfortable on a downhill slope, you don't get that falling forward feeling like a regular chair would give you.

I've killed a couple of elk and bear sitting in that chair. They're surprisingly comfortable for long periods of time and are fairly light and compact.

The only downside is that my wife kept on stealing mine for the beach. So I had to get her another one.

Yeah they're not as lightweight as something like a helinox, but light enough to carry for a while. Wouldn't want to backpack 10km with it and all my other gear, but 1-2km in from the truck with a half-empty pack is fine, bonus points for not having any setup/tear down. And comfy enough my buddies have a habit of taking unscheduled naps in them.

And my wife does the same thing! Lol

I agree. After a couple of km mine can get annoying if it's not strapped to my pack. On my backpack I barely feel the extra pounds though. I usually bring my tripod trigger stick and that chair strapped to my backpack if I'm going further than a km. Both are fairly light and well worth lugging around. A light camo "blanket" can be shoved in my backpack if needed for extra blending. I've had elk and deer within 5 yards before they noticed me.

I've got one too and its great for glassing uphill.
It is a bit of a trick for this 225 6'3" dude to climb up out of. especially in a hurry.
But I do like very much how low I am in it.
